The band playing "Fortunate Son" might have been the best part of the whole parade. In case you don't know the lyrics, here they are. A perfect gift for a flawed man.

Donald Trump arrived in Canada and demanded that Russia be admitted into the G7. He falsely claimed Canada had Russia kicked out. He refused to work out a deal with allies on the Middle East crisis and he left town before President Zelensky showed up. Surprised?

Holy shit, New York! Here’s the full view. #NoKings #50501Movement

The "I'll lower costs and get us out of endless wars" candidate is now presiding over surging costs and brand new wars.

Israel is bombing Iran and we're on the verge of WWIII and none of this would be happening if Donald Trump was president

All Senator Padilla wanted was to do his job and get the questions his constituents had answered — instead, he was thrown to the ground and handcuffed. This is Donald Trump's America, where they attack our freedoms. We cannot be intimidated or scared by their abuses of power.

We're expanding reproductive rights. We're erasing medical debt. We're making going to college in-state easier than ever before. We’re investing in shovel-ready sites for new homes and businesses. And we're lifting the burdens Illinoisans face because it's the right thing to do.

Karen Bass: "The 100 National Guard soldiers that are downtown LA are guarding one federal building, so there is no need for this...it's all part of an experiment that is taking place in Los Angeles...what happens when the federal government intervenes and takes power away from a governor & mayor?"

Double.

You can't call immigrants lazy moochers looking for government handouts and then round them up at Home Depots where you know they are looking for work. You can't say immigrants don't follow the rules and then round them up in courthouses where they are following the rules. Get your lies straight.

1/7 Trump & House Republicans passed a bill so brutal they delayed the worst until after the 2026 midterms. Why? Because they know if voters feel the pain before November, they’ll lose. So they rigged the timeline & plan to lie nonstop till then. #Voices4Victory #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue

And RepubliKKKans are All On The Chump Train To Hell......

This is indeed what they are going to do if we don’t stop them.

Well payed, Harvard, well played. Harvard offers FREE American Government course.

Ha that’s right

You can’t make this up: House Republicans *snuck in a tanning bed tax break*—in the same damn bill that slashes Medicaid, shutters hospitals, and steals beds from cancer patients. No wonder they vote in the dead of night.🙄 @fernandez.house.gov

Gotta love this one! 💕

Thinking of the Biden family and praying for President Biden’s recovery as he bravely faces down another battle.

Joe Biden, you’re gonna beat this cancer. You’re a great man with a strong spirit, and you have a family that loves and supports you, not to mention tens of millions of us grateful for your steady, principled leadership.

Chris Murphy: "Why did Trump choose these 3 countries to go for his first major foreign trip? It's not because these are our most important allies or the most important countries in the world. It's because these are the 3 countries willing to pay him off ... this is the definition of corruption."

Mark Carney and Zelenskyy....Faces of Democracy GOING FORWARD.....💙💯🔥💯
