“If you’ve been humiliated, the response is the most significant. And I think President Trump, when he was not in office, was humiliated by these actions.” Romney’s entire argument boils down to not wanting to hurt Trump’s feelings because it would basically trigger a tantrum.

We need more leaders with a backbone like this. Call out this orange tyrant for the wannabe autocrat he is.

“Your freedoms are being destroyed by an authoritarian madman but hey, have you considered buying an extended warranty for your car?”

Want to know the difference between this guy and all the other agents that have been filmed brutalizing people? He wasn’t wearing a mask. Anonymity prevents accountability.

“It’s a notable position for Schumer, who triggered fierce backlash in his party this spring by helping Trump keep the government open without anything in return. This time, he said, “the world is totally changed.”” The world was changed last time, too. Schumer just refused to meet the moment.

I wish the rest of the Democratic Party had even half of this congresswoman’s energy.

I’m still trying to wrap my head around how America went from beacon of freedom to authoritarian state in half a year. It’s like Russia 2.0 up in here.

I implore you to listen to the things Kimmel said that led to his show being pulled. Ask yourself - was any of it hateful? Was any of it a call for violence? Was any of it something that hadn’t already been said by pundits and reporters? This is authoritarian state control of the media. Period.

The party that railed against cancel culture sure does seem to love canceling people.

Why would fishermen have to be afraid if you were only acting on credible, verified information? He might as well be admitting he’s blowing up boats indiscriminately.

Accurate.

Are we seeing the hypocrisy yet?

So businesses have an “obligation” to print Charlie Kirk posters, but those same businesses have a right to refuse service to gay couples? Make it make sense.

The right wing: “We need free speech in this country, even it’s considered hate speech. Violence is an unacceptable response.” The same right wing: “We’re putting together lists of people who’ve said horrible things about us & publishing their names, jobs, and addresses online.” Do you get it yet?

If an arsonist set a building on fire and then died in the blaze, would people feel just as conflicted?

You can’t spew hate and promote violence and then turn around and be shocked by hate and violence.

The way this timeline is going, I’m expecting a radioactive shrimp themed superhero to emerge and save us from this comic book villain of a president.

What’s next, invade Poland?

I wish reports like this would acknowledge that for every 0.1% unemployment goes up, 170,000 people are out of a job. 4.3% is equal to 7.3 million people out of work.

Jeffries seems to be forgetting that they did legislate with a massive bill that served to siphon wealth to the upper class. It’s not that they can’t legislate, it’s that they simply don’t want to solve the problems that affect the working class. Stop pretending “common ground” is still a thing.

Trump “going in” to Chicago despite not being wanted there is giving Access Hollywood vibes. Like he might as well have been saying “I moved on Chicago like a township. When you’re president, they’ll let you do it.”

Chuck Schumer, the wet noodle of politics.

It’s not a “claim without evidence.” It’s called fan fiction.

Can we name it the Church of Reason, Evidence, And Logic? Then we can call it the R.E.A.L. Church.

Next you’re gonna tell me the sky is blue and the earth is round.

Paraphrasing Mike Johnson on the polls that suggest the provisions of the bill are wildly unpopular: “Look, polls can be manipulated. You cant trust those polls. But the polls WE’VE seen, say we’re doing great and people love the bill.”

If the United States were a donut, it’d be that stale powdered one that no one likes but somehow finds a way to touch everything else in the effing box.

To all the GOP politicians advancing Trump’s agenda - there is no stepping back over the line to the right side of history. When the narcissist in chief is defeated, you’re all going down with him. No immunity. No forgiveness. Your freedom was forfeit the second you stripped it from the rest of us.

Meanwhile, Trump on whether he’d seek a third term: “I'd like to run, I have the best poll numbers I've ever had. You know why? Because people love the tariffs.”

If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck it’s probably a cult.

Time for the news media to stop sugar coating the end of American democracy and start calling this the authoritarian takeover that it is.

Should have guessed that the people who cherry pick the parts of the Bible they want to follow would do the same with the constitution.

Reports that Trump wants to train a special unit of the National Guard to enforce law and order. You know, the military doing the job of the police. Pretty sure that’s just called martial law… 🤔

It’s hard to take the Republicans’ “tough on crime” act seriously when they so openly worship a convicted criminal.

I’m sick of people claiming you can’t be on the left if you criticize democratic politicians. Isn’t that literally the point of democracy? Last time I checked, blind loyalty was MAGA’s thing.

Remember when patriotism used to mean putting your country before yourself?

Jeffries on whether or not NY will pursue redistricting: “Let’s see what comes next.” Watch this video. I’ve never seen someone work so hard to avoid answering a question 🤦🏻‍♂️

We need leaders who can chart a path towards their vision of the future, not wallow in the past and try to survive the present. Leadership, even in a minority, can inspire hope and bring people together under a single banner. They can’t just be against Trump - They have to be FOR something better.

Imagine if blue states sent the national guard out to round up anyone with a confederate flag. I obviously wouldn’t support that move but it would be fun watching MAGA melt down over what they perceive to be the arbitrary targeting of people for something as innocuous as the color of their flag.

Everyone saying “Newsom’s not accomplishing anything!” fail to recognize that our narcissist in chief has a massive ego and Newsom is currently poking at aaaall the soft spots. It shatters the facade of strength and importance, undermining his power. It’s the whole emperor’s got no clothes shtick.

Exactly this. And when totalitarians get mad, they get sloppy. Rage bait the tyrant into making a critical error or admission, then pounce on the opportunity it creates.

For the life of me I can’t understand why the rest of the Democratic Party hasn’t seized on Newsom’s strategy.

We’re so far out over the cliff. Anyone who says we shouldn’t do everything we can to combat this doesn’t understand the seriousness of this moment.

Of course when Trump does it they call it “freedom”

Called this a while ago. Of course they didn’t release everything. When corruption runs rampant, you can’t trust anything the government does.

One week after these statements and the FBI raids his home. Coincidence?

Can we all agree this tyrant has gone too far? 😠

Isn’t it funny that the people who scream at school boards “parents should control what their kids are exposed to!” are the same people who use the power of the state to control other people’s kids? What happened to letting parents decide what’s best for their children?

The House Oversight Committee is expected to receive the Epstein Files today. Big questions still remain, like will they get all the files? What did the DOJ redact? Will the Oversight Committee be honest when releasing them to the public? When corruption runs rampant, trust is at an all time low.

The true violent criminals in this country are the ones wearing masks and tactical vests. I can’t wait until the shoe is on the other foot and these thugs get prosecuted for the domestic terrorist they are.
