www.tiktok.com/t/ZT6vQ5VU6/ I repeat. The DNC should be rallying Dems NATIONALLY to help a Dem in a runoff in GA. There is no downside to asking Dems who have time and resources to help her out. She is the Dem NOMINEE!!! Where is the team to back her up?
Excellent Question….. Republicans lambasted Democratic presidents for their use of Executive Orders as "executive overreach", or "bypassing Congress". Obama issued 226, Biden 162. Trump has issued 420 SO FAR. Where's the outrage now MAGA?
WTF. Do they not see what is happening all around us? Biden is no longer president. Maybe they should look into who is actually calling the shots in this administration? I don’t thinks it’s this president.
Every accusation is a confession www.reuters.com/world/us/bil...
new from @tusk81.bsky.social: @ossoff.senate.gov’s investigation has uncovered 500+ credible human rights abuses in immigration detention, ranging from sexual assault and denial of medical care to the mistreatment of pregnant women and children.
There is no democratic justification for withholding these files. This is a coverup.
The party of family values and child protectors have shown their true colors.
So much greatness.
Kavanaugh's statements make the problem worse, not better. If the reason SCOTUS is using cryptic shadow docket orders is because "five" of them can't "reach a consensus or a compromise on a particular issue that might be difficult," then that order should not be precedential —there's no majority.
Any Senators here? I’m a biomedical scientist with immunology, cancer, infectious disease expertise. RFK Jr lied to you in his confirmation hearings. Repeatedly. Provably. He’s lied to EVERYONE for 30+ years. Repeatedly. Provably. He WILL lie today. Repeatedly. Provably. 1/
Oh, so guns *do* kill people? Gotcha.
They should have voted differently. Nobody wants a handout but they’ll take it even though they are partly to blame. He did this to the. Last time. Did they seriously think it would be different this time around?
RFK lied to my face. He said he hadn’t fired any scientists. RFK has fired over 3,000 scientists from HHS. It’s shameful. He must resign.
How did they even know to go after her if they weren’t digging up dirt for that specific reason? Why did they even look into her?

RFK Jr: It's gonna be the biggest infusion of federal dollar into rural healthcare in American history BERNIE SANDERS: Yeah. You know why? Because you're cutting $150b for rural hospitals, you're putting $50b back. That's not an infusion. That's a loss of $100b.
Soybeans are collapsing because China isn’t buying them. The farm economy is in deep trouble. Because of our needless trade war that we are clearly losing. Maybe farmers will wake up
Finally a real headline from the NYT
Democrat Sam Liccardo just exposed the real two-tier justice system-Trump's billionaire donors and Wall Street banks are having their cases dropped in secret.
"The only motive for opposing this bill, would be to conceal wrongdoing. You have a choice, stand with truth – or with the lies that have protected predators for decades." Anouska de Georgiou Epstein survivor
"Who am I to tell you what your child should put in their body?" Said the party that wants to ban birth control and family planning. They should be concerned over the bullets the lunatic fringe keeps putting in children's bodies if ya ask me. www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...
This was straight up murder.
Why couldn’t the Coast Guard just board the boat leaving Venezuela, arrest the people and get more information on who they’re working for? Why did they have to kill the people?
The people in Washington who can actually stop Trump are not Democrats. They are Republicans. And we should be asking them every day when they will start. washingtonmonthly.com/2025/09/02/r...

FEMA is giving $110 million to faith-based organizations and schools for safety upgrades. Public schools get thoughts and prayers.
Who is paying for all of Botox Barbie’s cosmetic procedures n hair extensions? Yep, American’s tax $$$! I want a tax refund from all this waste n fraud we have paid for! #arrestnoem #notofascism
I wish people would stop blaming COVID mitigation policies for the acceleration of right wing extremism, and instead acknowledge the fact that we endured a mass casualty and mass disabling event that was mismanaged by narcissistic authoritarians who shifted the blame to marginalized communities
Crime might be down but policy brutality is up. Illegal searches are up. Disrespect for our residents is up. our rights and our ability to go about our lives without fear are being violated
Interesting that one mugging happens and DC is overtaken by armed agents yet kids keep getting gunned down in schools and no concrete actions are taken by the administration. Are kids less important than big balls?

