Life is not of us or for us: it blows through us like the wind through trees; for us is the learning of the dance. Let's try to not let the Anthropocene be a short epoch, or a populist demagogue define our cultural narrative and enshrine plutocracy.

#WashingtonWeekInReview The host tonight seems not to be aware of the well understood ways to put Social Security on a sustainable footing, or understanding the reasons for the huge rise in the debt under Trump, or understanding that historical taxes on the rich would be welcome by most voters.

Everyone who cares about and understands how Science works, and is applied to Pubic Health decisions, should be appalled and angry at Senator Rand Paul, and his inexplicably cruel and misplaced attacks on Anthony Fauci. #AnthonyFauci

Generally, we have expected our public servants to be decent, informed, well intentioned people, attempting to make the country and the world a better place. Not lying, venal, unqualified, corrupt clowns. Our country is in crisis, my heart weeps, and today my flag is upside down. #July4th

this Pirro press conference is completely beyond parody, like a deleted scene from Idiocracy. listen to this shit

USAID was eliminated by people who had no idea what they were doing. Most of them are still in government and still don’t know what they are doing. #Vote #ImpeachAndConvict

Researchers at UCLA and the Barcelona Institute for Global Health projected that the continuing absence of USAID funding will cause 4.5 million child deaths under the age of five by the year 2030 Via The Lancet

Entitled much? Get the Clown Show out of OUR HOUSE! #ImpeachAndConvict

Outspoken™️@out5p0ken.bsky.social

Trump’s granddaughter calls the White House “her house.” Trump is holding affordable housing hostage to force Congress to pass the SAVE Act so he can hold onto power. #TrumpsHousingCrisis

"Trump issued a National Security Presidential Memorandum ... that called for a National Joint Terrorism Task Force to investigate Americans engaging in protest and ordered the attorney general to prosecute protest as a federal crime to the maximum extent permissible by law." 6/23 Heather Richardson

Any Questions? #NationalDebt. #GOP #ImpeachAndConvict

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.

Hey there #GOP how about finding a sense of urgency about what you, and the rest of the country, can FUCKING SEE! #25thAmendment or better yet: #ImpeachAndConvict

"A nation can survive its fools, even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within....for the traitor appears not to be a traitor...he rots the soul of a nation...he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist." ~ Marcus Tullius Cicero

I dont like him. I never liked him. He's always been a grifter. He's a failed businessman. He's a failed president. He's a failed excuse for a decent human being. When he has finally shuffled off this mortal coil it will be the only thing he succeeded at on his own. Then we will have a party.

March 9: "We're now totally independent of the Middle East. We don't need their oil." April 1: "It doesn't really affect us. We have so much oil, much more than we need." June 17: If I didn't agree to the MOU, we "would run out of reserves at about 4 weeks..."

More of this!

When we win, the first bill I’m filing is a comprehensive anti-corruption package: Overturn Citizens United Ban corporate PACs and super PACs Ban members of Congress from trading stocks Once we defeat the most corrupt politician in America, we can defeat this entire corrupt system.

THANK YOU OBAMAS!

Trashy blue paint is now peeling off in the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool and mixing nicely with the massive green algae bloom. This is the kind of “renovation” I expected from a deranged jealous criminal and this nasty shitjob cost taxpayers $14.2M. Are we done winning yet?
