Similar to his pretending to support police in the same location where his actions led to the beating and death of police.

Zero Democratic votes for the Republican budget made to cut programs like Medicaid, Medicare, Social Security, and food stamps to pay for billionaire tax cuts. Reject being the minority, embrace being the opposition!

Democrats need to align here and not give a single vote. Not 1.

Let’s get something clear. The GOP has the power to keep the government from shutting down in March. They control both chambers of Congress and the White House. If they can’t reach a budget deal within their own ranks, that completely on them. Dems: Don’t lift a finger to help them. Not one.

Never write this off as just teasing and trolling, goofing and goading. Not from him. It's probing. It's "softening up." You normalize talking about a third Trump term, then over time people become acclimated to the possibility. "Haha" becomes "Sure, why not?" becomes "Let's make this happen."

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

Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism. We have to sustain each other. Making joy isn’t denial, it’s how we will survive

As they DOGE ✂️ programs for regular people & mass fire federal workers (largely veterans), Trump’s Tax Cuts: -Add $4.6 TRILLION to the deficit -$48 BILLION to top 100 firms A wealth transfer to the top. They don’t care about the debt, and never did. www.benzinga.com/25/02/437748...

Two Ukrainian oppositional leaders: Petro Poroshenko and Yulia Tymoshenko (both hate Zelensky and hate each other) have publicly supported Zelensky, said his term prolongation is legit until the end of the war, and said elections are impossible now. Listen to Ukrainian opposition.

Planes are crashing because Trump and Musk wanted to cut their own taxes even more. Say it over and over and over again until it sinks into people's brains and they correctly associate every crash with two billionaires who never fly commercial.

This is why you fight these cowards. The moment you stand up to them, they crumble. Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights. He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

Just got a tip from a guy at the FAA. You'll never believe who is still getting new government contracts while all the contracts at the Department of Education and USAID and other agencies are being nuked from orbit.

This is what I have to imagine is a relatively rare occurrence of Grassley receiving a letter from someone older than he is.

Like most tech-bro schemes, DOGE is just a rip-off of something older and better: The US Government Accountability Office. But while DOGE is a front for a posting-obsessed billionaire to do heart surgery with a chainsaw, the GAO is a 100+-year-old agency that actually does what DOGE pretends to do.

We have two very different assessments of what's going on here: 1-The official story, from Treasury, that there's nothing to see here, it's just an "operational efficiency assessment" 2-The story from the IT professionals in the government, that this is a code rewrite in progress. I believe #2.

🚨 My colleagues and I were just denied entry to USAID HQ on the orders of President Trump and Elon Musk. Shutting down USAID is unlawful, inhumane, and a gift to adversaries like Russia and China. I will not stop fighting to protect American national security interests.

Yes. While there are absolutely things Democrats can and must do to slow, obstruct, etc, GOP hold both House and Senate majorities, severely limiting our options. Johnson and Thune are handing over the own keys and relinquishing their own power. Even for the cynics this should be a shock.

1/ OK, Democratic members of Congress in the US Senate. It’s time for some tough love. I am aware your pollsters and consultants tell you things like “the American people want us to work together” and “ focus on prescription drug prices in the economy.”

Lutheran Social Services is one of the largest employers in South Dakota, operating senior living facilities across the state. Republicans are shutting it down Perhaps more concerning is Mike Flynn, known foreign asset, having access to this data?

I hope people see how truly alarming this is: 1. Musk's team, who may not even be US govt employees yet, have complete access to OPM's databases of PII on federal employees and have locked out career employees 2. Musk's people trying to do same with THE US TREASURY MASTER PAYMENT SYSTEM 🚨

This tweet sent out 14 hours BEFORE the crash needs to be immortalized in stone. Or on a plaque in every ATC tower. Or on a disclaimer before every Mayday: Air Disaster episode. Or on an Amber Alert type system to every American. Or on a stamp. Or maybe currency. Something.

So @schumer.senate.gov, @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social, @democrats.org etc, here you go. He's blaming it on you, on your base. You can tsk-tsk with "wait for the investigation" OR you can turn it around and with one voice heap ALL the blame on Trump and Musk, relentlessly. The latter is how you win.
