They’re not behaving as if they’re in a four-year term. They’re behaving as if they’re in an everlasting dictatorship. Are we all clear on this?

The President of the United States is advocating for arresting the duly-elected Governor of California for his SPEECH He thereafter admitted that the Governor of California had committed NO CRIME—but he still wants him arrested Spend as much time as you need processing what that means for America

ICE was created post 9/11 to combat terrorist threats. If they aren't combatting the number one terror threat to America - Domestic Violent Extremism and white supremacists - then they don't need to exist as an agency.

I don’t know how many times we have to say this, but the U.S. government is not a business and shouldn’t be run like one. It’s a service—for the people.

A lot of government workers go unnoticed—until they’re gone. The problem with letting the ultra-rich call the shots is they don’t see us. To them, we’re disposable… until the day they need clean water, a working 911 line, or someone to put out the fire.

No one experiencing the tragedy of a miscarriage should be arrested, much less abandoned in jail for 5 months with a $100k bond. But that’s exactly what happened to Mallori Patrice Strait in Texas. Women, particularly women of color, in this country are no longer allowed dignity even in extreme loss

Less than half of American private sector businesses - specifically, 48% - offer health insurance to their employees, according to a 2022 survey by the Kaiser Family Foundation. Facts are neat, Rick. Try 'em out.

The same people who say Adriana Smith should stay hooked up to machines so a fetus can gestate inside her dead body for 7 months because “it’s a sacrifice a mother would make” can’t fathom a mother crossing the border with her children in hopes of providing a better life for them.

Historic moment, the brave leadership of the free world gathered as fascist forces worldwide consolidate power, pitting us in a inevitable collision course to determine the future of humanity. To stand with Ukraine is to stand with mankind against the forces of evil. #3E #standwithUkraine

This fanatic is openly talking about fabricating a reason to suspend everyone's constitutional right to due process — and Trump has given him free rein. Is there NO Republican in D.C. who will stand up to these constitutional arsonists?

Donald Trump’s Pentagon nominees can mumble and backtrack all they want, but their own tweets don’t lie. Our military’s loyalty is to the Constitution, not to any politician.

Kamala Harris had a plan to INVEST in small businesses, becuz she believes they’re the heart of the American economy. She wanted to GIVE THEM FUNDING & support. Trump’s plan? Hit them with a 124.1% tariff. CONGRESS HAS THE POWER TO STOP THIS. 📱 202-224-3121

This part. I have no idea why the Democratic leadership won’t just embrace this. Well, I have some idea…but the time has come.

As the wealthiest nation in the history of the world, it is a tragedy that millions of Americans remain uninsured. It’s long past time we right this wrong and finally accept, as a country, that healthcare is a human right.

Scott Pelley criticized CBS News' parent company, Paramount, during Sunday’s broadcast of 60 Minutes, following the resignation of the show’s executive producer, Bill Owens. Paramount is currently in the process of merging with Skydance Media, which requires approval from the Trump administration.

Reminder that words matter. You can’t “deport” a US citizen. You might be kidnapping, disappearing, exiling, expelling, illegally removing, etc., but you’re not “deporting” a US citizen.

Newsom: In 2023, Californians contributed $83.1 billion more to the federal government than we received back. And for your viewers: that other state—Texas—took $71.1 billion more than it contributed to the federal government. California: $83 billion, contributor. Texas: taker.

Wells Fargo has repeatedly ripped off customers, including by opening thousands of fake accounts in customers' names. The Administration is letting executives responsible off the hook by paying just pennies on the dollar. President Trump doesn't care if banks rip you off.

Walz: "This is how government is supposed to work. It's not supposed to be one old man in the Oval Office sending out middle of the night tweets that shock markets into free fall. It's not supposed to be a bunch of 20 somethings unelected and firing everyone. It's not supposed to be chaos."

Trump fabricates a photo of Mr. Garcia with MS-13 tattoo on his hand. This is NOT a real image. Trump and his regime fabricated it. Please understand that Trump regime would fabricate evidence to put you or your family in jail. This is what FASCISM regimes do. www.mediaite.com/trump/trump-...

Also, feminism has shown the way! Subsidized childcare! Robust, paid parental leave. Tax credits! Reproductive freedom. Universal healthcare. Until they make the world better, there is little incentive to have kids (though they are adorable lil munchkins)

According to the Yale Budget Lab, 70% of the benefits from the Republican budget would go to the richest 5%. Meanwhile, the bottom 40% gets stuck with the bill. That's like taking your latest paycheck and dropping it off at the nearest McMansion #BillionaireTaxBailout

Trump wants to be the de facto dean of every university. Deciding what the teach, who they hire, and who gets accepted. Good on Harvard for drawing a line to stand up for the law, their brand, and academics. Respect is earned, and they earned mine.

Larry Tenney@larrytenney.bsky.social

On the one hand, Trump is trying to abolish the Depart of Education On the other, he wants to micromanage a private University telling Harvard who it can hire & admit, what it can teach, and more He wants Harvard to eliminate DEI; yet, give preference to those with MAGA ideology Project 2025

This country is becoming unrecognizable. What we’re seeing is state-funded fear. We’ve warned people: keep filming, go live on social media so these moments are documented and shared. This wasn’t a case involving masked ICE agents—but that’s happening too.

Lose their license for airing a segment that was critical of him…Hello? What are we even doing here America?

Peter Baker@peterbakernyt.bsky.social

Trump says CBS should "lose their license" or at least be hit with "the maximum fines and punishment" for airing "60 Minutes" segments that included criticism of him, the latest example of seeking to use government power to crack down on independent media. thehill.com/media/524748...
