Conway: This man is violating his oath in myriad ways each and every day. Impeachment is not an option. It is mandatory. It is required. It is morally, constitutionally, and legally obligated.

Ex-Minnesota Governor Jesse Ventura: “We’re a 3rd world country now. I know. I’ve been to ‘em. I spent 17 months in SE Asia while the draft dodger was playing golf… that’s what happens in a dictatorship. In comes the military. That’s what’s happening here.” 🇺🇸

I told my 9 year old son to remember January 6th when our capital was attacked and police officers were hurt badly and some eventually killed. I want him to remember it because we cannot forget history. Kids are exposed to violence from school shootings to all else. Rewriting history is not ok.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 80th day out of the last 92. The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown. It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

BREAKING: Jack Smith is requesting that Congress and the Justice Dept. let him testify in public. In new letters to the House and Senate Judiciary Committees, Smith says he wants to testify "in open hearings" because of "the many mischaracterizations" around his investigations.

The 100 lowest-paying US corporations spent $644B on stock buybacks from 2019 to 2024. Buybacks artificially boost share prices and inflate CEO pay. The typical worker at these companies earned $35k last year. Meanwhile, the average CEO was paid $17.2M See the problem?

It’s super alpha to get all angry about protests and post AI videos of yourself dropping feces on America because you can’t handle your emotions, oh and wearing an oxygen mask like a douche helmet because you’re a fatso

I was so proud of my Oakland, CA friends that I grew up with, protesting on No Kings Day, Saturday. I loved seeing all the costumes, the love, and the peaceful gathering of all types of people. This is why I love Oakland, and this is why I love America. It was a great success!

Trump just posted what looks like an old DOJ memo about President Kennedy’s use of the National Guard in Alabama to desegregate schools in 1963. It’s a gross comparison, given the fact that Trump is basically George Wallace and he wants to use the Guard to invade cities, not advance civil rights.

It seems clear—I think to everyone, now—that a false and illegal invocation of the Insurrection Act is coming before the end of the year. Media outlets should be telling us how they will prepare for this potential Treason. State governments should be telling us. Activists should be developing plans.

All of us have to do more. What's going on is inhumane with immigration, health insurance, an attack on the constitution, an abandonment of anything resembling a functioning congress and a weaponized DOJ! When the R's aren't even capable of negotiations, that's when we have to have to rise up!

I'm mad as hell and also truly proud that women in the Dimond dstrict of Oakland, CA a couple days ago, said their piece in their handmaids gowns in 80° weather, same as I saw in Nevada City, CA a couple months ago. To stand in that heat, with outfits on, standing truth to power was so significant!

Go Adam Shift for giving Pam Bondi hell! I do so appreciate him, especially being from CA. He is a fighter for the truth and all he heard back from her were diversionary tactics and no clear answers on basically anything they were investigating! It was the most contentious hearing!!!! Fawk HER!

Turning the military on citizens. Attempting to rig elections. Toying with the idea of declaring martial law. Attacking political enemies and punishing those who speak out. If this were happening in another country, what would you call it?

Ronald Reagan–appointed U.S. District Judge William Young: “ICE goes masked for a single reason — to terrorize Americans into quiescence… To us, masks are associated with cowardly desperados and the despised Ku Klux Klan. In all our history we have never tolerated an armed, masked secret police.”
