Imagine having the honor of being elected president (not to mention getting elected as a convicted felon) — and then being such a corrupt, ethics-shattering pig, betraying the rule of law & ripping off the taxpayers. Imagine being in Congress & enabling all this. Now imagine voting them all out. 🇺🇸

This is good, from Hakeem Jeffries. More of this please, in every conceivable forum: "Sycophants who aid and abet the President’s vengeful schemes will not be able to hide from the serious legal consequences of their behavior. They will be held accountable."

This is what tyranny looks like. President Trump is using the Justice Department as his personal attack dog, targeting Attorney General Tish James for the ‘crime’ of prosecuting him for fraud—and winning.

Yet again, Trump is grossly abusing the criminal justice system by directing an unqualified political lackey to indict his adversary. Let’s be clear: this kind of corruption is how authoritarians become dictators. And this is also on every Republican who doesn’t speak up.

Days after prosecuting James Comey, Trump’s Justice Department just indicted New York Attorney General Letitia James. None of this is normal. If prosecutors can’t even do their jobs without facing prosecution themselves, none of us are safe from Trump’s overreach.

America dumped kings in 1776 and we’re not going back now Text NOKINGS to 63033 to find a peaceful October 18th No Kings Day protest near you.

Turning the military on citizens. Attempting to rig elections. Toying with the idea of declaring martial law. Attacking political enemies and punishing those who speak out. If this were happening in another country, what would you call it?

Hmm. We were still fighting in Afghanistan during Trump’s first term. How come we didn’t win “easy” then? Why did Trump sign a one-sided agreement with the Taliban that allowed them to take over?

I think the majority of American Jews have got this right. 🇺🇸🇮🇱 www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

To America’s great detriment, Republicans control: - the White House - Congress - the Supreme Court. This is Republican governance: sabotage, plunder, corruption, and repression at every turn. And now Trump has again shut down the government. Republicans own this.

Never before has an American president so waged war on the American people. And he can only do this because of the complicity of the Republicans in Congress and on the Supreme Court. Putin and Xi cannot believe their good fortune.

Corruption unparalleled in American history. Cuts and shame for the American people, more money for Trump and his cronies…

Earhart ✔️ Epstein ….

So much of Trump’s sabotaging of American government and our economy would not be happened had the Supreme Court not been hijacked and filled with these shameless, complicit Republican appointees. First step, reclaim political power. Next step, reform, reform, reform to reinvigorate our democracy. 🇺🇸

Trump demands that Microsoft fire Lisa Monaco. Anybody from the party of small government have an issue with this or nah?

The Republicans have majorities in both houses of Congress so there's a "way out" of a government shutdown if they can only get their shit together. This isn't on Democrats, at all.

This is, without any exaggeration, exactly how Putin and Orbán proceeded — using antisemitism to discredit the idea of civil society and political opposition, and as an excuse to undo the rule of law. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/25/u...

Such an embarrassment for the US to have this corrupt, demented, nasty man the current face of America with all we should be standing for.

Pressure works. ABC/Disney bought into the image of Trump as all powerful, but they found out pretty fast that everyday people hold a lot of power, too. An attempt to subpoena FCC Chair Brendan Carr is being blocked. Tell your representative to demand an investigation into government censorship. 👇

Trump is destroying America’s economy as well as our democracy. And Republicans in Congress and on the Supreme Court are complicit in this sabotage. Businesses (and voters!) should push back -- now. www.cnn.com/2025/09/22/b...

If our laws depend on Trump’s voluntary compliance — and Congress won’t lift a finger to defend the laws it has passed — then the president is unleashed. We are left to the whims of a man who cares about only himself, a man who is willing to discard any law or standard to satisfy his lust for power.

Yes. Trump's corruption and authoritarian flouting of his oath to uphold the Constitution and faithfully execute the laws could be stopped now if even a handful of Republicans in Congress fulfilled their oaths and defended our democracy. This sabotage of America is on the entire Republican Party.

Great piece. A reminder: if you’re a journalist who is not using every word you write to raise the alarm bells on Trump’s attacks on democracy, you’re not doing your job.

There is no world in which it is normal for the president to publicly call upon his attorney general to hurry up and prosecute his political foes. It’s like the Watergate tapes but posted on social media. Let’s get a grip on what’s happening here.

Traitorous Trump spews out yet another (lawless) way to harm America. Trump’s US will no longer be a magnet for talented people who enrich our society and economy. Putin and Xi can’t believe their good fortune.

He's always ranting about criminals. But that's projection. They are actually in The White House - and he's one of them

However you define political violence, the right is responsible for more of it. The Anti-Defamation League (hardly a left-wing org) found that all “domestic extremist-related killings” in 2022 were done by right-wing extremists, the vast majority (84%) white supremacists. trib.al/SaMpxtS

Ridiculous. He tried to steal his election to remain in power just like Trump, so of course Lil Marco stands up for the coup leader. But the fact that this is the official position of the United States is disgusting.

Turns out it is possible. www.nbcnews.com/world/brazil...

I disagree with most of #CharlieKirk's positions, including his support for the flood of guns endangering all of us as well as our democracy (see below), And, of course, I unequivocally condemn his shooting (and today's other school shooting shortly afterwards). www.newsweek.com/charlie-kirk...

I’m looking to talk to people in the Pittsburgh area who would like to own a home but for whatever reason are not able to. Get in touch here: t.co/UfVfy41Pax

What a traitor Trump is… not just to American security and values such as the Four Freedoms, but to good government itself — what FDR called the “greatest single instrument of cooperative self-help” and a democratic check on power and wealth grabs by the likes of Trump and his oligarchic backers.

Not only corrupt, not only traitorous, not only nasty, not only mendacious, not only destructive...but also embarrassing. America deserves better than this. We all do.

The freedom to marry was never just about law, but about love — and life dreams. Ending the exclusion from marriage was and is something to celebrate and defend. ❤️

When pro-democracy forces retake power in the US, and constitutional order is restored, there must be a ruthless effort to root out the authoritarian and anti-constitutional actors from the government and bureaucracy. Criminals at ICE and DOGE must be prosecuted. Bove must be impeached.

Retaliatory investigations are a favorite tactic among authoritarian leaders. @ianbassin.bsky.social explains why:

“We must reclaim political power, boost education in civics and cooperation, elect people who make government work for all Americans, and continue to tell our stories and increase empathy and respect across differences." loveincmag.com/the-playbook...

When you attend a funeral, It is sad to think that sooner or Later those you love will do the same for you. And you may have thought it tragic, Not to mention other adjec- Tives, to think of all the weeping they will do. But don't you worry….

#TomLehrer lives on in my mind (where his lyrics and patter have long been making near-daily appearances). A lifelong influence and delight. 🙏 tomlehrersongs.com

To build a truly representative democracy, we must fix this broken Court.
