Trump and Musk are a living monument to the worst excesses of human nature—an exhausting blend of arrogance, ignorance, greed, selfishness, narcissism, and the kind of misplaced confidence that has already fueled a thousand horrible decisions that will ultimately hurt millions of everyday Americans.

I will use every tool at my disposal to protect this country from Trump. I will litigate to defend voting rights until there are no cases left to bring. I will speak out against authoritarianism until my last breath. I will not back down. I will not bow or scrape. I will never obey.

In future generations, when your children and grandchildren look back on this moment, they are not going to ask about the price of eggs. They are going to ask you what you did. Not what you felt. Not what you paid. But what you did. And I want to be able to say I did everything I possibly could.

So if you criticize Elon Musk, Trump’s DOJ will send you this letter. Members of Congress must have the right to forcefully oppose the Trump Administration. I will not be silenced.

I don't think the Dems can stop the firings. But why aren't they proposing legislation that assures those that took the buyout get paid , and that all that are fired, get at least a year severance and health benefits? And any one with a health condition is covered the entire time they are sick?

Republicans back young man with Trump surname even though he's never said a word about anything in public. So don't tell me this isn't just a mindless cult blindly associated with the name Trump.

Don’t worry, General, we will form an alliance with Russia. A tremendous alliance, one like no one has ever seen. We will defeat all the woke countries, and people will say to Trump, in tears, “Sir, you are the greatest allier in the history of the world!”

@meidastouch.com I’m trying to understand why we always capitulate to the other side. Now all the conversations are about how government doesn’t work and Trump is right and it’s our fault. Didn’t we just save the country from a pandemic? Didn’t we stop polio and give more people a seat at the table

Trump wants Congress to pass the House GOP's version of a budget reconciliation bill that includes massive cuts to Medicaid and SNAP to pay for tax cuts for the rich. The House is on recess, so now would be a great time to call your rep and share your thoughts. (202) 224-3121

For me, the Netflix movie DON'T LOOK UP is the most important film in recent memory. Its dark satire evokes the terrifying absurdity of Dr. Strangelove, Network, and Idiocracy. Scathing, funny, and poignant.

Why organize? We may need to get families out of the country. We may have a civil war. We need to have active communications to help advise and notify in real time. This won't be easy, but we need to plan for every scenario. Our lives may be at stake. Best scenario, we never need it More to come.

President Zelenskyy has been one of the greatest leaders of our time, guiding Ukraine through the darkest period of its recent history, rising up to Russia’s unwarranted aggression, being an inspiration to the Ukrainian people and ensuring that Ukraine’s voice is heard on the world stage.

whether or not you’re a fan of zelensky, the usa trying to force an election in a foreign democracy during wartime–when it can’t be held safely and securely–against most ukrainians’ wishes (including much of zelensky’s opposition) and in violation of the ukrainian constitution is unacceptable.

I was just an Education Department guy under Reagan and the most junior WH senior staffer under G.H.W. Bush, so what do I know? But if I were an ex-president, and the current president were executing the most disastrous turn in American foreign policy in 80 years, I think I might say something?
