🔥 SEN. @ossoff.senate.gov: “This war in Iran is the worst foreign policy blunder since Iraq. And just like the Iraq war, it’s a war built on lies. The ‘America first’ President who said he would end foreign wars, now he says all we can afford is war.”

Not that anyone needs a reminder but this man has the nuclear codes. He's posting unhinged AI slop and far too many people just shrug it off. Trump is unwell, and he is a danger to us all.

What is happening in Louisiana right now is both a redistricting power grab and a dry run for authoritarian election subversion this Fall. The governor has declared a state of emergency to suspend the congressional elections because he doesn't like the current map.

Not a good look: All 6 conservative justices attended Trump’s white-tie state dinner
That the court’s conservatives showed up to the dinner — despite insisting on their independence — has some court watchers concerned.

Trump is touting the no tax on tips provision in his budget bill. But many tipped workers won't benefit because their earnings are so low. And the provision expires in 2028. The estate tax cuts that primarily benefit the rich? Those were made permanent. Funny how that works.

If an official commits an impeachable offense and nobody acts to impeach, it is no longer an impeachable offense. People who oppose impeachment as “pointless” because it seems unlikely to result in removal do not understand this very simple point and seem unwilling to even try to understand it.

Instead of spending $50 billion to bankroll Trump’s criminal war on Iran, we could: -Extend ACA subsidies for one year -Restore SNAP benefits for 2.4 million people -And ensure Medicaid coverage for nearly 2 million people It’s not about what we can afford. It’s about priorities.

If Stephen Miller is still in the White House, that means the white nationalist gameplan is still all systems GO. What we're witnessing is just window dressing and distractions. Tom Homan is just as bad as Bovino, but less openly Nazi. Keep your eyes wide open.

Republican politicians who think that Minneapolis is a political problem are missing the point. It is a moral problem. But they are in so deep that they cannot see just how morally bankrupt they have become. They do not understand that we are as revulsed by their complicity as by Trump's cruelty.

So the “closed” daycares…were closed during the last week of the year, during which most daycares are closed. And the doors were “locked,” which they are at every daycare. And they wouldn’t let in a “journalist” with a camera…which they wouldn’t do at any daycare. Got it.
