Why can’t people see that the level of incompetence in this administration has lead to irreparable harm & more is to come?!
Republicans complain about Texas Democrats “fleeing”—yet just days ago, they themselves fled D.C. to avoid voting on the Epstein files. Why? To protect a convicted felon sitting in the Oval Office. One side dodges accountability. The other fights for democracy. Repost @djmelodie
Republicans in Texas Voted out a new illegal map faster than they voted on a piece of legislation for the families in Kerr County that are still suffering… THEIR PRIORITIES ARE CRYSTAL CLEAR!

Kudos to Her Agenda for recognizing that a woman on a mission can change the world!
DeSantis is heckled at an event today
If you don't already, watch Colbert. He is a man with no more f*cks left to give. And it's glorious. Check out this song parody from last night's show: Mike Johnson Delays House Epstein Vote Until September
South Park!!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz after touring "Alligator Alcatraz": "These detainees are living in cages. The pictures you've seen don't do it just. They are essentially packed into cages. 34 detainees per cage...they get their drinking water & they brush their teeth where they poop, in the same unit"
www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news... No one is Safe in the United States from The Convicted Felon and Rapist Regime even Americans. The Convicted Felon and Rapist ICE will lie just to get Americans arrested. We have seen enough videos of their lies.
I’ll say it again.. All we have to do is DOCUMENT the undocumented! There ,immigration problem solved! By the way, this is how we’ve done it for our entire history My great grandfather came from Italy 1863 , landed at Ellis, was DOCUMENTED, sent to Manhattan and “good luck, welcome to America”!
Jeffries, still going strong 8 hours in: "Extraordinary to me, Mr. Speaker, that you got folks in this town talking about draining the swamp. Guess what. You are the swamp ... we've never seen anything like this -- the type of corruption that has been unleashed on the American people."
Thank you to you, the people! Your fight is showing up! You’ve raised your voices & concerns to the extent that some members have decided to listen to you! Keep learning, educating, & speaking, AND WE WILL ALL come out better & stronger!
We know you will claim you didn’t know what was in it… you will claim you got duped… you will claim that you made a deal… etc etc… you ultimately will deliver a devastating blow to people who trusted you & hope that the billionaires whose backs you had… have yours!
Why republicans try to make this dramatic and draw it out, is beyond me! They’ve not been able to stand for the PEOPLE that put them in office ever since the Cult leader entered the signal chat. Yes, we know what you all will do! Just do it and be done! The antics are played out.
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."

I am going to pause to say thank you to @SenateDems & ALL PEOPLE who have been engaged in education & activation! Thank you to those that are calling your Senators! I will do my part in the house, if we get that far! 🤞🏾
President thinks he’s playing battleship, I was informed that my dear friend passed away. 😩 With all that is happening, please take the time to love on your people. Tomorrow is truly not promised to any of us.
My heart is heavy… as I sought to navigate bold representation of my district in this very disturbing time, sought to lead Oversight & ACCOUNTABILITY (what it used to be called) for the Dem Caucus, & sought to advise Americans of how to stay safe as our
✅Illegal & expensive Tariff War ✅Illegal & callous decimation of the federal workforce. ✅Illegal invasion of Iran. REMIND ME, again… who are the “ILLEGALS?”
NEWS: Senate Parliamentarian says GOP scheme to limit federal court preliminary injunctions by requiring plaintiffs challenging government actions to post large bonds cannot be part of reconciliation bill. A victory for Democrats, rule of law and the courts and a defeat for Trump and the GOP.
Schiff: "It's not an operation that should've ever been authorized by the president in the absence of intelligence showing that Iran had made the decision to break out and build a bomb."
Take note.
Happy JUNETEENTH! Tune into The View today to see a familiar face engage in a real conversation about what freedom should look like & politics as a whole.
I am at a loss for words! The amount of hate & political violence seems never ending when it comes to Trump & his people. There is literally NO good that he brings out of people… just darkness. We need compassionate & educated warriors, leading our nation not incompetent hateful assholes!
It’s possibly as wild as the party of States’ Rights supporting an out of control executive overbearingly & grossly attacking people in California. AGAIN, what was so bad about intelligence, grace, competency, & compassion? #DontRussiaMyUSA
Images of tanks pulling up for a huge PARADE that NO ONE asked for that will cost money & take military personnel away from more important things at a time when Americans are being told we don’t have money for food & healthcare seems wild to me.
So I heard Republicans are confused and waiting for Jerry Springer to tell them who their daddy is before any legislation can move! Is Elon their daddy or Trump?
