The President of the United States is publicly calling for the political prosecution of his political opponents, urging the death penalty because they urged soldiers to uphold the rule of law. This should be front page news everywhere. It is not, which tells much about how we got to this point.

Has anyone tried putting him in a bag of rice?

If only the Orange King was the backbone of the right wing movement. He’s just a front man. The real danger is behind him, obscured from view. ONE of the biggest problems we have is the Supreme Corruption who broke the Constitution to allow him on the ballot. They have lifetime appointments.

Maybe irony isn’t dead after all.

There’s still time to call senators. Let me explain. Sorry not sorry about the cat. He’s also really upset about this deal.

Call them… express the disappointment and anger from “we the people”.

Call them… express the disappointment and anger from “we the people”.

@smith.senate.gov please do not cave, or let your colleagues cave on the shutdown. We must protect health care. We must not concede. We must RESIST even though we may suffer in doing so.

@amyklobuchar.com Do NOT settle on the shutdown without protecting the ACA. We the people will hang on… conceding we lose everything.

Power didn’t scare her, and neither does history. Nancy Pelosi led when others hid, stood tall when others folded. She got us through the first Trump term fearlessly. A fighter. A force. A first. All the flowers for a leader who never blinked. 🌹

Last year after the election, I reflected: "When we fight, we win—but sometimes the fight takes awhile." Last night, we saw Democratic victories across our nation. I am so proud of these enthusiastic, principled, inspirational leaders who will continue to fight for our nation, ideals, and progress.

Thank you Nancy Pelosi, you have served us well.

Eighty-eight years ago, in his Second Inaugural Address, Franklin D. Roosevelt told America that “the test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much; it is whether we provide enough for those who have too little.”

"Vaccines are a victim of their own success. Because vaccines have been so successful, people think we don’t need them anymore. We’re going to see this reemergence of diseases that we haven’t seen for decades with the withdrawal of these vaccine requirements." thehill.com/homenews/sta...

I am old enough to remember when Dick Cheney set the bar for evil

it's time for journos to start asking Johnson meta questions "Speaker, on 5 occasions last week you said 'I haven't seen it' when asked about news events w/big implications for public policy. Do you ever read the news, and do you agree it's problematic for the Speaker to be so woefully uninformed?"

It's not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities. [Cartoon by Jesse Duquette]

Walz: "They are paying contractors to pay down the East Wing but they're not putting money into the food bank. So if there's a sense of frustration in America, it's very real ... when the White House press secretary said their top priority is the ballroom, we could not disagree more."

Trump: "They have Jasmine Crockett -- a low IQ person. AOC is low IQ. Have her pass the exams I decided to take when I was at Walter Reed. They're cognitive tests. Let AOC go against Trump. Let Jasmine go against Trump. The first couple questions are easy -- a tiger, an elephant, a giraffe ... "

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."

I haven’t seen anyone talk about how Jane Doe - an Epstein survivor - just sued the Bank of New York Mellon for funding Epstein and failing to file a Suspicious Activity Report. A Mellon heir is the one who gave $130M to pay the troops. Seems bribey to me.

Today’s words: disheartening, vile, infuriating. Time to get outside!

Chris Murphy: "There's a lot of history that has taken place in the East Wing & it was just destroyed without any conversation in the public, without any consent of Congress. It's absolutely illegal. That visual is powerful b/c you're watching destruction of the rule of law as those walls come down"

Feeling pretty frustrated with mainstream press. Their lack of coverage, soft coverage, and both-siderism is part of what’s keeping D.rump in power. Add in the corrupt Supreme Court and the spineless Republican House... #abc #nbc #cbs #fox

as far as just messaging goes that video is probably the most embarrassing thing any president has done on the world stage in my life and the fact that the sunday shows wont even describe it? total abdication of their responsibility

Great turnout for a small town. Sweet day #NoKings

I think the Nobel people need a new award. One for patience. Give it to President Zelensky. Having to sit in that room with that ass again and again.

Chris Christie: “Thie is no longer, the Department of Justice, is no longer the premier prosecuting office in America. What it is now is a capo regime who goes out and executes hits when directed by the Don to do so. That’s what it is.”

Epstein files giving House Republicans over two months paid vacation and counting.

Sending strength to Joe Biden as he begins radiation and hormone therapy for prostate cancer. Few people have given more of themselves in service to this country. Wishing him comfort and healing surrounded by family and love.

And the sky was happy until it heard about the coastal storm that’s coming.

Pritzker: "It's unconscionable. This has never happened before. They're calling out troops onto the streets of a state that doesn't want them and they're not even telling us where they're gonna go, what they're gonna do. This hasn't happened I don't think since the Civil War."

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

SCHIFF: If a video exists of Homan taking $50k in bribe money from the FBI, will you support a request to provide it to the committee? BONDI: You can talk to Director Patel about that SCHIFF: I'm talking to you about it BONDI: Will you apologize to Donald Trump?

Love this. Superbly done. Please send this far and wide. @donwinslow.bsky.social

A Texas megachurch pastor and GOP leader has been arrested for crimes against children. Not Robert Morris, a different one. Not Josiah Anthony, a different one. Not Luke Cunningham, a different one. Not Tony Evans, a different one. Not Scott Crenshaw, a different one. Not Steve Lawson, a different o
