"They'll leave it alone" is a common lie cat owners tell themselves.

“I’ve been eating BBQ since before Ken Paxton’s first indictment” is a great joke. I’d love to see Talarico swap out the punchline each time he tells it. “…since before Ken Paxton cheated on his wife” “…since before Ken Paxton was impeached by his own party” There are hundreds of options.

The "pro-peace" administration casually threatened genocide against an entire country. We won't forget this.

Before Trump's still-unjustified war with Iran, Iran was getting *less money* per barrel of oil it sold, and Iran wasn’t getting $2 million for each ship passing through the Strait of Hormuz. So Trump’s war has been a gift to Iran. Donald is smart that way.

The president of the United States is advocating for and committing war crimes in our name. He needs to be impeached and removed for his illegal unconstitutional war. Now he is smearing every American as war criminals, and he needs to be removed immediately.!

Lieu: "Undocumented immigrants want nothing to do with the govt! To vote, you have to first register. How many undocumented immigrants are gonna go, 'Yes, I'm gonna give all my information to the govt that's maybe trying to deport me. No way!' This is a problem that doesn't exist."

Trump on NATO: "The problem with NATO is that we'll be there for them 100% but I'm not sure that they'd be there for us, if we gave them the call". We did get the call on 9/11. 26 NATO members sent troops to defend the US. Hundreds died doing so. It was the only time Article 5 has been activated.

This is not a rational person. And this is deeply disturbing coming from an American President. NATO is not our enemy—they are unequivocally our closest friends and allies. At this point, how can you not call into question the mental fitness of this President?

Trump has obviously been giving any and all intelligence Putin wants to him. That is treason. Trump should be more than impeached after we get the bastard out of office. He should be tried for treason.

The official message of the U.S. government to ICE is if you kill an American citizen while trying to deport brown people, not only will we cover it up but we will try to jail their spouse instead. We all died during COVID and this is hell.

Trump: I need to take over Greenland now, because if I don’t, Russia will. Also Trump: Vladimir will you please join my Board of Peace?

Pew Research Institute (2023): • Red State Texas has about 2.1 million undocumented immigrants • Red State Florida has 1.6 M undocumented immigrants • Blue State Minnesota has 130,000. And yet only Minnesota is being occupied by masked thugs over "immigration." It's *not* about immigration.

Quit talking about Trump. Address everything, every issue to Miller and Vought. Make Trump irrelevant, his ego will not let him be out of the spotlight and you’ll see Miller and Vought removed and the rest of the administration collapse.

Elections have consequences. A man like this never belonged near the levers of power. Not the first time. And certainly not this second time when everything was knowable. We are trapped in a tragedy and must fight our way out.

Requiring foreign visitors to hand over 5 years of social media isn’t “security,” it’s unchecked government control. All-seeing surveillance systems don’t make us safer. They are in direct opposition to our civil liberties. www.nbcnews.com/politics/tru...

nbcnews.comForeign tourists could be required to disclose 5 years of social media histories under Trump administration planThe Customs and Border Protection proposal would apply even to countries that don't require visas to enter.

Trump is 30 points underwater. Dems swept the special elections. People know the GOP is responsible for the shutdown. So the Dem Senators pulled out their big guns... and shot themselves in the foot.

Stephen Miller said the quiet part out loud. Trump has “plenary authority,” then suddenly went silent. Their plan wasn’t to be public yet. Clearly, someone hit the panic button in his earpiece. It gets weirder: CNN uploaded the interview with the “plenary authority” comment edited out. 1/2

Earlier this year, Speaker Johnson swore in two Republicans less than 24 hours after their elections. It’s been 17 days since @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social won her election, and she still hasn’t been sworn in. She would be the tie-breaking vote to release the Epstein files.

🖋️ “Stand Firm: Don’t Cave to Trump’s Shutdown Lies and Threats” hit 5,000 signers! 💬 Text SIGN PUJTAR to 50409

resist.botStand Firm: Don’t Cave to Trump’s Shutdown Lies and ThreatsText SIGN PUJTAR to 50409 — America is staring down another government shutdown—not because of real budget disagreements, but because the president has chosen petulance over leadership. Donald Trump walked away from negotiations he himself had agreed to, then claimed that his opponents demanded open borders, “operations for everybody,” criminals on Medicaid, and other absurdities. These claims are distractions, not facts, and no serious policymaker believes them. The real priorities at stake are what the American people care about: affordable healthcare, secure Medicare and Medicaid, protecting public health, and continuing critical medical research. Those are issues worth negotiating. Instead of engaging, Trump abandoned the table and spun fantasies to cover his retreat. That is not strength—it is weakness. Now the White House has escalated even further. Agencies have been told to prepare not just for furloughs but for permanent firings if the government shuts down. This reckless move is intended to intimidate public servants and punish institutions Trump deems disloyal. Experts already warn that such firings are legally and logistically impossible on short notice, revealing yet another hollow threat designed to generate fear, not solutions. Meanwhile, Trump is publicly trying to shift blame, declaring that any shutdown “pain” will be caused by others, even as his own decisions drive the crisis. And the consequences are real: air traffic controller training will halt, worsening staffing shortages that could cost the aviation industry over $1 billion per week. Federal services across the board will stall. The burden will fall on American families—because one president refuses to sit down and negotiate in good faith. A shutdown is never desirable. But surrendering to invented demands and empty threats would be far worse. If Congress caves now, it sets a precedent that lies and bullying dictate the nation’s budget. It tells the public that tantrums, not facts, decide policy. This is the moment to hold the line. Refuse to fund the Trump regime’s agenda without protecting healthcare and public health. Let him own the shutdown he is manufacturing. Show the country that Congress will not be bullied into submission, and that the people’s branch of government still values truth, courage, and the authority granted by the Constitution.

People always used to ask, "How low will Republicans go to protect and pander to Donald Trump?" Thanks to Ted Cruz, we now have our answer.

Ted Cruz: “How about we all come together and say let's stop attacking pedophiles." It's sickening to watch the "family values" party defend a pedophile. #ProudBlue #Pinks #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice
