@repjeffries @senschumer @aoc @repraskin @repjasmine @reprobertgarcia Strategy/branding idea: Set up microphones in view of the demolition of the East Wing. Make sure Americans see that image every day. Politics is influenced by images now over policy. It is the perfect metaphor. Elon used ⤵️

Obama: "When you see an administration suggest that ordinary street crime is an insurrection or a terrorist act, that is a genuine effort to weaken how we have understood democracy."

😂

I just listened to stats from Trump’s polling firm that said that if they take away the ACA subsidies, Republicans are -15%. If they keep the subsidies, they are +4%. My premiums would go up to probably about $1500 a month. But, on a purely political level, we should let them hang themselves.

The flew the entire military leadership in so they could see for themselves that the Secretary of Defense is a mouthbreathing dipshit and the Commander in Chief is a senile, weak old man who might keel over at any moment.

Congratulations, @repjeffries and @senschumer. You didn’t listen to YOUR base and tried to negotiate with a terrorist. You allowed him to humiliate and diminish you. Turn over the reins to AOC and Chris Murphy.

We have literal fascists holding the puppet strings over our wannabe king, executing autocratic executive orders & lawsuits faster than Victor Orban did —but centrist Democrats are afraid to embrace DEMOCRATIC socialists in our supposedly “big tent?” This is why Republican propaganda works. Dems ⤵️

Quinnipiac in recent poll asked: Do you think that the way people talk about politics these days is contributing to violence in the United States, or don't you think so? 82% of voters agreed with this including majority of Dems, Independents, and GOP. I said basically this and got fired.

It’s actually kind of hysterical that Trump and his goons are trying to say that the left has this highly organized terrorist network. Anybody who’s ever been a Democrat knows that trying to get people in our party to act together is like herding cats. 🐈‍⬛

Some of us do.

Trump won’t meet. Dems should be mocking him for his image of being a deal guy. Biden negotiated big legislation with Republicans successfully. In 2 terms, Trump has yet to do that. There is no art of the deal. He is an imposter. Other people do the work & he takes credit. GO ON OFFENSE.

According to some good polls, 20% of Republicans believe that sometimes it be be necessary to use violence to achieve political ends. 10% of Democrats believe that. That means that 80- 90% of us, do not believe that violence is an appropriate way to achieve political ends. We unfortunately have ⤵️

Do Fox News hosts and commentators agree with their colleague Brian Kilmeade that the United States should "just kill" homeless people? He still has a job. No apology. No retraction. Just let us know, Fox.

Absolutely right!

Narcissists move on when someone is of no use to them anymore.

Biden travel to Kyiv in a war zone. Captain Canckles ambled around in the affluent part of DC surrounded by national guard. What a fucking joke he is

Daily insanity. Sometimes I wonder how Merrick Garland, John Roberts and Mitch McConnell think about how things are going. They, and the millions of people who didn’t vote for Kamala Harris in 2024 because they were pissed about this thing or that thing and ignored the dangers of project 2025.

Thank you, @mollyjongfast.bsky.social on Fast Politics pod.

Pretty remarkable that Donald Trump didn’t deploy the national Guard in DC when his rioters were beating the crap out of police and storming the United States Capitol, but let “Big Balls” be the victim of a car jacking, and he’s used it as an excuse to deploy military in DC.

“Across the country, Republicans are waging a calculated campaign to erase Black and Latino political power through extreme gerrymandering. This isn’t just about redrawing maps—it’s about dismantling representation and silencing communities that have fought the hardest to be heard.”

THERE. IS. NO. EMERGENCY. REQUIRING. MILITARY. OCUPATION. AGAINST. US. CITIZENS.

Everything Donald Trump is doing today because two 15-year-olds carjacked Big Balls’s car he could’ve done on January 6, 2021 to stop the violence at the Capitol. But, he didn’t.

It seems like JD Vance has been on vacation more than he’s been working the last seven months. On the taxpayers dime. Must be nice, huh?

STFU, RFK Jr, you ridiculous idiot. You don't care about the wellbeing of patients. You care about politics. You are actively undermining doctors' ability to protect their patients from measles and COVID. Your party forces women who have miscarried to bleed out in parking lots over your politics.

Folks can wish for another party as much as you want, but our system isn’t set up for 3rd parties to have any viability to win & don’t do the footwork of building a party from the ground up in state/local elections. We just have grifters who come in every so often in presidential elections & ⤵️

I wonder if Krysten Sinema has any regrets about helping Republicans block changing the filibuster to pass the John Lewis voting rights act in 2021. Now, we face Illegal gerrymandering for midterms & section 2 before the Trump SCOTUS which will virtually destroy what remains of the voting rights act

Trump talking about why farmers have to hire undocumented immigrants: “These people in the inner-city [read Blacks] don’t do that kind of work... They [Latinos] are “built” [read genetically suited] for farm work….” This was exactly the kind of language that whites used to justify slavery.

Stephen Colbert is going SCORCHED EARTH right now. To RFK Jr: “Fuck you, you roid-addled nepo carnie! Fuck you, you roadkill-munching Luddite human slim jim!”

With all this focus on redecorating the White House, is it possible that the old man is confused and thinks he’s the FLOTUS instead of POTUS? I mean, it might be confusing because Melania is AWOL. God help us if he picks the Christmas decorations. It’ll make those creepy red trees look cozy..

Do Trump‘s people not screen people well, or does he consciously surround himself with terrible men? Because one of the athletes standing with him at the White House when he announced bringing back the presidential fitness test for children is a REGISTERED SEX OFFENDER. A REGISTERED SEX OFFENDER.

Yet another principled departure from an outlet I once loved ... "The Constitution gives us the inherent, unapologetically patriotic right to rail against such affronts to democracy and the rule of law. The First Amendment demands it." ‼️

Republicans accuse Democrats of “re-distributing wealth” and “socialism” when we want to pass policies and programs that help the working and middle classes. Republicans are redistributing wealth UPWARDS. Democrats should be talking about this every day.

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social @democrats.org @kenmartin.bsky.social ARE YOU GOING TO JUST LET THAT SOCIOPATH GET AWAY WITH LYING ABOUT PRESIDENT OBAMA AND DOING THE RACIST EMPHASIS on “HUSSEIN” AGAIN? WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU? DEFEND OUR LEADERS FFS! THEY DEFEND TRUMP FOR INDEFENSIBLE ThINGS ⤵️

Fl this guy.

Where is Jake Tapper??? 🧐

I’m trying to understand what’s up with engagement at @bsky.app I have more than 3x as many followers here that I do on threads. I haven’t even been posting on 🧵until just recently when I did an experiment. This same post had only 2 likes here, but went a bit viral over on threads with 1M+ views.

Alligator Alcatraz = internment camp. This broke me… “32 individuals inside a cage. It was 81° where we were standing…inside it was probably even hotter. How do I know? Because there was individuals sweating with their shirt off, while they chanted libertad, libertad, libertad.” - State Sen Jones

i give it a year tops before some administration account is tweeting pro-slavery propaganda

MAGA falling in line quickly after the Epstein fallout shows the difference between the right & the far left. The right wants to hold onto power no matter what grievances they have with their leader. For 50 years, they kept their focus on getting a majority on SCOTUS to overturn 1/2 ⤵️

The more they tell us to stop talking about Epstein the more we need to talk about Epstein

More of this. We have to call him out for what he is. A criminal and a rapist and the most corrupt president we’ve ever had.
