I see the Trump Administration’s time in power like a long MMO dungeon. The weekdays are the pulls, stuff happening but nothing overly exciting, and then the weekends are the muthaf’n boss battles. This ‘leadership’ does all its worse work at night during the weekend. #democracy #resistance

With the firing of military leadership, Trump has made it clear he sees our military as a threat to him. He isn’t a weakening its might, he’s weakening its integrity by putting in loyalists at the top. #trump #corruptgovernment #military #wethepeoplearepissed #resistance #democracy

The Mar-a-Lago crew might not care about hurricanes in Florida. But gutting disaster recovery will hurt the same people Donald Trump promised to help.

The FDIC protects your hard earn money in the bank and helps prevent another financial crash. Trump and Musk’s move to fire these workers is dangerous. I led Senate Democrats in pushing back, and now independent investigators are on the case.

I saw a TikTok last night about how the Dust Bowl was way worse than we’ve been taught and how various government policies (killing off all bison, forcing out natives who lived on the land for thousands of years) led to the environmental collapse that created it.

The Senate just voted on a simple idea: If you make $1 BILLION in a year, you don't deserve a tax handout. Democrats voted yes. Republicans voted no. Republicans are planning huge tax cuts for the rich, but they’re not the ones who need a break — working people do.

We asked Senate Republicans: is there any millionaire or billionaire rich enough who doesn't need another tax giveaway? $10M a year? No. $100M a year? No. $500M a year? No. $1 BILLION a year? No. With Republicans in control: Billionaires win, families lose.

Walked into a Safeway this week and suddenly every shelf has flags beside products, the mid-00s pop cuts out, the intercom blares: "Look for Canadian flags on our shelves and choose products made in our backyard to show your pride" followed by the first thirty seconds of the national anthem.

A defining policy battle is about to come to a head in this country. The Republican budget will force everyone - especially Congress and the White House - to make plain whether they are prepared to harm the rest of us in order to fund tax cuts for the wealthiest.

I don’t often feel rage. That said, I’ve been getting pretty damn close, watching one of the few truly warrior like heroes in the world of leadership…Zelensky…being rat fucked by two of the biggest pieces of shit on the planet.

After that plane literally flipped upside down after smashing into the runway and 100% of people survived, I hope every person who ever said “what’s even the point of seatbelts on a plane” feels like a real doof.

I think most people are intuitively aware of this but something like the official White House account posting an “ASMR” video of shackled immigrants is not just cruel for its own sake, it’s intentional envelope-pushing to ramp up to desensitization over inhumane detention, camps, and deaths
