Donald Trump only has a 36% approval rating on the economy in the new 2025 AP/NORC Center poll. It can go lower. 🍿

Stephen Miller, Tom Homan, Kristi Noem and a whole lot of ICE/DHS types is will discover a Strange New Respect for habeas corpus and the rule of law when the 2029 Truth and Reconciliation Commission arrests them for human trafficking, conspiracy, kidnapping, and child abuse.

Gulf of Mexico of course

Even if you think Paul Weiss and Columbia made the only choice available to them in the circumstances (and that's not what I think, to be clear), you have to recognize that there's no future for our democracy if every powerful institution approaches official extortion in this way.

Don’t let them scare you. Don’t let them get you to give up hope. This is what they want more than anything. Their evil is never more alive than when we sleep.

Here’s the link to @sanders.senate.gov website to find locations for the Anti-Oligarchy tour near you! Hopefully @aoc.bsky.social and Bernie make a trip to Tennessee✊🏽💙 #ResistOligarchy #FightOligarchy #StopTheCoup #DigitalResistance berniesanders.com/oligarchy/

every person involved in this needs to be in prison

"I think you caved. I don't think you showed the fight this party needs right now, because you're playing by a rulebook where the other party has thrown that rulebook away" -- here's the full clip of Sunny Hostin confronting Schumer today on The View

Kinda feels like this right now

Donald Trump has ended USSS protection for both Hunter Biden and Ashley Biden. Another clear signal that he himself never intends to be an ex-president, nor see his family be the family of an ex-president. The number of such signals is growing exponentially by the week.

It's telling that Canada started protesting the incredibly dangerous and irresponsible Donald Trump by pulling American products off its shelves before one American foot hit a street in protest. We are lagging behind in our response to fascism-by-the- stupid and need to step up our game.

You love to see it

This sweet nervous pup was rescued from an abusive household, and now he joins his loving cat bestie for bed every night 🥹💕 *Please consider adoption. There are so many animals dumped in rescues and shelters, waiting for loving forever homes ❤️ 🎥 Cattalescentral #cats #dogs

Share if you agree. 🇨🇦 🇲🇽

Carney: Canada never ever will be part of America in any way, shape, or form. We didn’t ask for this fight, but Canadians are always ready when someone else drops the gloves.

It used to be clear that Democrats stood on the side of working people. Then they started chasing the “center.” Today’s Democratic establishment leaders have brought the party — and the country — down with them.

Amen

Tired of winning?

re the previous repost: if they can disappear permanent residents they can disappear citizens

According to Rachel Maddow, the Trump administration is cutting funding for the sterilizing of instruments for surgery at all VA hospitals, taking our military back to Civil War levels of safe medical care.

Trump is a Russian agent! Yep, Putin has the Pee Pee tape!

Their job is to **identify American soldiers** killed in combat and Trump has told them to stand down and stop their work. "Forensic genealogists who help identify U.S. soldiers killed in combat were told to pause their efforts..." www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

The perfect metaphor for what the Supreme Court did to this country with Citizens United v. FEC.

Just read this graf. Share it with people you know who don’t pay attention to politics or news.

Can confirm. Former USAID here, and I’ve been approached twice in the last 30 days.

🚨ATTENTION The deadline to register to vote in Florida’s special elections in CD-1 or CD-6 is THIS MONDAY, March 3rd. These two seats are crucial with a narrow majority in the House. Double check your status and register to vote at iwillvote.com.

Ending the night with this. *Get your hankies* A D-Day veteran called a gracious and humbled Zelenskyy a hero.

These things are related. Anyone who wants to save Social Security from Musk and Trump’s cuts must join us to fight back.

Lemme get this straight… Donald Trump didn’t get a ceasefire deal between Ukraine and Russia. He clearly didn’t end the war. He didn’t get Zelenskyy to sign a minerals deal. He ended the peace talks and canceled a press conference. And MAGA thinks he’s a brilliant negotiator? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

MAGA wants peace in the same way a guy that beats his wife just wants a happy marriage.

WOW. After yesterday’s Oval Office ambush of President Zelensky, Haltbakk Bunkers, one of Norway’s leading marine fuel providers, announced that it will no longer refuel U.S. Navy vessels, urging other European firms to follow suit. The United States is weaker and more isolated than ever.

It’s been a long day, but in short, bullies ain’t shit! I don’t care what title you hold! This isn’t some long gone reality tv show or failed casino; it is war! How dare a draft dodging dumb dupe humiliate an ally & berate a brave man who has actually been on a battlefield for his people?!

I’ve been suggesting on TV and podcasts—without actual evidence(!)—that it may turn out that DOJ will wind up not having enough lawyers to defend all the lawsuits challenging this administration’s illegal conduct. Turns out it seems already to be true. 👉
