It was always America or Trump. Mitch McConnell made his choice a long time ago. Now, his legacy will always be tied to Trump and the attempt to destroy democracy.

I don’t judge Mitch McConnell for his choice of political party. I judge him for his greed, racism, and hunger for power. I judge him for causing irreparable damage to the Supreme Court, and not voting to convict Donald Trump. So will others. So will history.

Dear third-party voters, you’ve been awfully quiet. What’s up? What’s the game plan for the next 3 years and 11 months? Asking for 75,017,626 friends who did the right thing because we wanted to avoid all of this shit!!!

The irony of the richest man in the world almost single-handedly destroying an agency designed to help the world’s poor, so that the U.S. federal budget has more room for another giant tax cut for the richest man in the world and his pals, should not be lost on anyone. [Cartoon by Mike Luckovich]

🚨BREAKING: Two attorneys with DOJ Public Integrity Section have entered appearances, and moved to dismiss the criminal indictment against Eric Adams. This stain on this once proud part of DOJ will not easily be erased.

Why does a 38-year old U.S. Attorney in SDNY, who is also a die hard conservative, have more guts and integrity than the entirety of the GOP Senate Conference combined?! Shame on the shameless sycophants and enablers there, who can’t find the spine to stand up to common MAGA bullies.

Dump Susan Collins in 2026.

Good morning and Happy Friday to everyone who agrees that a bunch of fucking 19-year old randos named "Big Balls" should not have access to our most sensitive information, and that should be a bipartisan issue. This is a national security crisis waiting to happen.

I do believe that PPP fraud and Pentagon spending really need to be audited

True.

Oh Donald, you’re not anything but their puppet. They’re laughing at you as you fumble fuck around playing golf and saying stupid shit on TV. They gave you billions of crypto money to shut you up. Pathetic.

Two years ago I warned everyone not to embrace Brad Raffensperger as some sort of hero. Now he is sucking up to MAGA. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/brad...

It’s not just that the buy-out won’t be honored; it can’t be honored. They have neither authority nor appropriations to honor the promise. “Fraud in the inducement.”

Gas prices are up, eggs are unaffordable, an evil billionaire just stole everyone’s personal data, airplanes are falling out of the sky, and Canada now hates us. I guess making a recently convicted felon the President of the United States wasn’t the best idea after all

Daily Dot: “Aaron Gleason, anti-🏳️‍🌈 writer who accused queer people of ‘grooming’, arrested & charged for molesting a child under 12… has written for Daily Wire, The Federalist…” (DW deleted his page, wayback machine still has it) www.dailydot.com/debug/aaron-...

On the day after the election, I made a promise to the people of Illinois: when it comes to threats to our freedom, health, or security, if you come for my people, you come through me.

Donald trump refused to show his tax returns. Now Elon and his rando tech dweebs have our Social Security info, and folks are just going along with it? This is fucking insanity.

This hits GenX hard

When you solve for the wrong problem, not only do you not get the solution, you can cause harm. The President wasted water that was being saved for farmers for a PR stunt. This was harmful, ludicrous, and solved nothing.

FYI:

Nobody.

Rand Paul can fuck off. He can take Susan Collins and a shit ton of others with him.

Crockett: "If feels as if y'all have just decided that y'all are gonna castrate your constitutional duty & hand it over to someone who was unelected. It doesn't matter how many cheerleaders he had on the field campaigning for him. That doesn't mean he gets to go in and sit atop any of our agencies"

Donald Trump is now talking about the United States “OWNING” Gaza. Owning it. What the actual fuck.

The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.

If you’ve taken the oath to serve, today would be a good day to honor it.

Canada is giving Donald Trump something Justin Trudeau already promised in December under Biden in exchange for Donald pausing his disastrous tariffs after saying they're great for the economy? Donald is weak.

This is a big story the media has ignored.

REP. RASKIN: “We don’t have a 4th branch of government called Elon Musk.” 🇺🇸

I can think of at least eight federal laws that have been broken by Musk and his goons over the last few days, and at least two provisions of the U.S. Constitution. They must be stopped. Some thoughts: robertreich.substack.com/p/how-the-mu...

Musk needs to face prison time for illegally accessing everyone’s social security numbers. Call your district attorneys and reps, demand action be taken.

Just two weeks ago, everyone was screeching about China stealing all of our data through TikTok, but now Elon steals it and the MAGA crisis actors are OK with it? That's some fucking bullshit.

Let me emphasize: Elon Musk has not been confirmed by Congress. His “department” was never actually enacted. No one other than Trump has given him any authority. Democrats and any Republicans with a spine need to step in and stop this madness. Call your rep now (202) 224-3121

This guy should have no role in running our government. We didn’t elect him. He’s not a gov’t employee who is accountable. He hasn’t taken an oath to uphold the constitution or work on behalf of the American people. He’s in it for himself not for us.

Mike Johnson and the Republicans in the House have has pulled their little panties down for Elon Musk to commit proxy rape for his partners in China Russia and Iran. Every one of them, an Oath Breaking eunuch.

Knowing the names of the an unelected oligarch’s underlings who are destroying the government from within is a crime now, apparently.

It would be nice if our elected officials weren't a bunch of fucking pussies.

Here's a clip from 2009, when President Obama spoke about the Continental Airlines crash -- the LAST time we had an airline crash with fatalities in America. He didn't blame Bush. He didn't blame Reagan. He just consoled America. A REAL Commander in Chief.

Serious question for Republicans: has Donald Trump ever taken responsibility for anything bad that's ever happened while he was in charge? Has he ever shouldered the blame for anything that's gone wrong?

Pete Buttigieg isn’t taking Trump’s shit today.
