Trump will do all he can to “fix” the 2026 and 2028 elections to secure MAGA victories by every method he can muster, however blatantly illegal and unconstitutional, whatever the courts might say. If every eligible voter shows up, we can overwhelm his schemes. Otherwise, our way of life is doomed.
Man, I feel this. 🙏🏽😭
Read every banned book you can get your hands on. Give them as gifts. Quote from them every day.
DOL is trying to take away minimum wage and overtime from millions of workers. Just thought I’d mention that.
Actions Speak Louder than Words !
senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute, former chief economist to Senator Rob Portman (R-OH) & director of budget and spending policy for Marco Rubio’s 2016 presidential campaign👇🏽
I just preordered it. I'm looking forward to learning much from you. It sounds like it will be eye-opening and engaging.
If you're 60, 69.1% of all job growth since your birth occurred under Democratic administrations. If you're 45, that number is 74.7%. If you're under 28, the number is 100%. Happy Labor Day.

#ProudBlue The shit RFK Jr. is doing & saying scares the shit out of me. This is the man in charge of our healthcare? God, please help us. Link to video: www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8Bb6dA9/
It's going to be the weirdest thing watching every news network trying to sell "a nation in mourning" while Kool & the Gang's "Celebration" becomes the new national anthem.
My favorite evergreen Molly Ivins quote: "I prefer someone who burns the flag and then wraps themselves up in the Constitution over someone who burns the Constitution and then wraps themselves up in the flag."
Live your life such that everyone doesn’t spend ten solid years planning the rager they’re going to throw when you die.
So good
🚩 BIDEN, understanding the EXTRAORDINARY THREATS made against HARRIS, signed an ORDER EXTENDING 👮♂️HER SECRET SERVICE PROTECTION TRUMP JUST RESCINDED THE ORDER 🚫 WILL TRUMP INCITE MORE VIOLENCE AGAINST HER 🤯 #TrumpRevengeTourContinues 🤬
🚩 TRUMP, after SIX HUGE PERSONAL BANKRUPTCIES…wants TOTAL CONTROL of our ECONOMY 😳
Like I said. They aren’t embarrassed by history, it’s their playbook.
F47 is out here trying everything to distract us. Thinking that the takeover of DC and Bikini Bottoms with the NG and 47s SS nazi loyalists would make us forget about the #EpsteinTrumpFiles Nice try #pedoPres #SheShed
And I’ll bet the farmers in red states who voted for Trump are going to get hefty bailouts for losses due to his tariff & immigration “efforts” while likely complaining bigly about any student loans being forgiven. They should get loans on the same terms including no discharge in bankruptcy.
Wow
Wherever he lives now that allows him to eat in peace should feel forever shamed.
In response to the allegations from top officials at the Centers for Disease Control that he has led a "weaponization of public health," HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., has vowed to do sixty (60) pushups while shirtless and wearing blue jeans before leading a Boy Scout troop into an open sewer
Weird that these mass shootings get narratively framed as random violence caused by an imprecise miasma of social pathology and not as independent contributions to a specific and highly organized political program.
three guesses which party this guy is in
Every country has mentally ill citizens. Only America arms them. #ProudBlue #Pinks #GunReform School Shooting
It will only work if he uses the Obama anger translator. We are past sanity and calmly playing by the rules.
Until a Rethuglican Representative’s or Senator’s child’s private school is hit by gun violence, don’t expect them to abandon their NRA A+Rating. They sucked limp cock for those donations, and will be damned if someone else’s loss is going to cost them millions.
Those who have the power to stop mass shootings can go to hell with their "thoughts and prayers." Do something about it, you evil bastards.
AMERICA: “It’s a mental health issue.” REST OF THE WORLD: “We have those. But don’t have mass shootings.” AMERICA: “It’s video games.” WORLD: “We have those too. But don’t have mass shootings.” AMERICA B: “It’s cause they took Jesus out of the classroom.” WORLD: “God, you’re stupid.”
I don’t know why republicans care about what books kids read if they don’t care if they make it out of school alive. It ain’t about protecting kids; it’s about protecting power. And where was Jesus when those children were praying and getting gunned down? Stop sending prayers in place of policy.
Jones responds to Ogles…
Republicans: Mass shootings: “it’s the price of freedom. Send thoughts and prayers” Homelessness: “Deploy the National Guard”
🚨BREAKING: Trump just announced at his cabinet meeting that they'll seek the death penalty for anyone killing someone in the Capitol building. Families of the police officers who died at the Jan 6 insurrection and saw their murderers walking free would like to have a word.
Cost of Trump's D.C. Occupation: $1.1M per day. Cost to operate public housing for D.C.'s entire homeless population: $169,226 per day. It's not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities.
But, the trains are on time
🚨 “DHS claims the agents acted in self defense…” The hell they were! They damn near shot and killed a kid — for no reason, provocation. Mayor Tran should give more than lip service. A child was almost killed by DHS in her city.
I’m not a huge Taylor fan, but my girls are. I saw that Charlie Kirk responded to her engagement to Travis Kelce by telling her to submit and be a good wife. She’s a billionaire. Travis is not. That tells you all you need to know. As a woman, you can never achieve enough success for them…

Has Germany started filming documentaries about the rise of fascism in the US yet?
Gov. JB Pritzker: Donald Trump's threat to bring the National Guard to Chicago isn't about safety — it's a test of the limits of his power and a trial run for a police state. I'm old enough to remember when Republicans believed in state's rights. #ProudBlue #Pinks #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice
Umm … NO.
I agree. Living in TX is very nerve-racking. I rarely leave the house, I don't talk to many people, and I'm so thankful that most work is now done remotely, so I can work.
