I’m good with my taxes subsidizing social welfare for people who can’t afford food. I’m enraged with my taxes subsidizing corporate welfare to businesses that won’t pay a living wage.

Our military is being paid by an anonymous donor. Our WH East Wing was demolished for a ballroom - paid for by donors. These aren’t acts of benevolence or patriotism. This is the oligarchy assuming control, insidiously becoming part of how we function. Every American should reject it.

…

Just a thought: How about we stop shaming the poor for buying things that may not be essential, and start shaming the rich for making a profit off things that are essential?

I wish people defended smeared victims of sexual violence the way they defend problematic male candidates for office

WOW: The White House says the president's MAIN PRIORITY is his BALLROOM. SNAP is ending. Subsidies for health care are gong to double and in some instances quadruple plan premiums. The government is shut down. The cost of living is through the roof. And his priority is his ballroom.

The same people who lost their minds over renovations to Cracker Barrel are totally fine with the White House getting bulldozed

@governor.ca.gov would you consider a coalition of governors willing to pay congress members, say $230M, to impeach this guy. I think its taxpayer money well spent in turning this boat around. I think this is how it works now.

They’re distracting you with talk about healthcare premiums while a dictator runs wild...snatching Americans off the streets, looting hundreds of millions, and tearing down the White House. At this rate, healthcare will be the least of America’s worries.

If so many hadn't excused his admitted behavior as "locker room" talk, none of us would be here. It just takes belief in another human. Believe survivors.

Good news for global health - Fiji has become the 26th country to eliminate trachoma, a neglected tropical disease and the world’s leading infectious cause of blindness. A great example of the power of institutions and communities working together to advance public health for all.

Reuters: US APPEALS COURT WON’T ALLOW DEPLOYMENT OF NATIONAL GUARD IN ILLINOIS PENDING APPEAL

I urge our nation to use this weekend's No Kings marches as a declaration of independence against the tyranny and lawlessness currently running this country. Use your voice. ACT PEACEFULLY. Protect yourself and your community. THERE ARE NO KINGS IN THE UNITED STATES.

I’ve directed the U.S. House to withhold my pay during the shutdown.     If federal workers are missing paychecks because of Washington’s dysfunction, Members of Congress certainly shouldn’t be cashing theirs.     My bill with Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick would make that the rule, not the exception.

The American people deserve a public health system that puts science before politics. That's why California and 14 other governors are joining forces to launch the Governors Public Health Alliance to protect communities and guarantee decisions are rooted in data and health.

Emerging from the darkness of this era will require us to acknowledge that the previous status quo, including many institutions that may have served us well in another era, have been failing for my entire lifetime.

We got $20 billion for Argentina though.

Oh how quickly people forget the monumental amount of resistance he got from the Republicans on the ACA.

California, this November 4th, the whole country is counting on you. Prop 50 puts our elections back on a level playing field, preserves independent redistricting over the long term, and lets the people decide. So return your ballot today. Vote yes on 50.

NEW: There’s a disaster unfolding in Alaska right now. And no major network is covering it. The remnants of Typhoon Halong battered western Alaska overnight. Homes, with people in them, have literally been swept into the Bering Strait. At least 20 are missing. No comment from any federal agency.

“We are home now. We marched from the park to ICE, very peaceful crowd. We were standing around ICE pushed us down, sprayed us with chemical and I was hit in the head with a projectile. This was so unprovoked. People have to know that the Feds are attacking people with NO provocation whatsoever.”

A lot of libertarians who have been screaming in my replies about "authoritarianism" and "tyranny" for the last four years are conspicuously quiet right now. Curious.

Pritzker is also furious: “Should National Governors Association leadership choose to remain silent, Illinois will have no choice but to withdraw from the organization.”

BREAKING: The Supreme Court just rejected Ghislaine Maxwell’s appeal of her criminal conviction for recruiting and grooming teenage girls for sexual abuse by Jeffrey Epstein. The decision means that her conviction and 20-year criminal sentence remain in place.

Using massive Medicaid and Medicare fraud.

Today marks the first day in public media’s history without federal funding. And we’re not going anywhere. Listeners like you keep our mission alive. Protect one of the last places where America comes together to hear itself. Stand with us today. Donate at this link: n.pr/46wamAj

I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES I know we are “used to it” but it is absolutely insane

Thou shalt worry less about Tylenol causing autism and more about Donold causing fascism.

Oregon AG Dan Rayfield: "California, DC, Memphis, potentially Illinois, now Oregon - this normalization that you can use the US military in our cities. That is un-American & every place that it happens, you will see Democratic attorneys general standing up, drawing a line in the sand & saying, 'No'"

What we choose to fund through the government is a statement of our priorities. The Republicans refusing to extend healthcare tax cuts (that'll cause premiums for Americans to SKYROCKET) are the same ones who voted to give the ultra rich tax cuts...

When the President uses federal law enforcement for his personal revenge, it puts all of us in danger.

Because this administration thinks everyone believes the rules only matter when it helps “your side” (like they do), they are counting on Comey’s unpopularity to normalize this. Don’t let it. Whatever you think of him or his actions in the past, etc. this indictment is dangerous and an outrage.

Tried to get my real ID. I had my license, my SS card and my birth certificate. I was not allowed to get my real ID because my birth name is different than my married name. Now I have to go dig up a marriage certificate. You know who wouldn’t have to do this? A man. Never change your last name.

How long until we start hearing about how people who make remarks inconvenient to the regime are falling out of windows?

PSA: A "Major Terrorist Organization" (MTO) is not a thing. The Immigration and Nationality Act *delegates* power to the State Department to designate *FOREIGN* terrorist organizations (FTOs) based on certain criteria. It doesn't apply to domestic orgs. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER!

Yes, release the Epstein files!!!

Both of the co-founders of Turning Point USA died from things that were preventable, but which they mocked and urged this nation to ignore. Bill Montgomery was killed in 2020 by COVID and Charlie Kirk was killed in 2025 by gun violence.

The nerve of these corporate-owned politicians and media figures who think that they have the moral authority to lecture the rest of us on how to react to the decay of American society that they are directly responsible for

Again, they say these troops are there to make the people of the city feel safe

Yeah? What the fuck are you going to prosecute them with? What law?😆🤣😆 These people are a fucking joke. Every one of 'em.

Would anyone object to me temporarily decreasing the human life span to lets say, 79 years, 2 months, and 20 days?

One of the most remarkable things of the last 9 months is how many Americans seem to believe the President is all powerful and Congress has no say. Actually Congress has been ineffective by choice. It has immense power if it had the courage to use it.

Sing it.

The president is sending the military to control American cities and if you're a reporter who's framing that illegal power grab as "pushing the boundaries of constitutionality" or "acting boldly to fight crime" or whatever, please go find another line of work where you won't get us all killed.

PREACH.

To the GOP (gestapo of predators) and MAGA, you reap what you sow.
