That Big beautiful bill as passed in the house will add so much money to the debt that it will trigger across the board spending cuts to Medicare. That's MediCARE. thehill.com/homenews/hou...

Trump’s attacks on due process, birthright citizenship, humanitarian aid, and the courts are not “politics.” They are a direct attack on our democracy. Enough is enough – I am introducing articles of impeachment against him.

I'm in Phoenix at the AZ state capitol, showing up to protest the illegal, immoral, Constitution defying Dump dick-tatorship!

It's protest day in America and guess where your girl is Oh that's right at the capitol for the @50501-kansas.bsky.social #NoKings #HandsOff protest Its cold but we're still here & making our voices heard! I'm representing @bootsonthegroundkc.bsky.social & @indivisible.org This is 30 minutes early

50501 Protests in Baltimore city!! Save our democracy💙

🚨NEW: Senator Chris Van Hollen says he was just told by El Salvador’s Vice President that Garcia is still imprisoned because “the Trump administration is paying the government of El Salvador to keep him at CECOT.”💥 This is despite him not being a MS-13 gang member nor being charged with a crime.

Chasten and I are relieved that Governor Shapiro and his family are safe. While we wait to learn more, this much is clear: the targeting of a public official and his family - especially a prominent Jewish official on a major Jewish holiday - is unconscionable and has no place in our country.

An innocent man, picked up by “mistake,” must not be allowed to rot in an El Salvadorian jail. Mr. President. Obey the courts. Obey our Constitution. Bring him home immediately.

I got my money. I'm ready for another million. WTAF. Is he dead yet?

Please share!!! This is getting ridiculous—they just can’t accept a loss. Please help spread the word to North Carolina. The North Carolina Court of Appeals ruled in a 2-1 decision that over 60,000 votes cast in last year’s closely contested state Supreme Court race must be verified and recounted.

This asshole raised prices and ruined your retirement savings, and now he's out golfing for the rest of the weekend.

1) Fox News is for real not showing stock-market ticker during this week's collapse. 2) Its economic news is "strong jobs report." 3) Every time I've checked in today, the coverage has been "illegal immigrants committing new crimes." This is state propaganda, on a par with North Korea or PRC.

This was….five months ago

I'm amazed by how well he's doing!

“The 5 things Pete Hegseth did last week” - Shared classified attack plans on an unsecured commercial chat application. - Denied doing it. - Denied the plans were classified. - Denied the plans were plans. - Attacked the journalist who proved he was lying.

If you don't speak out when people are being rounded up and flown to foreign prisons without due process. No one will be there when they come for you. #fightforyourrights #socialjustice

Dear @aoc.bsky.social, I just heard you say you are willing to come to deep red rural spaces to speak to voters. I can make those introductions for you. Let me know! Sincerely, Jess in deep red rural Missouri

Musk’s status as a “special government employee” limits him to 130 days in the executive branch. However, despite working daily—documented by his own X posts—they claim he only works one day a week, effectively stretching his limit to 130 weeks. This needs to be brought to Congress—please share.

I stand with Ukraine!

He’s not making up: news.bloomberglaw.com/banking-law/... Is this really what y’all voted for? 🫤 💰

Folks: I am NOT affiliated with the group that is using my name to support an economic boycott. Please spread this post, if you would.

Our team reviewed the entire DOGE website. Nothing they have identified constitutes evidence of fraud or corruption—both of which are crimes. Feel free to audit us. The funds were allotted by Congress, and OIGs regularly reviewed expenditures for fraud.

How do we make this happen? @housedemocrats.bsky.social @senatedemocrats.bsky.social

Nearly $7 million has been “apportioned” over the past week to cover DOGE-related expenses.

Do I have this right? Elon Musk - the guy in charge of preventing wasteful spending - dropped $40M on a Super Bowl ad? We could permanently house 800 homeless veterans for $40M. Or provide five million meals to the hungry. Or replace lead pipes in 8,500 homes.

This is disturbing. Musk is unelected and without security clearance. He should not have this access. Call you senators and congressperson and ask them to join Senator Wyden. www.kdrv.com/news/wyden-d...

The USA has had two major plane crashes in the last 4 days. The USA had previously not suffered a major plane crash for 16 years. ‘DEI’ programs have existed for decades. So what was it that changed in the last 14 days or so to suddenly cause so many crashes?

Dems would get much more traction finding and promoting people saying what they know and experience. What has more impact, This man speaking his mind or the Dems speaking “in unison “ ?

Thank you, President Biden!

The next 4 years will be horrific for immigrants. Please follow the steps below if you are an immigrant or send it to any immigrant you know. I’m afraid anyone who just looks like an immigrant will be caught up in this process. RT to share far and wide, please! Follow @nilc.org for more info!

If you’re upset about Michelle Obama’s decision not to attend Donald Trump’s inauguration, wait until I tell you about the time Donald Trump refused to accept the results of the election he lost, plotted a coup & incited an insurrection before deciding not to attend Joe Biden’s.

Mike Luckovich gets it right as he always does

A serious constitutional crisis is taking place in North Carolina where Republicans are trying to steal a state Supreme Court election by disenfranchising 60,000 voters AFTER the count and recount have showed the Democrat won. Please watch and share. www.youtube.com/watch?v=n5yW...

Today is January 6, the anniversary of the felon/GOP’s violent insurrection trying to stop the peaceful transfer of power in the 2020 election! We remember 140 officers who were injured & those who lost their lives due to the attack on the Capitol! Hold all involved in the insurrection accountable!

Dear @ABC, Stephanopoulos didn’t do a damn thing wrong, but now that you’ve capitulated in advance to the spaghetti sauce stained sexual predator he’s saying he’ll sue the Des Moines Register, 60 Minutes & the Pulitzer committee. Because they had the audacity to report the truth.
