I'm tired of this theater where Donald Trump asks Republicans to do something, they seem to push bank and then cave. The only two factions of the current GOP are proud MAGA and scared MAGA. Anyone who thinks Republicans are acting in good faith is delusional.
If Donald Trump comes for Philly, I ain’t backing down. None of us should. If that means a short trip to jail, so be it.
Pets inspire us every day. They make us better people and light our life when it all is dark. They are our soulmates, in every sense of the word.
January 20th, 2029: 1600 Pennsylvania ave Washington, DC #GavinNewsom #DonaldTrump
Congratulations Catelin Drey and to the people of Iowa!! They have broken the republicans supermajority!! Republicans will now need support from at least one Democratic senator to confirm Gov Reynolds' nominees to state agencies, boards and commissions. www.desmoinesregister.com/story/news/p...
The four IA specials this year have been in eastern Iowa and western Iowa; rural Iowa and urban Iowa; Dem districts and Republican districts. And they've all seen very similar overperformances: 22, 24, 25 & 26 points. This is not good news for the GOP's hopes of holding #IAGov & #IASen.
JUST IN: Democrat Catelin Drey wins Iowa’s SD-01, 55% to 45%, a district Trump carried by 11.5% in 2024, breaking the GOP super-majority.
Trump thinks there’s a governor named “Kristi Whitman.” But let’s keep pretending Biden was the one with dementia
We’ve posted about this before, but now it’s official a federal judge has made it clear: Alina Habba has been serving as New Jersey’s U.S. attorney without legal authority for over a month.
A rainbow crosswalk in Orlando that was part of the city’s Pulse Memorial was painted over by the state last night at the order of Ron DeSantis. The memorial honored the 49 people fatally shot by a gunman at the Pulse LGBTQ nightclub in 2016 — the largest mass shooting in the country at the time.
Newsom: We got here because the President is struggling. We got here because the President is one of the most unpopular presidents in U.S. history. We got here because he recognizes that he will lose the election.
The ruling sided with environmental groups and the Miccosukee Tribe, who had filed a suit alleging that the facility built in the Florida Everglades violated federal environmental laws.
Newsom: "He doesn't play by a different set of rules. He doesn't believe in the rules. As a consequence, we need to disabuse ourselves of the way things have been done. It's not enough to just hold hands, have a candlelight vigil, talk about way the world should be...we have got to meet fire w/fire"
👇👇
Jordy: We’re seeing who the players are and who the pretenders are. Newsom’s showing what this country needs — not lip service, but urgency before 2026, 2028, and beyond. Gone are the days of “when they go low, we go high.” When they go low, you take them out by their knees — metaphorically.
Sean Duffy: "Pete Buttigieg was running for president as opposed to doing his job and making sure that we got our air traffic control system modernized." (Pete Buttigieg ran for president in 2020. He became transportation secretary in 2021.)
Let That Sink In! 👇🏼👇🏽👇🏾👇🏼👇🏾
Never gets old.
Governor Pritzker is right. No more blank checks for Netanyahu’s right-wing government and its military. No more blank checks for war crimes against Palestinians. forward.com/fast-forward...
For the idiots who said the orange felon would never be allowed to become a Dictator in the US, take a look at him literally seizing total control of Washington DC despite no legitimate reason other than to consolidate power and militarize the area he’s in just because he can.
@neeratanden.bsky.social
Start doing what AOC & Bernie are doing. Get out there & start rallying people. Lay down a message & a path. Unite the party behind SOMETHING.
Do something about it other than TWEET!
The crime scene in D.C. most damaging to everyday Americans is at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.
How about instead of being “deeply alarmed” how about you do something! 🤬
The sheriffs who spend so much time huffing and puffing against federal overreach sure are quiet nowadays when the overreach matches their agenda.
“The proposal, which has not been previously reported, represents another potential expansion of President Donald Trump’s willingness to employ the armed forces on American soil.” www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...
Raskin: In any event, if he really cared about public safety in DC… he would not have pardoned 1600 insurrectionists and violent cop beaters on his first day in office.
Just like the one we have in Florida. We voted against this but DeSatan & his corrupt super majority overrode the will of the voters. 🤬
Bowser: "I think I speak for all Americans -- we don't believe it's legal to use the American military against American citizens on American soil."
Somebody on LinkedIn said what we're all thinking.
I live in rural Missouri, population 480. I travel to DC a few times a year. The President is lying.
Two things can be true: 1) The President has legal authority over the D.C. police and the D.C. National Guard that he doesn't have *anywhere else* in the country; & 2) Even if this doesn't set a legal precedent, it sets an ominous *political* precedent for pretextually overriding local government.
First it was troops in L.A., sent to provoke and assault peaceful protesters under the banner of “immigration enforcement.” Now it’s troops in our capital to disappear the homeless. See the pattern? Sooner or later, the monster comes for us all.
So, no national guard on January 6th, but definitely on August 11th. Makes total sense.
The Secretary of Defense posted a video calling for a repeal of women’s right to vote. When they tell you who they are, BELIEVE THEM. And vote accordingly.
damage report.....
It’s like West Virginia was starved for representation. For someone to just come. Bernie did and my fellow West Virginians are in love. /
Someone forgot to take down this webpage: www.justice.gov/usao-dc/pr/v...
Inquiring minds want to know...
Trump’s move to mobilize the National Guard against Americans in DC is another telltale sign of his authoritarian ambitions. But at some point signs of authoritarianism stop being signs and become symptoms of an autocratic regime. We’re far past that point now. www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/t...
Seems Mike Johnson has been using campaign funds to pay his rent in DC, which is a major legal no no. www.rawstory.com/mike-johnson...

I won’t be going high anymore. I return the same energy, and if we both end up in hell, so be it.
