Every accusation is a confession when this asshole opens his yap. There has never been a dumber, moronic, imbecile in the Whore House leading Amerikkka into a fiery pit of lies & bullshit. But, you voted for this POS & you can vote him out. Impeach. Remove. Imprison. Arrivederci, Asshole!

It never is a good look when a billionaire is buying election. Reminds me of Republican Meg Whitman in 2010 who spent $144 million of her own fortune, and lost to Jerry Brown, a Democrat.

The fact that Steyer is now close to spending 200 million dollars and not even in first place should make all of us cringe. Tom is spending an egregious amount of money for the CA governor's seat. Time to put a cap on campaign financial spending in California! www.sfchronicle.com/projects/202...

tRump: "I was totally exonerated." And by "exonerated", he means he was found liable for sexually assaulting & defaming E. Jean Carroll by a jury of his peers & ordered to pay her $88.3 Million. #WordsMatter

The SAVE Act has nothing to do with stopping voter fraud. It’s a poll tax to stop legal voters from casting their ballots. It's how Trump is laying the groundwork to block certification of any election results he doesn’t like. Tell your senators to vote NO: (202) 224-3121 [@brennancenter.org]

Just so we're all clear, this is a war crime and would be punishable by life or death under U.S. law.

Hegseth: "We will keep pushing, keep advancing. No quarter, no mercy for our enemies." No quarter is the refusal to take prisoners and instead just execute everyone. It's been considered a war crime for over a century.

“When a 100-year-old warrior was given … Congressional Medals of Honor that were handed out, Trump actually, Trumpily, produced the mega-cringe moment of the night when he—America’s most famous draft dodger—said he would like to figure out how to give the nation’s highest honor for valor to himself”

If you were fortunate enough to have missed Trump's lie-drenched bloviatathon last night, perhaps you would like an analysis of what was important about it (and what wasn't). If so, here's my view (in human language you won't find in old grey traditional media). www.thedailybeast.com/donald-trump...

“You [know] the biggest problem with being friends with you?” Dr. Peter Attia wrote in an email to Epstein in response to an email with the subject line “Got a fresh shipment.” Attia answered his own question: “The life you lead is so outrageous, and yet I can’t tell a soul.” -HRC

No one can be watching this Davos speech and reach any conclusion but that the President of the United States is mentally disturbed and that something is deeply wrong with him. This is both embarrassing and extremely dangerous.

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.

In 2020, Trump tried to overturn the election. In 2024, he built an army of election deniers. This year, he is raising the stakes. He said he wants to control vote counting. He suggested that he should've seized ballot boxes. Today, he said "We shouldn’t even have an election" at all.

It’s really gutting to read such a brief and horrific sentence that sums up what RFK Jr. did to the United States of America in the year 2025.

The United States was the gold standard for science and technology for decades, and there was never any reason that had to end.

U.S. military spending is set to hit a record $1 trillion. Roughly half of defense spending goes to private contractors that routinely price-gouge the government. Meanwhile, the Pentagon has failed EIGHT straight audits. This is the military industrial complex on steroids.

I no longer subscribe to the Wapo but this headline is enough to confirm what I have known all along.

STEPHANOPOULOS: The Democratic proposal is designed to prevent millions of Americans from losing their health insurance, losing Medicaid coverage, or paying higher healthcare premiums. Why are you against that? MIKE JOHNSON: That's an absurd statement STEPHANOPOULOS: It's a factual statement

My uncles were in an ANTIFA group in the 1940s. It was called the United States Army. They fought in World War II. They would turn in their grave to witness what this country is becoming.

This was back before JD Vance sold out completely.

JD Vance on Donald Trump: “I’m a Never Trump guy. I never liked him. I don’t think he’s the person. I don’t think he cares about folks. I think that he’s noxious and is leading the white working class to a very dark place.” { ht: @marcofoster.bsky.social }

In any other timeline, a dog-eating, bear-dumping, whale-chainsawing, sexual-assaulting, brain-wormed moron like RFK Jr, a man with no medical degree who swears he can diagnose kids just by looking at them...would exist only as an Onion headline.

This should be a non-stop media campaign for the next three years. Stop running solely against Trump; he won't be on the ballot. Explain over and over again why unless you're a billionaire, Democrats are *always* better for your personal financial situation. The evidence is abundant. 🧵1/x

Democrats should have a full-time marketing team, that includes an economist whose #1 job it is to make sure everyone knows the economy does vastly better under Democrats. It should report to a party leadership committee with authority to speak for the party. bsky.app/profile/davi...

We can't allow ourselves to become numb to mass shootings. What happened today in Minneapolis is heartbreaking, and Michelle and I are praying for the parents who have lost a child or will be sitting at their hospital bedside after yet another act of unspeakable, unnecessary violence.

Pritzker: This is not about fighting crime. This is about the President and his complicit lackey, Stephen Miller, searching for ways to lay the groundwork to circumvent our democracy, militarize our cities, and end elections.
