Cosplaying working class Rafael Cruz went to Princeton and Harvard. When he flees his constituents without power, he stays at the Ritz-Carlton. His wife, Heidi, is Managing Director at the fancy investment firm Goldman Sachs. They are not men & women with callouses on their hands. They are elites.

NEWS: A person is in custody after allegedly firing a gunshot at the home of Democratic state Sen. Meg Loughran Cappel, a state lawmaker in Illinois. There are no reported injuries.

In other countries they hold people accountable for their involvement with Epstein. In the US, we elect him President. We are so fucked.

Hell yeah!

You’ve heard a lot about these rigged maps hurting minority communities, but here’s two specific examples. The Republicans packed a Black district so that they aren’t voting and using their voting power in any other district.

Today, I walked out of the Texas Capitol alongside my Democratic peers in protest of the MAGA maps House Republicans are rushing to pass. Our Democracy is being stolen from us, and I am sounding the alarm—it’s time for our nation to wake up! 🚨 💥👊 Chip in here: secure.actblue.com/donate/tmf_2...

Gerrymandering is one of the most significant threats to free and fair elections in the United States. It’s time to end the partisan games and put people before power.

I’ve said it before but it’s worth repeating: This is the nightmare scenario Justice Stevens warned about in his blistering dissent in Citizens United v. FEC. This puts the lie to the court’s reasoning in Buckley that independent expenditures cannot create corruption or the appearance of it.

GOVERNING is negotiating with the other side when you need 60 votes and you only have 53. Refusing to negotiate when you don’t have the votes is incompetence. That is why Republicans can’t govern.

The GOP is an opposition party, not a governing party. They. Cannot. Govern.

Brian Tyler Cohen@briantylercohen.bsky.social

Remember when Senator Banks attacked a president who wasn’t engaged in litigation against almost half a dozen press outlets and stayed silent against one who was?

What a dipshit. It affects world peace which is in our best interest. He’s just too stupid to understand how politics works. Ugh! Who voted for this loser, really??

Trump on Ukraine: "I want them to give us something for all of the money that we put up and I'm gonna try and get the war settled and I'm try and get all that death ended. We're asking for rare earth and oil, anything we can get. But we feel so stupid. It affects Europe. It doesn't really affect us"

READ Danielle Sassoon's letter to AG Pam Bondi, via @nytimes.com: "Rather than be rewarded, Adams's advocacy should be called out for what it is: an improper offer of immigration enforcement assistance in exchange for a dismissal of his case." static01.nyt.com/newsgraphics...

The problem with the GOP is that they can’t govern. They are only good as an opposition party. Senate GOP leadership will focus on judges and Trump will focus on executive orders and regulatory actions, but as a party they can’t pass meaningful legislation.

This is exactly the type of independent reporting we need. Legacy media will talk about how “important” his executive orders are without calling them out for what they are. A disaster!

He doesn’t want to start his presidency defending the crowd size at his inauguration. It’ll make him look weak - which is what weak people do to protect themselves.

2009 Obama 28°F 1977 Carter 28°F 1961 Kennedy 22°F It’s not about the cold… it’s about the small crowd size.

Exactly. Wish people would realize this pattern. So frustrating.

Jon Cooper@joncooper-us.bsky.social

I wonder how long it will take Trump to destroy the U.S. economy after President Biden fixed it following Trump’s initial destruction?

Exactly why I’m here on this platform! We believe in facts, they just make shit up!

I see everyone on Twitter overnight has become an expert on fire hydrants and the history of California water management practices. 🤷🏽‍♂️

WE WON'T BACK DOWN IN 2025! We’re so proud of the work we did in 2024, working for some of the best candidates and progressive causes of the cycle. We processed over $1 billion in contributions across more than 300 clients. We, here at MBA Consulting Group, are right by your side.

HNY! Rest, rest some more and buckle up! 2025 is going to be the first of several years of fighting for our Democracy, like we have never had to before. We have a great coalition, and we are on the right side of history. We will be judged by our actions. Let’s go win this war on our Democracy!!!

The bigger plan IMO is that he’s helping position Putin to invade other European countries. This is not OK.

The Washington Post@washingtonpost.com

Not everyone is sure that President-elect Donald Trump’s talk of annexing Canada and Greenland and reclaiming the Panama Canal is driven by a deeper strategy.

. . . and he exploits the broken system to ravage the government and take as much as he can for himself and his perceived friends while in office. He will leave another terrible mess for Dems to clean up after he is gone.

Steven Beschloss@stevenbeschloss.bsky.social

Donald Trump is a terrible, awful, no-good man. The term evil might also apply, a notion I almost never employ or believe in. But as horrendous as he is, we have to accept that he doesn’t exist on the precipice of power again without a lot of terrible, awful, no-good people and a broken system.

💯 Trump and his henchmen have the legacy media on the ropes. They are scared to report this stuff. Don’t back down!

Amanda Litman@amandalitman.bsky.social

I know it’s annoying to say this but if Matt Gaetz was a Democrat, this report would be all we hear about for the next six months. This is horrifying. www.cbsnews.com/news/matt-ga...

Jeffries: In our nation's history, 25% of our nation's debt was accumulated during the four years of the former president, 25%. How dare you lecture America about fiscal responsibility ever.

And so it begins!

Olivia of Troye@oliviaoftroye.com

Today, #KashPatel sent a letter to my counsel @markzaidesq.bsky.social threatening to sue & demanding I retract my MSNBC comments on his unfitness to serve as FBI Director. This follows his threats against media & political opponents, showing how he might act if confirmed. I stand by my statements.

Did he really have a choice?? Trump and his appointed henchmen were going to go after Hunter without question. This was not a hard decision people!!

CNN@cnn.com

President Joe Biden’s decision to pardon his son has left some Democrats fuming over his choice to repeatedly and unequivocally claim that he would never take that step, even though a pardon long appeared possible to Hunter Biden’s legal team.

Bwahahahahaha

Leavitt: What President Trump has that no other candidate who has ever run for office in modern history has is authenticity. He tells the truth.

I just opened up my X app. Took me all of about 12 seconds to realize there’s nothing even remotely redeeming about it. Not even for the sports posts. I’m now searching for a SM outlet for my sports news. I’m going to get rid of that stupid app altogether! It’s Truth Social light. Let them have it!

Let’s hope there are enough level-headed GOP Senators left in the US Senate to prevent a complete disaster. This is a very scary time in our history.
