"It's just politics." "Agree to disagree." "Family first." For millions of Americans this stopped being just politics years ago. When you watch someone support cruelty repeatedly you stop hearing a policy preference. You start learning what they'll tolerate. #Politics #Trump #Democracy t.ly/0yU3u
Colbert went out with dignity. Trump responded with a 2 a.m. rant, "RIP" warnings to all late-night hosts, and an AI video of himself throwing Colbert in a dumpster. The leader of the free world t.ly/5tCwJ #Colbert #FirstAmendment #Trump #FreePress #LateNight #Accountability
Trump quietly lifted the ban on M-44 cyanide bombs on 245M acres of public land. In 2017 a 14-year-old touched one near his home. His dog died. He survived because of wind direction. Now they're coming back — for ranching profits. t.ly/7J47l #Wildlife #PublicLands #Environment #Trump #Accountability
Alan Chambers ran America's largest "pray the gay away" ministry for years — telling gay people they were broken. On Tuesday he was arrested for allegedly soliciting a 14-year-old boy. The pattern never changes. t.ly/evFLx #ConversionTherapy #LGBTQ #Florida #ChildSafety #Accountability #Hypocrisy
"John Cornyn is a good man, but he was not supportive of me when times were tough." That's it. That's why a 4-term senator just got destroyed by his own president. Loyalty is the only currency left in the GOP. t.ly/9-N5X #Texas #GOP #Trump #Paxton #Cornyn #Democracy #Accountability
Trump Mobile collected $60M in deposits from 590K supporters for a "Made in USA" phone. It arrived 9 months late, likely made in China, possibly a rebranded recalled T-Mobile budget phone, with an American flag that has the wrong number of stripes. t.ly/JlgdH #TrumpPhone #Trump #Scam #MadeInUSA

Tennessee split Memphis into 3 districts. Nashville into 5. The Republican sponsor said it was to "maximize Republicans' ability to win 9 seats." That's not representation. That's a confession. bit.ly/4v0bu8B #Gerrymandering #VotingRights #Tennessee #Democracy #Memphis #Accountability #GOP
Mike Johnson says Congress can't make ends meet on $174,000/year. That's $159/hr for 136 working days. The federal minimum wage is $7.25/hr. $15,080/year. He won't bring a minimum wage vote to the floor. bit.ly/4tEqdox #Congress #MinimumWage #MikeJohnson #Hypocrisy #Democracy #Accountability
