Where Congress should be a check on Trump’s every abuse of power—this Republican Congress is shamefully absent, even when he threatens to wipe out an entire country. My message to every American: you are voting in the fall. Your voice and your vote matter. You are not powerless.

From a post: “Told my wife to have dinner ready by 6 or I'll obliterate her entire civilization. So anyway, she now charges me a fee to use the bathroom that used to be free, and I didn't get any dinner, but I'm pretty sure I won that exchange.”

Trump wants to give the Pentagon more money than it can spend while cutting programs that help American families here at home. Well Trump doesn't get to decide—Congress does. And I'm throwing his budget in the trash.

And they continue to build more.

I'd really like to see leadership calling for impeachment and removal, regardless of whether they have the votes to get it done. Same way we called for marriage equality before we had the votes. A leader's job is to lead. If a genocidal threat isn't impeachable, then nothing is.

Wise words from Spain's Prime Minister: “The momentary relief cannot make us forget the chaos, the destruction, and the lives lost. The govt of Spain will not applaud those who set the world on fire just because they show up with a bucket. What is needed now: diplomacy, international law and PEACE.”

Today is day 127 of the ICE occupation of MN. ICE is still here. Neighbors are still being abducted. So we’re here too. Still carrying whistles. Still standing watch in our neighborhoods. Still doing mutual aid. Still fighting for ICE OUT EVERYWHERE.

We shouldn't all be forced to live in this episode of The Twilight Zone constantly. This is no way to live.

In an age of creeping relativism, a universal moral law still exists. Threatening to end an entire civilization of 90 million people in order to bend a nation’s conduct to your will is grossly morally wrong. It is evil. And we should say this loudly.

may this define her for the rest of her life. she was willing to stoop this low and still got fired. girl, bye.

Know what will amuse me? If Pam Bondi is so furious about her humiliating firing, she gets even with Donald by releasing the rest of the Epstein files. Especially the videos.

While all of Trump’s cabinet are incompetent at their jobs. It’s funny how he fired both Noem and Bondi, who are both women, isn’t it? 🔄