3) an average ICE BONUS of ~$44k (BONUS 🤯) 4) And will there be a tax on tips? YES! AND HERE IS THE KICKER, we still would need to raise the debt ceiling 5 trillion dollars! AFTER all the pain being inflicted on the 99 percenters. it still isn’t enough to pay for the TAX CUTS for the rich!
Let me make this simple: 1) People have been fired - our economy & governmental services have been interrupted because of the firings. 2) The proposed budget includes - cuts to federal worker’s benefits, cuts to Medicaid, cuts to food assistance, & deep tax cuts for the RICH,
Yesterday was a busy one, but I’m always humbled & grateful for any positive recognitions that I receive. Thank you to the Webby Awards & the NAACP!
I told those young people that their time was now… but I know that many will tell them it is not. it is clear that each of the above-mentioned people did NOT wait their turn & simply did what needed to be done— that’s leadership.
In my recent graduation address to students at @Tougaloo_1869, I stated that I’m older than: Medgar Evers, MLK, & Malcom X were when they were assassinated. I am a few years younger than @BarackObama was when he was elected President.
sadly, is a dangerous business, but college students don’t deserve this. *you consistently prove me right & just as this was the only campus that MLK could speak at in Mississippi in the 1960s… it’s 2025, and this country is still stuck on hate…I’m proud to say Tougaloo is tough & so am I.
No low is too low for MAGA… now explain to me why an institution would be receiving threats because of the commencement speech that I GAVE. This type of behavior is why I’m constantly having to be protected & I understand that truth telling in this country;
Crockett: He wants there to be a portion of the budget that goes up to $1 trillion on the defense side. They have failed the very last seven audits. So why would they continue to get raises, which they always do. Yet we're going to hurt the most vulnerable amongst us.
Thank you so much for your service!
For those curious to learn more about me… this is written from the perspective of a friend that has known me for more than 20 years. Enjoy! open.substack.com/pub/tashabur...
The richest 0.1% of Americans control $22 trillion in wealth. The bottom 50% control $3.8 trillion in wealth. Read that back. Folks, this is what oligarchy looks like.
No apologies necessary.
Can we get a do-over? Asking for the sane WORLD that wants off of this disastrous rollercoaster known as the Trump Administration/Crime syndicate/moronic monsters.
Just sat down on the Capitol Steps with my good friend @booker.senate.gov to have a real conversation about the dangerous situation we confront in America. And what we can all do to stop it. Tune in live: www.youtube.com/watch?v=XBej...
A headline from Hell. @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/live/2025/04...
This is your regular reminder that executive orders are not royal decrees. Because America has no king.
Walz: If you say you love freedom but you don't believe freedom is for everybody, then the thing you love is not freedom, it is privilege.
We live in a time that people are more inclined to obey an unlawful executive order than they are to follow a court order 🤦🏾♀️. Dictators are created due to cruelty, cowardice, & compliance! IF THEIR ASSES will ignore the Supreme Court, we can definitely IGNORE HIM!

Last night, I sat down & discussed all the drama with @jimmykimmel.com. Did you get a chance to catch us? Give me your thoughts 👇🏾
EVIL!!!
So are we still more upset about Diverse, but qualified, yet presumed unqualified hires, than DUI hires? (Asking for anyone who cares about US National Security) Pete Hegseth needs to go for the safety of the United States & the allies that we still have.
I’m glad SCOTUS stepped in & stopped that plane from taking off. Deporting folks with no record & no due process isn’t justice—it’s cruelty. Meanwhile, the Republicans follow a convicted felon like he’s the Second Coming. You can’t scream “law & order” while breaking the law at every turn.
They are obviously slow learners
Anyone else remember when insider trading and stock manipulation were illegal???
Can this finally put an end to the idea that Republicans are fiscally responsible?
Dementia Don it is!
It’s not passed the senate and I’m not sure it has a path. They can filibuster and should.
UPDATE: The House just passed the SAVE Act with a 220-208 vote that included 4 Democrats voting in support of the bill. This bill effectively codifies one of Trump's executive orders and will disenfranchise tens of millions of American voters.
*the first line is an ode to one of my fav signs from this weekend as people hit the streets in protest.
We are in session & some republicans are saying they are ready to reassert our constitutional authority over tariffs, but let’s get a discharge petition going & get it on the floor to help ALL AMERICANS! This is the time for action, not words.
They are are eating the checks; they are eating the balances. The economy is a wreck, but they are pretending we are in a palace. At the stroke of midnight the tarriffs will invoke more madness & the only question will be who will keep their lips tight & who will fight For the people that is!
It’s time for Congress to reign in the Mad King. These tariffs haven’t even hit for real and the world is off the rails. Politically, it’s helpful to Dems, but this is why I’m not a good politician b/c I care too deeply about the harm on all people, even on those that hate my very existence.
