After illegally bulldozing half of the White House, Trump bans media that won’t lie for him from the other half. Every self-respecting media entity in America should boycott what’s left of the White House if he keeps violating press freedom.

I still don’t understand how anyone voted for him or how our leaders have emboldened him. Every action and word has been cruel, evil, unhinged. Can we please be done now - we have a 25th amendment for this very reason.

I like the word "fuck" and I'm all for using it when the situation calls for it, but I also like the words "impeach" and "hold accountable." And I realize we don't have the majority necessary to impeach, but do we not say words anymore because we don't have the majority? SAY WORDS.

I hope it's clear to everyone now that Trump really is going for it - he's trying to become a dictator. I don't know if he'll succeed, but he's working to install himself as an autocrat unaccountable to voters. And he's weaponizing the military against Americans who oppose him as part of that effort

Critical part of the President's new $100,000 charge for H1-B visas: The Administration can also offer a $100,000 discount to any person, company, or industry that it wants. Replacing rules with arbitrary discretion. Want visas? You know who to call and who to flatter.

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.

The markets are bad at politics. But yeah, the global economy built on the dollar is being dismantled, the US is run by a mad king who doesn't believe in paying his debts and whether the USA exists in 30 years is an open question. Of course investors are losing trust long-term Treasury bonds.

A fired HHS worker asks a senator about layoffs that are hurting services for “people with disabilities” and asks what he’ll do to help them. Once the senator is safely behind his staff in the elevator, he ignores the suffering & replies that the worker is a “clown” who “deserved” to be fired.
