RIP Lindsey Graham. How broken is our political system that Graham can receive the praise and respect that he has from Dems when much of his rhetoric was poisonous, disingenuous, and mean spirited? Is that simply what is expected of our politicians now? 'He was a good guy and collaborator.' What?!

What has made America great has always been the American people. Those who work, even against seemingly insurmountable odds, to do their part to create a more perfect Union. We are America—and America is ours to shape. Don't forget it. Happy Fourth, and happy 250th. #WeAreAmerica250

Plenty of happy, patriotic Americans are single, child-free, atheist, LGBTQ+, or members of other religions. America is strongest when everyone is free to pursue happiness on their own terms.

Listen... I have been angry damn near every day of this evil bastard's presidency... but I have NEVER been more motivated to take to the streets again than I am over this bullshit. Everyone should be! Locked and loaded with really powerful signs!

the biggest challenge for the Democratic Party is the group of gormless centrists who believe the most important constituency is pundits

It’s very funny to include the “far left” here when the DSA mayor of New York City just ran an entire campaign on affordability and making cities work while his main opponent ran on Israel, a country almost 6,000 miles away

Heads are going to explode 💥 Cato Institute just nuked the lie. Immigrants have cut U.S. deficits by $14.5 TRILLION since 1994, slashing the national debt by a third. All that “immigrants are bleeding us dry” noise? Absolute bullshit. 1/3

Down with them all! The Democratic Party no longer serves the interest of the people. This isn't about politics anymore... it is about right and wrong. 90% of DC will choose wrong when politically expedient.

it doesn't matter if you don't want to have this fight, it doesn't even matter if it's not politically optimal to have this fight the fight is here and sitting it out is not an option if you can't see that get out of the way

🚨ICE violently dragged a U.S. veteran out of her car near Minneapolis ICE: Get out of the f*cking car! Vet: You know I'm a Marine Corps veteran? ICE: I don't care what you are! [ICE drags her from car & then points taser at passenger] ICE: "F*cking move I'll f*cking taze you!"

When a politician says: we’ll deregulate health insurance and send you a “freedom account” check, ask: freedom to buy what? If insurers don’t offer real policies or can cherry-pick only healthy people, that money is a coupon for a store that’s not open.

Unlike you, I can read and that’s why I know what the constitution says.

Trump on Ilhan Omar: "I look at somebody who comes from Somalia...and she comes in and tells us how to run our country. 'The Constitution says this, the Constitution says that.' The whole thing is crazy."

Being awful to Americans who honorably served the country for nearly two decades, just to be bigots.

This is absurd and atrocious. Imagine sending someone to a brutal jail by mistake and officially acknowledging that, and then doing nothing to redress the matter. How cruel is that? How depraved is your soul? How uncaring and mean-spirited must you be? These are broken people who feast on hate.

Trump is asked if he’s planning to ask Bukele to return Kilmar Abrego Garcia & Trump punts to Pam Bondi. Bondi claims it’s “up to El Salvador if they want to return him – that’s not up to us. [SCOTUS] ruled that if El Salvador wants to return him, we would ‘facilitate’ it, meaning provide a plane.”

Something my mind cannot stop thinking about is that in the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the Trump admin ADMITTED that he was wrongfully deported and they they still are fighting as hard as they can to not bring an innocent man home because it will make them look bad.

This is the best, most straight forward critique of this administration on tariffs that I have seen. 100% spot on! Well done @repstevenhorsford.bsky.social !

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Rep. Steven Horsford to Greer: "So the trade representative hasn't spoken to the POTUS about a global reordering of trade, but yet he announced it on a tweet? WTF! Who is in charge? It looks like your boss just pulled the rug out from under you. There is no strategy ... is this market manipulation?"

i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or “controversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country
