that’s right

Raskin: This is a gangster state. This is not basically a legitimate government that is sometimes doing corrupt things. This is an essentially corrupt enterprise. It's like watching The Sopranos. Every day, they get up and they try to figure out how to plunder and pillage the people

Is it just the ones who are inside someone’s womb? Asking for a friend. FFS.

This is deplorable. This is what people voted for.

Musk should be asked about this in every interview he does now and forever. To ignore it is a dereliction of duty. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/o...

These men were building us homes. The violence is being committed by ICE — masked men, no ID, no warrants. Don’t believe the rhetoric being pushed by violent criminals about ‘violent criminals’ cause it’s all BS. Call your Reps and demand they hold hearings, sanctioned or not. This needs to stop.

Christian Nationalists pretend that the United States was founded as a Christian nation, but the Constitution never mentions Jesus or Christianity. Not even once. Instead, it bans government promotion of *any* religion. Don't be fooled by their lying propaganda.

Every year on Memorial Day, I share this video of French caretakers who take sand from Omaha Beach in Normandy, and scrub them into the letters to give them the gold coloring. They do this for all 9,386 US soldiers who died. France also gave us this land as American soil.

America First = America Alone Unprecedented: the U.S. is the only country out of 184 to see a drop in international tourism this year. Everyone else is rebounding. We’re projected to lose $12.5 billion in spending—jobs, small businesses, entire communities will feel this.

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem is under scrutiny for a $50M Gulfstream jet request, funded by the Coast Guard's budget. It's a misuse of taxpayer money and prioritizes luxury over essential services.#AdminOfGrift

This has always been the GOP's strategy: 1) Cut taxes for the wealthy & corporations by claiming they'll pay for themselves. 2) Explode the deficit. 3) Demand cuts to vital programs that help millions. 4) Repeat. They're trying to get away with it again.

This is so depressing www.nytimes.com/2025/05/22/u...

Attacks on voting rights, the legal profession & the judicial branch of government at all levels right up to the Supreme Court of the United States are undermining democracy. Justice Sotomayor’s stirring message to lawyers prevails: Stand Up, Fight and Win! @lwvus.bsky.social @lwvva.bsky.social

Never heard of this. What a great help for those with Alzheimer's or Dementia. Please share. Thank you.

Is that a little item the news media forgot about mentioning…. Wow!

This isn't Black history. This is real history.

💯

So let’s hold him accountable, fight!💪💪💪🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

Trump migrant detentions at Guantanamo Bay cost $100,000 per person daily, U.S. Senator Gary Peters said during a hearing. The White House has requested a huge increase in funding for immigration enforcement as it tries to achieve Trump's goal of mass deportations. www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...

FROM THE MASTER INVESTOR HIMSELF…👇 Thoughts?! 🤔

4 new words added to the script. I want my lawyer. Every day is shut the fuck up Friday

This is a full out attack upon the working poor. Shameful. Wrong. Bad for our country.

Reminder: it is “illegal” for ICE or CBP to enter your dwelling without a warrant SIGNED BY A JUDGE—but many agents will anyway, as 1) the Rule of Law is dead; 2) law enforcement routinely break the law, anyway. If this occurs, do your best to remain polite/calm. Use📱to take video if safe to do so.

RFK Jr's so dangerous with no medical training, is the guy who could, given his worm-eaten brain & conspiracy theories, re-introduce Mercurochrome which contains mercury (obviously), & can cause mercury poisoning & in large quantities, damages brain, kidneys & developing fetuses. Don't trust him!!

the President of the United States, everyone

Every time you pay more, thank Dear Leader. www.wsj.com/business/ret...

In @nytopinion.nytimes.com Three Yale professors who have written extensively on authoritarianism are leaving the U.S. “We’re like people on the Titanic saying our ship can’t sink,” Marci Shore said. “And what you know as a historian is that there is no such thing as a ship that can’t sink.”

In a world of Jake Tappers, be a Bruce Springsteen!

I've said it before and I'll say it again: Any minimally adequate form of government must include a way to remove a chief executive for flagrant misconduct. Impeachment is the US's main way to do that, but it's entirely broken. That, all on its own, makes the present Constitution fatally flawed.

NASHVILLE mayor Freddie O’Connell: “By ICE’s own admission, a large % of people caught up in this sweep had no criminal record.” As @GovBillLee @MarshaBlackburn claim this is about violent criminals, DHS’ own release shows it’s just 5 of 196 (2%) www.wsmv.com/2025/05/14/n...

AOC: The math is not adding up. Their claim is that one million undocumented people are on Medicaid. So why are they trying to cut 13.7 million Americans off their healthcare?
