“The President’s desires cannot be ignored”

💯 #NoWarButClassWar I'm hungry.

Some Democratic member of Congress should propose a bill saying that a POTUS may golf at government expense no more than, say, once every 14 days, and must reimburse the Treasury for anything beyond that.

I've seen a few "actually, a lot of dems are really good at the internet, they just aren't getting attention" please give me non-AOC, non-Bernie examples so that I can educate myself. I will say though, being good at the internet MEANS GETTING ATTENTION.

Good lord. WE WANT DISRUPTIONS.

Don’t tell me democracy is at risk and a constitutional crisis is unfolding and the best you got is a modified ping pong paddle.

Former 🇺🇸 ambassador to Russia 👇🏽

CNN is reporting that fact-checker, Daniel Dale is being rushed to the hospital.

Congressman Al Green’s method of protest is compelling without a doubt…but these signs I don’t think are effective. They look polite and soft. If you’re going to hold up a sign, make it big and bold — or do what Al Green did. People have been saying it looks like they’re at an auction.

Fun Fact: Democrats are wearing pink tonight as a symbolic protest against people who want them to do something meaningful

An important statement from the American Bar Association. www.americanbar.org/news/abanews...

Each and every person who normalized the idea that this is a "public square" and therefore all people have an open invitation to be an ass in the replies of strangers clearly never learned how to respect anyone but themselves.

The rumors are true: The proposed SAVE Act, now considered a priority for Republicans in the House, will make it harder, if not practically impossible, for millions of women to vote.

NEW: Senator Marshall (R-KS) RUNS AWAY, fleeing his own town hall after being asked about DOGE firing Veterans. MAKE HIM GO VIRAL.

A century later, it's Germany sounding the alarm about a dark malevolence spreading across the world. The harbinger of darkness this time...is us. www.theguardian.com/world/live/2...

At some point it will be them or us. It's our time. ✊

And of course when wealth increases for the 1% "the economy" is booming! Never mind people living in tents and shanty towns. Neoliberalism considers homelessness and poverty a bonus. As Kevin O'Leary stated, it's wonderful and motivates people to succeed!

Trump's a puppet and everyone knows it except for him.

I am really frustrated that the press is discussing the destruction of USAID as something that has happened rather than an illegal action that will likely be undone in two weeks when courts tell the world that it was illegal.

Every nominee hearing in the Senate: The Senate: Will you promise not to do cruel, crazy and illegal shit to appease the dictator in the White House? Nominee: Maybe. Not sure. Probably not. The Senate: Good enough.

Elon Musk is a terrible president.

I don’t know if this is the plan. But if it is, let me rain on that parade. Elon will never allow Democrats to win the mid-terms. If the plan is not to get him out of our govt systems now, it’s a wrap.

I haven’t lived through the collapse of a civilisation before I study history so I have read the guidebooks, but they don’t quite capture the experience of being there

If you wanted no leaks you should have gone into Settings -> Security -> Configure privacy & security -> Privacy options -> Other -> Configure -> Media interface and clicked “Disallow.” The Leak setting is on by default but we understand your privacy is important so we’ve made it easy to opt out

I've assembled a team of the most horrible perverts and criminals you've ever seen and we're going to fix this country

I live in New York City in the year 2025. The president is a convicted felon. The mayor of NYC is an indicted felon. The secretary of defense is a Fox News host. The secretary of transportation is a Fox News host. The very worst people in America are in charge of America.

Every disaster movie starts with scientists being ignored. Good thing we’re not doing that.

The HHS nominee is a dangerous science-denying conspiracy nut. The FBI nominee pleaded the 5th to his involvement in criminal conspiracies and has fund raised for violent insurrectionists. The DNI nominee is a Russian asset. ...and here we are, doubtful if anything can be done to stop them.

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent. Opportunities are everywhere. Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

If you wanted to know how an autocracy would start in America, it begins by releasing violent thugs from prison who beat up police defending Congress, illegally firing every Inspector General, and seizing billions appropriated by Congress for people with no authority to do so.

If it weren’t for social media I would have no idea that so many of my friends and acquaintances are complete and total fuckwits.

Today’s show was my last at CNN. My closing message: It’s never a good time to bow down to a tyrant… don’t give in to the lies. Don’t give in to fear. Hold on to the truth… and hope.

Neoliberal utopia.

Let Denmark cook.

Here is irony: trump supporters wave the "Don't Tread on Me" flag, but embrace Trump's executive orders, similar to a king's decrees, which tread on the same freedoms the Gadsden Flag symbolizes. Make up your damn minds: You want freedom or fascism?

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.

How can anyone in their right mind ignore this letter from Caroline Kennedy about her cousin, RFK Jr.?
