While Trump is busy wasting taxpayer money renaming & rebranding the Department of Defense as the “Department of War” & preparing for “Chipocalypse Now” amid war in the streets of Chicago, can he just go ahead & rename himself “President Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho” already?

ALL these people should resign or be fired, but the buck stops with the president, whose entire political existence has been marked by disregard for proper handling of classified documents & information. He MUST be impeached. As Biden would say, this is a BFD & should be treated as such.

@msnbc.com, please minimize showing Trump on air, if you want to maintain ratings. You can cover what he does without forcing viewers to look at him or listen to his whiny lies. It sickens me every time he appears, and I have to change the channel. Please, give Trump NO air time.

This right here 👇. I’m not a “boycott everything” kind of guy, but this level of hypocrisy borders on making that whole pledge feel like gaslighting. Certainly gives me pause before patronizing these companies. So, boycott away, I guess….

Just a reminder: tech companies giving millions to Trump's inauguration in order to curry favor, after previously pledging not to give to the Sedition Caucus after the insurrection, is the height of hypocrisy.

Brilliant thread. 🧵

Brief thread on how we got here: Since the GOP won control of the House 2 years ago they have not passed a single appropriations package into law. Government has operated at funding levels set by Dems 2 years ago via continuing resolutions every few months. This is not normal.

Au contraire mon ami! If you really want to get rid of the Electoral College, you find lots of allies on the left. The states who’ve opposed that (in the effort to get the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact passed, at least) have all been states core to your support. Set ‘em straight!

You are up to date.
