We have become a wicked country where those in power do horrible, hurtful things for the cheap applause of our worst citizens. Which jobs, exactly, did 5-year-old Liam Tadeo steal from the MAGA Republican cult, Stephen Miller?

We live in a country where some of the best journalists are late night comedians & editorial cartoonists. THANK YOU Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Kimmel, Seth Meyers, John Oliver, Jimmy Fallon, Tom Tomorrow, Mike Luckovich & Michael de Adder ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! #LAUGH_DO_NOT_DESPAIR ✊

Murphy: "Literally in my other ear I'm listening to Ted Cruz on another network explain why this mission is so essential to destroy the nuclear program. I may have to walk over there and tell him the admin is now briefing that getting rid of the nuclear program has nothing to do with this mission."

Any political party spreading lies about voter fraud as a pretext to make it harder for every one to vote is sending a clear message: they can't win on their ideas alone. Remember this.

By who? Who shot the person dead? You saw the video. We all know a federal agent shot a man dead who was prone on the ground. Also, it's not "according to officials." It's according to verified video seen with your eyes. Not saying what anyone can obviously see with their eyes is a form of lying.

His name is Alex Jeffrey Pretti. He was 37 years old. He was a licensed nurse. He was recording ICE and defending a female protester from their aggression. And they executed him.

He sent a message to Norway regarding his perceived (to him) slight—no Nobel—justifying his pursuit of Greenland. Now, in what universe is this not sufficient to invoke the 25th amendment?

There's a madman living in the White House, And a party engaged in denial. The Senate obeys like a lab mouse; He's been getting worse for a while. He swaggers and smirks like a frat boy; He posts like a maniac hack. He's got no more brains than a dog toy. And he talks like he's been smoking crack.

Before the election, I warned that there is no safe haven under authoritarianism. If they can ship Kilmar Abrego Garcia to a foreign prison—accused of no crime, with no trial—they can do it to anyone. Americans of conscience must stand against this now.

The most obvious lesson to draw from the leaked Signal chat is that these people really are morons. It's not a public act, it's not a schtick, there's not some secret back room where they drop the facade. They are genuinely stupid, incompetent people.

AOC is obviously the leader of the Democratic party. The time between now and when that becomes the reality, will very, very likely be more of the same tired appeasement tactics and sad sop losing.

Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House. We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication. They own what happens next.

Spineless Democrats assisting spineless Republicans in promoting fascists doesn't seem ideal.

Elon Musk is trying to make himself king and he is succeeding. Any elected Democrats who are too cowardly to stand up to him should step aside and make room for a candidate with even an ounce of courage.

📌I want to be crystal clear here: Every one of these Democrats who had the audacity to vote to censure Al Green for having the courage to stand up to the vile, America-attacking fascist who is ripping OUR benefits away CAN KISS MY ASS. You are on notice.

Sorry not sorry, y’all. I will never ever never never ever support anything that diminishes trans rights - even if it’s just one tenth of one percent of their rights. Never. Because once you forfeit one tenth of one percent, that becomes 10%, then 100%. Every. Time.

Our stock market is crashing. Our economy is contracting. Our government is dismantling. Our allies are fleeing. Our grocery prices are rising. But at least we now call it "The Gulf of America." So it all evens out.
