Ossoff: "It's been extraordinary to see the Speaker of the House reduced to lying in order to cover up sex crimes"
Massie: "The Speaker of the House just offered a fig leaf to my colleagues. They're gonna vote on a non-binding resolution today that does absolutely nothing ... they're allowing the DOJ to curate all of the information that the DOJ is giving them ... the perpetrators are being protected"
Pritzker: "Any rational person who has spent even the most minimal amount of time studying human history has to ask themselves one important question: once they get the citizens of this nation comfortable with the current atrocities committed under the color of law, what comes next?"
It’s great to see this
Portland, Maine crowd as Democratic US Senate candidate Graham Platner takes the stage today.
The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns. The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate. Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care. The list goes on and on. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.
If Ashli Babbitt's parents really wanted to avenge her death they would, instead of pitifully whitewashing her legacy, be suing Fox News for filling their child's gullible head with dangerous nonsense that directly led to her death.
This woman actually looks like a person unable to discern fact from fiction
As long as guns are easily available to crazy people, mass killings directed at so-called soft targets will continue. This is a fact. Countries where it's more difficult for crazy people to obtain guns have less shootings. This is also a fact. Do with these facts as you will.
Welch: He claims that he's the law and order president. But we all know that's a lie because he's a convicted felon. He pardons convicted felons, he surrounds himself with obsequious people that kiss his all day, every day
This administration of extremists, quacks, and grifters continues to endanger the lives and health of millions
Abbe Lowell and I represent CDC Director #SusanMonarez. Contrary to govt statements, Dr. Monarez has neither resigned nor yet been fired. She will not resign. We have issued the following statement:
😂😂😂
My current favorite bit of right-wing Christian hypocrisy is Ken Paxton, a man whose wife is divorcing him for adultery, forcing Texas schools to unconstitutionally post "Thou Shalt Not Commit Adultery." www.houstonchronicle.com/news/houston...
That’s a little short weave rug
Pritzker: This is not about fighting crime. This is about the President and his complicit lackey, Stephen Miller, searching for ways to lay the groundwork to circumvent our democracy, militarize our cities, and end elections.
Schiff on the Bolton raid: "They're essentially going after any critic, any opposition in an effort to intimidate them. That's what this is about. It's not about Bolton per se. It's about anyone else that like Bolton might stand up to the president."
Martin Luther King Jr once said, “The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice.” While that is reassuring, I think the United States is currently testing the tensile strength of that arc with all the injustice, hatred, and corruption it is piling on.
Newsom: I mean, even poor Kid Rock — these guys, they’ve gotten a little precious, haven’t they? The folks at Fox are like, “Oh, this is so unbecoming of a governor. Oh, oh.” And meanwhile, they sit there reading his tweets every single day. Are they really that out of touch?
This President is truly embarrassing
here's clips of Elise Stefanik getting brutally booed at an event today in her district
It’s delusional grandiosity

Republicans are all such hypocrites
‘The only way to negotiate with Russia is with a gun on the table’ - Dovilė Šakalienė, Lithuanian Minister of Defence. Absolutely correct.
Trump is clearly afraid of Putin. We have a miserable coward for a president
“Putin would eat you for lunch.” Today, exactly that happened.
Trump turns my stomach
Just for those who may be a little confused: This is how an American president should treat Putin.
Trump is totally Beta when he is with Putin
Older adults looking for an affordable place to retire are also relocating to the more affordable Midwest. I recently moved from the Seattle area to the Cincinnati area and cut my housing costs in half …plus I’m loving it here.
@gavinnewsom.bsky.social: "I think he should start with Shreveport, Louisiana, and Speaker Johnson's district that has 6x the per capita murder rate of Nancy Pelosi's San Francisco. What about the carnage, Mr. President, in Shreveport? Why aren't you protecting the folks there? What bullshit."
Newsom has the right energy for this perilous time in our nations history.
