Come ON

Could someone place an order for 100 more Jasmine Crocketts for overnight delivery to the Democratic Party thx in advance

Tom Homan confirms on Fox News that he's asked the DOJ to investigate AOC

We need Pete Buttigieg as a clear messenger, more than ever.

Here is the ad the Washington Post refused to run about Elon Musk this weekend. And here is the ad the Post was happy to run by a rightwing group funded by Musk that smeared me in October. I started Democracy Docket to be fiercely independent and prodemocracy. Check it out. www.democracydocket.com

REPOST if you support our federal workforce and know how dedicated they are to their jobs. Show them you appreciate them!

We need to make #CourageIsContagious a trending hashtag and amplify these acts of integrity, bravery, and fidelity to the rule of law. Thank you, SDNY attorneys, for leading by example

Love This!

Agreed. Perhaps history has always been moved by narcissists and mental illness of a few, and then folks being too busy with everyday life to stop it. It is definitely happening now, and it is painful to be living it and trying to fight it

This is one of the more frightening things to happen yet. If journalists and public press gives in to this sort of thing, then the trend will continue and we are cooked. If they ALL do not "align" we may have a chance.

completely agree

The level of ignorance this shows is just stunning The fact that he doesn’t know what NOT to say to NOT show his ignorance is very telling These last few weeks have been sheer torture for us in tech and biz tech. The enormity of danger in what they are doing to the systems cannot be explained

The same beltway reporters who wrote stories asking if Joe Biden talked about his dead son too much don’t seem to think Trump pardoning child porn guys is all that newsworthy.

Make no mistake, Donald Trump and Elon Musk are destroying the credibility of the Department of Justice by sending its lawyers into court to make absurd legal arguments and repeated factual misrepresentations. This will not end well.

in what meaningful way can we say that the constitution is in effect when an unelected and unaccountable billionaire is wielding state power to unilaterally cancel congressional appropriations?

I can’t believe the Supreme Court said the president was above the law and now the president is acting like he’s above the law.

what in the …….?

absolutely. this has been one of the hardest facts to digest these past 9 years or so. i now feel amazed we have a civilization of any kind

This absolutely sucks, this new reality. and these death threats are NOT going away Do we (non threatening people) now no longer have any representation? Not sure what to ask of my rep in terms of rising above the threats, I am not in their shoes.

Tesla earned $2.3 billion in the United States in 2024. You'd think it paid a lot in taxes, right? Well it paid precisely $0 in federal income taxes last year. You want waste and fraud? Look at what some big corporations and the rich are getting away with.

Thank goodness - one obstacle cleared.

So, we learned in Nov that most low info voters voted republican or did not vote - and most high info voters voted democratic. Quandary - how do we encourage low info voters (representing neutrality in this sense) into true investment? I know we are all wrestling with this. It is a big hurdle

Thank you for the tip on TikTok! I found the Cook Report with the 8 at risk republican reps for 2026. Mailed and faxed them this weekend and will follow up with calls on Monday Trying to do at least one thing a day. And in-between, take care of self and family and recharge THANKS, AGAIN!

today, faxing and mailing to 8 republican at risk reps in districts that are practically purple. follow up with more monday each day, do something. keep your sanity, take care of yourself and family but do one thing each day what if all 70+ million of us blue voters did this?

so, today, mailing and faxing 8 republicans at risk in nearly purple house seats. every day, we do something, anything

WOW! @booker.senate.gov NAILED IT! "There can be no bystanders in this fight. It is time that we understand the only thing necessary for wrong to triumph is for right to do nothing, for right to be silent."

Good morning and Happy Saturday to everyone who is sick of stupid trumpers cheering every idiotic move made by trump, thinking that it ONLY hurts liberals. You stupid MAGA jackasses, what he does negatively affects AMERICA, and that includes YOUR dumb asses too. Go ahead, ring that bell.

yes! yes!

and ….. Russia is celebrating, …… and China is celebrating the United States voluntarily reducing itself to a 3rd world country

Have made calls most of the days this week! Especially those of you in republican rep districts. let’s go, go go!!

Elon Musk is the single biggest beneficiary of U.S. government contracts. Taxpayers are subsidizing the “fire hose of hate and falsehoods” that now appear on X that Musk bought for $44 billion two years ago. Do you see a pattern here? Does this make you angry?

Is Trump ever going to get the “mentally unfit” treatment from the press that Biden got?

well that seems sorted then

ESSENTIAL: DO not take "buy out." Litigation underway: www.citizensforethics.org/legal-action...

Musk destroyed Twitter as a business with his wrecking ball tactics, but turns out it was more valuable as a tool of influence than as a business, so I am sure he sees it as a huge success. Worth keeping in mind as he brings the same tactics to the US government.

What is going on? we have all read our history, or watched it on documentaries. wondered, how could they let that happen? This is how these things happen in the past. It is so surreal to watch it. Unfold in front of us.

EMERGENCY PIECE: Previous reports that Musk's DOGE programmers only have "read only" access is inaccurate. I can confirm what @wired.com first reported at 1 AM today that they have Read & WRITE access with a source in BFS referring to this as "apocalyptic" www.crisesnotes.com/day-five-of-...

if I understand American politics correctly, progressivism is something that requires 60 senate votes to work, while national conservatism doesn’t require any votes at all
