"If what you're doing is legitimate and lawful, why do you need to cover your face?”

@joniernst.bsky.social Joni Ernst not only showed her stupidity (most of Medicaid recipients are MAGA and most fraud is committed by corrupt doctors), but a lack of compassion and empathy in her response to her constituents and her allegiance to the cruelty of the MAGA agenda. #2026iscomingfast

Who is this “god” they worship? This god of guns but not of grace. This god of greed but not generosity. This god of the womb but not of the woman. This god who cannot hear children cry. This god who fears dark skin. This god of America but not all of America? That's the Devil, yo.

@maddow.msnbc.com Can someone please look into how many GOP senators and congressmen/women received govt $$ / scholarships from those “elite” institutions in order to attend?

A federal judge said that the Trump Justice Department likely engaged in unconstitutional retaliation when it cut off grants to American Bar Association programs assisting victims of domestic violence: cnn.it/4iYVs8x

“[Trump’s] greatest weakness is elections. He fears their outcome. That’s why he issued an illegal and unconstitutional executive order to try to seize control of them,” @marcelias.bsky.social writes. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/we-h...

Where are the food drops of WWII? We dropped food in Europe and Asia when we knew people were starving. Where are the food drops for Gaza??? Children need food, seniors need food, caregivers need food. Why are we waiting???

Trump’s entire brand is built on a projection of strength, but it’s a facade. He is weak, impulsive, insecure and easily manipulated. Putin knows it. Xi knows it. The entire free world knows it. But because the GOP has decided to fall for his pantomime dictator act he is an actual threat.

NEW: Donald Trump is not a regular president, and the courts must stop treating him like one. He is an aspiring autocrat who weaponizes the legal process to undermine the rule of law, @marcelias.bsky.social writes. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/the-...

"The power of the purse is how Congress governs, and without it, our representatives no longer decide what the government is empowered to do...This is the first step in establishing dictatorship. The next step is the unchecked power to arrest and imprison." www.theunpopulist.net/p/dictator-o...

A former FBI boss said the bureau’s director Kash Patel is fond of a party. Read more here: www.thedailybeast.com/kash-patel-s...

@arimelber.bsky.social Can we get someone to address the amount of OUR MONEY that Trump is spending defending HIS illegal behavior/decisions???????

What weenies! Instead of going after the worst criminals ICE is hanging out in court houses, “capturing” women & children, gay makeup artists, fathers, students & deporting them wo due process. A 10 yo w/a water pistol could catch these people. Hey Homan - this is your army?All hat , no cattle!!! 😡

@housegop.bsky.social EXPLAIN TO ME LIKE I’M 5 - WHY ARE YOU STILL MORE AFRAID OF TRUMP THAN YOUR CONSTITUENTS?????

@sentomcotton STOP TRYING TO MANSPLAIN GOP RESPONSES! Let their lies stand on their own. We don’t need your interpretations! 😡😡😡

Hey Homan! If gang tattoos are enough to get you deported to ElSalvador, why aren’t you deporting Pete Hegseth? He is covered with gang tattoos???

Holman on This Week is embarrassing himself! John is running rings around him! His lack of intelligence is coming through big and bold!!! He sounds like his last job was running a bowling alley in Podunk! Only the best!!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Never mind the autopen nonsense. Why are Bush, Clinton, Obama and the rest of the so called 'leaders' not using their voices in decrying fascism?

One of the first laws we need to change is impeachment of senators and congressmen. Currently they only answer to each other which is how they get away with not holding town halls to meet with their constituents. If we put them into office, we need to be able to take them out!!!!!!

Trump/Musk’s lawsuits and appeals are not costing them a dime. THEY ARE SPENDING OUR MONEY TO FIGHT THEIR BATTLE AGAINST US!!! W T F!!!!!?????😡😡😡😡😡

If, like most New Jerseyans, you paid income taxes last year then you paid more than Tesla…which paid $0 in federal income tax on $2.3 billion of income. It's time for billionaires and big corporations to pay their fair share. itep.org/tesla-report...

@schumer.senate.gov DO NOT VOTE TO PASS THIS BUDGET. Seniors, veterans, disabled, working poor and hungry kids are counting on you to stand up to the grifters, thieves and thugs currently running our government. Find a spine!!!

Last week @opentodebateorg hosted the debate: Is Elon Musk’s DOGE Dodging the Law? I lay out the many reasons for why I believe DOGE is illegally “slashing through government.” Check it out here: youtu.be/UATYoq4a1hA

A Canadian woman was put in chains and detained by ICE in an “inhumane” facility after trying to get her new visa.

"While Trump retains the ceremonial position of Head of State, signing executive orders with flourish and basking in symbolic pageantry, Musk has effectively become Head of Government, wielding unprecedented control over federal agencies." -@johnron.bsky.social

If Congress has declared the rest of the year one long day, does that mean they only get paid for 1 full day this year? Does it mean that they have to stay in chambers from now til that day ends?

This new complaint against DOGE is truly cranked up to 11 from start to finish. What a way to start a lawsuit storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us... h/t @mikesacks.bsky.social

Not just chief of staff. Chad has also been identified in DOJ news releases as the acting associate attorney general, No. 3 at DOJ (below AG Bondi and Acting Deputy Attorney General Emil Bove).

Wait till the White House starts directing the Marshals Service not to protect judges who rule against the Administration. I’d bet good money that’ll happen at some point.

NEW: Trump's cuts to CISA, the federal cybersecurity agency that helps protects elections, have ended key training and services for local election officials. "We may lose one of the most vital services," Arizona Sec. of State Adrian Fontes told Democracy Docket.

Elon Musk has tasked DOGE with aggressively downsizing the federal workforce, but some staffers are reportedly pocketing six-figure salaries from the very agencies they're slashing.

What we saw last night was nothing but lies beyond count. The twisting of good projects overseas into dark evil and almost 5 minutes of lies about Social Security recipients. It’s all twisting reality so fools are eager to tear down the very system protecting them. They’re coming for ALL of it.

"In what is being called a historic performance, on Tuesday night Donald J. Trump set a new world record for delivering the longest speech that did not include a single fact." @borowitzreport.bsky.social brings updates from last night's speech with some depressing (if not impressive) statistics.

Look on the bright side.

This actually tells you a lot.

@potus How much is going to Musk, how much is going into your pocket? 👖🔥👖🔥👖🔥

Exclusive: Six sources who worked for the Air Force or in Congress told ProPublica that they had heard about Sen. Joni Ernst’s relationship with a top military official and there had been concerns about it for years.

The warnings were clear: * 1 million kids untreated for severe acute malnutrition; * Up to 166,000 malaria deaths; * TB cases up 30% * 200,000 more polio-induced paralysis cases in 10 years. The Trump team killed USAID anyway. www.propublica.org/article/trum...

How dare Alina Hanna denigrate veterans by suggesting that they are collecting a salary without working. These are the heroes who stood up to serve when DJT decided to serve at Studio 54. #Habbaknowsnolow
