Steph for Democracy

Thou shalt not whine about ‘participation trophies’ for years and then beg others to give you their trophies.

It's now been four weeks since the deadline set by law and they still haven't fully released the Epstein files because withholding exculpatory evidence is clearly what you do when you're "innocent."

Investigating elected officials for speech is not law enforcement but intimidation. If governors and mayors can be investigated for criticizing federal actions, neither elected officials nor anyone else is truly free to speak. #holdfast

JUST IN: AG Pam Bondi deletes a post touting a chart as proof of the Trump administration's success in reducing drug overdoses—after being informed the data actually reflected the *Biden* administration’s record.

If people admire you, they put your name on buildings. If you have to do it yourself, well… that’s different.

Whose inauguration? What?

Holy shit.

The law requires the DOJ to explain every single redaction…right?? Massie and Khanna can’t be happy about this…right??!?

If you’re looking for something to do, start working on overturning citizens united in your state. States control the power corporations have. Take their political power away with a ballot initiative. Here’s how: open.substack.com/pub/robertre...

“I’ve known Jeff for 15 years. Terrific guy. He’s a lot of fun to be with. It’s even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side.”

We are dealing with such corruption in every aspect of our government, I don't know how we undo the damage.

In 2016, Pete Hegseth warned that Trump would pressure the military to break the law and would abandon anyone who upheld the law. They all knew Trump was a threat to lawful command. Their hypocrisy isn't new-it's the whole project.

Sleepy grampy

When I have food that starts looking like this, I throw it out. I suggest the United States does the same.

We say the pledge of allegiance before public meetings at my job. This is what I hear in my head.

Department of Defense Law of War Manual, Sec. 18.3.2.1 states the "requirement" to refuse illegal orders. What’s its key example? Wait for it . . . It’s "orders to fire upon the shipwrecked."

Indeed.

This is why a con man shouldn’t have been allowed to become President! This 👇

Q: Officials say the suspect in the DC shooting was vetted & it came up clean TRUMP: He went cuckoo. He went nuts. There was no vetting Q: Actually, your DOJ IG says there was thorough vetting of Afghans. So why blame Biden? TRUMP: You're just asking questions because you're a stupid person

Post-Thanksgiving musings… after a very MAGA gathering 🤦‍♀️

They are still essential heroes in my eyes. Thank you to our healthcare workers!

If this is true, every halfway decent foreign intelligence service on the planet already has the receipts ….

Trump never had a fan base. He had an army of bots who sold his racism and misogyny and xenophobia to uneducated Americans who took voting advice from bald eagle profiles posting Tweets from Eastern Europe. It’s as stupid as it sounds.

The targeting of Mark Kelly isn’t politics...it’s the sick new normal created by a movement that can’t win arguments, only intimidate. When public servants become targets, freedom isn’t next in line… it’s already in danger. Fortunately, the outrage is intensifying rapidly. #HOLDFAST

I think we need to impeach 6 SCOTUS justices for putting politics ahead of their duty to the Country. Presidential immunity is not explicitly in the U.S. Constitution; it is a legal doctrine that has developed through court decisions over time. It is always up for interpretation

Europe is panicking. Russia is smirking. China is silent. When these three things happen at once, it means the power map is being redrawn. And the U.S. just stepped into a weaker position than it wants anyone to notice.👇👇👇 www.jackhopkinsnow.com

President Criminal arrested the former FBI chief but his case got dismissed because he hired a bimbo he wants to bang as the prosecutor and she had no idea wha the fuck she was doing,

Days since this Administration has not acted unlawfully: 0

A stunning night where the Northern Lights crown the silent winter peaks. 🌌💚

CASSIDY: I know it's titillating, but I think we need to move beyond the titillation TAPPER: This isn't about titillation. This is about the fact that you are the chairman of the health committee and you voted to confirm somebody that by all accounts is actually making America less healthy

If you receive an illegal order, you have a duty to disobey. This isn’t controversial. A President calling for the execution of anyone who reminds service members of this oath is showing us why the duty to disobey illegal orders is so important in the first place.

Who’s the piggy?

Jeffries: I think Rick Scott has some history with medicaid fraud in the state of Florida. So he's no expert on health care. We ain't going to be lectured by Rick Scott about anything, but certainly not affordable health care.

The Senate has agreed to pass the Epstein bill by unanimous consent.

Or just move them to a minimum security Club Fed and give them a puppy and yoga classes.

“Quiet, Piggy” would be fitting for his tombstone.

Odd that the DoJ is opening an investigation into the Epstein files since they said in July that there was no client list and nothing to release.
