Block Trump from speaking in parliament during his state visit. Sign the petition to stop this national embarrassment:

Over the weekend J.D. Vance decided to try to unleash his idiot followers on me because I called him the 'worst VP in modern history.' I stand by the statement and find it all so very dumb. Check out my take on it all and subscribe!

Hi, BlueSky. It's Hillary. I've joined up here to help get the word out about an important election in Wisconsin tomorrow, and other ways to defend our democracy against those who think votes can be bought.

Sorry folks my dog needs a walk so see you all later. We’re off to the beach

He’s dancing on the grave of the DOJ Takeaways from Trump’s airing of grievances at the Justice Department - CNN

Wait. Schumer is starting a BOOK TOUR THIS WEEK?!? Is that why he rolled over so fast?!? I’m done.

Last week they censured one of their own for standing up to Trump. This week they changed their tune at the 11th hour and gave Trump/Musk a blank check CR to further dismantle the government. What will they do next week to show us who they are?

History repeats itself

Ten Democratic Senators rolled over and gave up to Trump. Are YOU feeling like giving up too?

AOC speaks for me.

I'm not going to sugarcoat it. Today was a bad day for our country – and for the Democratic Party. Let's talk about it. open.substack.com/pub/schiffno...

It is so depressing to see all these Democratic senators cave as Trump is threatening his political enemies over at DOJ. Norm Eisen, CNN, MSNBC, that's all I caught but that was enough.

Senate Democrats joined Republicans Friday on a key procedural vote to advance a bill that would ultimately avert a government shutdown at midnight, despite intensifying pressure from across the Democratic Party to block the GOP’s funding measure. Read more: cnn.it/3FxSidU

Use your weekend wisely learn Russian and follow the rules.

These are the senators who collaborated with the GOP. Schumer Fetterman Cortez Masto Durbin King Shaheen Gillibrand Schatz Hassan Peters Don’t let them forget it. No peace for them.

OMG 🤦🏽‍♂️ @schumer.senate.gov : “This is the fight the American people need to see.” Worse than not being a fighter, he just doesn’t get it. This is so bad. Watch.

James Taylor & Carole King - (BBC In Concert, 11/13/71). “You’ve Got a Friend”, was first recorded by King and included on her album, #Tapestry (1971). James Taylor’s version was released as a single in 1971, reaching Number One on the Billboard Hot 100. #jamestaylor #caroleking #youvegotafriend

It is one thing to watch a dictator grab power. It is another to hand it to him. I’m headed to the Senate floor now. To cast an emphatic “no.”

Kill the bird. Save the world.

Just FYI

Let’s say a Russian asset became the U.S. president and the entire world knew it. What would happen?

While Trump has always been a pathological lying completely unreliable scumbag grifter ... he's now making the United States look like completely unreliable grifting scumbags, who don't even obey their own laws. #IStandWithUkraine

The market is tanking, Trump just launched a trade war, we told Cyber Command to stand down against Russia, Trump is rolling out a massive crypto scam, and drug dealers have started selling eggs because the profit margin is better. You aren’t distracting us with culture war BS.

I'm looking forward to catching up LIVE with Stephen Colbert tonight. Feels like there will be plenty to discuss! Tune in to the Late Show at 11:35 pm ET.

And let the #Tariffs begin !!! 🙊🙉🙈 #AmericaFirst 😬

Trudeau: I want to speak first directly to the American people… your government has chosen to do this to you. Your government has chosen to put American jobs at risk. They have chosen to raise costs for American consumers on everyday essential items…

Whilst we all want peace for the Ukraine it cannot be at any cost given the amount of deaths caused by Russian forces. They clearly need ongoing support to ensure peace continues. Zelensky describes Oval Office meeting as ‘regrettable,’ says he is ready to negotiate peace - CNN

Two passports is the maximum allowed worldwide so it’s going to take more than a presidential order to rectify this situation. He’s currently breaking the law and could be arrested on arrival at any other country. Don’t tell him 🤞🏼

We have lost one of the true giants of the screen. Gene Hackman could play anyone, and you could feel a whole life behind it. He could be everyone and no one, a towering presence or an everyday Joe. That’s how powerful an actor he was. He will be missed, but his work will live on forever.

I’m devastated to hear that Gene Hackman, his wife and dog have been found dead in their home. I knew Gene and his death is shocking news. RIP 🙏🏻🤍🕊️😔

Shocking news to hear that both Gene Hackman, his wife and their pets are dead. He was a personal friend and I am deeply shocked by the news RIP 🙏🏻🕊️🤍 Gene Hackman and his wife Betsy Arakawa found dead at their home - BBC News

More than 230,000 Canadians have signed a petition asking the country’s prime minister to revoke Elon Musk’s citizenship and passport, accusing the tech billionaire of joining a “foreign government that is attempting to erase Canadian sovereignty.”

I was willing to give this new US administration the benefit of the doubt, particularly on foreign policy and the war in Ukraine. But siding with Russia, Belarus and North Korea to oppose a UN resolution condemning Russia’s illegal invasion of Ukraine defies all common sense...

For the US to side with Russia and North Korea to oppose a UN resolution condemning the illegal invasion of Ukraine defies all common sense and adds insult to the countless injuries suffered by the brave Ukrainian people. edition.cnn.com/2025/02/24/p...

A newfound RESPECT for @maddow.msnbc.com for keeping it real about what’s going on at MSNBC and how she really feels about it. She didn’t have to say this, but I’m so glad she did. Take 2 minutes… (1 of 2)

Biodiversity is the backbone of resilient farming. In Uganda, farmers use indigenous seeds, beekeeping and agroforestry to protect crops, improve yields and restore ecosystems. @FAO.org is supporting them to scale up these nature-based solutions 🔗 https://buff.ly/4kaQFTo #COP16Resumed