If the Democrats fuck this up, it's over.
The paint on the Mexico side of the wall is so much prettier
I'll give you 44 year old Emil Bove for comparison, too.
Jeffries Again refuses to endorse Mamdani. Meanwhile Mamdani’s popularity keeps growing & he’s further exemplified that his messaging and policies are wanted & real. The Dem establishment has missed its chance to step up. They’ve failed the bare minimum—reminding us why Dems have 26% approval.
That’s hilarious 😆
The fact that this administration is hell bent on punishing Kilmar Abrego Garcia while rewarding Ghislane Maxwell tells you all you need to know about their violent racism and misogyny.
Ahem
À better measure of the US economy would be how the bottom 33% are making do on their income, rather than how the top 10% are making do in the stock market.
They gaslit you all throughout the election.
No lies told here.
National security threat???
Americans that voted for Trump are still wondering Why We dislike Them. Their Vote tells us a lot about their Character and views. Lose them as Friends. Stop 🛑 your Children from being infected with their Cancer.👏👏👍👊😡😎⚖️🇺🇸
Frost: On one end, we have the big ugly law. And then on the other, we have the federal government occupying our cities.. It's not two different things. It's the same damn thing. These aren't things that distract from one another. This is the thing to enable the other thing,
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 like what Newsom is doing. I like what Pritzker is doing. I like what Mamdani is doing. We need all hands on deck NOW. We can worry about the presidential race LATER. Once we secure its relevance.
If you’re a parent who’s trying to ban “inappropriate” books from the school library but you let your kids listen to the current President unsupervised you’re doing it wrong
💯
Fall reading list for MAGA: 1. The U.S. Constitution 2. CASTE 3. My Grandmother’s Hands 4. The Fire Next Time 5. The Indigenous People’s History of the United States 6. Sapiens 7. Origin 8. The 1619 Project 9. Between the World and Me 10. Stamped from the Beginning 11. Triggered 🤣🤣🤣
docs.google.com/spreadsheets... There are 392 books banned by trump's executive order on the list of banned books. Including his vice president's bullshit book.
Oh. look. It was 45's first guest in the Oval Office in 2021. When he handed over the info on our people around the world and started the murder spree. Yay. Since Russian press were the only ones allowed in that meeting, I'm not surprised they didn't report on anything nefarious going on.
How a man who wants to take voting rights away from women does pull ups.
🚨🚨🚨 Homeowner in Houston, TX, kills 2 masked men wearing bulletproof vests — claiming to be police. 🤷🏻♀️ #wehavegunstooassholes
They say 'the machines of the future' will be as smart as people... OK, but WHICH people? Because it kinda matters quite a bit.
Arrested for filming it. And look how excited they all are to get some *action*. 🇺🇸 Watch fascism work.
I have a senior role at my company, have attended many leadership training seminars, and learned all the leadership philosophies and buzzwords. None of them work as well as simply asking myself "what would an arsehole do in this situation?" and then doing the exact opposite.
Inflation rose by 22.6% from 2019-2024. In that same period, the 100 lowest-paying corporations paid their CEOs 34.7% more. Worker pay didn't even keep up with the rate of inflation. Those corporate tax breaks will never, ever, ever trickle down. WE ARE BEING SCAMMED.
“I was r*ped sometimes 3 times a day on that island… and I was not the only girl on that island… Ghislaine must die in prison, because I’ve been in hell and back for the last 17 years.” Listen to the survivors.
Florida bans the Diary of Anne Frank. A literary classic that serves as a cautionary tale about the rise of fascism and the importance of documenting atrocities as they’re occurring. We all must document this time in history. Keep copies. Write everything down. Make sure that the truth will out.
You know how some people celebrate their birthdays for the whole month? Well, I'm doing that for James Dobson's death.
A landlord turned off Tenant Client's family's heat upon learning Client was an immigrant. Landlord hired three different law firms to argue this was legal, then fired each one after they couldn't get our case dismissed. This week, landlord settled for enough that Client will buy a house.
Way to go, San Francisco!! 👏👏
He’s wanted to declare martial law from day one. Bypass all checks and rule as a tyrant. Many have speculated how he’d do it. Now his gambit is clear. DC was a test. He’s using manufactured crime stats to send troops into blue states & cities. This is not a drill. Democracy is at defcon 1.
Looks like he set the country on fire and is strutting away.
If you aren’t uncomfortable learning our country’s history, you are learning propaganda.
Why do we even have country club prisons? Shouldn't everyone go to the same prisons?
This quote hit me like a ton of bricks tonight. And yes, I will be using this the next time someone says my best isn’t good enough 😌
I know that Stephen Miller gets a lot of hate on here, but hear me out. I think we could hate him more. We have the capacity, we all just need to put in a little more effort.
From 2019-2024, Lowe's spent $46.6 BILLION on stock buybacks. That's enough to give each of its 273k employees a $28k bonus for the next six years. Instead, it paid its CEO 659x what it paid median employees. And we STILL think corporate tax breaks will magically trickle down?
So we're expected to believe a female PIMP who is DESPERATE for a pardon? No. I'm not as stupid as MAGA. Trump raped girls. You know it. I know it. He knows it.
@politicojoe.bsky.social schooling CA-Redistricting Protesters on how a map works to shut down their disinformation- Fight disinformation it definitely needs sharing 🔁
Ghislaine Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein could not have sold women and girls for sex without wealthy men buying women and girls for sex. I feel like more people should mention that.
The clearest picture of corporate greed in this country is CEO-to-worker pay ratios. At the 100 lowest-paying major US companies, CEO pay averaged $17.2M in 2024. Median worker pay at these companies was just $35,570. That’s a ratio of 632 to 1. How can anyone defend this?
