The current affordability crisis is not an accident or a natural economic cycle. It is the direct result of specific policies enacted by Donald Trump and his Republican allies in Congress. Their choices made your life more expensive. #TrumpflationSucks

Hell yes, Ford has reinstated TJ Sabula, the worker who yelled out “pedophile protector” at the orange felon, back to his original post and will not face any disciplinary action nor have it on his record thanks to the tireless support of the UAW. Love this. 💙👊

I did a thing cause Bad Bunny did a thing and the only thing more powerful than hate is love. 💙👇🏼 🏈

One tweet. One hashtag. One message to Congress: #FundHealthcareOverICE Copy. Paste. Send. Let's flood their feeds.

Trump and MAGA Republican’s Big, Ugly Bill more than tripled ICE funding while slashing $1 trillion dollars from Medicaid. Now this roving caravan of lawless thugs are terrorizing our cities. Congress needs to #FundHealthcareOverICE and do away with whatever this is. Watch👇👇

They told us there was no money for healthcare. No money for kids. No money for families drowning in medical bills. But there’s always money for ICE. More cages. More raids. More cruelty. That’s not a budget problem. That’s a values problem. Fund care, not punishment. #FundHealthcareOverICE

Republicans in Congress want more blood on the streets and less healthcare for Americans because that is how their big donors get paid, whether it's private prison companies getting rich or the billionaires and their big tax cuts. Either way, you die. #FundHealthcareOverICE

ICE's budget could fund the ACA (healthcare) extension and expand Medicaid to millions. Instead, it funds home invasions, family separation, and killing protesters. Republicans made this choice for you. Remember in November... #FundHealthcareOverICE

Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning. Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.

I’m not sure how Dems are going to overcome this tidal wave of new Republican voters.

The only way to stop Trump's thugs from committing bloody murder on our streets is for Congress to step in. Glad Senate Democrats found their collective backbone and hit STOP PAYMENT on checks to DHS.

Let me explain how Trump's attack on Minneapolis is part of a governing strategy to cover up the Jeffrey Epstein files, rising prices and rampant corruption. My latest for @bylinetimes.bsky.social: bylinetimes.com/2026/01/28/t...

Trump is trying to bait Minnesota into chaos, but we know the playbook now. Knowledge is our best defense. We win by staying disciplined and refusing to play his game. Here is the blueprint to outmaneuver the regime: 👇 via @grantstern.bsky.social

A message to the media: stop calling it a "healthcare crisis." Call it the "Republican healthcare crisis." Stop calling it an "immigration debate." Call it "Republican terror and violence." Be accurate. #FundHealthcareStopICE

A party that truly cared about "life" would ensure everyone has healthcare. A party that truly cared about "safety" would stop terrorizing communities with ICE. Republicans fail both tests. #FundHealthcareStopICE

It's time for Democrats to STOP funding Trump's DHS for the murder of innocent Americans until the perpetrators are brought to justice. #FundHealthcareStopICE

Where does ICE think they're deporting tribe members back to? They are the Native Americans. ICE is probably all immigrants.

It snowed today. I cleaned off my car, unzipped my jacket, and let my FCK ICE shirt talk for me when my MAGA neighbors came outside. shop.beingliberal.org/products/fck...

The Republican agenda: Terminate the tax credits that make healthcare affordable, creating panic as premiums double. Simultaneously, increase the budget for ICE's violent, often illegal, home invasion tactics. Vote them all out in November! #FundHealthcareNotICE

Grant Stern @grantstern.bsky.social Patriotic Americans FLEEING Republican Party & new polls show swelling taboos of independents who are LEAVING MAGA BEHIND while Donald Trump runs America into the ground Democrats need to work harder to win these swing voters Even Newsmax is worried about it!

You know the old saying ‘a prosecutor could indict a ham sandwich’? Well, Pam Bondi tried really hard to indict Don Lemon, and failed. He must be kosher.

When Republicans STRIPPED YOU OF HEALTH INSURANCE to fund a big tax cut for billionaires, that's not completely all of what they spent the money on doing. Trump and his allies gave ICE a whopping $85 BILLION. It is the highest-funded US agency now. #FundHealthcareNotICE

Prosecutors around the country who continue to resign to protest the illegal, unethical & immoral actions of DOJ are heroes. For many, these are dream jobs. Highly coveted career positions. They are walking away from them to do the right thing when many would remain silent. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Hey, y'all! Come join me on Sunday, Jan 25, at 3 pm Central for a virtual campaign fundraiser for @hartzell.bsky.social! We'll be focusing on disability justice, and I'm proud to co-host with @thetattooedjew.com. Let's rock this vote and get Hartzell to DC!