Newsom: If California, one of the most un-Trumped states in America, is not successful, it’s at our peril. We may not get this back. I’m telling you, we may not. He is rigging this next midterm election before one vote is cast. He tried to wreck our democracy after the last vote was cast last time.
I fucking love this!
Well done, Alaska.
Newsom: “Wake up, America. If he rigs this election, you won’t have a country anymore.”
I believe in free speech but why couldn’t there be laws against foreign billionaires broadcasting “news” in the US?
Newsom has exactly the right attitude for this moment

This is exactly why Dems get their ass handed to them by Trump's world. They have no clue how to leverage social media algos to their advantage. open.substack.com/pub/weaponiz...
Sounds about right.
💯.
Here’s a 🔥🔥exchange between me and Mick Mulvaney during @mehdirhasan.bsky.social's brilliant interview of Mulvaney on Al Jazeera's Head to Head. The whole episode is worth a watch, and you can find it on @aljazeera.com's YouTube channel.
McGowan: He seems to be getting rid of statisticians and climate people and weather experts and scientists and anyone who doesn't agree with what he wants to tell or what he wants to say.
To please Great Leader, the Smithsonian has removed Trump from its Impeachment Exhibit. Now, only Andrew Johnson and Bill Clinton are shown as having been impeached. (Nixon resigned before the vote.) We are only minutes away from Barack Obama being removed from photographs à la Joseph Stalin.
Hasan Piker likes fitness, gaming, and progressive politics, and millions of young men flock to him for his opinions. Is he the Joe Rogan of the left that Democrats are looking for? Hasan says no.
This is exactly what I was saying to someone earlier today.
Spot on. It’s happening right now…this is how it starts.
The fact we have secret police whisking people off the streets doesn’t get enough attention. It ain’t normal and we’re further down the road to authoritarianism than you think.
Remember: Ds must make this a career-ender for every R who votes for this monstrously cruel bill
No , this is just pro Russian propaganda. You know… we should all be afraid Russia will use a nuke in Ukraine
The Trump Christian Nationalist killing spree continues. These people are monsters.
When authoritarian leaders feel their grip slipping, they don’t go quietly. The stoke more division, spread bigger lies, blame others for their failures & escalate threats to institutions (like elections, courts, the press). A wounded narcissist with a loyal cult & no moral compass is dangerous.
Hey there Scott Walker. I noticed you deleted this after learning that in fact the shooter was from the right. I don’t think it matters either way, violence is violence, so I’m waiting for you to tweet the same thing with corrected facts? Cuz you’re uh, to use your words, “being silent.”
BREAKING: Senator Padilla after being thrown to ground and cuffed: “If this is how this administration responds to a senator with a question, if this is how the department of homeland security responds to a senator with a question, you can only imagine what they're doing to farmworkers..."
We are marching to Senator Thune’s office. There must be accountability for the detainment of a Senator. This is not normal.
Wish he could be our President. He seems intelligent, wise, measured, NORMAL!
He’s threatening media companies who are critical of him. He’s talking about sending Americans to foreign prisons. He’s signing executive orders to investigate former staff members who spoke out against him. He’s defying the Supreme Court. Don’t you see what’s happening here?
Casar: At the end of the day, this is about taking your hard-earned money and giving it to themselves—or funneling it to their friends. That’s all this is about.
Trumpers suddenly don’t give a damn about the cost of eggs, the Stock Market crashing, or losing their health insurance. That’s how indoctrinated into a cult of stupidity they are now.
I think it’s very funny that one of the go-to defenses for Trump’s very stupid version of mercantilism is “he’s had these views for forty years.” Oh well, then we absolutely *gotta* let him wreck the global economy if he’s believed this nonsense for long enough.
In years to come, the people who did this will be the ones who will go to jail.
Homan and his type are such effin snowflakes
I’m not sure this is a positive development. These animals are not suited to be pets and they can’t be released into the wild. So they are just going to sit in unhappy captivity. Is this a good thing?
