Ron Johnson: "Quite honestly, by now it should be obvious to every American that it's not the Republicans that are a threat to our democracy. It's President Obama, it's President Biden."

An apt reminder on this day, it was never about the hostages

I think what this shows is how far the Republican party has been corrupted since Trump's first term. Today he nominates people like Emil "f**k the courts" Bove to the federal bench. www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

Jeffries: "Republicans enacted permanent tax breaks for the wealthy, well-off, and well-connected. Permanent tax breaks. And now the nerve of these people to say to us that 'we do not have the time or inclination to address the ACA tax credits for working-class Americans'"

Sean Duffy says the safety of the air traffic control system will start being impacted next Sunday if the shutdown continues

As a fellow Californian, I’m also voting YES on Prop 50 💙🔥💙

Just got a text that my special election ballot is on the way. I’ll be watching for it, because I’m voting YES on Prop 50. Texas Republicans didn’t even give their voters a choice. So it’s on us to protect democracy at the ballot box. Fight 🔥with 🔥🔥

I think he's got it covered. Good morning everyone. ☕️☕️☕️.

If you drive a 2025/2026 Tesla or still use X, there really isn't an excuse. You really are just an asshole that looks the other way.

Trump is running everything into the ground while grifting billions for himself and his family.

It really is amazing how often you can repeat something Trump said verbatim without identifying Trump as the person who said it and Trump supporters will say it’s the dumbest thing they’ve ever heard.

My opponent thinks we are suckers. She thinks we don’t see through her smoke and mirrors on the shutdown. It’s easy to skip a paycheck when you’re a multimillionaire like she is. She’s out of touch and out of gas. Let’s replace her with someone who wants to do the work. @wellmanformo.bsky.social

Trump promised an infrastructure bill for 4 years in his first term. Said it was coming in 2 weeks many times. Never delivered one. Democrats then delivered critically needed funding for crumbling infrastructure. Now Russ Vought is taking that away. But only in blue states.

This is how the last 2018-2019 shutdown ended, another caused by Trump. It only took a couple of days once air traffic controllers working without pay started calling in sick and Laguardia airport had to be shut down. www.huffpost.com/entry/robert...

😲 Are You Surprised at All❓️

Republicans are happy to collect taxes from blue states, then Budget Dictator Russ Vought cuts off their funding approved by Congress. No cuts yet from the Dictator to red states. Vote out Susan Collins since she is powerless as Appropriations Chair & every R in blue states.

President #Trump, who claimed he knew "NOTHING" about #Project2025 before the election, now brags about it! He LIED to you then; he's lying to you now! #IMPEACH! open.substack.com/pub/heatherc...

Trumpnomics: Get tariff money from US consumers on Chinese goods. Our farmers can’t sell their products because the Chinese refuse to pay our tariffs. China buys from farmers in Argentina instead. We send Argentina $20 billion. Then we pay our farmers to throw their crops away.

Fore sure.

The federal government is once again engaged in a coordinated campaign to silence critics in the government, the media, the judiciary, academia, and the entertainment industry,” the committee said in a statement. “We refuse to stand by and let that happen.”

Some of us were talking about both subjects before it was cool.

Remember before the election when Trump claimed he'd never heard of Project 2025? www.politico.com/live-updates...

This guy, scared shitless and rightfully so, has given his Mike Johnson/Grindr receipts to multiple sources and a reporter so that he doesn’t get Epsteined. If this proves to be real, I’ll also donate to his legal fees. #ProudBlue #Pinks #MikeJohnson #Grindr youtube.com/shorts/3gB-k...
