"A heartwarming story of how being an unethical and talentless hack is no barrier to success when you are willing to endlessly flatter the wretched views of rich dipshits."

Trump’s own DOJ may reportedly pay him $10 billion to settle his own IRS lawsuit. Whoever approves this should be arrested on sight!

Powell: "The thing a good number of people on the committee are concerned about is very very low level of job creation. If you adjust the trend job creation over the past 6 months for what we think is overstatement due to overcounting, effectively there is 0 net job creation in the private sector"

A federal appeals court delivered a win for voters Tuesday, rejecting a Republican-backed lawsuit that sought to force Arizona to aggressively purge its voter rolls based on unproven claims of widespread voter fraud. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Republicans have raised the cost of nearly everything—health care, groceries, gas, and now, even voting. Their SAVE "Trump" Act would nickel & dime Americans just trying to vote—sending them through one Republican roadblock after another. Democrats won't stand by & let it happen.

We gotta fight this fascist regime with the fire of a million suns! That means putting in the work to win elections. If you're afraid of these fascist fks & #ICELawlessness get involved in the most important work of registering voters. Volunteer for candidates, donate & recruit others to help.

Live shot of Rand Paul to Markwayne Mullin this morning.

War has a way of exposing the difference between power and strategy. The United States has enormous power. What remains unclear right now is whether anyone running this war has a strategy. open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

I read the “Save America Act” bc I wondered why MAGAs were expending so much energy on it. Creating obstacles 4 married women w/ name changes is part of it but I wasn’t convinced it was all of it bc it wld impact conservative women too. What I found is alarming & underreported. #VoterPurges ⬇️

GOP Farm Bill Set to Unleash Pesticide Use and Strip Animal Welfare Protections truthout.org/articles/gop... Is it me or is MAGA the Biblical plagues all rolled into one toxic package, determined to destroy everything good in the world? #BlueCrew

I wanted to bring this up again because it’s disgusting and cruel. Please contact your reps and express your horror about this. #ProudBlue #OneV1 #Pinks

Explain it to me like I’m five… 🤬

The cost of building a new hospital is about $100 million. We're dropping the equivalent of 10 hospitals a day on Iran. Trump decided this war was a better use of taxpayer money than giving Americans health care. It’s not.

seems like the clearest purpose of the war is to reopen the thing that closed because of the war?

The SAVE Act is a poll tax and voter suppression act, period. Glad Thune lacks the votes.

Even as a cynical scholar of rape culture, I'm shocked that this isn't the headline story on domestic politics everywhere right now. It's just an unfathomable abuse of power, in clear violation of the law.

🚨🚨 Dozens of documents detailing FBI interviews with an Epstein victim who accused Donald Trump of sexually abusing her as a 13-year-old are being kept under wraps.

Breaking🚨 Newly released videos of the DHS murder of Ruben Ray Martinez show the agent who they claim he ran over arresting Orta and walking without any visible injury or limp. Ruben Ray Martinez just turned 23 when Trump's Homeland Security thug, Jack Stevens, shot & killed him on March 15, 2025.

Sen. Kennedy: How do you square your concern for waste with the fact that you have spent $220 million running television advertisements that feature you prominently? Noem: Trump tasked me with getting the message out. That has been extremely effective.

it’s primary election day here in texas! get out and vote, this election is too big to skip out on!

Mark Kelly to Undersecretary of Defense Elbridge Colby: "I'm trying to understand whether you believe Iran can be primarily contained by our regional partners, which is what you wrote a few weeks ago, or is it imminent threat to the US as President Trump just told the American people? Can't be both"

Kristi Noem refuses to retract her statements that Renee Good and Alex Pretti were domestic terrorists.

Zero Republicans call for Benghazi-style hearings. No rightwing media outrage. Republicans dined off of 4 dead Americans in Benghazi for a decade, and yet 3 dead Americans at the hands of a GOP president who promised no new wars gets no pushback. Fuck these fake outrage ghouls.

And now we know why ICE is moving all of the pregnant migrants to Texas. and it’s pathetic. #SheShed

Trump still unwilling to go in front of reporters, and/or state what the objectives are of the war he started.

Congress failed to pass the SAVE Act last year for good reason: it’s an anti-voter bill. But now lawmakers have revived it despite overwhelming public opposition. Tell your senators to reject the SAVE Act: bit.ly/4tmVIor

Former Vice President Kamala Harris with some choice words for Trump about getting us into another forever war. Congress needs to get back to Washington and vote to curb this tyrants appetite for war, Americans don’t want this shit.💥🔥💥

I genuinely cannot get over him launching a war from his house in Palm Beach.

This Admin is deeply out of touch. Instead of lowering costs for working families, Trump is plunging us into another war in the Middle East. If families can’t afford rent or groceries, something is seriously wrong in this country. Congress must reconvene and vote on our war powers resolution—now

Never has a president launched a war of this scope for such incoherent reasons www.vox.com/politics/481...

Repeatedly during his campaign, he made claims that we all knew were false about his intentions. When he decided to change the name to Department of War, it was clear he was ramping up to go on the attack. Here we are. Ask those MAGA supporters their thoughts today. Maybe this is the bridge too far?

“.. This is your peace prize. It is also a beautiful medal that you can wear everywhere you want to go.”

The Epstein/trump Files has more protection than the American people and other countries around the world! You Warmonger! #SheShed

And not just in Israel. Dubai, Bahrain, Kuwait. Trump has started a war in the Middle East.

I would not want to be the one to deliver bad news to trump and his flying ketchup

Trump is in Texas today because the GOP is in trouble. Presidents don’t campaign in “safe” states unless something’s wrong. And, there's a lot wrong right now. Texans have suffered under one party rule for too long.

Congratulations. You harassed a married staffer until she submitted to your perversions leading to her suicide and still kept your job because the Republican Party stands for nothing except the acquisition of power. Congrats, Tony. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Nothing says fascism and Nazism quite like the MAGA regime placing a giant banner of the orange felon’s face outside of the DOJ building. The United States no longer has a functioning independent Justice Department, it is being used to protect a convicted criminal.

Every senator who voted to confirm RFK Jr owns this tragedy. Every single one.

"We ended DEI in America" An easily disprovable lie More than 30 shareholder meetings since Jan. 2025 at many of the world's biggest corporations – eg Apple, Boeing, Disney, Coca-Cola, Visa – voted to continue supporting diversity and inclusion www.impactivize.org/2025-shareho...

I truly hope that House Republican leadership protecting a sexual predator like Rep. Tony Gonzales for the rest of the year ends up costing them 5 more seats in Nov. They should be asked about this relentlessly every single day until he’s gone.

Outrageously inappropriate.
