I am kind of astonished at how muted the reaction has been so far in a country were people try to get, like, gas stations declared as historic landmarks. Can we at least get Mike Johnson on camera claiming he hasn’t seen these pictures? Or doesn’t know where or what the White House is?

Chris Murphy: "There's a lot of history that has taken place in the East Wing & it was just destroyed without any conversation in the public, without any consent of Congress. It's absolutely illegal. That visual is powerful b/c you're watching destruction of the rule of law as those walls come down"

So Trump bulldozed a third of the White House complex. And they’re trying to keep the photos off limits.

This is 4chan stuff from the Vice-President of the United States. Bottomless disrespect for the people in the institution he is meant to serve. Contemptible.

i imagine there’s about to be an influx of MAGA chuds spewing their bullshit but i really can’t stress enough that if we don’t give them oxygen, they’ll get bored and leave. block early and often.

the president using the office to punish americans that didnt vote for him should really be one of the biggest scandals in americas history

no they're LITERALLY exaggerating this issue. there is absolutely no data backing up their claims. ffs just say that!!

The winter Olympics we actually want to watch.

I will not back down. Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power. What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?

These people are evil. Never stop saying so. Don’t be intimidated into shutting up.

eventually politicians need to start advocating for criminal and civil penalties for people involved in fabricating stories to get citizens incarcerated. or, put another way: a society that would like to keep functioning has to discourage baldfaced lying, especially by authorities

Pretty clear Stephen Miller, Noem, Hegseth and Trump are trying to provoke a Civil War at this point. What's interesting is they want to do it now, because even though they're unpopular, they seem to believe this is the most popular they'll be ever again. We can't let them win.

"Fuck ICE" is a patriotic sentiment. Perhaps the most patriotic in this moment.

I’ll see that “pack it out” challenge and raise you a “take an extra trash bag and pick up some extra trash if you have the chance”. The parks and wildlife will be better for it.

Where are those "state's rights" people at?

this is a state sponsored terrorist operation being laid out on an american and every one in ICE needs to be treated as if they are terrorists after trumps regime is over

Trump doesn’t get to “determine” we’re at war—that’s Congress’s job. Check the Constitution, Art. 1, Sec 8, Clause 11.  And while he’s talking tough out of one side of his mouth, he’s disbanding the DOJ task force fighting cartels with the other. This isn’t about public safety. It’s a power grab.

First Trump blackmailed universities into suppressing free speech. Now he’s bribing them with taxpayer dollars to enforce his agenda. Corruption and authoritarianism, plain and simple. No university should cave to this blatantly unconstitutional coercion.

ICE is running around Chicago harassing people for not being white. Just a year ago, that was illegal in the United States and now it’s commonplace. That’s not making America great again.

President Trump and Congressional Republicans just shut down the government because they refused to stop your health care costs from rising. Let me be clear: Republicans are in charge of the White House, House, and Senate. This is their shutdown.

government's shut down quick, build renewables

Me: Wow, the government shut down. That’s stressful. Do you want to have a cup of tea when we get home? Husband: You want to drink tea right now?? Tea?! The very thing that got America into this mess?

This is absolutely a lie. There is no reason shutdowns trigger layoffs. They never have before. Trump is simply using the shutdown as an excuse to take federal employees hostages and to further gut the government. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/shutdown-h...

"Republicans run the entire government but can't keep it open" That's it. That's the whole story.

This aggression is what happens when journalists are all around and filming. Imagine what happens when no journalists are nearby. www.amny.com/immigration/...

This is the language of dictators.

the president of the united states wants to use the american military to kill american citizens on american soil. that's the whole story!

If any other president in all of history said the military should use American cities as a training ground he would be removed from office that same day. The hardest thing to tolerate in all this is how relatively silent elected democrats are. It’s ridiculous.

ICE is one of the most well funded military force on the planet, entirely used internally on it’s own citizens, and completely loyal to a far right fascist dictator. if democratic politicians are not on board with abolishing ICE, they must be replaced

It is actually peak absurdity that we still have people arguing that voters should bend to the positions of their political representatives instead of the other way around.

About to be the family that owns TikTok.

What an absolute waste of taxpayer dollars.

Maaaaaaaybe militarizing kindergarteners was a mistake?

He nails it. Touching, funny, directs people to pay attention to the attacks on the press even more so than attacks on comedians. It's all the same thing, really: www.youtube.com/@jimmykimmel...

Autistic and neurodivergent people deserve far better than a government looking to prevent their existence, let alone one that will invent fictitious ways to do so that puts everyone in danger

Car-centric design hurts people in small towns just like in big cities. I saw this old lady cross this busy road on her walker because the direct trip (nursing home to Tim Horton’s) was 100 metres, versus 1 kilometre to walk up the road, cross at a light, and come back. Town of 1,200 in Ontario.

I was reliably told celebrating political violence was cause for government reprisal and private sector termination.

I changed up some Charlie Kirk quotes and substituted 'MAGA' in various places. Republicans shouldn't be offended because I'm just sharing an opinion. It's totally harmless. Just call it free speech on the flip side. I'm ready for my podcast now. Just JOKING. #RepublicanHypocrisy #FreeSpeech

Trans rights are human rights.

They can’t win fairly with policy or eloquence or fairness or intelligence so they’ll just silence everyone who disagrees with them. It’s fascism but in its most cowardly and pathetic form.

I don't remember seeing any calls for violent retribution after a Minnesota state senator was assassinated, and it would have been nice not to see any today.

If only we could count on our current president being circumspect and lowering the temperature in moments like this.

imagine believing this is remotely a positive thing

Vaccines save lives. Period.

This is the official spokesperson for the White House, stating that the President hopes to deploy the United States military to occupy every city controlled by the political party that opposes him. Explicitly.

"Thousands take to the streets of the nation's capital as regime declares war on third largest city" should be a bigger deal all around tbh.

Them: “Cities are all rotting hellscapes!” Cities:

Don’t trust the experts”? That’s not democracy, that’s recklessness. On a plane, I want a pilot. In a hospital, I want doctors and scientists who understand the evidence. Expertise isn’t religion or authoritarianism — it’s training, accountability, and data. Ignore it and we all pay the price.
