I celebrate the 80% of Germans who did not vote for the far right. Do not make 19.6% of German voters into "the" German people (again). "The" German people don't exist! The German population is diverse and divided, but voted overwhelmingly for liberal democratic parties. #BTW25 #GermanElection

I know a federal employee who says he works from home in the morning but just watches TV and calls into political shows to rant psychotically about windmills and toilets. His salary is $400K. We're paying some people a lot to do nothing. Where can I report him for theft of government services?

AOC has them sputtering mad because she’s educating people on constitutional rights. You don’t see them freaking out at Jeffries for talking about egg prices.
