The agencies responsible for protecting you in extreme weather events were cut under Trump. In times of crisis, Trump will gladly leave you and your family at risk.

There are actually quite a few undocumented Russians in the US. Anyone have any videos of ICE forcefully deporting them? Or just the brown people?

There really should be a moratorium on all “Republican holdout” stories from this point forward. Write about the Tooth Fairy instead so we can learn the latest on something more plausible.

If you need a mask to enforce the law, you don’t deserve a badge. Federal agents are snatching people off the streets—faces covered, names hidden. This isn’t safety. It’s secrecy. It’s not America. adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/why-are-fe...

Our neighbor to the North is lead by a brilliant economist, who is tough, but fair and decent. Our neighbor to the South is lead by a brilliant engineer, who is tough, but fair and decent. We are run by a total ignoramus who is flawed in every way a human being can be & is destroying our country.

I cannot overstate the importance of reading books, particularly novels by respected authors, for critical thinking skills and reading comprehension. If the big gun novelists don't interest you, start small and work your way up. Or read whatever interests you. Just read. Or listen. It's all books.

Bold predictions: 1. Consumer spending is goosed temporarily by panic-buying and preventative stocking up. The orange baboon says "it's working already" 2. Fox News & the GOP say we told you so 3. The bubble bursts & we start talking about renaming Lake Ontario and New Mexico

The result in WI delights me. But let’s not get it twisted, the lesson the GOP learned last night was not stop fucking with the rule of law, it was stop having elections. The MAGA movement and project 2025 are the highest, best and last effort of a group of terrified white men who cannot

Feelings of powerlessness, defeatism, the inevitability of the fascist merging of government and the wealthiest of the private sector we felt in recent months are being replaced with action. There are things we can do to #resist, and they are working. Let's keep it up.

Striking thing about Trump and Vance with Zelensky is how weak they look. On top of the awfulness of rewarding aggression, screwing allies, undermining US interests, and blatantly lying about recent events, these men that obsess over the performance of toughness look like whiny scared weaklings.

I want you to meditate on the fact that Garland refused to investigate or hold accountable the GOP members of Congress who clearly participated in the 1/6 crimes because of “optics,” While Tom Holman is demanding that DOJ investigates AOC because of his personal hatred of her politics.

I don't think its bad that when I see an old white guy in a red hat coming towards me on the street I hope he trips or steps in dog crap. Might be a little weird though that when I get closer, and see its just a red hat, for a sports team or golf club or something, I want to hug the guy.

Don't know the reasons for Selena's deletion but clearly the emotion in the original post was genuine. Would guess the automated Right Wing Hate Machine was too much. Wish she'd left it up, if only to give her fans who voted Trump something to think about. We need more reminders of consequences.

One Week of Trump 2 down (mostly, though anything can still happen today, a Sunday - Evangelicals might demand a human sacrifice or something). 208 Weeks till Jan. 20, 2029. Not that I'm counting, or assuming he won't still be in office then.

The Trump story has always been a crime story first. His pardoning of convicted J6 thugs is just the next step in his effort to destroy the rule of law and increase the climate of violence and intimidation.
