Trump's attempt to redefine birthright citizenship is nothing new. He didn't invent race-baiting. Can a President define away US citizenship? Nope. United States v. Wong Kim Ark. 🇺🇲🇲🇽🇨🇦

When Rupert Murdoch’s rags turn on you …

here is the thing about the “argument” that democrats should have run roughshod over the law when they had the chance: it is much easier to break the law to destroy a program than break the law to create one.

Trump is bad news for legit business. His corrupt administration benefits sketchy scams like crypto. “It’s pretty clear that markets are waking up to the consumer impact of tariffs. ...[C]onsumers are voicing their opinions with major changes in buying behaviors and sentiment ...” Cox told CNBC.

Connolly: "The fallacy of Musk's argument is they never look at revenue. They only look at expenditures. If you want to save social security, it's a fairly easy fix. Raise income threshold subject to withholding tax & you can extend social security by 40 to 50yrs. He doesn't want to talk about that"

Malcolm Nance has been associated with US Intelligence and is a prominent talking head. His view that Trump is a Russochurian President might reflect a consensus in the US Intelligence community. I hope they don't do anything rash - again. No "cures" worse than the disease.

There are moments in these deportation fights when I can just FEEL how pissed off they are that I’m Puerto Rican 😂 they want to threaten me with it so bad 😂

No, but if you’re looking for one, I am aware of a guy you work with that was indicted four times and convicted of thirty-four felonies.

This is true. @bsky.app is the app of the people. We may not all agree. We may not even all like each other. But we can engage and disagree and agree with our hate That makes the platform the future of social media

Jamie Raskin: "Given that I was marching at age 3, you know I’m not letting any coup-plotting, election-denying, insurrection-supplying autocrat, kleptocracy, plutocrat or theocrat, or any techno-feudalist Silicon Valley broligarchs aspiring dictator, turn me around now.” Amen!!

Republicans forced to answer for the fact that their leader isn't simply soft on Russia but affirmatively on the side of Russia agst not only Ukraine but America's historic treaty allies. The shame will take generations to undo. www.axios.com/newsletters/...

Blumenthal: "What world is he living in? It is not only contrary to the facts and the truth but utterly despicable. A disgusting betrayal of a country that has bled and fought and died for freedom ... the president's surrender is pathetic and weak."

The next President of the United States?

Tyranny requires your fear, your silence, and your compliance. Democracy requires your courage.

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is not a dictator. He is a champion of democracy, freedom and truth.

Former 🇺🇸 ambassador to Russia 👇🏽

Not according to Marbury v. Madison.

President Zelenskyy has been one of the greatest leaders of our time, guiding Ukraine through the darkest period of its recent history, rising up to Russia’s unwarranted aggression, being an inspiration to the Ukrainian people and ensuring that Ukraine’s voice is heard on the world stage.

Trump = Putin. The election put Trump in again, and so here we are on a road to nowhere. With Trump’s Prostration to Putin, Expect a More Dangerous World www.nytimes.com/2025/02/19/o...

Father Pence is not having the ‘King’s’ BS.

Duckworth: "He essentially just surrendered to Putin."

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.

Bernie Sanders: "We're not only dealing with a move toward authoritarianism, we're dealing with what is new to America -- politicians have always lied, nothing new about that. But the level that we're seeing right now. The big lie, over and over again ... "

@raskin.house.gov: "The whole anti-corruption crusade is an absolute fraud. They started by decimating the ranks of the inspectors general. These are the people whose job is actually, day in and day out, 365 days a year, to ferret out waste, fraud and abuse in the departments and the agencies."

I wonder what BigBalls is doing with my SSN right now.
