The GOP in Congress are worse than useless. They are craven enablers of murder.

The whole governing philosophy of the United States right now is "try and stop us." Turns out not many people can do that, because the level of malfeasance completely overwhelms the enforcement mechanisms, which are rooted in a presumption of good faith, a presumption which turns out to be wrong.

More from Rep. Crockett: “Anybody that knows anything about slave patrols, this is exactly what it was like. "We're talking about lawless people that are going around with no warrants or anything and it's all about rounding people up and disappearing them. That is what's currently taking place.”

Every news story now is like: POLITICAL OFFICIAL VIOLATES LAW, COULD THIS BE ILLEGAL? LEGAL EXPERTS SAY MAYBE

Dating a politician must be wild. "What'd you do today, honey?" "Oh, we argued about whether milk is woke or not. Then we all came together to unanimously strip kids lunch money away to buy more missiles."

So Venezuela doesn’t produce fentanyl and the boats being blown up aren’t even capable of reaching the US. Sounds like “drugs” is the new “WMD” lie to justify further US aggression.

It's called Oligarchy, actually. Details.

Food insecurity is ALWAYS a political choice. Famine is ALWAYS manmade. People go hungry because of other people’s decisions. We have more than enough food for everyone, and enormous amounts of it are wasted—literally thrown in the garbage—on purpose.

There will be a tipping point, where the acceptance of violating the law spreads well beyond Trump. Lawful/peaceful societies are built around voluntary acceptance of laws and rules--with some, but limited, need for enforcement. We're headed for a cultural shift that will be hard to reign back in

CBS News is just the latest legacy news outlet to cast its lot with Trump. It settled a bogus case to please Trump, it canceled Colbert to please Trump, it hired Bari Weiss to please Trump. The number of media outlets really willing to stand up to Trump is dwindling. Support them with your loyalty.

Stephen Miller's racism and xenophobia is costing America billions💲💲💲

We are supporting Bessent's friends on Wall Street who have extensive investments in Argentina, and tampering in their election, which happens to be today. bsky.app/profile/atru...

I don't know who needs to hear this, but I love food so much that I never go cheap when buying fresh ingredients from the organic market to cook for myself. And I do a little dance when I'm cooking and I taste my food, and it tastes good. Plus I moan when I'm eating and the food is delicious. 😭

The most terrified people in the world about Trump’s upcoming summit with Xi are the Taiwanese. With good reason.

Gallego: "It's murder. It's very simple. If this president feels they are doing something illegally, then he should be using the Coast Guard. If this is an act of war, then you use our military and then you come and talk to us first. But this is murder ... it's disgusting."

who creates the lively art and music scenes if the rent is too high? who makes cultural life? who serves you food or washes your dishes? who creates the fancy little restaurants that draw you to urban living? affordable housing is at the heart of what makes city life worthwhile.

I don't understand how anyone can make the case that we still have constitutional government at this point. The president is collecting revenue *AND* spending money without Congressional authorization, refusing to spend money that Congress appropriated, disobeying whatever laws he feels like.

This is how Trump does everything. Reporting from reliable sources says he’s going to do something outrageous/ridiculous. He immediately claims it’s fake news. Then a few days or weeks later he does exactly what was originally reported.

Important THREAD. Really important.

Russia was caught, red handed, interfering in the 2020 election. Trump never did anything to punish them.

The President has immunity. Now Stephen Miller is telling ICE they have federal immunity while “fulfilling their duties”. We have a dictator with a secret police force and both have immunity from prosecution. This is fascism. They can and will do whatever they want.

i really resent the continued assertion that there’s so much anger on both sides, as if the causes of the anger are equally legitimate. we’re angry because masked maniacs are violently snatching our family and neighbors off the street, and they’re angry because we’re calling them out for it.

Nothing says “you guys got me all wrong” like suddenly making your campaign staff sign NDAs.

Understand this: most Black people see the Graham Platner controversy through a completely different lens than most white people— our lived experience. So stop telling us it’s no big deal. It’s no big deal to YOU. 1/2

Sadly, we no longer live in a functioning democracy.

I could not be prouder that my law firm is currently litigating 60 voting, election and redistricting cases in 30 states. Even as large law firms bow down, we continue to fight for democracy every single day.

Congress basically doesn’t exist at this point

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.

Six games. Five goals. Melvine Malard is having a fantastic start to the #BarclaysWSL season 🤩

Women are being erased at the Pentagon. Women are being erased from history. And now a woman has been erased from the desecrated White House.

Your regular reminder that we desperately need to overturn Citizens United and get big money out of politics. It is among the worst Supreme Court decisions in history. It corrupts our political system every day.

the point of the ballroom obvs has nothing to do with aesthetics. it's to create an architectural structure to honor the patronage networks that currently dominate US politics. previous WH venues hosted maybe a couple of hundred people; this hosts nearly 1,000 rich donors.

When Massachusetts passed a "millionaires tax" in 2023, conservatives claimed the rich would flee. But two years later, they haven't — and MA has collected $5.7B for infrastructure and public education. A reminder that positive change can still happen at the state level.

Grotesquely transparent racist.

This is why I laugh when people are so “America is the greatest country on earth” because we’re not even close.

One of the most disturbing things abt SANTOS commutation is he was released from paying restitution ($373K) to victims AND forfeiture of ($205K) in ill-gotten gains. WTF! This hurts the victims while giving relief to the criminal!! NY STATE must file new charges to ensure the VICTIMS are paid!

The wealth of the richest 1% in America just hit a record $52 trillion. These are the people getting huge tax cuts — paid for by cuts to health care for millions of Americans. Every lie Trump and Republicans are telling right now about the shutdown is meant to distract you from this.

Wait till MAGA realizes SNAP and food stamps are the same thing. Their heads are going to explode like when they found out the ACA and Obamacare are the same.

Not to be cringe, but I'm surprised I am emotional seeing the East Wing demolition. My first job in DC was interning and going to meetings there regularly. I learned everything about it while giving guided tours. The beauty of the East Wing is that everyone can go there. It's America's house.

Don’t laugh at this. Don’t dismiss it. They’re serious. Prepare for it. And get ready to fight against it.

Today, the White House Press Secretary told the country that this ridiculous damn ballroom is “the president’s main priority”…not reopening the government, not lowering the cost of groceries, not lowering the cost of housing, not lowering the cost of healthcare….building a ballroom

The person who led a deadly insurrection terrorist attack at our Capitol is destroying the White House.

The Art of the Deal.

“That’s what we’re seeing with the disparity in how the C-suite is treated in the courts, and how regular people are treated in the streets.” Former FTC Commissioner @bedoyausa.bsky.social exposes Trump’s two-tiered justice system.
