the basic problem facing american democracy is that one party has decided it wants a king and will hand over as much authority as is necessary to make that happen

For those of you keeping score: When President Biden left office, the stock market had risen to a healthy 43,487. Since trump launched his stupid trade war, the stock market has plummeted to 37,958, just 77 days later. He is a fucking IDIOT. Any questions?

Attention White House: Thou shalt not joke about how you sent an innocent father of 3 to a gulag while his autistic son smells his shirts to remember him.

Warmonger Trump desperately trying to get people excited about a war in Yemen to protect primarily Chinese and Saudi shipping so he can try and divert attention away from tanking the economy. We will be up to $2 billion in costs next week bombing shacks in the desert.

Important reminder if you’re going to the protest tomorrow. Keep in mind Trump wants any excuse he can find to declare martial law.

It's not a bad idea to go to the local Walmart or big box retailer and buy lots of consumables now. From toothpaste to soap, anything you can find storage space for, buy before they have to replenish inventory. Even if it's made in the USA , they will jack up the price and blame it on tariffs.

If you have a Republican representing you in the House or Senate, call them to demand they undo Trump's tariffs. They're already shaken by the 20 point shift in Florida and the Wisconsin loss. You can fuel that feeling.

🔥 “Without a level playing field — without Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion — Meritocracy fails spectacularly… it’s ok to at any point stop and admit you didn’t think this all the way through.” cc: Rep. Aron Maberry (who is carrying yet another an anti-DEI bill)

Trump's only move. Blackmail. He's doing it to everyone: law firms, companies, colleges, states, Canada, NATO, Ukraine. He was impeached in the first term for it. It's the only "art of the deal" he's ever known: strongman mafioso extortion. He'll re-run the same play forever until America collapses.

This letter appeared in the Bloomsburg PA Press Enterprise this morning. I am assured the writer is who he purports to be, an Air Force veteran.

@jayapal.house.gov This is better communication. It’s what I mean when I say Democrats need to get LOUD. Get out of the MSNBC/social media safe bubble and talk directly to GOP & Ind. Use even more forceful & emotional language next time.

Zelensky is a heroic man handling a horrific and unjust attack on the people he loves with such integrity and courage that the morally vacuous grifters our country has bafflingly elected don't have the capacity to understand him. It is incumbent on all of us to support Ukraine.

At home, Trump has enabled Musk to stage a coup against the government with his army of unvetted stooges taking over the Treasury. Abroad, he's shut down aid & canceled malaria/ HIV programs & put 1000s of lives at risk. Meanwhile, top Democratic leaders are tweeting about egg and priza prices. 😠

I think people theorizing Trump will tire of answering to his billionaire buddy may be underestimating how much we don’t know about what Musk did to get him elected, on a bargain struck to keep him out of jail.

When your relatives start arguing at Thanksgiving, calmly grab your favorite serving bowl of food like you're going to the kitchen to refill it, and just don't come back. Quietly escape with your favorite food. This has been survival tips with Jen.

If you’re a Republican and you’re done with Trump‘s BS (his hate, his racism or his childish name-calling & insults), you can vote for Harris. You’re allowed to vote for anyone you like and it won’t change your party affiliation. Best part – no one will know and you’ll be able to sleep at night.
