Gonna look back and be proud I was on the Left side of history. It's occurred to me, that the Nazis and Hitler were, initially, elected. Many Germans supported pure evil, to re-make Germany "great". #FBR

America has a demented president running the country and the people who voted for him, or couldn't get themselves to vote for Harris so they stayed home or voted 3rd party, are responsible for this damn mess. Anyone with a lick of sense could have seen this coming.

April 26: Trump tells Fox that his blockade is going to work very quickly to cause Iran to surrender because they have no place to store the oil so their wells are going to explode in 3 days and be permanently damaged.

These "Will the ceasefire hold, after the US blew up six Iranian ships?" corporate media takes are the worst thing I've seen from media in the Trump era and perhaps the most damaging You have never wanted anything the way corporate media wants to sell America on a fake ceasefire

Trump is 30 minutes and counting late to a White House event -- he's so late the jazz group warming up for him ran out of tunes and stopped playing -- but as I type this he is posting Fox News clips on Truth Social, so we at least know he's still among the living.

Rep. John Rose: "Yes, gas prices are high right now, but that's because the president correctly decided we had to stop Iran, so we'll have to endure a little pain here"

Can someone let the AP know that violating court orders is not a sign of "executive power. " It is a sign of contempt, lawlessness and authoritarianism.

Someone remind Trump voters what happens to the market when supply shrinks… F*cking chuckleheads.

As a result of economic collapse in the US due to fascist republicans, MAGA regime and orange felon’s trade war tariffs as well as his illegal war in Iran, Spirit Airlines has shut down leaving over 17K people without jobs. The result of putting a criminal fraudster in power.

Prices at all other airlines will go up due to this loss of competition. The American consumer just keeps getting shafted over and over under Trump. And his supporters ate too stupid to understand. So the rest of us suffer.

Trump is killing the economy. Spirit Airlines is gone. After 34 years, the airline shut down before dawn this morning every flight canceled, every employee out of a job, millions of passengers left scrambling. And the story of how it happened is a direct line back to Trump’s war with Iran.

Trump’s FCC chair now seems to be giving MAGA the green light to physically assault people on cable tv when they are losing arguments

I suspect additional gerrymandering won't be decisive in 2026 — there's a huge wave coming that will subsume dozens of currently-GOP-held seats— but Dems failing to match the GOP tit-for-tat by redistricting NY, IL, MD, CO will make it far less likely a Dem President in 2028 will have the House

Despite creating a billion-dollar franchise - with a new $200M budget Hollywood blockbuster launching in a month - the creator of He-Man's family were unable to afford his dementia and care facility costs, and had to setup a GoFundMe. Mattel gave $5,000.

Cannot stress enough that what's happening now and will accelerate over next few weeks is a big spike in fuel costs paid for by every American that will flow *directly* into insane, unprecedented profits for American oil companies. They're going to be the big winners of this.

Many people interpret the meaning of others’ words by their own intentions when speaking the same words💅🏽 So, when a Democrat says “86” it means “Never mind, cancel it, get it out of here”✋🏽Republicans say “86” and mean “Kill”😡

This is literally establishing a second special code of law just for Alex Jones so he can do whatever he wants. What the fuck are we doing? How the fuck is this allowed?

some late-breaking news on @theonion.com’s quest to take over Infowars: A Texas appeals court just stayed the turnover of the site to the official who inked the agreement with an affiliate of The Onion. This puts the deal in bizarre legal limbo for now. More TK.

Here are some ideas: Expand the court. Impeach Thomas for corruption. Impeach Roberts for allowing the corruption. Enforceable code of ethical conduct. 18 year SCOTUS terms. End the shadow docket. What are yours?

Jeffries says everything is on the table legislatively to deal with the Supreme Court: In the new Congress, we’re going to have to do something about this Supreme Court, and let me be very clear: everything is on the table.

The initial price tag for the proposed White House ‘ballroom’ was $200 million. The price has ballooned by a whopping $200 million and guess who’s now paying for it. What happened to the billions he’s already collected for his pay-to-play scheme? Why hasn’t anyone in Congress asked about this?

GOP says they care about rural America, but their Medicaid cuts say otherwise. Nearly $1 trillion slashed from the program rural hospitals rely on, & now maternity wards are closing just to keep the doors open. Name & Blame Republicans #WhoVoted4This #DV1 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy

Sen. Jim Banks: "The next time we have a Democrat president, they're going to love the big beautiful ballroom that Donald Trump built for them. It's something we can all look forward to. There are appropriations for public funding of it. It is a public building and the White House isa treasure."
