Is it clear now what the next class of people this administration will do away with? The message is very clear here. Anyone who they deem as not contributing to their idea of society, whether that be a truth or not. The elderly, disabled, autistic…we are a perceived drain and must be done away with.

Imagine seeing this image four years ago. You would've wondered what tragedy befell our country where a scene like this could possibly happen.

Sean Spicer was just the beginning to test our tolerance. Our mistake was we laughed

Josh Marshall@joshtpm.bsky.social

this is just a horrible, pathological liar. we know that. but they know they've lost the public on this one. the escalation is the giveaway

I find it quite bizarre that the “no one works remotely” administration couldn’t get their butts into a SCIF to coordinate this operation. Especially Trump who watched from his golf course. Did he sell tickets so others could watch too? Lazy way to run a country. We need some prosecutions here-quick

@jasmineforusa.bsky.social what happens when Congress realizes he doesn’t need them anymore? Will they disappear or lead the revolution? I think I know who will stick around and doubtful any of them will he GOP.

Jasmine Crockett@jasmineforus.bsky.social

Honest question for those not in the cult… what do you think it will take for them to finally admit that he’s ruining the country & put pressure on Repubs to turn their backs on him & finally hold him accountable?

When did constituents become “activists” or “the opposition”? We truly are living in the upside down. We have the power, our numbers are greater, let’s take it all back. -BlueDotRedState-

My day…no warning tornado at 4:45 am in SE OK. Lost all my out buildings and carports. Roof gone, shed upside down and wrapped around a tree. Debris field over 76 acres. NWS out of Norman conspicuously absent. Why??? Local weather tapping into NWS Fort Worth for info which was totally different. ???

Remember when Trump said “ who knew healthcare was so complicated?”. Lessons not learned

Murphy: "Hegseth got the job because he's the weekend news anchor on Fox, and Trump watches a lot of Fox and so he decided to make that guy the head of the DOD and our chief negotiator in Ukraine. Pete Hegseth is screwing it up badly, but of course he is ... all he knows how to do is read the news"

Elon isn’t looking for fraud, waste and abuse. He’s building dossiers on his and Trump’s enemies/competitors. If they decide they still need the Senate and Congress (as useful idiots) when they are done with this foray into PFI, they will be so very compromised.

When you call your reps & senators, ask them how many Antitrust Laws do they suppose Musk is violating and how they themselves might be held complicit? Simply by no action to stop him.

This is why Musk hit the Treasury first. He has your banking info. The government won’t have to wait for you to pay, they will take it.

George Conway ⚖️🇺🇸@gtconway.bsky.social

A couple of (actually serious) thought-experiment questions on where we are and where we’re going: If a bunch of sociopaths are destroying the federal government from within, why should we pay federal taxes? And if they succeed, who’s going to make us pay those taxes?

Now that Musk has all our banking info, what is to stop him from directly withdrawing payment for any student loan debt or IRS debt or medical debt etc etc etc

Jess Piper@piperformissouri.bsky.social

Any other person would be arrested…

Same here, and let me say, OK legislators are a waste of breath and time. I am go to start, instead of calling, funding the groups that are actually fighting the fight. ACLU, Marc Elias etc. Mr Rogers said when in trouble, find the helpers.

Stevijoe Payne, philosopher@stevijoe.bsky.social

I called my two worthless United States Senators for Oklahoma. Lankford has a greeting message that can not be understood. Mullin transferred to another number and immediately hung up on me. I sent Mullin an email.

President Musk will be pissed.

Just Jack@just-jack-1.bsky.social

Well played, President Claudia Sheinbaum, for committing troops already at the border since 2021, knowing perfectly well President Man Baby would have no idea and take it as a win.

This daily presser is beyond the pale. He’s propped up and reading Stephen Miller’s missive for the day. DEI is to blame for everything, I guess. So embarrassing, so sadly embarrassing.

Reading list to help you prepare for what’s coming: Parable of the Sower (series) -Octavia Bulter World made by Hand - James Howard Kunstler The Foxfire Book/series - Eliot Wigginton It’s up to us to survive-to fight

How ironic is it that the earth seems to be mourning the death of Jimmy Carter, a huge contributor to Homes for Humanity with fires that are… destroying homes. A wake up call for us?! Sadly those who need to heed this lesson are deaf, dumb and blind to this symbolism. Tikkun Olam

Raising that flag back to full staff as he takes the oath or immediately after would be the most dystopian move ever. Really bad optics, but his followers will love it. I bet that will be his exact first move.

Allison Gill@muellershewrote.com

I told y’all he wouldn’t keep the flag at half mast. What a piece of shit.

The scum are his people, he taught them well. The monsters he alone is creating. The rest of us will suffer.

Matthew Gertz@mattgertz.bsky.social

Incoming president declares that "violent SCUM" has "infiltrated all aspects of our government and our Nation" and must be stopped through "strength and powerful leadership"... This won't end well.

I don’t care that he got over 50% of the majority vote. His obligation, now that he has been elected, is to develop an agenda that benefits 100% of the populace. His cabinet is the first guardrail to ensure that happens. Every nominee MUST be confirmed and subject to that process.

Ron Filipkowski@ronfilipkowski.bsky.social

The Founders put ‘advice and consent’ in the Constitution for a reason. They wanted Senators to have oversight over Cabinet picks of a President to ensure that they were properly vetted. Winning an election 49.89%-48.24 doesn’t dispense with that constitutional responsibility.

If Nancy Mace doesn’t want to share a restroom with Sarah, I have a potty chair she is welcome to put in her office. But make a decision now dear, postage is going up.

Charlotte Clymer@charlotteclymer.bsky.social

Today, Nancy Mace introduced a resolution to the House rules package that would ban trans women from using women's restrooms in the U.S. Capitol. This is being done as Sarah McBride is set to become the first openly-trans Member of Congress. It remains very unclear how this rule would be enforced.

Losing the ACA will have a domino effect. No coverage for anyone means no payments to clinics/hospitals, which means no money for staff, which means massive layoffs which will lead to destruction of lending/banks when bankruptcies rise, which leads to increased homelessness. It’s a vicious cycle.

Aaron Black@aaronblack.bsky.social

140 million people in the US have a pre-existing medical condition. The Affordable Care Act guarantees that they can’t be turned away at the emergency room or denied coverage. Trump and his MAGA Republican enablers in Congress have promised to repeal it. We are going to stop them AGAIN!

Now that I have drifted among the thermals, let me introduce myself. I was a lifelong moderate GOP, until Trump. Jimmy Carter was my first vote for POTUS, hardly a party-liner. I am an RN, proud USAF veteran, serving during Desert Shield/Storm. I temporarily live in deep red OK. ❤️=books, bees, knits

Now that the circus has it’s ringmaster in AG Gaetz, time for Senate and House GOP to grow a pair and acknowledge the clown they aided and abetted for the last nine years. Ready to turn this around? A tired and disgusted nation is watching.

I live in very very rural OK. Came back from town this afternoon to a bald eagle in a tree overlooking one of our tanks (pond). I am taking that as a positive sign for this little blue dot. 🦅 Never stop fighting.
