Welcome to autocracy. The Republic we have known for the last 240 years is gone. This is going to keep getting worse. Much worse. The courts mean nothing, the law means nothing, Congress is irrelevant. He is a malignant psychopath.

Truth.

In case anyone is wondering how the world sees us.

Evil.

Pass it on. #StandWithUkraine

Friends, May we never forget that while negotiations,statements, addresses and the rest of the (undoubtedly important) diplomacy track are happening,exhausted #Ukrainian men &women in military uniform are holding back evil on the frontlines. Without them,there would be no diplomacy track at all.

All this so mediocre white men can feel superior. Disgusting and pathetic.

Many people are asking me if Elon Musk is stealing tax-payer money or using our private information to enrich himself? I’m a Member of Congress on the committee for Government Oversight and I can’t tell you that he’s not. That’s a problem.

I went to post about the National Japanese American Memorial in D.C., which is beautiful but usually missed by tourists. It is a deeply staggering admission of guilt and a warning to future Americans. I went to link to the inscriptions and- Well, they took the site down. www.nps.gov/places/japan...

If someone can explain the difference between a “migrant facility” and a concentration camp, I’m all ears.

This is how you say “go fuck yourself sideways with a porcupine” in inspector general speak. Going to be interesting to see how the administration responds

And anyone who voted for him.

Last night Donald Trump was fêted by billionaires on bended knee while those of us in the pro-democracy movement did the hard work and stand tall. We may not have their wealth, but we have our dignity and resolve. Our work continues.

Best thing our allies can remember: if you stand up to Trump you intimidate him and he will back down. If you crawl to him (like his sycophantic politicians) he will not respect you and will eventually throw you under the bus.

Today is a significant day, the start of four years of resistance. Our daily mission from this point forward will be the unwavering support of the people, exposing any attempt to undermine democracy.

Because of course they are. Returning to $400 for less than a month's supply of insulin is going to kill people. It did in the past. It will again.

I cannot believe that our ghetto ass govn't actually worked together to get rid of a fuckin app. Meanwhile, I can die from eating a mixed salad laced with Listeria or a mass shooting on my way to get it. Man, FUCK YALLL

When the madman cosplays a hero and signs his EO Monday reversing the TikTok ban, remember this…

I am disgusted by every aspect of this. Trump called for a ban in 2020 and now he will swoop in and “save” TikTok for us mere mortals. It was a setup from day one.

Breaking All Records, Trump’s Inauguration Set to Bring in $250M from Billionaires & Corporations 250 million dollars is not going to be spent on the inauguration. There's no way it could be. These are bribes. Out in the open bribes. www.democracynow.org/2025/1/17/tr...

It is clear that President Biden has zero fucks left to give and I am here for it.

President Biden should sign the 90-day extension for the TikTok ban before Trump has the chance.

Dear Joe, I know it feels really wrong to order your AG to release a Special Counsel report because that’s been a bad thing to do for so long. But the Supreme Court says it’s okay now. It’s legal. It’s an official act. So go ahead, Mr. President. It’s normal now. ~ Everyone

But as always, the Vice President handles herself with dignity and class. Just imagine what the next four years could look like.

VP Harris and Secretary Clinton—two people who have dedicated their lives to this country. I’m eternally grateful for both of these amazing public servants!

This is so unbelievably offensive I truly hope Canadians understand that a significant percentage of Americans are daily embarrassed that this man is an American at all, let alone the president-elect

Serious question: What, exactly, was Hakeem Jeffries doing during this process? As minority leader of the House of Representatives he should have been whipping votes for AOC so the Democratic party could finally move forward. But no, let’s just alienate more of our voters. What could happen?

I can’t believe we have four more years of listening to his bullshit. He’s such a pathetic, uneducated, moronic, joke of a human being. Is it any wonder the rest of the world is laughing at us?

“The order, which takes immediate effect, also requires stricter review of end-usage for graphite items shipped to the U.S. …graphite is the largest component by volume of electric vehicle batteries.” Nice move.

Stop calling Trump’s nominees “loyalists.” They are henchmen.

Let us hope it is complete and unredacted.

After watching this I am left with two questions: 1: If it is not a law that you cannot prosecute a sitting president, why are the charges being dropped? 2. Why is there a statute of limitations on treason?

I mean, roads are part of transportation. Makes sense.

Facts.

If the legacy media was doing its job and not sucking up to Trump, this would be a national scandal. “Republicans filed four more lawsuits to stop the counting of certain ballots in the Pennsylvania general election.” www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

It was a 49% to 48% election. Fascism won by a hair. And it took Russian and MAGA bomb threats, a hoax regarding battleground-state police raids, an illegal Musk-funded lottery, $600M given to Trump by just 15 people, Netanyahu meddling in our politics, and Democrats staying home for it to happen.

Except, you did. We have all watched billionaires purchase politicians on both sides of the aisle for decades. Then we are shocked when they come to collect. No one funnels millions into a campaign without expecting something in return.
