“At least Russia has elections” Russia frequently jails and kills any opposition to Putin, who has been in power since 1999. If you like dictatorships, that’s fine. Just admit that. Don’t insult anyone’s intelligence—including your own—by claiming Russia has real elections.

How much is Congress cutting from their $6.5 billion/year budget? Don’t you think congress can operate on say, maybe, $5 Billion? And each congressman has 18 staff, they could operate on say, 14? What about the White House?

The irony of the richest man in the world almost single-handedly destroying an agency designed to help the world’s poor, so that the U.S. federal budget has more room for another giant tax cut for the richest man in the world and his pals, should not be lost on anyone. [Cartoon by Mike Luckovich]

One of my all-time favorite movies, and not just because we are the same age 😎

Spot on.

We found the real one!

One of our supporters shared this with us—people are getting creative tonight!

Did you know? American taxpayers would be saved $8 MILLION PER DAY if we simply canceled Elon Musk’s defense contracts.

How much Elon Musk makes from the government a day: $8 million. How much a senior on Social Security gets a day: $65 Guess which budget Musk and Trump want to cut?

Thou shalt not spend millions on Super Bowl ads about Jesus when you could’ve used it to feed the hungry.

I’m not at all surprised. 💙

Make it make sense.

Duckworth: How many nations are in ASEAN? Hegseth: We have allies in South Korea, Japan, and Australia. Duckworth: None of those countries are in ASEAN. 🤦‍♀️

After reading Jack Smith’s synopsis of the crimes Trump committed on January 6 this quote from Noam Chomsky hits a little harder. I was always taught no one is above the law, but obviously that is not true. Going to be a long 4 years. #WeAreTheOpposition

I hope with the benefit of hindsight, Biden will finally be recognized for what he is: one of the most successful Presidents of our time. #ThanksJoe

Sunday funday with these festive felines! ❤️💚

Best gift ever. Thanks @jimmykimmel.com

Jeffries: In our nation's history, 25% of our nation's debt was accumulated during the four years of the former president, 25%. How dare you lecture America about fiscal responsibility ever.

The world's richest man managed to take $190 million away from a *child cancer research center* with his posts yesterday. Funding now stripped in the new bill.

As the oligarchy begins to take shape, this meme seems more prescient than ever. They have convinced you that immigrants are your enemy while they pick your pockets at the same time, you’ve been duped. It’s the billionaires who are ruining this country,not migrants. Always has been. #RiseAndResist

Whoever this is, they’re tragically right.

This is exactly how I feel. I am so happy with his decision.

All I want for Christmas is for Twitter to keep bleeding away millions of users every day to Bluesky until Twitter is nothing more than a bigger, emptier, Truth Social shithole. Manifest THAT. 🙏🎁

Choose one alive or human

I truly wouldn’t care if a man dressed like the king of England was in the urinal next to me. I get that for extremely online rightwingers, a trip to a public bathroom might be the most memorable moment of the day, but the rest of us truly do not give a shit who is peeing nearby.

Conflicted about deleting my twitter account… I tweeted/retweeted some good stuff over the years. But also, it sucks there. 🙃
