We cannot afford to allow that to continue. That is why I am running. Service over self is how I lived for 30 years in uniform, and that is how will show up for FL-13 every single day in Congress. We have work to do and I am ready! #LeelaGrayforCongress #LeelaJGray www.leelagray.com (2/2)

Seems like a mean lady. Let's not give people the dignity to choose their own food after we decide whether they are worthy to offer food benefits.

Why is it so hard to cancel subscription? Just give me a button to click on your site. No I don't want to talk or chat with someone. No I don't want to explain why. No I don't want to go to the gym and talk to someone. Stop making it easy to gouge people with damn subscriptions!

SpongeBob memes and video game edits hyping their illegal war in Iran, tells us just how seriously the White House takes decisions of war and peace. This isn’t Call of Duty. It isn’t a game or a meme. Real people are dying, including innocent children and American soldiers.

As a historian, I'd just like to remind the politicians who follow me that it is not, in fact, 2003 anymore and the current GOP war in the Middle East is not, in fact, even remotely popular. So if you're a weathervane who just tries to do what's already popular, full-throated opposition is it!

Resign. Resign. Resign. Have some basic decency: resign. apnews.com/article/mili...

Fuck these arrogant millionaires who have the gall to tell ordinary Americans upset about high food prices that they should just substitute lower-quality generic food and quit complaining.

Let me sum it up for non-military folks: Senator Mark Kelly didn’t violate any military laws. None. Hegseth’s little bitch ass has been ordered by Trump to retaliate against Sen. Kelly for speaking out, and Hegseth does what Daddy tells him to do. That’s all this is.

Nobody knows about magnets -- my fourth grade grandsons homework.

The Trump regime is rife with buffoonish thugs, and Journalist Chris Hedges is on point. #Corruption #MoralDecay #DemandDemocracy

So it wasn't about Bidens' age after all. They just don't like the constitution or how the founders framed the US Govt.

Tim knows what to do!

It is a peculiar paradox of the cronies and thugs who surround President Donald Trump: the more macho their image and the harder they try to project manliness (and boy, do they try hard), the more submissive they are to their boss. 🧵1/2 www.smh.com.au/world/north-...

Carville: USAID spent $41 billion the federal budget is 6 trillion. Actually comes to something like .014%. So take that and put it against the 6 trillion and see what you have done when your president is responsible for more federal debt than any president in the history of the United States.

JD Vance - If you believe any of the multiple federal courts that have ruled against you so far are exceeding their statutory or Constitutional authority, your recourse is to appeal. You don’t get to rage-quit the Republic just because you are losing. That’s tyranny.

The real scam: making you fear the “the other” while the rich rob you blind. I wish every American understood this.

Funny how those in right-wing media spun endless conspiracy webs about Biden being “compromised” over Hunter’s business deals, yet Elon Musk — swimming in foreign ties, gov't contracts, and so much more — gets a free pass. Did they all suddenly run out of red string?

BEST part of the day. "Lock him up."

When we fight we win!

Germany showing us how it is done.

Georgians showing how it is done.

Murphy: "That's just fancy talk to say, 'we're gonna give money to people who pledge loyalty to Trump, and we're not gonna give money to people who don't pledge loyalty.' Today it may be government contracts, but tomorrow it may be your tax refund."

One thing about me is that I will fight Nazis until I’m six feet in the ground.

Huge anti Trump protests in Los Angeles today. ❤

Over the last nine days, the house has been out of session while the Democracy is sold for parts. Would have been nice had the Democrat come back on their own and sued, yelled, stood up, etc. Anything but stayed home

Trump was elected, not Musk. Who is actually running the country? www.nytimes.com/2025/02/01/u...

I am begging Democratic lawmakers to stop solely pointing out the obvious problems and start publicly talking about how to address them. We know our democracy is unstable and unhealthy. What are you gonna do about it? Cease the platitudes and broad statements. Get specific and talk about actions.

You can dance around it as much as you want, but all this anti-DEI is ultimately just good old-fashioned RACISM!

Bullshit. The public backlash is just too much to handle. Some might be asking if they are either liars or incompetent. They are both.

Nor am I!

South Koreans are providing the world a masterclass on how to handle a power hungry president.

Pete Hegseth is unqualified and unfit to lead the Department of Defense. These latest sworn statements are further evidence of disturbing and outrageous conduct. Is this really who Republicans want to entrust with the lives of our men and women in uniform?

This is your mission. We take our power back now at the local and state level. Stop waiting for a national hero. It’s you. Get to work.

@sihenrikson.bsky.social Good to see you here.

Musk’s intentions with the salute? He’s already spelled them out in writing. joycevance.substack.com/p/musk-in-di...

If you’re wondering how we got here, just remember that almost half of Americans read below a 6th grade level and that the war on education from the Right persists. Source: www.thenationalliteracyinstitute.com/post/literac...

On this national day of shame I choose not to focus on Donald Trump and his awful, miserable and pathetic people. I choose to focus on Dr. Martin Luther King and our better angels.

"Civility for an Insurrectionist Criminal? Nah, I'll Pass" As billionaires, Joe Scarborough, corporate media, & "moderate" Democrats obey in advance & urge civility towards Donald Trump, the rest of us should reject a relationship rooted in cruelty. thelefthook.substack.com/p/civility-f...

Literally no one is asking to rename the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America. I thought people voted for Trump to lower the price of eggs like he promised—what about that?

At the VERY LEAST, since he accomplished nothing else to hold the leaders of this accountable, Merrick Garland needs to release the damn report and stop being afraid of his own shadow. Weak people all over this Admin is part of what got us here.

Jan 6th was a violent attack on our country, not a “day of love.” The truth is well documented, witnessed by dozens of GOP officials, it’s up to us to defend it against the relentless lies. My latest: adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/defending-...

If only real reporting had been the theme before the election. Instead of what we got.

For all of his dystopian rhetoric, by many traditional metrics, the America that Trump will inherit from Biden is actually in better shape than that bequeathed to any newly elected president since Bush came into office in 2001. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/05/u...

The connections are hard to ignore. The money & personnel involved in these businesses are the same as Trump's Project 2025 advisory board. We desperately need to get money out of politics.

Jimmy Carter was a gentle truth teller, rather like Mr. Rogers who cared about the poor. He did it with dignity even when it was unpopular, and he never pretended there were easy, painless solutions. Donald Trump is a depraved bombastic corrupt sexual predator conman, rather like Vince McMahon.
