This is not “America First”

Donald Trump is telling his DOJ to prosecute people involved in defeating him in 2020. He will claim the 2025 California referendum was fraudulent. He is going to try to impose voter ID and ban mail-in and early voting for 2026. I will do everything I can in the courtroom and in public to stop him.

This POS, Timothy Mellon is heir to bank BNY Mellon, and just ‘donated’ funds for military pay. FYI, he is also being sued for his and BNY Mellon’s role in #EpsteinTrafficking Expensive pardon or birds of a feather should go fuck themselves and fall out of the nest together?

House Republicans are afraid to do their jobs because they don’t want to swear in Congresswoman-elect Adelita Grijalva, who would be the final person needed to force a floor vote on the Epstein files. Swear her in. Stop the Republican shutdown. Release the files.

This!!!!!

Gallego: "It's murder. It's very simple. If this president feels they are doing something illegally, then he should be using the Coast Guard. If this is an act of war, then you use our military and then you come and talk to us first. But this is murder ... it's disgusting."

He got the Speaker he wanted - a cuck who will sit in the corner and let him do whatever he pleases whenever he wants.

Doesn't seem to have occurred to everyone yet that the US Congress may never reconvene.

Air traffic control isn’t getting paid. VA doctors working without pay. Farmers going bankrupt due to tariffs. SNAP/WIC benefits about to be cut off. Health insurance premiums slated to skyrocket. But sure let’s build a $300 million ballroom & bailout Argentina. Where are the ads?!

Don't forget — they're not just buying a ballroom. They're buying Trump's favor. [Cartoon by Mike Luckovich]

Test run for 2026. Here's what I wrote in the NY Times about the federal government potentially interfering with the 2026 elections and what we need to do about it. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/20/o...

It’s been 33 days since @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social won her election, and she still hasn’t been sworn in. Do your job, Speaker Johnson.

Why are we allowing a private entity to buy our military (and loyalty)?

Our military is being paid by an anonymous donor. Our WH East Wing was demolished for a ballroom - paid for by donors. These aren’t acts of benevolence or patriotism. This is the oligarchy assuming control, insidiously becoming part of how we function. Every American should reject it.

State Supreme Court races used to be sleepy affairs that hardly gained much national attention. Now, they’re peaking the interest of right-wing groups who want to use them to influence people into voting for measures that advance their own agenda. https://bit.ly/3JeB3Ax

Has anyone confirmed that the priceless items in the East Wing were moved out before he demolished it?

Your regular reminder that we desperately need to overturn Citizens United and get big money out of politics. It is among the worst Supreme Court decisions in history. It corrupts our political system every day.

In a win for voters Friday, a federal appeals court rejected a right-wing effort to revive a Republican bid to block Pennsylvania from counting undated or wrongly dated mail-in ballots.🥳 www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

So now our military is in the pockets of a private donor? This can’t be allowed. The government needs to pay the military, shut down or not. Not private citizens that can influence them. ground.news/article/anon...

Sounds like he still wants that Nobel peace prize. ground.news/article/us-m...

No words.

We need more people in the movement against dictators and oligarchy.

🚨U.S. inflation rises to 3% in September as prices increase at the fastest rate since January. The White House says they will likely not release October’s inflation data next month, blaming the shutdown.

📌Jack Smith signaling he is ready to publicly go on the record with his findings into Trump's violent attack Jan. 6; Virginia being heard from on gerrymandering; Obama speaking on the urgency of standing up for our Democracy ... 📌The battle for America has been joined in earnest the past 24 hours.

This metaphor is a little too on the nose.

BREAKING: Jack Smith is requesting that Congress and the Justice Dept. let him testify in public. In new letters to the House and Senate Judiciary Committees, Smith says he wants to testify "in open hearings" because of "the many mischaracterizations" around his investigations.

Democracy requires decency. Our democracy is devolving because we neglected to demand common decency of the most powerful individual in our country; the President.

ICE agents boxed in Illinois Rep. Hoan Huynh’s car in Chicago, pointed a gun at him and staff, and threatened to break windows after he warned locals about nearby ICE activity. This isn’t enforcement... it’s intimidation.

Sounds like the perfect ICE agent.

Standing up to a wannabe dictator is patriotic. Protecting health care for Americans is patriotic. Defending workers who make our country run is patriotic. Saying no to troops occupying our cities is patriotic. Peacefully protesting to protect our democracy is patriotic.

Things like this keep happening.
