He should never find a moment of peace in this nation. He is a traitor to everything we stand for.

The entire town has come out to protest JD Vance and reports indicate he’s been either run out or forced to go into hiding. #3E #EndImpunity #StandWithUkraine

SCOOP: A US Treasury threat intelligence analysis has designated DOGE staff an ‘insider threat'. An internal email reviewed by WIRED calls DOGE staff's access to federal payments systems “the single biggest insider threat risk the Bureau of the Fiscal Service has ever faced.”

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.

Trump hanging his supporters in DC out to dry in favor of an exclusive inauguration where only his inner circle and top donors can attend is the perfect metaphor for this administration and today’s GOP.

Dear Jack Smith, I just finished a great novel and am in need of some good, new reading material this week. Are you able to provide? Please and thank you.

Jimmy's here in Heaven, and let me tell you, it's rare to meet someone who got the 'love thy neighbor' part so right.

BREAKING: Jimmy Carter has died at 100. The 39th president of the United States, who served from 1977 to 1981, was perhaps more famous for the life he led after leaving office — as an advocate for peace and human rights. Read about his lasting legacy.

TRUMP: I’m going to use the FBI illegally to go after my political enemies! BIDEN: Um, I guess I’ll pardon my son then because fuck that. MEDIA: Biden is breaking norms!

They deserve what they voted for, but so many who didn’t are going to suffer the same.

Just sitting here thinking about all those paycheck to paycheck folks who elected a billionaire who put other billionaires in charge of taking shit away from paycheck to paycheck folks, so they can make more billions.

The founders would be disgusted with us all for just…allowing this.

THIS STINKS TO HIGH HEAVEN ‼️ The Trump administration will be vetting their own cabinet and giving themselves security clearances. This is kind of like how police do it: “We investigated ourselves and found out we did nothing wrong.”

House Republicans actually voted today to block the US Senate from receiving their report containing sworn witness testimony and documentary evidence about the nominee for Attorney General of the United States paying a child $10,000 for sex. That’s where we are at.

We left X and joined Bluesky because those against our parks said, “If you don’t like it, leave.” So we did. And now they’re saying, “No, come back so we can say mean things to you—it makes us feel important.”

so is anybody even going to bother to go through the motions of calling for Trump to divest from his businesses this time around, or did we just give up on that one too?

None of this is normal. And none of it should be accepted.

I’m going to say something historians rarely say. We haven’t been here before. We haven’t had a near-authoritarian takeover of our government. Admittedly, we don’t know what comes next. There’s a wide array of options. But know that in the US, this is new ground. And none of this is normal.

Trump’s insane Cabinet picks are meant to shock us. Yes, he’s handing cushy jobs to his most loyal minions, but it’s more than that. He’s prepping the nation for what’s to come. For what he’s going to do next. With each new outrage he moves the chains for what is considered “normal”.

This is unacceptable, it’s not normal and every democrat needs to get loud that any nominee who in any way circumvents the normal confirmation process will be illegitimate and will receive absolutely no recognition or cooperation until they do. It’s time to draw the lines now and hold them.

Seems like if nominees for Attorney General and Director of National Intelligence can't withstand an FBI background check, that's a red flag

150 billionaire families spent $1.9B on the 2024 election through October. It's a huge amount of money — but it represents just 0.07% of their overall wealth. It essentially costs them nothing to drown our democracy in cash. We must get big money out of our politics.
