Trump became obsessed with building a White House ballroom after visiting England, where he attended a state dinner in St. George's Hall at Buckingham Palace. He's trying to recreate an opulent, gaudy ballroom he saw in a 14th-century castle. #NoKings

What Trump has done to the East Wing of the White House, he has also done to our democracy. The damage has been swift and profound, and we are left to grapple with a loss that can never be fully restored.

Many people will be saying it's the healthiest corpse in history.

At Adventist Health White Memorial in LA, hospital administrators are working with ICE and preventing doctors from properly treating detainees.

Trump sought a convenient scapegoat to justify the imposition of martial law, and the imaginary threat of Antifa emerged as the ideal target for his agenda.

There are two kinds of people: those who roll up their sleeves and do the hard work, and those who sit back and take credit for others' work. Trump is always in the second group.

The transformation of The People's House into Mar-a-Lago DC is nearly complete.

Republican VA budget cuts are jeopardizing veterans' healthcare, causing staff shortages, halting research, and closing hospitals. Contact your representatives and tell them to restore these cuts to veterans’ benefits. #DefendVeteransBenefits

Many Americans still don't understand that U.S. businesses and consumers pay for Trump's tariffs - not the countries from which goods are imported. Trump's tariffs are a sales tax that will hurt small businesses and working families.

For those who continue to repeat Trump's lies, there is no coming back.

Trump's "One Big Beautiful Bill" devastating cuts to Medicaid and the Republican Congress's refusal to extend ACA tax credits are projected to cause 15 million Americans to lose health insurance, effectively destroying our health care system. #MedicaidCutsKill

The Republican BBB will decimate health care for children, seniors, and veterans by slashing Medicaid and other programs, adding $3.3 trillion to the U.S. debt, all to fund tax cuts for the wealthy. Meanwhile, Trump has shifted thousands of federal agents and the military to immigration enforcement.

Republican Senators are getting ready to screw millions out of their healthcare with a single vote! TAKE ACTION: Call their offices and let them know we're watching and we won't forget their votes at (202) 224-3121. #VoteNO

ICE just abducted a leading contender for the New York City mayorship for asking to see a warrant. I need everyone to understand that they are not a law enforcement agency — they are Donald Trump’s secret police.

Ever notice how those who view everything as a transaction struggle with moral conviction? MAGA assumes protests are funded by some hidden source, unable to grasp that genuine compassion, not profit, drives decent people. It's called empathy, not a paycheck.

The Senator was in the building for official business. The FBI Police knew who he was and where he was. Any other message is pure spin.

The next season of "The United States of America" is about to be canceled unless you speak up.

Under Trump's direction, Republicans are stripping health care from millions of Americans, including cancer patients, to deliver even more tax breaks to billionaires! We must fight back and let them know we won't let them do it! #DefendMedicaidDefeatCancer

In blind support of Pete Hegseth, Sen. Markwayne Mullin says that he will "lead the breach," "lay down cover fire," "take the high ground" in the line of "enemy fire." It's worth noting that Markwayne avoided military service when the U.S. was engaged in two wars, yet now he wants to play soldier.

🔥 OBAMA: “IMAGINE IF I HAD DONE ANY OF THIS… I say this not on a partisan basis. This has to do with something more precious — who are we as a country, and what values do we stand for?” 🇺🇸

The entire conversation is a disaster. It was an illegal use of a disappearing messaging app which none of them objected to. Hegseth appears to have copied and pasted the targeting packages into the chat, and Witkoff was literally in Moscow when he joined the chat. open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

This one hasn’t aged great

Republicans want a return to Blue Laws.

Trump is cashing in his SCOTUS chips.

This is a fantastic list of democracy organizers and activists. What a great way to head into 2025 with a squad and a plan!

Our friend Christopher Webb nails it with this thread! Middle Americas isn't flyover country and we need to listen to folks who call it home.

Union voters came out in big numbers for Democrats in November.

Have you ever wondered how Santa Claus became a man of so many names? From St. Nick to Santa to Kris Kringle, it’s a marvel that Rudolph isn’t completely confused about whom exactly he is working for. (via @us.theconversation.com )

Happy Holidays, friends! 🎅🎄

Enjoy your holidays, but buckle up for a wild 2025. Next year, Tariff Clause is coming to town.

Do the Republicans give cash awards for 'Who can be the worst human'?

Bang up job there, Huckster! #47 out of 50 according to US News across 8 factors.

A federal policy change in the 1980s that was supposed to reward the biggest retail chains for their efficiency instead devastated poor and rural communities by pushing out grocery stores and inflating the cost of food.

Far-right Republican Rep. Doug Mastriano shared a hoax drone photo (a Star Wars tie fighter), and to save face he tried to play it off as satire. It's obviously not, and it's embarrassing that a former military officer posted this.

This breakup is going to be ugly.

The Farm Bureau does not want a shutdown…

Regression.

I trust you, taggers