How much extra are you paying for health insurance now? Senate Republicans are doing nothing about your rising healthcare costs — while pretending they have a right to run Venezuela and extract their resources. Is that what you voted for? Stay focused on what Republicans are taking away from you.

Begging credit card companies to play nice is a joke. I said a year ago if Trump was serious I’d work to pass a bill to cap rates. Since then, he’s done nothing but try to shut down the CFPB. Trump doesn’t care about affordability. Americans know a fraud when they see one.

NEW VIDEO FOOTAGE: This appears to come from murderer Jonathan Ross’ body cam or cell phone. You can clearly see Renee Good turn her steering wheel to avoid him, and after he shoots her in the face, you hear him say “Fucking bitch.” www.instagram.com/reel/DTTNCQr...

In 2025 the US averaged 49k new jobs a month compared to 168k in 2024. To be clear these numbers were posted by the BLS today after Trump recently fired their statistics chief, claiming without evidence that the “jobs numbers were RIGGED in order to make the Republicans, and ME, look bad”.

And a level of demand for oil the world just does not have right now. And it's not gonna have it, because other, wiser nations are transitioning away from oil.

How does an entire administration not understand this basic reality? Venezuelan oil is not profitable. Heavy crude takes years to extract profitably. It requires massive upfront investment, specialized infrastructure, refineries configured for heavy oil, long timelines, and political stability. 1/2

Not Somali. Not Venezuelan. Worked for Charlie Kirk.

WAIT. HOLD UP WTF? Trump says American wants to run Venezuela with a transitional government until safe elections. Him and what army? He left the dictators senior commanders in charge. This ain’t going to happen. He changed leadership, not the regime

If the spineless, cowardly, pusillanimous turds in the Republican congressional caucuses in the Senate in house don't stand up after what happened today, then, I'm just kidding. They're all going to have beers at the White House later today.

Trump announces he’s pulling the National Guard from Portland, LA, and Chicago but threatens that “We will come back, perhaps in a much different and stronger form, when crime begins to soar again - Only a question of time!”

Question: But the president’s statements that he believed the election was rife with fraud—those are statements protected by the First Amendment, correct? Smith: Absolutely not. If they are made to target a lawful government function and are made with knowing falsity, then no, they are not.

The National Guard gets to go home to their families next year! Democracy WINS. Trump LOSES. Happy New Year! ! ! !

The most telling Bari Weiss incident came when "The Free Press" excused George Floyd's murder, @radleybalko.bsky.social highlighted factual errors, and Weiss's reaction was not to make corrections, but to invite Balko on a podcast. There is no truth, there are no standards, there is only content.

🧵Politics & feelings. I often read descriptions of fond adoration for this POTUS or that congressperson. When I vote for someone, I see them as someone I am willing to hire for a job. I do not see a hero or a person of virtue or adoration, I see a person best qualified to represent a given... 1/

Happy New Year, my fellow Blue-Skiers! Who wants a follow back to celebrate?

It has been The Onion's best year since we broke Watergate and subsequently, personally had Richard Nixon removed from office. I'm going to share some personal favorite stories in this thread. Please add your own, and visit the Our Annual Year recap below. theonion.com/our-annual-y...

Not sure this one is going to come true for Jane.

2025 sucked. In hopes of a better 2026, I am pleased to present the 5th annual batshittery bingo card.

Trump and Republicans’ resolution for 2026: Jack up health insurance premiums for 22 million, including 337,000 in Massachusetts—all to pay for tax breaks for their CEO billionaire buddies. Our resolution? Don’t agonize—organize and take back our government in 2026.

BREAKING: The House Judiciary Committee has released Jack Smith's 255-page deposition transcript: judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

Sometimes the universe brings change when you least expect it. But sometimes that change is exactly what you needed. I’m ready for 2026.

NEW: The Jack Smith deposition transcript is a devastating, point-by-point rebuttal to claims that the Trump prosecutions were “political,” as Smith details evidence of Trump’s crimes "beyond a reasonable doubt."

If Republicans are so angry about public services fraud, then why don't they look at the Florida Governor's mansion first? Casey DeSantis is neither Somali nor in Minnesota.

While Erika Kirk continues to appear in public, I need to acknowledge, widow to widow, there is a form of strength in her control and in the way she maintains composure under scrutiny. But true strength is not for an audience. True courage lives in private spaces no one sees. Read and subscribe 👇🏼

Zelenskyy calls Russia’s claim of a strike on one of Putin’s residences a “complete fabrication,” a lie designed to sabotage diplomacy, justify more attacks on Kyiv, and excuse Moscow’s refusal to end the war. He warns the world must not stay silent as Russia tries to derail peace.
