Cool that you made him melt down, but you shouldn’t be making ANY deals with the openly fascist far right party. You should be doing what they’ve always done when they were out of power: obstruct. Refuse to work with them. Stop doing anything that furthers their agenda.

He's using our money to buy himself a gift. A billion dollar gift.

Tip O'Neil?

AOC: "On this point of tax on tips, as one of the only people in this body who has lived off of tips, I want to tell you a little bit about the scam ... the cap on that is $25,000 while you're jacking up taxes on people who make less than $50,000 across the US ... while kicking them off the ACA."

Literal cages. Not even metaphorical ones. Literal ones.

He knew *exactly* what he was doing. Such a tool! 😠

Walk without rhythm. It won't attract the worm.

The most important words of our Constitution are the first three: We the People. We have no Kings here, no monarchs, no slaves and no subjects. We the People.

I’ve been saying that I felt Trump’s dramatic escalation in recent days was driven in part by Musk’s emasculation of him last week. I also wonder whether it’s being driven by Zelensky’s profound humiliation of Putin, and Putin lashing out at Trump for not delivering Ukraine to him.

The correct way to connect the authoritarian presence in LA and the Big Beautiful Bill is that the bill gives the government the resources to do this in dozens of cities at once. So if you don't like what's happening in LA, it's coming to your town if the bill passes.

If you need a little hope this morning

The economic harm & human cost of research interrupted (or not started) that'd otherwise provide the basis for life-saving drugs (just to name one example) is "yuge", as Trump might say. And it's not like other countries can make up the gap. Humanity will be poorer, and for what? Owning the libs. 😢

Where's the (sarcastic) laugh-react button, Bluesky? "Well. We're waiting." (Ted Knight character in Caddyshack voice)

Trumpian Projection: Look for it in every major statement or action. It's the tendency to accuse others, usually "godless, communist" Democ-RATs, never mind the fact that many Dems their lives according to the Golden Rule and favor regulated capitalism with social safety net *and* high GDP growth. 🙄

Adding this to my weekend reading list. Thanks for the gift article! bsky.app/profile/cool...

No POTUS can just "set the deal". Countries have other options as trading partners. Will the switch take a long time & cause financial pain? Sure, but why would they trust a man like him not to break tomorrow whatever deal he strikes with them today? And look weak back home? No thanks! #ElbowsUp

BREAKING: Trump's Alien Enemies Act Proclamation is "unlawful," a federal judge in Texas ruled. That judge was appointed by Trump. Ruling: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us... Background www.allrisenews.com/p/aea-inquis...

Watch this and act accordingly, please.

This right here 🔥 “If there was market manipulation, it is a crime. Someone needs to go to jail… I want the documents. I want the Signal chats too, because I don’t trust them — that they weren’t sharing all this information across their Signal chats.” – @repstevenhorsford.bsky.social

This is one way to #resist. It’s at least a start, and my hope is that it’ll inspire others to resist in their own way. All with elections in 2026 and beyond in mind, not just at the federal level but also state and local elections, some of which choose election officials and judges.

i have argued before that MAGA is recapitulating antebellum pro-slavery ideas about citizenship and bodily autonomy. one thing i am also thinking about, when it comes to the rendition of people to a foreign gulag, is the way it is reminiscent of the kidnapping of free blacks for sale into slavery

sir, a second Trump term has hit the economy

(events of the past, say... 3.5 months) 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

Taping this. Cool! 😎

Tonight—Cory Booker is already our Leader.

Yes! Shut down the Senate by exercising your right to speak, Dems. A nation turns its lonely (and scared) eyes to you, with apologies to Paul Simon (not the former U.S. senator, 😝) #Resist

The tongue of a tyrant, indubitably voluble, speaks free of reason or care for his fellow man or long-established institutions governing the world's commerce and scholarly pursuits, but his own self-interest is always top-of-mind. #RIF (Ranting Is Fundamental) or #RIF (Resisting is Fundamental)

Yup! #Resist, and that means not just taking this to court but also turning out in “yuge” numbers to vote for (D) candidates in every election for the foreseeable future. What’s that you say, Dems suck? Sometimes I agree, but here’s the thing. They do still believe in one person, one vote. 🇺🇸

Whine louder, Elmo, we can’t hear you! 🤪 #LOLGOP

Pete Hegseth must resign or be fired immediately.

Simply because they were using the Signal app and NOT proper government systems, ALL involved in that group message were BREAKING THE LAW. At what point will they be held accountable????

This is more like it. Keep it up, Democratic leadership!

Moskowitz: Rather than giving a long speech, I feel like I can just use this. So, that’s a fist, an American flag, fire. From now on, when we do things where we agree, I just hold this up.

Whoa. "Now the debate among national security professionals is over whether the secretary was just incompetent or whether he was drunk. That’s how low this has gone. - Seth Moulton, not pulling any punches

Pete Buttigieg has entered the chat.

Such behavior from a president is un-American. How many protests and phone calls will it take to convince Republicans in Congress that he should now -- finally -- be impeached and removed?

We need new (D) leadership in Washington. Who’s with me and ready to spread this message from now until that changes? If necessary, I’ll keep banging this drum until Schumer and others lose primaries. (Schumer’s not up again until ‘28, so he should just step down now.)

This.

Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House. We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication. They own what happens next.

5 Things Chuck Schumer did this week… 1. Said he’d vote against cloture 2. Said he’d vote for cloture 3. Called republicans bastards 4. Apologized for calling republicans bastards 5. Voted with republican bastards, against fellow democrats

🚨 Everyone needs to call their Dem Senator right now. They are starting to cave. Tell them: 1. Vote NO on Cloture AND 2. Vote NO on the Republican spending bill. Don’t let them pivot to reconciliation. GOP doesn’t need Dem votes on that and they know it. TODAY is the showdown. 🤳🏽: (202) 224-3121

When a Republican tries to "reform" SocSec, it's never in a good way. 🙄

Every time I read a story like this I recommit to be louder and more defiant.

Boston Mayor Michelle Wu at the House hearing on sanctuary cities: "If you wanted to make us safe, pass gun reforms. Stop cutting Medicaid. Stop cutting cancer research. Stop cutting funds for veterans. That is what will make our cities safe." Mic drop! 🎤

What he said about Social Security payments has been repeatedly debunked - so the question isn’t whether he’s lying about this, the question is why. What is this a pretext for? He and the GOP have long shown interest in going after Social Security. What are they going to try?
