The man literally got away with a failed coup and then the voters (with a big help from Biden, SCOTUS, and the media) let him walk back in. Why on earth would you think he's gonna just leave? I swear to God people are just unwilling to open their eyes because they're scared shitless

Black people are giving it these Confederates raw and uncut. This is how it’s gonna be now. You wonder what we’re thinking? It’s this. I believe this is activist Gary Chambers again in Louisiana.

We could have universal healthcare and a balanced budget if we just cut out Trump, the Trump family, Trump's wars and his bogus businesses.

just to be clear, everyone, when 8 pm EDT comes and goes, regardless of what does or does not happen, the president still threatened genocide and war crimes and we should still impeach, arrest, and try him

I'm glad that many Democrats are changing their tune on immigration, but in this house, we never forget who voted for the Laken Riley Act and who voted for Biden's shameful border militarization bill.

Bad, whiny messaging that is demoralizing to read. If I don’t see bold-face phrases like “annihilate funding” and “criminal prosecutions” I want new Dem representatives

JK Rowling et al. don't care about women's safety or fair sports or anything, they want to eliminate trans people from public life, and that's why you cannot give an inch to evil freaks like her.

Trump's Budget Chief Is About To Go Rogue On Massive Spending Cuts
Russ Vought said to expect more massive spending cuts because Trump is "not cowing to a legislative branch’s understanding of its own authorities and powers."

Eric Adams, a gentile, going after Brad Lander, a Jew, for not investing in Israel because Adams is running on the End Antisemitism party line to try to salvage his own corrupt legacy and hold onto power is really giving the game away in a way that I hope people notice

Apparently the Trump admin thinks “court order” is just a suggestion. Judges aren’t having it — and neither should the public. 📣 Our system only works if power can be checked. #ContemptOfCourt #DemocracyUnderThreat