We often look back on the seminal moments in our history and wonder "What would I have done?" This is our moment. This is our time. We must stand up. We must speak out. We must do everything we can to stop a President who has every intention of destroying our democracy.
Tax cuts for billionaires aren't free. They're paid for by the rest of us. Higher taxes. Fewer services. All to give the richest among us more money that they do not need.
I really do think we’re well beyond this point. If you pretend that your differences with friends and coworkers and family are about “politics” when in fact they’re about right versus wrong and fascism versus the rule of law, you’re doing your country a grave disservice.
The wanna be dictator won’t confront his hero . He wants to be just like Putin
Keep downplaying the protests at your own peril. Keep threatening Americans. The protests will only get bigger. Trump is hated. Musk is hated. The political winds have shifted. People are fed up. This is only the beginning.
Senator Booker: What kind of man is in the white house that makes fun of the disabled, who lies so much that the fact checkers lose count, that minimizes the pain and the suffering
Musk has so much to say about German and French and British and Ukrainian and South African internal politics but never a word about China or Russia. Strange, right? 🤔 www.politico.eu/article/elon...
"The problem with a delayed response is that the more power leaders with authoritarian tendencies accumulate, the harder it is to mount an effective resistance. The opposition is thus more likely to succeed if it acts early..." www.foreignaffairs.com/united-state...
America has never been subject to this level of authoritarianism, and quite frankly, sheer incompetence. Out of the ashes, this moment should radicalize us to embark on an era of new reform — of our economy, our democracy, and our commitment to social justice and the law.
As usual with the right wing manosphere , every accusation is a confession. Elon , you are the evil one.
So we could lose $200B in tourism, $100B in immigrants paying taxes, $100B in weapons manufacturing, $500B in lost tax revenue from firing IRS employees… is it sinking in yet?
CNN, "Can you envision a scenario where American and Danish forces somehow come face to face over Greenland?" Danish MP Rasmus Jarlov, "I certainly hope not but that's up to the American government" "We're not going to back down" "We're not going to hand over Greenland"
Kristi Noem is pretty much the definition of white trash.
“‘It is safe to say that anybody in uniform would be court-martialed for this,’ a defense official told CNN. ‘My most junior analysts know not to do this.’”
Elon is exhibit A in the diagram of soulless narcissists
Only a traitor without a shred of decency could do what trump is doing to Canada. These betrayals will come back to haunt us, mark my words.
😂👏😂
This isn't how gov't is supposed to work: The acting commissioner of Social Security admitted “I was ticked at the governor of Maine for not being real cordial to the president,” so I ended a program in Maine. www.pressherald.com/2025/03/25/s...
Bennet: Did you know the President’s Middle East advisor was in Moscow on this thread? This sloppiness, this incompetence, this disrespect for our intelligence agencies and the personnel who work for him is entirely unacceptable. It's an embarrassment
Hegseth looks like he really needs a drink.
From an operational security perspective, this is the highest level of fuckup imaginable. These people cannot keep America safe.
I mean very obviously Hegseth should resign, and if it were a Democratic administration this would be quickly be a consensus position.
These Trump cabinet members are truly devoid of principles and unmoored from reality or truth. The journalist referred to is actually very highly respected . Hegseth is gaslighting Americans
The Trump administration is descending into authoritarianism www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...
Something special is happening, people. Ignore it or downplay it at your own peril…
#TeslaTakedown #Boston every weekend!
AOC: If you are an LGBTQ kid or family, we cannot throw you under the bus in order to win an election. In this house, we stand together
Casar: On a roll? What I know is that when the ultra-rich and special interests were on a roll in the 1920s and started controlling the government, they crashed the economy and caused the Great Depression. We’ve got to stop that roll—we can’t let them do something like that again.
The crowds that AOC & Bernie Sanders are getting are MASSIVE. Here’s the current scenes in Denver. Thousands. #FightOligarchy (🎥: Bastian Brauns)
