The brave men and women who serve in our national guards must not be used as political props. This is a moment where every American must speak up and help stop this madness.

​I call on Governor Abbott to immediately withdraw any support for this decision and refuse to coordinate. There is no reason a President should send military troops into a sovereign state without their knowledge, consent, or cooperation.

Democrats: Let's support the Ukrainians' defense of their nation, democracy, and prevent a Russian invasion into Europe. Republicans: Let's roll out the red carpet for Putin and side with all the scum of the earth dictators who want to end democracy like we do.

GC is 100% on this take

"Everybody else in the entire world ... (is) watching out there, because they understand history, and they're seeing what happened with Franco ... they're seeing what happened with Hitler — this is how it's done. ... It's time for Americans to wake up. This is serious."

Putin is a war criminal.

General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine 🇺🇦 Another crime by Russia! In the morning, the Russian occupiers struck the city of Marganets in the Dnipropetrovsk region with a suicide drone. An enemy FPV drone hit a bus carrying employees 9 people were killed and 30 more were injured.

So let’s be very clear about this - DOGE isn’t saving America money. It is now among the costliest domestic programs in our history; and certainly the most significant wealth destroying.

🚨 Big SCOOP 🚨 Tax revenue could fall by as much as **10%** this year, per sources, as taxpayers and businesses see the Trump admin as less likely to challenge tax cheats. That'd be **$500 BILLION** in lost revenue. It'd nearly double the tax gap in a single year.

Walz: "I keep saying this -- what is the goal at the end of the day? There's not a single economist who backs tariffs. Linda McMahon -- I bet she's never been in a public school. What is she is gonna do to improve our students' outcomes and lives? There's a vacuum for us to fill."

Walz: "The idea that the secretary of education would not know what IDEA is -- individuals with disability in education act -- that's like your mechanic not knowing how to put air in your tire. And she's in charge of this nation's education progress. It is catastrophic."

I’m sure it’s just my TDS, but I think Trump is proving to be exactly as bad as we said he was going to be and people who acted like we were hysterical should be embarrassed they didn’t do more to try and stop it.

Show this to a federal worker and let them know how many people support and appreciate them.

REPOST if you support our federal workforce and know how dedicated they are to their jobs. Show them you appreciate them!

Elon Musk and Nancy Mace think they are going to scare me and silence me with a censure. They don’t want opposition as they raid the social safety net. Democrats need to fight harder, not retreat. I’m not backing down folks, I’m from Long Beach.

Johnson needs to read Article 1 again. I don’t see anything in there that says the president has a huge amount of discretion over what Congress has authorized. There should be no presupposition that the president has good intentions when he is a convicted felon and has launched a seditious coup.

Adam Cohen (My Personal Views Only)@axidentaliberal.bsky.social

Mike Johnson is totes OK with Trump and Musk doing whatever they want with taxpayer dollars Because when Congress appropriates funding they give the president “discretion” “No Money shall be drawn from the Treasury, but in Consequence of Appropriations made by Law” US Constitution, Art 1, Sec 9

GOOD NEWS FOR DEMOCRACY: Federal judges are furious with members of the Trump administration. Numerous members of this administration are dangerously close to being found in CRIMINAL CONTEMPT OF COURT. Trump may be immune from prosecution, but not the defiant cabinet secretaries, lawyers,…

This is what vengeance & retribution look like! He plans to undo everything that happened in the Biden years. Not because it's good for America but because it's revenge on Biden We are in a cold Civil War and he will ultimately try to stop all funding -- whatever it is -- for all Blue states!

Amazon on Wednesday said it was closing all of its warehouse and logistics operations in Quebec, the Canadian province where unions gained a foothold in one of its facilities, and would lay off 1,700 employees.

So true

This is the stuff they feed the cult to keep them from noticing that the only reason why they wanted power was to stay out of prison, have immunity from prosecution, then use the levers of power to enrich themselves exponentially faster than any group of people in human history.