Thank you on this labor day!!
Platner: No one cares that you pretend to be remorseful as you sell out to lobbyists. Symbolic opposition does not reopen hospitals. Weak condemnations do not bring back Roe V Wade. Maine deserves better than Susan Collins.

www.politico.com/news/2025/08... #ProudBlue ICE deserves to be unmasked with whatever it takes. Republicans are desperate to keep ICE Agents names secret and faces covered. If you have to hide your identity like a bank robber or home invader to do your job. You are doing the wrong damn job.
Exactly. Up until a few months ago, the media kept talking about how his inner circle was so irresponsible because they supposedly kept the former president’s health from the public. And now, crickets. Where is that same energy and outrage for this administration?
For god’s sake someone remind the bbc.
What is wrong with these people? This is not okay. Where is the law enforcement leadership? They need to denounce this behavior.
Yeah right.
For the umpteenth thousandth time, how would the press have reacted, and what would they be demanding if Biden had been clearly physically ill and refusing to appear or talk to them?
Jesus fucking christ. The Trump administration tried to send a bunch of children to Guatemala at 3 am and justified it by saying that the kids just wanted to return to their parents in Guatemala, but the kids actually told the court that they are afraid of being sent back to Guatemala.
If you say 'heteronormative' or 'unhoused person' or 'food insecurity' you're basically talking gibberish and nobody can understand you but if you say you can see inflammation in children at the airport and that vaccines lower IQ or that germs are a myth you get to fire all the scientists.
Corporate agriculture gets bailed out while YOU pay more for everything.
Mainstream Media isn’t reporting about the children who have died that ICE Gestapo snatched! #iceout #arrestnoem #arresttrump
🚨 “The people united will never be divided!” Happening in OUR nation’s capital today. 1/2
I'm still waiting for the relentless onslaught of media demands for a press conference and calls to resign.
Is he a decoy?
They’re just the figureheads, getting richer off their offices, while they let Heritage, Steven and the tech bros run the country.
A special thank-you to Ali Velshi for his passionate rant this morning: “Where’s the party?” Dem leadership has to stop writing letters and making statements and get off their asses to actually fight for our country. If not, they should be replaced
Reminder: Most mass shootings are carried out by cisgender men.
I really hope this becomes the black eye it deserves to be www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
They are the reason we’re in this mess. They normalize and excuse his behavior without providing context, background and realistic picture of what we’re facing.
So federal agents are suppressing this massive crime wave in DC. By busting people smoking weed, jaywalking, committing traffic violations, writing on sidewalks. 🙄
Jill Stein and Cornel West both disgust me — such goddamn, self-serving hypocrites.
I’m serious. This REALLY infuriates me. @nbcnews.com @cbsnews.com @cnn.com Do your job. You failed to lift this up in 2024. If farmers are hurting, explain why and who is to blame. And remind Americans that we paid BILLIONS for Trump’s first tariff blunder. It’s so irresponsible to ignore this.
Every time I see masked ICE officers ripping a parent from their child, I think: “Americans chose this; they knew this would happen. A lot of people were happy at the thought.” And I feel that I do not at all understand the country I am in and the world around me.
Could be at the hospital. This administration would never tell us.
That and over 200 journalists have been killed so far. They are suppressing the truth tellers.
"The mainstream press is still in self-flagellation mode over how they purportedly 'ignored' Biden’s decline. (In reality, they never stopped talking about.) But this soul-searching is apparently only backward looking and exclusive to Democratic presidents." — @playtyperguy.com
BREAKING: Social Security Administration chief data officer and whistle-blower Charles Borges has resigned after bombshell report that SSA put highly-sensitive data at risk. He sent out an email to colleagues moments ago. Here is the text of his email shared with me:
why are we talking about what Lisa Cook may have done when we know that Donald Trump put down on a loan document that his 10k sq foot condo was 32k square feet?
“[Bill] Pulte got his job in the administration about three years after his wife, Diana Pulte, donated $500,000 to a super PAC backing Trump. The donation was channeled through a Delaware shell company, ML Organization LLC, that Bill Pulte controlled.”
