In a nutshell.

Chris Murphy: "Over and over again we have seen these warmongering neocons, many of which have influence in this White House, cheerlead us into war under the guise of removing a very bad man. That ends up getting a lot of Americans killed."

Sen. Van Hollen: "You don't invade a country to grab their natural resources…I think it's outrageous that the President of the United States puts American lives at risk so big American oil companies and his billionaire buddies can profit."

What the United States did in Venezuela is prohibited under international law, which bars the use of force as an instrument of national policy.

Rubio is claiming that they did not need Congress permission because it was a law enforcement mission. The US is behaving as a global police state, extending its own arbitrary legal decisions to the whole world. This is not a problem just for Venezuela.

Holy crap. I look away from social media for a few hours and suddenly Trump is kidnapping presidents

Betty Reid Soskin, the eldest National Park Ranger, recently passed at 104. A truly remarkable woman. Looking forward to seeing her documentaries.

Volodymyr Zelenskyy is a miracle. This man has spent years doing the diplomatic equivalent of somersaults on a tightrope while his country remains under siege. I don't believe in the Great Man Theory, but he's about as close as it gets.

A beautuful thread about Rob Reiner.

Oh god no. He’s one of the nicest men I’ve ever met in my entire life. The one day I met him he went out of his way to make me feel welcomed and valued. Please let this be a mistake

Rob Reiner made some great movies but he was also unafraid to speak the truth, and was one of the public voices who knew you don’t squander your platform, and only got louder about opposing evil fucks as he got older. Legend.

Donald Trump would have been nothing more than another weirdo celebrity if he hadn't become president. We could have just enjoyed him as a famous lolcow. Think of what he took from us.

Sounds like a certain petulant orange shitgibbon is getting lost wandering around the White House in addition to falling asleep on camera multiple times a week Photo credit: Kaitlan Collins

Rand Paul tells me that he wants the full video of the Venezuelan boat strike released. “And I think if the public sees images of people clinging to boat debris and being blown up, I think that there is a chance that finally, the public will get interested enough in this to stop this.”

Hakeem Jeffries will never lead the Dems where they need to go in order to help the people. He will choose restoration over reform because he has been groomed by the Establishment. I wish people could finally accept this.

Did you know Trump has added 2.2 trillion to the national debt since taking office 10 months ago?

So am I.

Sadly relevant today.

Th consequences are so serious. Let’s hope this grows legs

You cannot have a functioning economy when so few people at the top hold so much of the nation’s wealth. It’s not sustainable.

Maybe it’s a bad idea to put people in charge of government who are eager for the rapture.

Behind this important reversal is a member of the Coast Guard who saw what was happening and had the courage to leak it to the press. That person deserves serious praise.

"“Clearly, Trump has learned something from his good friend MBS: If you don’t like what your political opponents say, execute them,” said Sen. Bernie Sanders. “Unfortunately for Mr. Trump, that’s not what we do in America.” www.commondreams.org/news/trump-s...

It's always hard to pick a worst day politically, but today the president called for the death of members of the opposition party, and the administration decided that people were being too hard on the swastika

CNN: What if there are more names connected to the Democratic Party that come out in the files? CHRIS MURPHY: So what?

Why would Jeffrey Epstein kill himself in jail if he had this much leverage of the one person who could give him a full pardon?

Grammarian and Errorist are at it again! 🖊️

I want a government that doesn’t sound like a deeply damaged, bratty boy when it communicates with citizens exercising their First Amendment rights.

The question is did a sitting president have a political liability assassinated while in federal custody. THAT IS THE QUESTION!!! And I think we all kinda know he did.

Meanwhile, here's an example of the horrendous things found in Hillary Clinton's emails—the only story worth covering for any serious news outlet in 2016, apparently. This email is also regarding a child who suffered abuse from a grown man.

We stand with Rep. Jasmine Crockett in calling for an end to voting machines owned by Dominion. Our voting systems should never be controlled by anyone aligned with MAGA politics. It’s time to push for statewide bans on these machines.

Best case: The President of the United States knew about a pedophilia ring and did nothing to stop it. Medium case: He also used his office to protect the perpetrators. Worst case: Because he was one of the perpetrators.

Schumer must go.

Never forget who sold us out: Hassan King Cortez-Masto Shaheen Kaine Fetterman Durbin Rosen

Speaker Johnson is violating the Constitution. Time to remove him. "Neither House, during the session of Congress, shall, without the consent of the other, adjourn for more than three days, nor to any other place than that in which the two Houses shall be sitting." Art. I § 5.

This really hasn’t gotten enough attention this week. @wired.com #ICE www.wired.com/story/fbi-wa...

We really do live in the stupidest of all timelines.

It wasn’t just tonight. Dems have dramatically outperformed 2024 in nearly every special election also in 2025 before tonight. But Republicans still don’t get what is happening out there. Keep enabling all the worst abuses of Trump and many of you will be voted out next.

sigh...

Did the GOP have any wins at all last night?

Really looking forward to the Speaker of the House claiming to be unaware of the election results.

This person took this when they called the race

This is truly amazing stats. This makes me feel incredibly hopeful.

I sure am enjoying No Kings 3 tonight.

Looks like wipe out for Virginia House of Delegates Republicans Dems on track to get at least 60 seats, if not more GOP had 66 seats in 2017 before the elections then Now will be below 40 in second Trump era Will have full break down tomorrow
