Nobody can gain admission to the Trump administration without endorsing several lies, starting with the “stolen” 2020 election myth. Good government can simply NEVER be built in a foundation of falsehoods. Never. There is no hope of any positive outcomes.

Needless cruelty is their brand

Disgusting 🤮 #Pinks

George Carlin used to joke that politics is the “entertainment division of the military industrial complex”. I worry that the electorate and media are addicted to the drama of Trumpism. Can we EVER get back to sober, serious policy making? Am I alone?

He didn’t sing about oligarchy, which can do exploitation, war and corruption just as well as pure fascism.

Danish Parliament Deputy Speaker Lars-Christian Brask: "If I could come with some advice, it would be for the Senate & House to start to take control of political power in America because with this erratic & mad behaviour, you have to ask the question, is the President capable of running the US?"

If you think Tylenol is bad for kids, wait until I tell you about assault rifles

Yup

Good idea! I guess you can tell I am >65

Will be interesting to see which news outlets omit his years of violent white nationalism. I'm guessing practically every single one.

The very definition of “special treatment” from the Trump admin for the most notorious convicted child sex trafficker in America. Why? Because she’s protecting Trump.

“Christian Nationalism" is just rebranded “White Nationalism“

We’re eating our seed corn. Not out of necessity but for no good reason other than stupidity.

Twisting legal logic into a pretzel to justify anti-trans hate

Minnesota had BETTER pursue state charges against the assassin. I would not put it past Trump to pardon him, as he does with other violent supporters.

#ProudBlue Every word that Scott Galloway said 👏👏👏👏👏👏 I feel it all to my core. I’ve been screaming this since Trump came down the escalator. Why are we excusing their abhorrent behavior? Musk & Trump are morally bankrupt. Kevin O’Leary doesn’t even know what to do with his face.

Great analogy. Like arsonists seeking cheap thrills, the administration is cutting science funding to bask in fleeting political theater without considering that the damage will last generations, if we are even ever able to recover from it.

Generations of Republicans have internalized one of the key lessons learned from Ronald Reagan: there is no political cost to ignoring the poor

World's Stupidest Man Pauses World's Stupidest Plan, World's Stupidest People Celebrate

Removing highly qualified people from the military does not make our country safer.

Odds greater than zero DOGE is among them

I served. Veterans Day isn’t about ego, branding, or rewriting history. It’s about honoring all who wore the uniform — not glorifying one man’s delusions of grandeur. Trump didn’t serve. He doesn’t get to rename what he never respected. #TuckFrump

this is a nice and important insight.

Trump and Vance yell and trash talk Zelensky while sucking Putin’s dick. That’s where we are at. A century of global leadership vaporized in a month.

History will remember this day— when an American President and Vice President abandoned all we stand for.

Whenever you welcome guests, treat them with kindness, grace and respect. Simple as that.

HOLY SHIT, the Philadelphia Eagles decided to REJECT the invitation to the White House, so I guess I'm an Eagles fan now. FLY, EAGLES FLY! 🦅💪

The termination of 850 Indian Health Service physicians, nurses, and dentists will have a grave impact on access to care for millions of Native Americans. Upholding our treaty obligations is not optional.

I keep saying Dems need to do a daily briefing on Capitol Hill and fill the void, fact check the WH. Hire Pete Buttigeig and give him a staff to do this.

Senator Mitch McConnell, too little too late. GFY.

If a library is on fire, the librarians stay inside & shush the screams of the dying until they themselves succumb to the flames.

Not safe.

Russia is a terrorist state.

Oops 😬

Only Donald Trump has the negotiating skill to get Canada to agree to things they already agreed to under Biden and literally nothing else.

I'm sorry, but "they took over the whole federal payments system, fired the career staff, and won't let anybody see what they're doing" is not a situation in which you wait for more information. It's a situation in which you assume the worst. There's no explanation for it other than rampant crimes.

No one's blaming Democrats for causing this crisis, but yes, many of them are failing to meet this moment. One Democratic senator could bring the chamber to a halt. House Dems can go to fed agencies being gutted by Musk with cameras in tow. Governors can push back. State AGs can bring lawsuits.

Trump wants to distract you from the fact that he gutted the Aviation Safety Committee and ousted the FAA administrator last week. Don’t let him.

Senate Republican promotes ‘education freedom’ with $125M voucher program for private schools kansasreflector.com/2025/01/29/s... Voucher programs force you to tithe to private religious schools while stripping resources from public schools. It's a scam, folks. Reject voucher programs.

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent. Opportunities are everywhere. Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

Nothing like that here. Why not?

While President Trump illegally pauses federal funding from Congress, the Senate must not be business as usual. We do not consent to this lawless power grab.

“We must especially beware of that small group of selfish men who would clip the wings of the American eagle in order to feather their own nests.” ~President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, January 6, 1941
