Run as a Democrat. Move the party to the left. This Independent nonsense is infuriating because it does nothing to fix the party.

Better than the image of uniformed personnel rolling out the red carpet for Putin.
The last time troops policed America was in the 1770s. We fought a revolution against that king, and wrote into the Constitution the Second, Third, Fourth, and Fifth Amendments to prevent it from ever happening again. Pass it along…
.400+ AVG, .500+ OBP, .850+ SLG in any 38-game span of any of the last 55 MLB seasons: Pedro Guerrero (1985) Big Hurt (1994, 1997) Bagwell (1994) Mo Vaughn (1996) Helton (2000) Bonds (2002, 2003, 2004) Edmonds (2004) Berkman (2008) Harper (2015) Judge (2024) Nick Kurtz (2025)
Gut punched him? Trump has always been a strong ally of Putin. Occasionally, politics and public pressure make Trump reluctantly put some distance between them. But he always goes running back the first chance he gets.
Trump sounds like someone who speaks English as a second language after suffering a traumatic brain injury.
The Department of Homeland Security is holding up more than $100 million preapproved dollars intended to help hurricane-battered North Carolina clean up storm damage and fix infrastructure, according to documents obtained by The Post.
Hochul: "I will put saving democracy as my top priority at any cost. Bc it's under siege. Just like those who put on uniforms to fight battles across the ages. For centuries we stood up & fought. Blood has been shed. This is our moment in to stand up for all we hold dear & not let it be destroyed."
The next President should confiscate it along with the billions in bribes Trump is taking.
Did AI write this?
The bastard undermined FEMA’s efforts in Western North Carolina last year.
The son of a bitch was in Western NC last year after Hurricane Helene.
I assume that it’s made from fresh squeezed weasel mixed with skunk musk.
Even it was the worst of the worst which is not. It is not ok to treat anyone like this.
So Alligator Auschwitz?

Democrats needed to let it be known that any land sold will be taken back via new National Monument declarations when they are back in power. That should tank a lot of interest in buying it if you know you’re going to lose it in a few years.
It's way down on the list of horrors, but National Parks having to post signs asking visitors to report anything there that provides "information that [is] negative about either past or living Americans" is utterly pathetic. The past isn't all positive, kids. I'm sorry if that hurts your feelings.
What we learned yesterday. The Times They Are a-Changin'
I don't care if these monstrous ICE raids are a "federal operation". This is authoritarian violence, plain and simple. Just because Stephen Miller has kidnapping quotas for brown people he doesn't want to see on the street doesn't mean we have to think it's okay.
Cuts have consequences, illustrated. As seen on TV 📺
“The fear to speak. In America?” CBS’ Scott Pelley asked. “If our government is—in Lincoln’s words—‘of the people, by the people and for the people’—then why are we afraid to speak?” www.americaamerica.news/p/snapshot-s...
A bracing warning from "60 Minutes" correspondent Scott Pelley: "Our sacred rule of law is under attack. Journalism is under attack. Universities are under attack. Freedom of speech is under attack. And insidious fear is reaching through our schools..." #WFU www.youtube.com/live/FcWa-wX...
This is not good. State trooper cars should be highly visible and marked. It’s not safe to have unmarked or low visibility vehicles pulling people over, especially in the age of ICE kidnappings. www.kctv5.com/2025/05/09/c...
ICE can enter anyone’s home, and abduct and deport them to a foreign prison indefinitely because the DOJ says they can ignore the 4th, 5th and 15th amendments. If there’s no due process or protections against illegal search and seizures, none of us are safe.
If you’re changing the definition of human rights, it means you plan on violating people’s human rights.
File impeachment articles that are just direct quotes from the Declaration of Independence
Ambassador Spock modeling the proper “fuck you, make me” response to intimidation tactics. Our current-day institutions could learn a lot from him.
"I very much want to believe that we will once again find our way before too much damage is done, before we descend into a time of monsters. But I very much fear that the lamps are once again going out all around us."
America has been cursed with ‘nearly 80 million’ ignorant bigots, who thought this foolish senile old man really had something special…👇 Many are still in deep denial that they RUINED our nation. But they did. These people should be shamed until the end of their miserable lives. WHO AGREES?! 🤚
🚨 If you’re continuously stunned by the behavior of gerrymandered GOP representatives in the world of Citizens United, don’t be. Here’s how to think of them: They are no longer public servants. Improving public outcomes is not their goal. Nor do they do better in life… 1/
Murphy: "The vast majority of Republicans, their number one priority is Trump seizing power, and the Trump family and the MAGA universe holding power forever ... with the exception of maybe 20 Republicans in the Senate, the GOP inside Congress is done with democracy."
Instead of referring to Elon Musk as the “richest man in the world”, call him what he actually is the “Greediest Man on Earth”!
When you look at the list of institutions they want to defund: libraries, museums, the Smithsonian, public schools, PBS, NPR, archives, you can clearly see that the real threat to an authoritarian regime is an informed and educated public
You all suck at messaging.
Crypto should be illegal.
Jessica Aber, the former U.S. attorney for the eastern district of Virginia, was found dead Saturday morning, police say.
Seems like? The greediest man on Earth is evil. His casual cruelty and indifference to destroying the lives of millions cannot be ignored.
Scientists have just cured pancreatic cancer in some patients with personalized mRNA vaccines. Pancreatic cancer. And this Trump administration wants to throw it all away. They’re throwing away a cure for cancer.
His plan all along was to force the unconditional surrender of Ukraine.

