CONGRESS APPROVED THE MONEY — SO WHY ARE OUR TROOPS STILL LIVING LIKE THIS? Pete Hegseth owes our troops & their families an explanation. #SupportTheTroops 🧵

Muslims didn’t storm the Capitol on January 6, try to steal an election, or overthrow our government. White Christian nationalists, racist militia groups, and rabid Trump supporters did. We need to stop pretending the biggest terrorist threat to this country is coming from somewhere else.

Americans are relearning the lesson we learned during the Gilded Age of the late 1890s, when robber barons ran the government and the economy for their own benefit: Oligarchy is incompatible with the common good. I'm hopeful we'll respond with a new progressive movement.

There have been several voter fraud cases in CO. They were always caught when the signatures didn't match. They were Republicans, one was even the chair of the CO GOP.

Nine FBI agents investigated the classified documents Trump took to Mar-a-Lago. Kash Patel fired all nine. He told Congress it followed "internal investigations." Their lawsuit says there weren't any. Someone's lying to Congress, and I’d bet it’s not the agents.

This is some dystopian nightmare crap. We’re moving from AI helping humans make decisions to AI making life and death decisions with minimal human oversight. What could possibly go wrong?

This is just strange behavior, even from a dementia patient. Trump stops and waves. The camera zooms out to reveal that there’s nobody in the direction he’s waving. Apparently, he’s waving to the ghost of Lindsey Graham.

Gwynne Wilcox was the first Black woman on the National Labor Relations Board and later its first Black woman chair. Trump fired her before her term ended. Today, the Supreme Court declined to review her case, leaving the lower court ruling in place. They can never erase her history. #SheShed

Clearly they must all be criminals because how else could black people from Somalia come here and make enough money to buy a BMW? 🙄 He doesn't even try to hide his racism and his base loves him for it.

Trump: "You go up to Minnesota -- number one place in the entire country for the sale of Mercedes-Benz. And Somalians are buying them. They come here with low IQs and no money and they get rich. Do we feel stupid? Our fraud division is getting them all."

Dolly Parton's passing reminds us that legacy is not only what we achieve but what continues because we chose to serve others. Her investment in children, education & communities offers us a lesson. Invest in people. Strengthen communities. Leave something that outlives you. #RIPDolly #BlueEarth

1/ ProPublica reports Trump appointees wanted CISA to secretly examine a voting machine, report findings to the White House, and conceal flaws from the maker. They were turned down. But did that end the effort? We don’t know... but trust them? Hell NO. #DV1 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy

There has been very little talk of the Epstein files ever since the Iran war began. Gas prices > up. Prices of groceries > up. Trump's approval ratings went WAY DOWN! 📉 And yet, he keeps the war going. One has to wonder are the Epstein files really worth all that? Keep pushing!! #Epstein #Trump

"decisive battle"??? Nothing civilized about kicking people out of where they have established their lives. The people and the civilization will survive, thrive, maybe even IMPROVE things!

Benjamin Netanyahu basically said that if any future US president turns its back on Israel it will not end well for the US and he is already teaming up with allies to ensure a "proper response" should that happen once Trump leaves office. That certainly sounds like a threat to me.

"A full assessment of the record in the East Potomac case sure seems to suggest that the problematic behavior has come from the government, and not from Judge Reyes.
