Defender of Democracy

The regime quietly ripped $3B in food stamps and Medicaid away from families. So Hawaii's governor just fought back with a genius move: a new 13% tax bracket on millionaires to fully fund the stolen aid. Read how a blue state just outsmarted Trump: 👇 www.dworkinsubstack.com/p/judge-orde...

Ossoff: He’s trying to put his face on the money. He's building a monument to himself . But see, Atlanta, he's doing these things now because no one will honor him when he’s gone… because he's a failed president and a national disgrace.

The state of America in four panels.

Black people are giving it these Confederates raw and uncut. This is how it’s gonna be now. You wonder what we’re thinking? It’s this. I believe this is activist Gary Chambers again in Louisiana.

Mark Zuckerberg built a massive data center in Georgia just hundreds of yards from people’s homes. Now the water pressure is gone. Sinks don’t run. Toilets won’t refill. Homes shake nonstop. Power outages are routine.

NEW. The Senate Judiciary and HSGAC reconciliation bills are out. They would fund, mostly through September 2029: - $38.2 billion for ICE - $26.1 billion for CBP - $5 billion for a DHS deportation slush fund. - $1.5 billion for DOJ criminal enforcement - $1 billion for Secret Service ballroom work

Why is this not the only thing everyone in the media is talking about?

Trump: "No president has ever taken a cognitive test except me. I've taken three of them. One in the first administration. They're hard. The first question is easy. You have a lion, a bear, an alligator, and a squirrel. 'Which is the squirrel?'"

Mockler: This administration is not just changing objectives every single day. They're lowering the threshold for what victory is considered as.

Mockler: If we have won so decisively, why can't we get a single ship through the strait of hormuz? Why won't we even try to escort a ship through the strait of hormuz?

Meijer: They don’t have a Navy anymore. Mockler: It was 55 years old. Jennings: They were constantly harassing ships in the gulf. Mockler: They’re still doing that.

Maddow: How is Jared Kushner's role in the U.S. attacking Iran not more of a show-stopping scandal?

With the context of this guy being indighted on 100 counts before he became president and everyone still acting like they are going to concede any power while the media plays pretend for the public is like watching slow motion car crash.

This tracks The National Geographic voice caps it off though ☠️

🔥 the only appropriate reaction to Lydia Moynihan

Yesterday morning kids were sent running from their bus stop in panic because ICE showed up. This guy at today’s ICE Out of Lindenwold protest is a must watch 😭. @maddow.bsky.social

The corruption of this administration is beyond understanding. Would not want to be on the side supporting them.

This is the BEST explanation I have seen so far.

The overwhelming majority of jobs at the two biggest companies in America pay less than $20/hr. Meanwhile, the heads of those companies are some of the richest people on the planet. See the problem?

This is Link. His ball suddenly went missing and then reappeared trapped under his bed. He called his brother Otto in for backup, knowing they'd need all three of their collective brain cells to get it back. 12/10 for both (IG: thegoldenbruvs)

Republicans are taking a short break from cutting billions of dollars from the SNAP budget to pretend they care about Americans going hungry

While the top 1% control $54 TRILLION (not a typo)

And I would like to challenge this person to get a real job

CHICAGO — “Border Patrol Commander Gregory Bovino under scrutiny after he was recorded throwing what appeared to be a tear gas canister at protesters, attorneys accuse him of violating a temporary restraining order” www.nbcnews.com/politics/pol...

SNAP is not the reason your taxes are high. SNAP recipients don’t need to “just go get a job”. Most of them work. The rest are disabled, elderly, children or caregivers. People need & deserve assistance Your taxes fund wars and tax cuts for the ultra rich Be mad about that

I haven’t seen anyone talk about how Jane Doe - an Epstein survivor - just sued the Bank of New York Mellon for funding Epstein and failing to file a Suspicious Activity Report. A Mellon heir is the one who gave $130M to pay the troops. Seems bribey to me.

OBAMA: “Better’s good… we’re not gonna get to perfect. Do I think single-payer with no profit motive would’ve been smarter? Absolutely.” President Obama tells Maron the ACA was a compromise because he didn’t have the votes for what he really wanted. #MedicareForAll

NEW: Trump meant to send a Truth Social DM to Pam Bondi about indicting his rivals. That sounds like official business, so I'm filing a FOIA for her DMs, plus those of five other cabinet members. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/my-latest-...

We took the freedom of speech away

"Chicago isn't licking boots! No hate no fear. Immigrants are welcome here. All power to the people. No human is illegal. No raids. No deportation. Down with the occupation!" #HandsOffChicago #AbolishICE

AG Bondi, here’s that correction you requested.

The choice we need in healthcare isn’t between insurance companies. It’s between doctors and hospitals. Medicare for All opens that choice for everyone.

The government is in full shutdown and the Republicans are refusing to call the House back into session. Want to know why? Because we have secured the final vote on releasing the Epstein Files and they don’t want it out. Call GOP and tell them to swear in @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social.

1. This is one of the most insane statements ever delivered by a presidential spokesperson in U.S. history. Totally disconnected from reality. 2. There is either going to be a civil war or abject Democratic surrender to autocracy. They are telling this you, to your face, in explicit terms.

Let us in. Hold ICE accountable. Tear down the fence. This is what we are demanding from the Broadview ICE facility, and nothing less. Our leaders can decide whether they stand with the people or with ICE. There is no middle ground.

PM of Albania having a good laugh with President of Azerbaijan and Macron about Trump repeatedly claiming that he ended the war between their two countries which were not at war with each other.

Rieckhoff: A vet on CNN said we haven’t fought to win in 20 years. I said, I was fighting to win. You were fighting to win. Kander: That shit pisses me off. Rieckhoff: He said he meant the generals. Which one? It’s boogeymen—and now cosplay warriors who never served join ICE to bully immigrants.

MADELEINE DEAN: The president is unhinged. He's unwell JOHNSON: A lot of folks on your side are too D: Oh my god, please. That performance in front of the generals? J: I didn't see it D: It's so dangerous! Our allies are looking elsewhere. Our enemies are laughing. You have a POTUS who's unwell.

Shut it down!

I hope it's clear to everyone now that Trump really is going for it - he's trying to become a dictator. I don't know if he'll succeed, but he's working to install himself as an autocrat unaccountable to voters. And he's weaponizing the military against Americans who oppose him as part of that effort

Ted says Marge is crazy.

One person having the power to upend entire industries and economic sectors on a whim every day that puts companies out of business and workers out of jobs with no legislative input is an autocracy, regardless of whether that person initially acquired power through an election.

they know they’re screwing our farmers with the tariffs, the bailout of Argentina, etc 👇🏽🧑‍🌾
