Has Jeff Flake been in a coma?

STEPHANOPOULOS: The Democratic proposal is designed to prevent millions of Americans from losing their health insurance, losing Medicaid coverage, or paying higher healthcare premiums. Why are you against that? MIKE JOHNSON: That's an absurd statement STEPHANOPOULOS: It's a factual statement

ICE are not making our streets safer. Trump is not reducing crime. American citizens are being violently targeted by federally-directed agents and we should not act like this is just another presidency.

JUST IN: A U.S. citizen from Alabama who has been detained twice by ICE while working at a construction site, has filed a class action suit claiming ICE's broad warrantless arrest powers violate the constitution. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

“You were born a boy. If you want to say you’re a woman, fine, but why should I have to go along with your delusion?” Like how we all have to go along living and working with people who will literally die for the idea an invisible man lives in the sky and has preordained our lives?

Where have we seen this before?

Neguse: "I would challenge anyone to make sense of the rantings and ravings you just heard from the president. These are not serious people tweeting out offensive videos last night on Truth Social ... I think it's important for all of us to acknowledge what we see with our own eyes"

WATCH — @aoc.bsky.social : “At some point we’ve gotta call these people’s B.S. for what it is. You can’t believe everything a con man is gonna tell you. We cannot live in perpetual fear of these clowns.” #TrumpShutdown

I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES I know we are “used to it” but it is absolutely insane

I hope it's clear to everyone now that Trump really is going for it - he's trying to become a dictator. I don't know if he'll succeed, but he's working to install himself as an autocrat unaccountable to voters. And he's weaponizing the military against Americans who oppose him as part of that effort

The president just gathered the highest ranking officers in the military to tell them that he may order them to kill American citizens -- and that they better follow his orders. All in response to a series of crises that have no basis in reality. I don't know how to yell any louder.

Veterans, their friends, their families, let's unite. Let's stand up for the country against tyranny. We need them with us, the majority.

I can’t predict the future but the idea that the American military wouldn’t fire on protesters if ordered seems to be the same kind of “it can never happen here” denial that has repeatedly made people look very foolish over the last decade

This current American presidential administration is run by people who are quite obviously mentally ill, and we need to start talking about that.

Hegseth: "It all starts with physical fitness and appearance. If the secretary of war can do regular hard PT, so can every member of our joint force. Frankly, it's tiring to look out at combat formations and see fat troops. Likewise, it's completely unacceptable to see fat generals and admirals."

John Fetterman would like us to know that the way we should greet fascism is to be silent, embrace it, and just let it happen. Tone down criticism of troops in our streets. I have a feeling some of his ancestors might disagree.

A TV talk show chatterbox elevated to Secretary of Defense talking about standards is an undiluted lack of self-awareness.

It’s almost impressive that he was able to say this with a straight face

The UAE obtained access to advanced AI chips after it purchased $2 billion of Trump's cryptocurrency—alarming security experts. When I tried to explain this to a Missouri focus group, I was greeted with blank stares. Finally, after a long silence, one member asked if anyone involved was trans.

Sad, but true.

In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists when unprovoked — what would we call it? If federal agents marched down streets demanding papers — what would we say? Authoritarianism — let’s not pretend it’s something else when it happens in our American cities.

NEW: Rachel Maddow drops unseen bodycam footage of feds coordinating the arrest of Newark Mayor Baraka. I REPEAT: the feds ordered his arrest even though he wasn’t breaking any laws. Federal agent: “We are arresting the mayor right now per the Deputy Attorney General of the United States.”

People of Illinois, we need your help. Get your cell phones out – record what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors. We need to let the world know this is happening – and that we won’t stand for it.

It certainly appears the United States murdered an innocent fisherman who was a husband and father to four children, claimed he was a "narco-terrorist," posted a video of the execution, and then made jokes about it

Pritzker: "In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists & protesters when unprovoked what would we call it? If officials marched down streets harassing civilians & demanding their papers, what would we say? I don't think we'd have trouble calling it what it is: authoritarianism"

Utilities, groceries, health care premiums all going sky high, and he’s blabbering on like he’s Louis XIV in Versailles.

No, he does not. Only himself and his cronies. x.com/gavinnewsom/...

1. More Americans work at the Cheesecake Factory than in the entire coal industry, and that won't change. It's because of automation, not snooty libs. 2. Coal energy is now more expensive than wind and solar. 3. So this means: higher energy prices, more pollution, no jobs benefit. Genius!

One person having the power to upend entire industries and economic sectors on a whim every day that puts companies out of business and workers out of jobs with no legislative input is an autocracy, regardless of whether that person initially acquired power through an election.

Do we say a man is sane when he calls in the military to fight a war when there is no war? If such a man is not sane, do we have a solution to stop the madness if he’s in the White House?

💯

The ultraviolent Big Government fascism will continue until morale improves

Speaker Mike Johnson is REFUSING to swear in Rep. Grijalva in Arizona to prevent the release of the Epstein files. This is LAWLESSNESS. Even if the Dems do win back the House do you all really think this lot will honor such a free and fair election?

Just FYI: Portland as a war zone is horseshit, and deploying federal troops is horseshit.

😕🇺🇸

This is SO important, but gets lost in the chaos of the day… she was FIRED for following the LAW 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼

Pete Hegseth is planning a military coup in the right way by Ezra Klein

Even low information voters should get that it’s not normal for a President to make billions of dollars as soon as they’re in power.

I miss my 50-year streak of not knowing who the Secretary of Health is or anything about them.

Because this administration thinks everyone believes the rules only matter when it helps “your side” (like they do), they are counting on Comey’s unpopularity to normalize this. Don’t let it. Whatever you think of him or his actions in the past, etc. this indictment is dangerous and an outrage.

If you voted for him, you've done this.

Quinnipiac in recent poll asked: Do you think that the way people talk about politics these days is contributing to violence in the United States, or don't you think so? 82% of voters agreed with this including majority of Dems, Independents, and GOP. I said basically this and got fired.
