The level of ignorance of this United States senator is both astonishing and depressing. They (GOP) have no clue how to govern, and no conception of what healthcare policy can, or should, be. They’re just scrambling to avoid getting thrown out of office next November. Unpatriotic, putrid wretches.

These unpatriotic morons lack the cognitive capacity to assess events forward in time to probable outcomes. If they did, they would realize that there is no crime to be investigated or charged; they will fail; any remaining credibility will vanish. It’s 100% impulse. His fatal flaw. We’re lucky.

Meet the next U.S. Senator from the great state of Texas, who seems to possess the launch codes and algorithms to permanently dismantle MAGA in America. Get ready to watch the fastest and most effective rise of any political figure in this country since Obama in 2006.

Home invasions. Child sex crimes. Homicide. Just a couple things that some of the 1500+ January 6 defendants have been convicted of since Trump released them back onto our streets. The GOP isn't the party of law and order. They're the party of lawlessness and violence.

Trump is isolating the American people from the rest of the world. He is alienating most other countries all at once, uniting the world against us. We are stuck here with him & he is stuck here with us. www.cnn.com/2025/10/14/t...

The facts are complicated, but here’s a summary of what appears to have happened based on the filings and today’s hearing:

Taking down Trump isn’t even political anymore, it’s about taking down a transnational criminal organization operating at the highest echelons of US government and putting our international security at extreme risk.

This is going to blow up the entire arsenal of falsified prosecutions of Trump enemies based on mortgage fraud. Pulte, AG Blondi and Trump will be criminally prosecuted. Blondi will be disbarred. They'll all be sued for everything they have. Total Arrogance + Absolute Incompetence = MAGA ShitShow.

“[T]he rich and powerful are increasingly operating in cryptocurrencies and avoiding accountability, but where a majority of people would prefer to live in a world where a child does not have to sell her body to older men in order to save enough money to get braces on her teeth.”

"There are about a thousand of us." Yes, because the thing about girls is that they don't stay girls for very long. Which makes them disposable. And which means that men like Epstein need a huge supply.

Precisely. Millions pulled lever for Trump, or failed to vote at all, because “affordability.” which Trump’s “Signature Policies” (mass deportation decimating labor force & insane, illegal tariffs) inevitably worsened. We’ll have a real affordability crisis after a nuclear exchange or two, won’t we?

It's time for Schumer to step down from his post as minority leader and allow for new leadership to emerge—someone who is willing to consistently fight for the American people. sign.moveon.org/petitions/sc...

As the mother of a 20-year-old daughter, I think it is hard to overstate how much what happened last night meant to many young people. They came of political age under the shadow of Trumpism and the hardships of the pandemic. They needed this glimmer of hope. Let’s build it into an enduring flame.

People don’t get it yet. Mamdani is about to earn more votes, and a higher percentage of votes, than any candidate for Mayor of the City of New York… in history.

Online life is less spiritual than the physical communality of in-person worship with others. A Thesis.

I’m shocked and dismayed there are no extensive, poll-tested, fully funded efforts to form a Coalition for Freedom and Democracy, consisting of Democrats, Republicans, Independents, and all patriotic Americans, to advance this fight for our democracy, against Trump and MAGA authoritarianism.

While the radical right wing coup d'état in the Executive has been as sudden and brutal as a Nazi blitzkrieg, and includes the Legislature, a parallel coup in the Judicial Branch has been sustained and methodical for 50 years. But make no mistake: Authoritarian power is being consolidated.

This is Trump’s America. Is it yours?

Honestly at some point you have to start doing psyops with these people: Have Obama announce that he will seek a third term tomorrow. Then watch all the con law “scholars” and Fix News MELT DOWN trying to explain why he can’t but Trump can. (It’s like Newsom taking over his social media persona)

“Walmart was the top employer of SNAP recipients in five states and one of the top four employers in the remaining four states. McDonald’s was among the top five employers of Medicaid enrollees in five of six states and SNAP recipients in eight of nine states.” www.cnbc.com/2020/11/19/w...

Why are Trump & GOP stealing elections to stay in power? Because people in Red states governed by GOP hacks die much faster than in Blue states. GOP policies are killing their own voters. So they're stealing votes from the other side. Words fail to express how fucked up this is. On so many levels.

At this point, the United States federal government is being run by carnival barkers on acid, howling at the moon, brought to you by Fox News. They should just go ahead and change the logo to a tinfoil hat.

Thanks to his Supreme Court, Trump more or less has legal carte blanche in the U.S. But he’s not immune from international prosecution for war crimes in Argentina. Nor is Secretary WarriorBro™️.

Wowsers. Must read for any American who thinks the United States Department of Justice should be staffed by minimally competent adults. Because it ain’t. www.lawfaremedia.org/article/anna...

“We found over 35 cases in which the judges have specifically said what the government is providing…false information. It might be intentionally false information, including false sworn declarations time and again," says Ryan Goodman, law professor at New York University.

A cabal of shameless, carnival barkers and grifters is running the government of the most important nation on earth like it's a TV reality show. None of them could run any organization with any competence, honesty or integrity. If we survive, we may never recover from this. GOP is 100% responsible.

"A future president, even dumber than you, will allow Qatar, the country that harbored Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the architect of the plane attacks in NY, PA, and DC today, and whose royal family will help him escape capture by the US, to build a military base on US soil to train Qataris to fly jets."

As widely consumed American media sources become ever more compromised by oligarchic acquisition, direct federal interference, extortion and bullying, we’ll need to rely increasingly on independent, patriotic, professional sources of journalism. Like this. Support them. Disseminate widely.

What he not saying is that his friends and cronies invested a fortune in Argentina since their guy Milei won, they stand to lose a big chunk of those fortunes the way things are going, and Argentina’s elections are in two weeks and we are tampering in them to bail Milei out.
