I will say it again: If we make it through this dark period with democracy intact, it may be because the administration's incompetence was greater than its depravity.

Walz: "This is how government is supposed to work. It's not supposed to be one old man in the Oval Office sending out middle of the night tweets that shock markets into free fall. It's not supposed to be a bunch of 20 somethings unelected and firing everyone. It's not supposed to be chaos."

Rep Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY): “Mr. Abrego Garcia must be returned immediately before he is killed in one of the most dangerous prisons in the world. Enough with the fake bravado. This is not America. The Supreme Court must aggressively enforce its order immediately.”

AOC: We saw Majorie Taylor Greene buy that dip. How much did you make? How much did you make off of people’s despair? How much did you make off of that panic? How much did you make off of that suffering? No more. We can’t accept it

Rep. Steven Horsford to Greer: "So the trade representative hasn't spoken to the POTUS about a global reordering of trade, but yet he announced it on a tweet? WTF! Who is in charge?

“Tax the rich” receives a lot of applause at the Spartz town hall

Sometimes what gets called “depression” in autistic humans is years of unmet needs unprocessed grief and the exhaustion of performing a self that isn’t ours. It’s not (always/only/et al) a chemical imbalance. It’s a survival response. And it makes sense. Look how we are treated.