Daskalakis: I very specifically use the term pregnant people, and very specifically added my pronouns at the end of my resignation letter to make the point that I am defying this terrible strategy of trying to erase people
I got an NYT push alert about Taylor Swift getting engaged, but not about the United States spying on Greenland
So frustrating!!!
Pay attention. Your family’s safety is on the line.
Dr. Demetre Daskalakis, who resigned from the CDC, revealed that RFK Jr. has NEVER been briefed by CDC experts on measles, flu, or Covid: “No one from my center has ever briefed him on any of those topics…He’s getting his information from somewhere”
Republicans have forced schools to stop teaching about slavery because it's too traumatizing for children. But watching their friends get shot to death at school is apparently the price of freedom. #ProudBlue #Pinks #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice
Happy morning! The great gazebo was also arrogant like miller.
ICE TARGETS APP DELIVERY DRIVERS — AND THE TECH GIANTS THEY WORK FOR STAY SILENT As part of the federal takeover of D.C., ICE agents have been targeting delivery drivers for the likes of Uber, Grubhub, and DoorDash. archive.md/tn9Z3
Imagine thinking your "personal freedoms" are worth more than a child's life. Imagine fighting for emotionally unstable 20 something male civilians to have easy access to weapons designed to kill lots of ppl, really fast. Imagine enabling the next mass shooter, while calling yourself "Christian"
Republicans have time to pettily paint over a memorial for people killed in a mass shooting because they can’t hate gay people enough, but they can’t be bothered to stop school shootings because they don’t love children enough. www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...
Father Michael Louis Pfleger a priest at the Sabina Catholic Church, a Black parish in Chicago's Auburn Gresham neighborhood has a message for Trump! Before you dare speak about any violence in Chicago, look into your mirror, and address the violence coming from the White House! 🔥
This!!!! Make the media cover your news.
Why aren't Democratic leaders holding daily press conferences to list out every single authoritarian action he's taking each day? Please. Start now. Stop waiting for what the polls say. Stop looking to consultants for what language to use. Speak plainly about fascism now. START NOW!
I am sickened by the relentless demonisation of refugees. No refugee underfunded a school. No refugee closed a hospital. No refugee took away support from the sick and disabled. We need solutions not scapegoats. Stop blaming refugees and tax the rich instead!
Staff at Moshannon Valley Processing Center was forced to deny me entry to conduct a congressionally authorized, unannounced oversight visit by Secretary Kristi Noem. Millions of Taxpayer Dollars go towards this immigration facility. If there is misconduct, Americans deserve transparency.
This is all on him. This country is going to h*ll and he’s very much to blame.
What the F?
Exactly.
In a functional government, this would be a five alarm fire where Congress calls in Kennedy and asks him what the fuck is going on
Two children were killed and seventeen people were injured in a shooting at Annunciation Catholic School. A Cracker Barrel logo change received far more scrutiny and attention than any fight against the epidemic of gun violence in this country. Our priorities remain idiotic.
BREAKING: Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey after Annunciation Catholic School shooting: “Don’t just say this is about thoughts and prayers right now. These kids were literally praying!” Stop paying for a f-cking minute and demand action by people and not just God.
The fact that all major news sources in the United States have daily lead stories like "Experts weigh in on the most delicious ice cream" and not "Democracy is dead" is one of the greatest derelictions in duty in the history of the country.
School just started, and we are already mourning two children killed and dozens more injured as they prayed during mass. It doesn’t have to be this way. Congress must act to keep our kids safe.
Exactly!!!
DJT: “I have the right to do anything I want to do. I’m the President of the United States.” This would have been considered a pretty shocking statement under any other circumstances.
What is it with these guys? Jeez. Bill is not president right now. Who else in the current cabinet has ties to Epstein?
How is the President declaring “a lot of people are saying maybe we'd like a dictator" not the headline of every newspaper in America? And don’t say, what are newspapers?
Yes Chef!
Chinese artist Leng Jun,I have never seen anything like it. Extraordinary!!!
