This is bullsh*t logic. He's using war as a convenient excuse to throw women under the bus for the benefit of big corporations and billionaires.

I read the “Save America Act,” so you don’t have to. Most of the media apparently *hasn’t* read it because, if they had, they would be sounding the alarm about the provision in Point 1, below, which almost none of them have even mentioned. I hope this summary helps raise awareness. 1/

We’re out here getting shot and killed by Trump’s Temu Mall Cop Gestapo. All we ask of Democrats is a little BACKBONE. Hold the line and vote NO on the DHS funding bill tomorrow. @SenSchumer, we’re watching you. #NoMoneyForMurderers 📞 202-224-3121

Neither Netflix nor the Paramount/Trump/Saudi Arabia group should own Warner Bros. Both deals are absurd - terrible for consumers and democracy. This is a story about corruption - Trump using government power to screw consumers and gain control of the media. A red alert moment.

Congressional investigations are likely the ONLY accountability this administration will face. Bondi won't arrest anyone. US officials can't be tried at the Hague. And even if we get a new AG in 2029, Trump is going to pardon everyone. These midterms are crucial for accountability.

Whoa … this is really strange. Federal law enforcement managed to confiscate almost two tons of cocaine, and arrest 3 suspects, without blowing the boat out of the water or killing anyone. 🎁 link ⤵️ www.miamiherald.com/news/local/c...

Oligarchy (noun): A government of and by a few at the top, who exercise power for their own benefit. Their power and wealth increase as they make laws that favor themselves, manipulate financial markets, and create monopolies that put more wealth into their pockets.

AOC: "On this point of tax on tips, as one of the only people in this body who has lived off of tips, I want to tell you a little bit about the scam ... the cap on that is $25,000 while you're jacking up taxes on people who make less than $50,000 across the US ... while kicking them off the ACA."

McGovern: "A family making less than $50,000 a year? They get less than $1 a day in tax cuts. You can't buy a damn cup of coffee with that. But those making a million dollars or more? They'll get more than $250 a day in tax breaks ... that's how rigged this bill is to benefit the wealthy."

Several guests who attended Trump's crypto dinner last night said they attended with the explicit intent of influencing him and U.S. financial regulations. Trump is selling access to our government to the highest bidder while lining his own pockets. It's all out in the open.

It needs to be drummed out until our ears bleed. Thank you, Chris Murphy.

Murphy: "There's no guarantee that we are gonna have a free and fair election in 2026. He's trying to rig our democracy, to destroy dissent, to cripple the opposition, so that even if his approval ratings are in the 30s next year, there isn't the ability for his opposition to muster a real campaign"

If you voted for Allison Riggs in the 2024 NC election check here to see if your ballot is being challenged. If so, then you have 15 business days from whenever they mail the notices to cure your ballot, but best to check now & cure yours as soon as possible, even if this ruling might get overturned

When I tell students about the realities of pre-New Deal industrial life — where it was so commonplace for workers to die on the job that a Pittsburgh newspaper once celebrated that “only” 127 had died the previous month — they can’t believe it. That’s the world Trump wants us to return to

The fact that everything around us is burning to the ground & some people still have no clue that they voted for the arsonist or are complicit in the arson is absolutely mind boggling. People are ok with it so long as the black woman isn’t their President 🤯. America, we have a problem!

Sen. Booker’s speech was a substantive and moral account of this moment. He did not read the phone book. He did not babble. For 24 hours @booker.senate.gov laid out a detailed, damning, and critical narrative of truth, history, politics, morality, humanity. What will you do?

There is now reporting that the Department of Homeland Security has deported the wrong person due to “administrative error.” This is a massive violation of people’s rights and due process. Must be fixed.

All anti-mask laws—even those with so called “medical exceptions”—stigmatize mask-wearing. Fewer people wearing masks increases the spread of infectious diseases. No matter how lawmakers try to spin it, any law that criminalizes wearing a mask endangers public health. Period.

Remember when Edolf first took over Twitter and anyone could buy verification, but he somehow couldn't anticipate all the impersonations, and a fake blue check Eli Lilly account tweeted insulin would be free and tanked their stock? Yeah, that's the guy who's in your Social Security account.

18 U.S.C. § 793(f) makes it a federal crime to for people entrusted with information related to the national defense to, with gross negligence, disclose it to others in violation of that trust.

Hey reporters, you should be asking Tulsi Gabbard about the Pete Hegseth / Military accidentally texting a reporter foreign attack plans on a non-government server. Really, do your job and confront her with her own words. And when she changes the topic, come back to it.

DoreenG reposted

The first pitch perfect response I have seen from a Congressional Democrat to the signal chat security breach scandal. If your Member of Congress or Senator is not echoing this ask he or she is simply not doing his/her job.

Today, I am calling on Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth and other top officials in the Trump administration to resign immediately due to their reckless and unlawful disclosure of national security secrets. Their actions have put our country at risk, and immediate accountability is necessary
