When is the Democratic Party going to grow a pair?

Someone explain to me what Republicans have against ordinary americans.

Laid-off IRS employee said he had voted for Trump: "I thought that someone with his business acumen would have come in with a fine-tooth comb and actually found it instead of coming in with a wrecking ball and destroying people’s lives for no reason." www.nbcphiladelphia.com/news/local/p...

Republicans are going along with stuff AMericans hate. 2026 will hold them accountable. ("More than 8 in 10 oppose the pardons for those who were convicted of violent crimes, and 55 percent oppose the pardons for those convicted of nonviolent crimes")

I hate to say it but I’m kind of glad Canada won the Nations Championship hockey tournament tonight.

National economic blackout day scheduled for February 28. No spending money at big box retailers or fast food places. Support local independent businesses only. join the movement.

We thought January 6 was bad. This is worse. Our country is being torn down. And Republicans are sitting on their thumbs.

You know why Trump wants Jordon and Egypt to take in Palestinians? Because he wants Gaza cleaned out so they can develop the shoreline.

Cassidy Hutchinson should release all those sexually explicit emails she got from Republicans.

Trump is concerned that moms & babies crossing the border are criminals while he is blithely releasing people convicted of seditious conspiracy from prison back into our communities. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

Um. What did I just watch?

What the hell was that salute?

He accidentally did a Nazi salute... TWICE. While talking about the future of Western civilization. He is who we think he is.

Gov. Kristi Noem, President-elect Trump's pick to lead the Homeland Security Department, chose not to deploy South Dakota's National Guard after historic flooding there last year. The move shocked residents after her earlier decisions to spend millions to send troops to the U.S.-Mexico border.

Top-notch photography is often about choosing the right angle and perspective.

This is spot on.

This is who MAGA wanted as the top law enforcement official in the United States.

My expectations were low, but even I did not have the GOP becoming the pro-childhood cancer party.

TERRIFYING: Two Democrats — Marie Gluesenkamp Perez and Kathy Castor — voted in favor of Trump and Musk’s plan to defund programs that help kids with cancer. Let’s put them on blast!

Republicans need to learn that they may be in majority but without democrats they don’t win. Play nice or pay the price.

Thursday newsletter: President Musk flexes his muscles. And chaos ensues... open.substack.com/pub/charlies...

Elon Musk found out his tweets and threats won’t get anything passed. Will he realize lesson learned?

Say three words, over and over. "President Musk's shutdown." Every story of a military family going without presents over Christmas or someone dying due to a critical government service that doesn't happen? President Musk's shutdown. Over and over. Never stop. Humiliate them.

“There aren’t two sides to a lie.” x.com/stengel/stat...

Trump just gave Hershel Walker a 4 year vacation in the Bahamas.

Are we going to have to fact check everything Trump says after January 20, 2025?

The twist is starting.

Biden’s pardon of his son is a big FU to Republicans.

And, of course, that means it's only about cutting *some kinds* of funding. Employees who are troublesome. School lunches for poor kids. Early warning systems for extreme weather. The stuff that helps real people. Save this tweet-it's the future

Why do they hate Dr. Fauci, when the worst thing he ever did was try to keep them alive?

Just a reminder: The Attorney General is not supposed to be the President's lawyer; they're the people's lawyer.

I’m never drinking raw milk.

What is up with all these privileged men who are involved in sexual harassment or actual assaults? The he said she said dilemma always sides with the man, never the woman. Woman are entering a new era of weakness.

The Senate appears to be doing what the American people did not: preventing men who have been credibly accused of sexually assaulting women from taking high offices.

Bullies use threats and intimidation as tools of power. Bullies are scary. Bullies promote fear. So why do we vote in bullies?

Love this. #abortion #prochoice

Frank Bruni: “The Senate is under no obligation to turn the upper echelons of the federal government into the green room of “Fox & Friends.”

Why is everyone so afraid of Donald Trump? There are so many ways to stop him or curtail his actions if the Senate would just find their backbone.

Lee: When Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson was up for confirmation or when VP Harris was added to the ticket, they called them DEI hires. They want you to believe that Harvard graduate with over 20 years of experience is not qualified but Fox personality is qualified to run the DOD

A country that forgets history is doomed to repeat disasters. Kill off vaccines and watch children die from diseases irradiated decades ago. Science is not the enemy.

Isn’t it interesting all the programs Trump Administration wants to cut is going to affect children and marginalized human beings.

This administration is going to prove it’s no friend of working class Americans. Killing off the National Labor Relations Board is the first step towards labor inequality.

The truth is, none of us really know what the next four years will look like. It’s incredibly difficult to predict what happens next. It does not feel good.

BREAKING: House Speaker Mike Johnson announces that male Republicans neutered by Donald Trump may continue to use the men's bathrooms.