Yes, the stock market may be tanking and our national security apparatus has never been more vulnerable and we're on the verge of both economic collapse and war, but it was all worth it to keep pronouns out of email signatures.
The fact that everything around us is burning to the ground & some people still have no clue that they voted for the arsonist or are complicit in the arson is absolutely mind boggling. People are ok with it so long as the black woman isn’t their President 🤯. America, we have a problem!
Tomorrow join the convo on IG LIVE!
Harris Faulkner's Fox News show has been on for 20 minutes now. She has not mentioned tariffs or stocks once and a stock ticker isn't being displayed. Strong state media vibes.
NEWS: Whirlpool Corp. announces Iowa's largest layoff of 2025 in Amana manufacturing facility. Nearly 1/3 of the company’s workforce in the Iowa facility will be let go due to current market conditions.
Hate won the election! We are only UNITED in our current suffering! It’s sad that social issues that have nothing to do with if you have food, clothes, nor a home, divided us. The hate for groups of people allowed him to make us less safe domestically, economically, and frankly mentally.
The stock market is collapsing, and that means the retirement savings of everyday Americans are disappearing by the hour. This is all because of Trump's reckless mismanagement of the economy. Now, these tariffs that are being imposed will raise the cost of goods for everyday Americans.
Using Signal for our national security is clearly a feature not a glitch of this new administration 🤦🏾♀️!
"I don't want a Disney vacation of our history! I don't a whitewashed history, I don't want a homogenized history. Tell me the wretched truth about America, because that speaks to our greatness" -- 20 hours into his speech, Cory Booker is spitting absolute 🔥
so my favorite dive bar in WI passed up showing tonight’s Bucks game so they could show live poll results. when the election was called for Crawford, the whole bar started chanting, “Fuck El*n”. the bartender pulled out the good stuff and handed out free shots to us all—an absolutely electric nite
Well well well, I guess Wisconsin agreed on the message for old Elon: “F’ off!”
Not exactly but would make it more likely. They pulled stefanik’s nomination. We needed to take all 3 seats to flip the house AND we’ve got 2 open dem seats that need to be filled.
I couldn’t love this more! I’m needing to confirm that the fact that I’m feeling icky has nothing to do with Covid so that I can do my part in committee today.
Florida & Wisconsin, I hope you understand the assignment today! The entire Country, no World, is watching you. Please show up in record numbers and support candidates who will support the constitution & not the con!
Thank you Senator @corybooker.com! That’s the post…
This keeps getting worse and worse.
MAGA: Million dollar give aways in elections… that sounds good! ALSO MAGA: don’t give water to people standing in long lines in the heat… that’s election fraud. 🤯 Maybe if the water is worth millions, that will be acceptable. 🤷🏾♀️ Go vote WISCONSIN!!!!
☺️ The people are using their constitutional rights and it’s beautiful!
Thank you!
Thank you!
Thanks!
IT GETS WORSE Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth brought his wife, a former Fox News producer, to two meetings with foreign military counterparts where sensitive information was discussed, according to multiple people who were present or had knowledge of the discussions. New via @wsj.com:
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 thank you for being there.
I’ll bring this up to see who is best to carry this one. 🙏🏾
Well if she’s violated Florida bar rules she can be reprimanded. I’m not licensed in Florida to know all of their rules, but I saw someone post about filing for maybe 3 violations that they thought she’d engaged in.
You are optimistic! They’ve been closing civil rights departments in almost all agencies that have them… they started at Justice and they’ve slashed it at education. 😐
They still DON’T! They’ve been trying to figure out which attack works on me. Please believe… they want me quiet and if I refuse to be they at least want dems to ignore what I have to say.
I AGREE! Every damn day!
He’s been the worst on accessibility issues! From voting to education! The thing is republicans don’t care… they want empathetic dems to be upset, but also the idea that there is a universal meaning to it & they are telling me what was in my head is wild… what happened to the free speech warriors?
Sooner or later, the toilet paper thing happens during every trump presidency
Who is gonna tell MAGA that DEI includes an A(ccessibility)? I mean clearly they are all in, now, maybe? Check my record & compare it to the republicans & it is clear where I stand… now back to, oh signal gate & lying to the Senate!
SIGNAL GATE is a threat! The incompetence that many of us knew existed prior to the confirmation of these individuals is on full display for the WORLD & it’s weakening US, collectively. The fact that there is an obsession over wanting me silenced tells me that I need to speak out more. 🫶🏾
Trump says he's looking at setting up some sort of government "compensation fund" for the January 6 criminals that he pardoned
That’s my official account… this is my non-official where I can say whatever I want to ☺️.
