…because of the effectiveness of right wing propaganda & the failure of average Americans to apply even a hint of critical thinking to their voting decisions is why we are here. And not enough people are doing anything about it, is because too many are not paying attention! WTFU people!🤬 #ProudBlue

Still baffling to me how people asking for basic human rights and civil liberties are painted as far left. They’re normal asks and enjoyed in many other countries. The rhetoric is just designed to stop the conversation; it’s not a serious discussion.

Since when does a six-time bankrupt president get to play CEO of private American companies? This is the U.S., not some dictatorship cosplay. You want to run a country like North Korea or Russia? Move. I’ll have more next week on Substack. Buckle up. mitchthelawyer.substack.com

This is outrageous

76% of Trump’s budget goes to the military and police. He’s gutting social safety nets while giving over $1T to the Pentagon — which hasn’t passed an audit in 6 years. He never cared about fraud and waste. He cares about having a militarized oligarchy.

Democrats have been saying it for months And here it is-in black and white for all to see Republicans want to cut $715 billion from Medicaid Ripping away insurance from 13.7 million Americans Just to give billionaires like Elon Musk another tax break Don't Mess With Medicaid

It’s the middle of May. Let’s talk global warming. My city, San Antonio, TX, projected temp for this W/Th/F is 104°F breaking all records by +6° Climate change is real. #Voices4Victory #DemVoice1

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but 30% is still a high tariff…and it’s still going to drive prices up. But sure, businesses can “plan” for 90 days until the next erratic change. Awesome.

(NYT) - As few as three air traffic controllers were scheduled to work on Monday evening at the facility guiding planes to and from Newark Liberty International Airport, the Federal Aviation Administration said, far fewer than the target of 14 controllers .. #EWR www.nytimes.com/2025/05/12/b...

Here's a challenge: post the New York Times' own ethics rules and see how it aligns with this statement.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the health secretary, shared photos of himself and his grandchildren frolicking in waters filled with sewer overflow. Swimming in sewage. Spewing garbage. Sowing cynicism. That’s RFK Jr. alright.

Fired up. Ready to go! #Obama

The president has covered the Oval Office in gold, is planning a massive military parade for his birthday, and is now accepting $400,000,000 luxury planes from foreign powers as personal presents. What the fuck are we doing here?

Jeffries: China punked the administration and the administration backed down. That’s no surprise because we’ve seen that happen over and over and over again.

Cutting Medicaid and/or Medicare will devastate this country. It will bulldoze healthcare and the consequences will be damning to EVERY person with healthcare vulnerabilities. 🚨We need leadership that will get uncomfortable. This is comfortable. www.msnbc.com/msnbc/watch/...

Linda McMahon, Secretary of Education, sent Harvard a letter. They graded it. Bwahahaha.

Trump's nominee for head of Customs and Border Protection is accused of covering up the death of Anastasio Hernández Rojas, a Mexican father who was brutally and fatally beaten by Border Patrol agents. Will he face any consequences?

The Lincoln Project just dropped another hammer on the GOP’s fascist flank—and they’re right. If you trample the Constitution, shred due process, and treat humans like pawns, you’re the *lawless* one. Actions have consequences. The law *is* the law. @lincolnproject.us

It’s wrong to call people slurs. There is no debate. This is not a controversial opinion.

Enjoy that face.

Weather and climate research funds are being “chainsawed” from NOAA's budget. Last I checked, Louisiana & Florida, which are maximally susceptible to Hurricanes, voted Red in the last General Election. Wondering if residents there knew in advance this would happen.

Newly leaked video shows Decatur officers dragging John “LJ” Scott Jr.’s limp body by his feet into a jail cell. Now he's dead. Decatur Police Chief originally said Scott was placed in a cell after some difficulty, due to his size and "passive resistance.”

Americans put in the Oval Office a man who does not give a damn about the Constitution or the rule of law, but only about consolidating power & wealth for himself & his cronies. Every day we can see the fateful consequences of this disaster--and We the People must decide how long we'll tolerate it.

The list could go on and on….and on. But here are 5 diabolical, disastrous, deplorable, detrimental dumb decisions by Don.

Dear god let this man cook.

A reminder of what the United States of America has embraced, and Canada has rejected. #OhCanada

This video is EXACTLY why we endorsed @bradlander.bsky.social for Mayor!

I love you my Canadian brothers and sisters. Thank you for showing up. You give us decent Americans hope.

My takeaway from this: He is so fucked.

Rep. Jasmine Crockett—is the Vice Ranking Member of the Oversight Committee and she is next in line, y’all. 🔥 Let’s rally behind her because she’s the fierce fighter we need. @repjasmine.bsky.social

Last week, I toured Elderberry Wisdom Farm in #Salem, which helps Indigenous youth learn about their traditions through agriculture. I recently fought to restore funding for the farm to continue carrying out its important mission. Read more 👇