Whack a mole. Won’t matter at all.
North Cascades is one of about a dozen national parks, including Olympic, that depend on pack animals to cart heavy loads into the backcountry. The string averaged 20 multi-day trips and 11 single-day trips per season. Some seasons Koon-Swanson has spent 100 nights in the backcountry.
Heather Koon-Swanson led the North Cascades National Park pack mules for two decades until retiring in December.
A Trump administration freeze on purchase cards that agencies use to cover everything from dumpster pickups at national parks to liquid nitrogen for lifesaving military research is upending work across the government, according to records obtained by The Washington Post.
The nature of a cult is that it will turn you against your own family. Your loved ones will cheer as you are led off to the camps because hurting even you is what is necessary to bring on the glorious nation. apnews.com/article/trum...

Trudeau: I want to speak first directly to the American people… your government has chosen to do this to you. Your government has chosen to put American jobs at risk. They have chosen to raise costs for American consumers on everyday essential items…

There it is: Speaker of the House says Elon has already started running your Social Security through his AI.

This feels like an insane amount of words to describe what is just heresy. “The MAGA-obsessed Christians have been engaged in a heresy that rejects the teachings of Christ yet retains the trappings of Christianity in pursuit of Earthly political power.”
Worst. Episode. EVER.
It took the Nazis one month, three weeks, two days, eight hours, and 40 minutes to dismantle a constitutional republic. When the fire starts to burn, every good person better be ready to man a post with a bucket of water if you want to stop it from raging out of control.
seems like it is a big deal that the unifying ideology of the doge team is neo nazism
If you support any of this, you’re honestly just a terrible person. People’s lives are being upended and destroyed. For every 1% increase in unemployment, 40,000 people die—yet some are celebrating.
We are well aware that they are cowards.
On the bright side, Trump can’t make money selling it if the Russians and Chinese have already gotten it for free.
Tim Kaine has a warning for any federal workers considering Trump’s buyout offer: It’s a scam.

William Henry Harrison thinks Trump should hold the inauguration outside. A light jacket would be more than enough to handle some chilly weather.

More than 2 million oil and gas wells sit unplugged in the U.S., many leaking contaminants into waterways, farmland and neighborhoods. Time and time again, oil companies have walked away — leaving taxpayers to pay for cleanup. Here’s how.
A modern-day version would essentially lead to a break-up of Musk’s increasingly “monopolistic” conglomerate of companies, Dirk Wiese, the deputy caucus leader of the Social Democratic Party, said.
Why we fund basic research
Chris Murphy: "Why is Donald Trump engaged in this relentless campaign to try to silence journalists, media companies, and his political opposition? It's because he's trying to steal from you."
Good messaging. From here on out Dems need to promote the story that Trump and his billionaire cronies are stealing from Americans.
Trump is saying this so that people that don’t pay close attention can’t tell what is really true. It makes all accusations sound like white noise.
