Trump pardoned the sentence of arguably the single biggest drug trafficker in American history on his second day in office!

There have never been kings in America. The monarchy doesn't start now.

Chris Murphy: "My prediction is that if you vote for Kash Patel, more than any other confirmation vote you make, you will come to regret this one to your grave."

Kamala was right. And it only took him less than 30 days to roll over for Putin.

The flying public needs answers. How many FAA personnel were just fired? What positions? And why?

The UK has a shadow cabinet - political positions within the party that isn’t in power - and so should we. Plus, we need weekly press briefings led by @petebuttigieg.bsky.social on the state of the union. Business-as-usual time is over.

From budget hawks at the Peterson Foundation: GOP budget adds "trillions more in new deficits and debt. It allows for $4.5 trillion in revenue reductions, with only $1.2 trillion in offsets. All told, this plan would add more than $25 trillion to the debt over the next decade."

Used to be Republicans hated Russia. Now they want to spoon with it. Hegseth’s comments capitulating to Russia and poo-pooing Ukraine’s inclusion into NATO is EXACTLY what was expected.

The GOP budget is out. Republicans recently promised to love and cherish Medicaid. Their actual plan is to destroy it.

“I didn’t expect a Trump win to cause me to lose my job, but that’s what happened...” www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Senate needs to respond to mass firings of Jan 6 attack prosecutors by rejecting Trump nominees. Have a spine and stand up to this autocratic effort to rewrite history and embolden political violence. Block Bondi and Patel.

They are coming for the abortion pill next 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻

If Lisa Murkowski can say no to Hegseth what is wrong with Joni Ernst??

If anyone ever wants to get serious about preventing government shutdowns, stop fucking paying Congress when they can’t do their jobs and fund the government.

Hakeem Jeffries: "Republicans are marching America to a painful government shutdown that will crash the economy and hurt working-class Americans because they would rather enact massive tax cuts for their billionaire donors than fund cancer research for children."

These people eliminated 190 million dollars in childhood cancer research money to pay for tax cuts for the wealthiest corporations in human history. I’m a no.

ABC (Disney), Washington Post (Bezos), Meta (Zuckerberg), LA Times (Soon-Shiong)... all bending the knee to Trump, all obeying in advance, all sucking up to the Dictator-in-Waiting. This is (part of) how democracies die. This is the Orban, Putin, Netanyahu and Modi playbooks.

South Korean lawmakers have already moved to impeach Yoon Suk Yeol after his martial law fiasco. That’s what courage in the legislative branch looks like. Too bad we have none of that here.

The House Ethics Committee should release the Matt Gaetz report. Repost if you agree.
