The administration is a perfect storm of dumb people who enjoy inflicting pain and are addicted to psychotic cruelty and quadrupling down. It ends in total ruin if you don't impeach him.

Cory Booker showed us what courage looks like by standing up and speaking out in one’s town square. He showed us how it can help shape reality. He demonstrated that it can inspire others and thus can make a real difference in the fight for democracy. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/the-...

The Pentagon published the warning about using Signal due to compromised security Despite this the Cabinet members use it. They lied about it. This strike was approved by Stephen Miller who said he believed the President approved. The President claimed no knowledge. Impeach him now. He is a danger

I don’t know if y’all realize this, but Toupee Fiasco is a figure head. He’s not in charge. The Project 2025 crew, Heritage Trust, and Apartheid Clyde are in charge. They let him sign the EOs, do interviews, and golf because that’s all he cares about. Oh, and not being in jail.

If your excuse as an elected official, here in 2025, for not doing something that is in the interest of Dems who elected you is that Republicans might weaponize it, you are not living in 2025. They are going to weaponize anything you do, either way. They have demonstrated this over and over.

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

I will say again: The destruction of the CFPB—an agency that has brought in $20 billion over a little more than a decade despite having an annual budget that's less than what DOD has spent so far today—is the clearest sign none of this has anything to do with saving taxpayers money.

Van Hollen: "He just said that it will be US policy to forcibly displace 2 million Palestinians from the Gaza Strip. That is ethnic cleansing by another name. He said the US would then own the Gaza Strip and we would develop it and other countries would take these Palestinians."

We could have had Kamala Harris. Instead, we have the most immature, petulant, stupid, needy, incompetent dipshit to ever enter American politics. What a tragically stupid country we are.

Elon Musk is NOT a legitimate government official -- he was not approved by Congress, and he has ZERO legal authority. He cannot shut down agencies. He cannot access Social Security numbers and payment info for millions of Americans. Take him to court and SHUT HIM DOWN.

"No one ever thought this would happen" is dishonest and journalists not pointing that out are doing you all a disservice. Many people said word for word this would happen. You just didn't respect those people. And you need to be honest instead of the feigned surprise for sympathy.

Trump and Musk are tanking the American economy -- so they can create chaos, and seize more control. THEY will be the only winners. WE will be the ones paying more, suffering more, and losing our money, our jobs, and our freedoms.

Do you know why a president would do all the most evil and heinous shit via Executive Order? Because his party can't easily make it law. And if they can't make it law, they can't make it last. Don't let anyone make you feel like this is The End. Do not let them demoralize you. Live to see them die.