So Ken Paxton has now got a judge to enjoin Beto from fundraising for the quorum breaking TX Dems ! Ken Paxton should have been disbarred years ago. He has become emboldened. He literally is now suppressing political speech. Texas has become a totalitarian state
Just spitballing here, but cryptobros throwing sex toys at WNBA players on the court and other cryptobros and male sports commentators calling it funny and telling the women and their coaches to 'lighten up' both explains the 'male loneliness epidemic' and why I don't care about it.
Love this for both of them!! ❤️🐶
Wow, horrible 🤬
We just paid him & granted he had a good season, but he’s old & we don’t need to tie up that money with the good young talent behind him.
Same.
JUST IN: Federal judge orders a temporary stop to construction of Alligator Alcatraz concentration camp in Florida amid environmental lawsuit
Don't think South Park has ever destroyed someone as hard as it destroyed Kristi Noem tonight
Fox News hosts are furious that Big Balls and Holly got beat up and people just filmed it instead of intervening. “Who stands there and watches as someone gets attacked?” These same people are perfectly fine with ICE kidnappings.
Election theft in broad daylight. 5 alarm fire🔥. We are over the cliff. 🇺🇸
I see she’s been day drinking again 🙄
He’s decorating it as a permanent residence
Now this is some good news!
Fiery words by @govpritzker.illinois.gov this morning 🔥🔥🔥 THIS is the Dem leadership we need a LOT MORE of. To the current "leadership": If you can't keep up, step aside.
Does it occur to him that we all know?
Trump is on the White House roof shouting at people down below. But let’s keep pretending Biden was the one with dementia
I’m sure Las Vegas and other American tourist destinations are THRILLED with Trump and the Republicans’ proposed $15,000 foreign visitors fee to vacation here. A small price to pay for the chance for masked ICE to pounce and send you to a torture prison.
The President of the United States went on CNBC today and said: He won the 2020 election (he didn’t). He has a 71% approval rating (he doesn’t). The jobs numbers were rigged (they weren’t). I could say something funny here, but I won’t. It’s just so damn dangerous to have him in the White House.
It drives Jonathan Turley crazy when I remind everyone that he is just Mike Lindell with tenure. So, please make sure not to amplify this message.👇 Jonathan Turley is just Mike Lindell with tenure.
Yeah, but there seems to be unlimited money to build concentration camps and to send the president to Scotland to play golf.
This 👇👇👇
The sad truth is that most of his followers actually believe that their drug prices will indeed go down by 1500%. That’s why we are where we are today in America.
That’s just wonderful!! ❤️
I have been the subject of many spurious accusations and politically motivated attacks, but this one is in a class by itself. According to Tulsi Gabbard — the nation’s top intelligence official — my refusal to post on Twitter is being reviewed by the Department of Justice as evidence of wrongdoing.
JUST IN: AG Pam Bondi orders a grand jury probe of Obama admin. review of the 2016 election. Past probes, including two conducted by Republicans, found no such crimes. Democrats have accused Bondi of trying to distract attention from the Jeffrey Epstein scandal.
Listen... Some of y'all gonna find out that GenX folks are built differently. We are not like previous generations.
Fight back.
I guess it’s divorce then
Good morning 🌞
And fun was had by all!!! ❤️🐶
Of course 🤬
Meiselas: You had Lawrence Taylor, a registered sex offender who r*ped a 16-year-old, featured by Trump at the WH as he announced his initiative for kids...He's not hiding that he's ok hanging w sexual predators that target underage girls. How is what I just said not leading every freaking newscast?
Olympic level cognitive dissonance.
I remember when this happened.
I hate these people 🤬
This is the latest scam. It used to be that you could go in once a year for the checkup & all scripts were authorized for the new year. Now they want you to come in every 3 months or 6 months for something like a basic low level blood pressure med. it’s all about the money. 🤬
Susan Monarez is the first director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to require Senate confirmation. She's also the first director without a medical degree in more than 70 years.
The Trump administration plans to “revoke the scientific determination that underpins the government’s legal authority to combat climate change.” Wow! www.nytimes.com/2025/07/29/c...
Why is it acceptable for the president to use taxpayer money to fly overseas and cut a ribbon at his own golf course? Don’t normalize this abuse of office. It’s blatant corruption.
Absolutely this⬇️⬇️⬇️
Republicans hate me because I fight hard and I refuse to be held back by norms and rules that the GOP ignore. If Republicans try to gerrymander another 5 seats in Texas, Democrats should gerrymander 30 more seats in states they control.
Investigations are under way into why there were naked women on a TV screen in the office of Oklahoma schools superintendent Ryan Walters during an executive session of the school board.
Sickening.
The extremely simple fact is that Jeff Epstein was the most notorious child sex trafficker in history, and the President of the US was his close personal friend for decades Acting like this is complicated is absurd. The man knew what Epstein did, didn't care, and participated
The nation’s highest current peacetime honor:
Emil Bove misled lawmakers in his confirmation hearings for a federal judgeship when he denied targeting prosecutors who refused to go along with his dismissal of corruption charges against New York Mayor Eric Adams.
"I completely agree with Nick Fuentes" is a sentence I never thought I'd write.
Yeah, the nail in America’s coffin. The R’s aren’t stupid as some would characterize them as. They’re a street gang that follows orders as well as anyone to enact the cut throat direction of their gang leader. It’s time to start fighting back in the way @gavinnewsom.bsky.social has been saying. 🔥
Dems should vow to impeach Bove and any nominee who did not testify truthfully under oath
Republicans just voted to confirm Emil Bove. Despite whistleblowers confirming he urged them to ignore court orders. Despite it being clear he lied to the Judiciary Committee. And despite the danger he poses to the rule of law. The corruption of the bench continues.
