Clyburn: "People better get serious about this. When he says he's not joking about throwing away the Constitution, which is what he'd have to do to have a third term, and we are not gonna rise up in opposition to that? I think it's time for us all to wake up."

Raskin: I call on my colleagues to take down the wanted posters with judges’ faces on them outside of offices in House office buildings

Crockett: "Down in Alabama, who's broke. Down in Louisiana, who's broke. I can go through pretty much the entire south and tell you that they're broke and rely on a lot of welfare from the government. To be perfectly honest, it is tax dollars from these big blue states...we're in the find out phase"

No, but if you’re looking for one, I am aware of a guy you work with that was indicted four times and convicted of thirty-four felonies.

Senator Schiff (as Dems filibuster the nomination of Project 2025 author Russ Vought): “The moment you say it’s ok to violate the law to shut down USAID you have said it is ok to violate the law and shut down anything.”

abcnews.go.com/Politics/com... Great! Why haven't Democrats been doingthatall along? Come on! Stop this constant flood of outrages. @democrats.org

We did it! We flooded the U.S. Senate phone system... Republican Senator Lisa Murkowski said the Senate phone has been receiving 1,600 calls each minute versus 40 calls on a normal day... Keep calling for the rest of the month... You may call (202) 224-3121 for Congressional switchboard...

Amazing turnout for today's... ▪️ 50 States ▪️ 50 Capitols ▪️ 50 Marches Stop the Coup ✊️ Sacramento, California

Lawsuit filed against Musk and Trump alleging massive privacy intrution and ongoing violation of federal laws... Legal expert says federal judge is expected to issue an injunction possibly as soon as tomorrow..

🦬 This land is your land. This government is your government. Don't let them take it without a fight.

This is preposterous and won't last. You can't create weather, marine and tide forecasts, let alone manage NOAA vessels at sea (!), without communicating outside the country. www.wired.com/story/noaa-e...

Murphy: "We need to act like a real opposition party in the middle of a constitutional and democracy crisis. That means we should not be moving forward nominees or legislation in the Senate. Ds should not be giving votes to nominee or legislation in the Senate until Rs get serious about this crisis"

Democratic senators will hold the Senate floor all night long in opposition to the nomination of Russ Vought, an organizer of Project 2025, to head the OMB.

Nationwide protest against Trump and Project 2025 take over steps of the PA Capitol...

Posting again: if you want to leave Google search, DuckDuckGo is an amazing option. I’ve used it for ages and it’s fantastic. Just know you aren’t stuck with Google for web search!

I sincerely don’t know why people aren’t physically stopping those dorks. Move shit. Lock doors. Lose the keys. Everyone switch seats. Turn off all the lights. Switch the signs on the elevator lobby. Make the settings all silly. Use a different language. Wear costumes. Fill rooms with balloons

Crockett: "If feels as if y'all have just decided that y'all are gonna castrate your constitutional duty & hand it over to someone who was unelected. It doesn't matter how many cheerleaders he had on the field campaigning for him. That doesn't mean he gets to go in and sit atop any of our agencies"

A fair question.

Whitehouse: "You had a guy who Trump was proposing to be the top prosecutor for the US whose only experience with criminal investigations was to be the subject of them ... the reflection of this on the judgement of Trump is perhaps the most remarkable part of this story"

A rule to live by: Never trust anyone who would rather raise the retirement age than make the rich contribute more to Social Security. #HandsOffOurSocialSecurity

Assad is now in Moscow, so Tulsi can visit all her friends in one place.

My brother and I are plumbing a bathroom today, and I realized the video game industry has totally lied to us about the number of gold coins, princesses, turtles and even mushrooms involved.

I'm not sure why people are saying Brian Thompson was a billionaire. His net worth was 43 million. Yeah it's still a lot but come on people. Be serious. IDK... He may have been a dick but he wasn't a Bezos or Musk level capitalist.

Chip Roy dismisses the Pete Hegseth rape allegation: "We've all had some indiscretions in our past and things like that."

There’s no such thing as working productively with MAGA nihilists like Elon, Vivek and RFK, Jr. They want to bring down our Republic. Don’t normalize them by pointing out a few of their good ideas. You can’t play nice with the leopards. Let them into your house and they will eat your face.

I am despondent, exhausted, tired, ashamed, frustrated,and angry at the Americans who voted for a rapist, fraud, liar, adulterous, racist and felon. Weak Donald will select an administration that will destroy departments they will be appointed to lead- the veterans will sound the alarm.

With additional funding, the IRS has cracked down on wealthy tax evaders, improved customer service, and launched a free tax filing program. Who did Trump pick to lead the agency? A former House rep who sponsored legislation to dismantle it. Hello?

Virtually every question today at the WH Press briefing was about the Hunter pardon, as if that is the thing the American people care about most right now. The DC press is so disconnected from the American public and serves them poorly more often than not.

"We cannot continue to participate in the social network feed of a man who proclaims the death of the media and therefore of journalists... X is a platform that no longer serves the public interest at all, but the special ideological and financial interests of its owner and his political allies"

"Nancy Mace often tailors her positions and entire persona depending on where she's booked. In an especially egregious example from 2021, Mace praised vaccines during a CNN interview but promoted 'natural immunity' on Fox News, both on the same day."

Folks, I'm really proud that when chuds show up in my comments to take a crap on my timeline, by and large your response is... nothing. You are truly living the magic of "don't engage the assholes" and I love that for all of us. And then I block em and they're gone forever. You're great! Thank you.

This is all the Russians have been able to take in almost a year, at the cost of about 1500 men A DAY. You heard that right, 1500 PER DAY

Trump pardoned Jared Kushner's dad while Jared worked in the White House, then yesterday appointed Jared's dad as an ambassador, but Polis didn't have the same energy for that. Pathetic stuff that I for one won't soon forget.

It feels wonderful to have been welcomed by so many of you here on BlueSky... especially the sticking it to Leon part. 😛

She “thought” she had a degree in education
