Part of China’s global domination plan is to fill in the very large voids we are creating by becoming more isolationist. We are gifting them the opportunity because we are so focused on our billionaires first program, that showing the slightest bit of humanity to those in need is perceived as weak.

When your party leader is a president with historically low approval ratings, who has raised prices through tariffs and wars, uses disaster relief and science grants to punish states that didn’t vote for him, and has agents shooting people in the streets, this is what you do.

CONAN: “For the first time since 2012 no British people are nominated for Best actor or best Actress… a British spokesperson commented, ‘Yeah, well, at least we arrest our pedophiles.’" #Oscars

Reminder: All it would take to end the murder of American citizens by an untrained government goon squad is 16 Republicans in Congress voting with Dems to defund ICE (or 23 to impeach and remove Trump — 3 in House & 20 in Senate). That’s it. 23 Americans can vote for the public and end all of this.

AOC: I think there's two things that are happening at once: One, there absolutely is an unprecedented abuse of power, destruction of norms, erosion of our government and our democracy in order to prop up an authoritarian style of governance However, they are weaker than they look…

“Whirlpool, the home appliance giant, managed to tap Big Boi for a special giveaway of five limited-edition front-load washers that play the iconic hit ‘So Fresh, So Clean’ after each cycle.” Oh my god. Sell these to the general public. Please, take my money.

I have to admit that under the circumstances, “I did 15 months in Iraq while you motherfuckers were in middle school” is absolutely a bar

My friend who is an Iraq war veteran was out tonight walking his dog in DC and came up on this scene – with federal agents, including secret service, hassling a citizen and violating his rights while intimidating the public

*Biden tries to forgive student loans* SCOTUS: Whoa there, that is, uh, a major question. Which means you can't do it. *Trump revokes part of the constitution* SCOTUS: Obviously, we got to give the President the benefit of the doubt on this one.

They were supposed to be deporting “gang members” and “criminals.” So far, they have kidnapped people working their day jobs and folks lawfully showing up for their immigration court appearances… It was always a lie.

I wonder if the MAGA people now waking up to the fact that Tucker Carlson was a fraud & con man all along who only cared about himself, who created fictitious personas to shamelessly promote himself to people he knew were rubes, will ever figure out that is also true about Trump?

The idiot governor of Missouri called out the National Guard because the idiot MAGA’s shamed him about all the expected “leftist violence.” Nothing. Not one thing happened except us exercising our 1st Amendment Rights.

Fox hosts, parroting DHS, claimed Sen. Padilla "ran at,” "lunged at," and tried to “bum-rush” Kristi Noem. Video disproves their claims, showing Padilla standing calmly across the room asking his question as security grabs him.

@kaine.senate.gov @markwarner.bsky.social Gentlemen, as a resident of Virginia, I’m requesting you stop voting for nominees, and grind this session of the senate to a complete stop. Today is the day to take back your power. What you do from this moment forward will define and determine your legacy

Imagine having the ability to stop the nearly inevitable steamroller from flattening our constitution…now imagine the Democrats being anchored with that job prospect.org/politics/202...

Grow a spine. If you’re compromised or being extorted then say so. Every single thing you did in service of the nation before does not matter right now. Right now, you need to meet the moment and quit being bullied. You represent us.

There are 2 previous historical cases of countries destroying their science and universities, crippling them for decades: Lysenkoism in the USSR and Nazi Germany. The Trump administration will be the 3rd. It's not just budgets but research, institutions, expertise, and training the next generation.

Three things made the US a rich and powerful nation: the rule of law, its science & innovation system, and openness to foreign talent. Remarkable how Trump has taken a sledgehammer to all three. No enemy of this country could do more.

!! thank you KBJ, she is nailing it on the real shit she's like "you're making a catch-me-if-you-can regime where everyone has to have a lawyer and file a lawsuit in order for the govt to stop violating people’s rights and idk how that is remotely consistent with the rule of law"
