All I see on my Twitter timeline are reporters parsing every quote from AOC in Germany, trying to mock them for incoherence or inaccuracy, while a demented old man who can’t string sentences together or stay awake sits in the Oval, while the legacy media happily sanewashes his quotes.

The same idiots who believed that tv station believed the administration.... It's a classic propaganda ploy....take the people who are believed/familiar to by the masses (GOP) and put them in positions of power...no one (GOP) will question what they do....

The excuse Trump, Vance, Bessent and every member of the admin constantly uses is things are so bad because of what “they inherited.” What about what Biden inherited? Has everyone forgotten Jan 2021? Economy in shambles, global supply chain a mess, global inflation, J6 aftermath.

🔥💯 Jon Stewart's prophecy from 2022: "When a democracy is under threat: comedians are the ones who get sent away first. Authoritarians are the threat to comedy, to art, to music, to thought, to progress. It ain't the pronoun police, it's the Secret Police. It always has been & it always will be."

Swalwell: There's going to be a Democratic majority in just over a year. To the FCC chairperson and anyone in involved in these dirty deals: get a lawyer and save your records because you're going to be in this room answering questions

The fact that Matthew Dowd lost his job for pointing out Charlie Kirk’s hate speech, while Brian Kilmeade openly suggests we should euthanize the homeless and there is zero outrage, shows exactly what is terribly wrong with today’s political mainstream media.

23 people from Fox, from the "Secretary of War" on down. I'm not sure how many hours a day they spend on there, but it seems like a lot. The Ministry of Proganda is disseminating to millions, and a lot of them believe every word. Maybe they'll share Magda's recipe on their website.

Can you imagine if we had instead invested those funds in climate, health care, and education instead of lining the pockets of the military industrial complex?

In the 20 years following 9/11, the U.S. spent over $21 trillion on militarization. Yesterday, the House passed an NDAA bringing us closer to a $1 trillion Pentagon budget. For too long, hawks have used the tragedy of 9/11 to supercharge militarism at the cost of our needs and safety. Enough.

The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns. The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate. Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care. The list goes on and on. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

Cowards. In 5 weeks you'll hopefully be able to pick up where you left off. Don't let them squirm out of this. There is plenty of interest in seeing the evidence

Rep. Jamie Raskin@raskin.house.gov

Right-wing cancel culture run wild! They’re not only canceling Colbert, global relief, the federal work force and their promise to release the Epstein File. Now they’re canceling Congress!

Can't wait to hear what Stephen has to say for the next 10 months. We'll see if the deal gets held up longer, until they are forced to take him off the air early.

First concentration camp opened in the US, Florida, July 1, 2025 Fucking fascist MAGA We must rise up and protest on July 4th

Rogue Citizen One@roguecitizenone.bsky.social

Concentration camps on American soil. Masked agents terrorizing our neighbors and abducting people off the streets to fill them. As if that weren’t horrific enough—some so-called “Christians” are cheering it on like it’s some kind of twisted, dehumanization porn. What the hell have we become?

Bondi just said DHS is helping rid us of criminals from the Sinaloa Cartel, but she failed to mention the asylum she gave to family members of the Sinaloa Cartel. She also said we're ridding the country of MS-13, but failed to mention the asylum she's giving to MS-13 leaders in the Abrego case.

Love is love. I'm so lucky to have found my soulmate, and I'll defend the right of others to try to do the same.

HARVARD WON THIS ROUND! Secretary of Education Linda McMahon wrote a letter to Harvard. The university responded by marking up the letter for spelling and punctuation mistakes- and then shared it on social media. 👏👏👏👏👏👏😎💥

Scanlon: The Gulf of Mexico was so named over 500 years ago. If we want to update that name to reflect our current culture, maybe we should call it the Sea of Emoluments—you know, the place where we can board the Ship of Fools and navigate from a State of Ignorance to the Confederacy of Dunces…

US is going to "walk away" from Ukraine if they don't cede Crimea and other Russian invade territory. The US is probably still extorting Ukraine for its minerals..

(1/4) It was America and Britain that guaranteed the sovereignty of Ukraine and its borders in return for persuading them to give up their nuclear weapons.
