@nealkatyal.bsky.social: “You’ve got the president who's imposed the largest tax increase on American consumers since 1993 … and he did it without Congress saying one word. That is not our constitutional structure.”
Does that “do no harm” part of a doctor’s oath carry over when he becomes a US Senator? If so, Senator Cassidy has some serious corrections to make.
It’s almost as if appointing an anti-vax lunatic with zero qualifications to oversee America’s health was a numbskull idea and everybody with a functioning brain knew it.
I must have missed all the Law and Order SVU episodes where they didn't interview the victims and just asked the criminals what happened.
I am able to enjoy these great Cracker Barrel pancakes at home while MAGA has to go without because of the new logo boycott. MAGA cancel culture. Sad!
The president of the United States is trying to steal congressional seats so I don’t give a fuck about the Cracker Barrel logo discussion. Good night and have a pleasant tomorrow.
Play me Coach!
If you’re trying to make it harder for people to vote, stop pretending to give a shit about democracy. Every American - regardless of their political views - deserves to have their voice heard.
I just hope we can get rid of mail-in ballots so that we can have elections as free of corruption as those in Russia.
Veterans already face so many obstacles when in need of medical care. To see VA hospitals reporting even more severe staffing shortages is gutting. Lauren Boebert voted to cut VA funding because she doesn't view caring for veterans as her job. Well, I disagree. Let's vote her out. wapo.st/45G9oj4
Life comes at you fast
Dang! Twice this month I’ve agreed with Tom Massie!
But I was told by everyone on the right that the only person who could deploy the National Guard (or prevent the deployment of the National Guard) was Nancy Pelosi.
I was 6 when the Corporation for Public Broadcasting was founded in 1967, so my whole conscious life has been enriched by its work. So many thanks to the good and creative people who worked hard to try and educate and enlighten us all.
I remember when this happened.

The Epstein files should really be called the Schrödinger/ Epstein files.
REPORTER: Will you commit to include California in any disaster aid package? MIKE JOHNSON: We've not seen the formal disaster relief request from California yet REPORTER: The formal request was sent to your office in February
Today's "Did You Know?"...
If someone doesn’t ask Karoline Leavitt why she posted on social media that this bill includes no taxes on Social Security when she knows it is a lie and she intentionally lied to the American people, everyone in the room should lose their jobs.
This is not in the bill. Just a total lie.
McGovern: "A family making less than $50,000 a year? They get less than $1 a day in tax cuts. You can't buy a damn cup of coffee with that. But those making a million dollars or more? They'll get more than $250 a day in tax breaks ... that's how rigged this bill is to benefit the wealthy."
ABSO-fucking-LUTELY!
A sitting U.S. Congressman is demanding the deportation of a U.S. citizen because he doesn’t like a democratic election result.
If someone shows up with no badge, no name, no ID, no warrant, and their fucking face covered that’s not law enforcement, that’s a goddamn kidnapping. It should be illegal, and the fact that it isn’t already is a terrifying failure of democracy and the law.
And then there is Sen. Bill Cassidy, MD voting to confirm Kennedy.
Do they really think they can scare us with the word “socialist” when they are literally sending out men in masks with no warrants and no badges to disappear people off American streets? I know what I’m scared of, and it’s not a socialist.
If you’re zip-tying grandmas protesting losing health care maybe you’re not the good guys in the story?
I think that the outcome in the NY Mayoral race and the Wisconsin Supreme Court race both show that people power CAN beat the political money machine. That should give us all hope, and the motivation to work for the government we want.
Perhaps the Taco Bell Grease Prize.
Touché.
Amen! Totally agree with this!
illegal war started by a man constitutionally ineligible to be president
Here's an idea. Dem Governors & Mayors should be ordering their local law enforcement to arrest any & all unidentified and masked alleged ICE agents. If a random guy in a mask grabbed someone and threw them in a vehicle, we'd call that a kidnapping. Why not here? 1/2
It’s a good thing Congress isn’t alive to see this
Congressman Jason Smith is a slack-jawed embarrassment to the state of Missouri...
If you’ve got a badge and a gun but think your actions are shameful enough to need a mask, you should quit.
Such a hypocrite.
Juneteenth is the perfect moment to remind everyone of two facts: 1. Those who don’t learn from history are doomed to repeat it. 2. Those who prevent history from being taught are plotting to repeat it. Read this out loud. Read it again. Then teach it to your kids.
Hard to argue with that.
The same people demanding you present a photo ID to vote are perfectly fine with letting you be arrested, handcuffed & thrown into a van by armed men wearing plain clothes, face masks & presenting no identification of any sort.
The claims that McIver, Padilla, and Lander were committing assault should make you question every other time LEOs claim assault or resisting arrest, if you weren’t already.
I signed the final bills Melissa Hortman shepherded through the most narrowly divided legislature in the county. All of them bipartisan. We debated, we found common ground, and we compromised. That’s how democracy should function.
The sentence structure is far too complex for the orange Julius Caesar to have written it.
I think Stephen Miller is running the show. I think the "Truth" post this morning was his. I think the direction to go after Dem run cities is his. The 24 hour reversal to keep targeting everyone is his. 📞 your congress people to get him out! Pressure them!
The crowd size was huge at Trump’s birthday parade! 😂
I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III. Sound familiar?

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but “I was only following orders” was rejected as a defense at the Nuremberg Trials.
For those who may be worried. The head of the National Guard, the Chief of the National Guard Bureau, General Steven S. Nordhaus, has stated that the National Guard will not follow illegal orders. This is consistent with the principle that military personnel are obligated to disobey unlawful orders
We don’t serve a king. He can’t do whatever he wants.
The administration that is now using protests in Los Angeles to justify federalizing the National Guard supported Trump when he pardoned January 6 protestors who overran the Capitol.
I remember the good old days when Secretaries of Defense didn’t insert themselves unsolicited into domestic politics on a daily basis. Not what the job is supposed to be about.
Your oath is to the Constitution. The President violates the Constitution. If he orders you to violate the Constitution… Your oath remains to the Constitution.
This is why *none* of his nominees should have been approved by Dem senators. An absolute abomination.
** Evidence You Might Be In A Cult ** You follow one charismatic Leader. In your Leader’s mind, your Leader can do no wrong. In your mind, your Leader can do no wrong. Your Leader demonizes dissidents & outsiders. Loyalty's the ultimate measure of your devotion. You don't know you're in a Cult
Guys, it's the oligarchs. If you want to blame someone for 2024, blame the oligarchs. Anyone telling you to blame someone else is part of the oligarchy. Dark money has been to blame since citizens united.
lol
The FTC is investigating Media Matters because Leon is still screeching about advertisers fleeing Twitter. Maybe, just maybe, he shouldn’t have allowed the app to turn into a toxic cesspool and then told advertisers to go eff themselves. 🙄
It’s time to turn the lights out on Lauren Boebert
You just defined a cult.

Taking a bribe in a very public way doesn't mean you aren't corrupt, it means your corruption is shameless.
Ike knew...
Things the president of the United States said on meet the press today: He doesn’t know if he has to follow the constitution He’s fine with a recession Americans can do with less Small businesses are just “a couple of little businesses”
