Electing him once was bad enough but might have been chalked up to a bizarre mistake. Having re-elected him, nobody can assume any sort of stability or consistency necessary for partnership from the US ever again. Credibility is destroyed and rightfully so.

I’m glad we finally know the answer to ‘would you rather have planes regularly falling out of the sky or see a person of color employed?’. Slightly less glad about what the answer is.

Okay, glad to hear it - but speaking as one of your constituents: The dog is STILL. PLAYING. BASKETBALL while y'all are working out whether it's technically allowed to or not 🤷‍♂️

We have leaders on our side debating the precise velocity at which we should be throwing trans people under the bus because of polls; meanwhile every day you get a headline like 'Trump is destroying the National Cancer Institute.' Just full steam ahead on the Kicking Puppies Agenda.

This is just sheer brazen criminality by DOJ. Adams gets federal corruption charges dropped not because there isn’t overwhelming evidence, but because he agrees to help Homan round up migrants. And Homan says the charges will be refiled if Adams doesn’t “come through.”

People used to make so much fun of me when I pointed out that the dirtbag "left" had constructed a neat pipeline to the far right, because WHY would they do that? And the simple answer has always been, money. Just look at the Red Scare hosts becoming besties with Peter Thiel.

Who are you rooting for to win the Super Bowl? The Kansas City Chiefs or the Philadelphia Eagles? I am supporting Jill Stein to become Super Bowl champion. She is not part of the NFL UNIPARTY, and if she can get 5% of rushing yards the green party will get increased funding in the 2028 NFL playoffs

Republicans ran into the room to SHEILD Elon Musk from having to come and speak to Congress. They want their billionaire takeover done behind closed doors. The people deserve transparency. No one elected Elon Musk.

So are there still people who think Bernie was playing 5d chess wanting to partner with Elon on DOGE, or do we all live together on Planet Earth now

Weird how no one has come up with a catch nickname for Trump like “Genocide Joe.” I guess it’s not cool now.

A Republican congressman just introduced a bill to abolish OSHA and get rid of federal safety protections for workers. Remind me— wasn’t it Republicans who claimed that they were the party of the working class?

Here's a realistic plan. Until Musk is banned by the federal government: 1. Talking filibuster (the real kind) 2. Block every nominee for everything 3. No budget talks at all 4. Stunt pressers daily Better than staff tweets. I like Chuck but this is a national emergency. Lie across the tracks.

You are MEMBERS OF CONGRESS. If they threaten you with arrest for trying to access a site you are lawfully entitled to access, YOU MAKE THEM FUCKING ARREST YOU. YOU MAKE THEM SLAP THE CUFFS ON A CONGRESSMAN LIVE ON TV, YOU MAKE THEM FUCKING DO IT.

So let me get this straight: Trump is trying to fire 5000 FBI agents while Musk's team of nine 20-something dorks has seized access to OMB and the Treasury. Um, Democrats, grab 100 of those about to be fired FBI agents and arrest those dorks! Get them out of there! They can't even fight!

The men carrying out Musk's coup are Akash Bobba, Edward Coristine, Luke Farritor, Gautier Cole Killian, Gavin Kliger, and Ethan Shaotran. Make them famous. And, eventually, when possible, arrest them and charge them with multiple felonies. www.wired.com/story/elon-m...

We all like to yell at the Democrats, but it’s really Speaker Mike Johnson and Senate Majority Leader John Thune who are letting Elon Musk and his faceless goon squad make a mockery of their power as leaders of a coequal branch without uttering a peep or lifting a finger.

Democrat Lawmakers… Start going into the offices of EVERY GOVERNMENT AGENCY… DEMAND TO MEET WITH ANY REPRESENTATIVES FROM DOGE IN THOSE OFFICES. DEMAND THEY IDENTIFY THEMSELVES. PUBLISH THEIR NAMES. IF THEY REFUSE TO IDENTIFY THEMSELVES, POST THEIR PICTURE AND WE’LL IDENTIFY THEM.

they are stealing data from the american people and depriving us of the transparency that we are entitled to by law. none of this is legal and not a single federal employee has any reason to comply.

The President is asking rhetorical questions about what federal government aircraft was doing, as if there's someone else who is supposed to have the answer. This is his responsibility. If he doesn't even know the answers, it's because he and his unqualified appointees are incompetent.

People keep saying it but Tommy Tuberville, who probably can't tie his own shoes, held up military appointees for like ten months. We are always learning that - oh, Rand Paul can just keep something from coming to the floor. I have never seen a Dem involved in any story like this.

This is grossly irresponsible reporting by the AP. What’s being offered is not a buyout. The deal is if you agree to resign in September you can continue working remotely until then. There is no buyout or severance.

There's already too few Rangers in the park. Dangerously few. Trump wants to cut $587 million from the NPS budget. (17%). This means our national parks will be even more vulnerable to poaching. Get in this fight and help us defend our parks Follow us at @altyellonatpark.org Retweet & Repeat

In 1993 a woman cut off her husband's penis after he had repeatedly beaten and r*ped her. There was subsequently a Weird Al song about this, where the husband was described as having "Got his wife so mad one night." The O.J. Simpson case + trial (for the murder of his ex-wife) were one year later.

Whenever SCOTUS makes an unconstitutional ruling, state governors should do what Joe Biden should have done: announce that the court has delegitimized itself by making such a ruling, and declare that their state will not recognize the rulings of an illegitimate court.

Pete Hegseth’s ex-sister-in-law has made a sworn statement to Senators he physically abused his wife. It’s good this came to light but we should be clear that to mainstream Republicans spousal abuse is a selling point.
