Every accusation is a confession. This man is saying he wants to do whatever the hell he wants with your kids. Because he has. For decades. Release the #EpsteinFiles

Trump: "They want to cut your children. It's unbelievable what they do. Your son leaves as Jimmy and comes home in three days as Janet, and they don't even ask you. They can take your child out of school and do whatever the hell they want. Minnesota is one of those states."

"An embroidered globe made in 19thc US when girls were allowed at last to learn geography. The school couldn’t afford globes so the girls stitched their own, sewing down the boundaries of their New World. The globes were only 5” high" via @ sewingmatters & @ Sirensongs #womensart

Look at the shabby state and increasingly authoritarian trajectory of the country and ask yourself if we can endure 2 more years of a lawless Trump administration wreaking havoc with no check from Congress, then vote accordingly. This is not the time for a protest vote or purity politics.

The President of the United States is a malignant narcissist who is losing his mind. Please invoke the 25th Amendment before he lets Iran nuke us.

Trump: "I could've done very bad things to Hillary Clinton. I could've done very very bad things to Joe Biden. I could've done very bad things to Barack Hussein Obama ... I can do whatever I want, if I want."

I was told I was an alarmist when I said that Trump would try to turn the USA into Russia and accidentally start a nuclear war. Well, they almost started a nuclear war with China using AI And today they launched state run TV after defunding PBS and NPR.

Effective rage of military snipers is up about 2000 meters. This covers not only the Memorial Circle, but extends across the Potomac River into the Lincoln Memorial, Reflecting Pool and parts of the National Mall.

The most frequent area for civil demonstrations in the history of the USA. Hundreds of protests have passed through these areas over 250 years. Should he do something to mess with the 2026 elections, this would be a likely site for more protests.

While I’m sad for the Obama family and the loss of their friend, I’m also sad for the reminder that the USA used to have leadership made up of good, decent dog-loving people. RIP Sunny. May you chase as many squirrels as you want over the Rainbow Bridge 🌈 🐶 ❤️

“WE HAVE TO SHOVE ACCOUNTABILITY DOWN THEIR F***ING THROATS.” 🔥🔥 Katie Phang delivers a fiery sign-off on today’s episode of Sidebar with Katie Phang: “I don’t want any of you to ever think that we can’t get through this. But I want us to thrive, not just survive.”

Did you know if we add four seats to SCOTUS in 2029, we could bring back the charges against Trump for January 6? They could overturn the immunity ruling and consider tolling the statute of limitations for the duration of Trump’s presidency. We could also resurrect the classified documents case.

Real Question to Lefties with Purity Tests: What do you do when none of the Republican or Democratic candidates on the ballot pass your test and how does that advance your primary issue? For instance, in the primaries, I vote for the candidate I really want in the hopes they can run in the general.

But in the general election, I vote for the lesser of 2 evils I never, ever don’t vote because that is like taping my own mouth shut. The lesser of two evils is more easily swayed to my perspective, like Obama was on gay marriage But the greater of two evils is an unmovable boulder in my path

We & the media are NOT talking enough about how a Florida grand jury found that $10 million was funneled from a settlement intended to benefit Florida taxpayers to Ron DeSantis’s wife’s illegitimate “charity” (that never registered with the IRS), where it was laundered before it got to the FLA GOP.

One thing that's been bugging me today: people who claim Dolly Parton wasn't political. False. She was very political. Her art and life's work were about interrogating power + amplifying the powerless. You only think she wasn't political because she did this by example, not bullshit slogans.

2 US courts have already placed an injunction to prevent implementing these rules. Trump’s USPS is doing it anyways, without waiting for the final SCOTUS ruling. If people and Federal institutions can just ignore court orders, you are no longer living in a democracy.

🚨BREAKING: The US Postal Service announced late Friday night that it intends to move forward with its final rule on changing how mail voting is administered. The new rule was created to enact Donald Trump’s executive order, which seeks to restrict mail voting. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Newsom: "That $400m Qatari plane? That's not a $400m gift. It cost you $936m. That was what was appropriated as he's cutting food stamps and cutting your Medicaid. He put a billion dollars in the Pentagon budget to retrofit his private plane because that's going with him after the presidency ... "

Trump can make up a lie about an ordinary person and sic the entire weight of the US federal government on them Sure, the courts will (probably) end the case, but the prosecution is the punishment. It takes money and time away from your job to defend against false charges That should scare you

The President of the United States is a liar. His lies have been debunked by his own hand-picked team of investigators He will use lies to cling to power and avoid accountability, then use violence to shut us up What will YOU do when that happens?

While I am sorry for his loved ones who will miss him as a person, for me, Senator Graham’s legacy will forever be as an ambitious traitor to his stated values. For the rest of the Republicans, it’s never too late to do the right thing #8645

Fun fact: Biden’s Student Loan Forgiveness plan would have cost about $300B over 10 years.

In summary: the entire War in Iran was pointless. Iran is now stronger. We are not safer. Our service members died for no good reason. And Trump is now proposing a $300B fund with our money to the Iranian regime, so that he can end his colossal embarrassment.

As this Memorial Day comes to a close, I wanted to take a moment to remember those who gave everything so that we can continue this great experiment. And to remind us of the debt we owe to the families of the fallen and to those who have returned. We owe them more than autocracy.
