Elon Musk's private security detail has been deputized as Federal Marshalls and can carry firearms on Federal property. What could possibly go wrong? www.cnn.com/2025/02/20/p...

83% percent of Americans oppose Trump’s pardon of the felons convicted for their violence during the attack on the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021… So we wouldn’t, you know, want to keep reminding people of that, every day, would we now?

The FDIC protects your hard earn money in the bank and helps prevent another financial crash. Trump and Musk’s move to fire these workers is dangerous. I led Senate Democrats in pushing back, and now independent investigators are on the case.

I have never doubted for one second that Trump is a rapist. The way he talks about Ukraine really confirms it. Ukraine sure as fuck wasn’t asking to be invaded.

“At the end of the day, this isn’t just about Ukraine. It’s about whether democracy can survive the forces trying to destroy it. And Trump has once again made it crystal clear which side he’s on—and it’s not the side of democracy.”

During WWII, four brothers from the same Jewish family signed up to fight against the Nazis. Only one of the four brothers survived. His grandson is the current President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky. Sláva Ukrayíni!

We wanted them to have healthcare and a high paying job and a planet to live on and freedom. They want us to suffer. The parties are not the same.

How is it going to help the average American (or really most people in the world) for the US to all of a sudden side with the most violent autocratic oligarchy bully in the world that is Russia?

Today, TODAY!, I am wondering how… Do we stay and hide? Do we stay and fight? Do we flee before we have to flee? Do we flee after it’s too late? Do we flee when nobody will take us? Do we la la la it can’t happen here, everything-is-fine do nothing?

NATIONAL ARCHIVES UNDER ASSAULT: They’re coming for our history. The US archivist & staff resigned after Trump officials pushed to replace them w/loyalists. Not just records you’d expect—slave records, immigration records, Native American treaties—all at risk. Will they rewrite or destroy history?

"President Trump has a method of operating which the Russians call razvedka boyem —reconnaissance through battle: You push and you see what happens, and then you change your position. ... And we need to respond," the Polish minister said at the Munich conference. www.politico.eu/article/macr...

Canada, bro, so fukn sorry. Most of us think this insane asshole needs to go. He didn’t even get a majority of votes. He had to cheat and illegally get rid of 4.5 million legal votes to win. Apologies Big C, we love ya. - Sane America.

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

Happy Presidents Day to all—yes, even to the MAGA Republicans who are busy rewriting history, attacking democracy, and pretending facts don’t exist. While they worship failed leadership, we celebrate real presidents who defended freedom, stood for justice, and actually won the popular vote. 💙

There are around 15k trans soldiers, sailors, and airmen in the US Military. Through executive order, Donald Trump has begun removing all of them. Our enemies have taken out more troops than were lost in Afghanistan and both Gulf Wars, combined, without firing a shot.

BREAKING: France, Germany, Poland, Italy, Spain & UK sign a joint statement vowing to protect Ukraine’s sovereignty & demanding a role in the peace talks. This is leadership. It’s also unprecedented. A western alliance is having to form against a new, twin & united threat: Trump & Putin.

Trump announced he was going to pardon all these terrorists well before the election. Are we to understand that the leaders of the Fraternal Order of Police can't read, or watch TV?

Trump is indiscriminately firing workers at the Hanford NUCLEAR cleanup site. For Elon & DOGE who have NO CONCEPT of what these workers do: trying to run Hanford with a skeleton crew is a recipe for DISASTER that could have irreversible impacts.
