When people can’t afford desperately needed health care, they suffer. That’s why this fight is so serious. It’s a matter of life and death.

The ‘Peace President’ killed six more people off the coast of Venezuela this morning. We have no evidence other than his word that they were a threat to anyone, anywhere and also release the Epstein files. Thank you for your attention in this matter!

Let's be clear: If North Carolina Republicans gerrymander their already illegal map further, they will be sued and they will lose.

I never bluff and I usually win.

One of the many reasons why I hate Netanyahu is because he’s just as corrupt as Trump. I hope that the Israeli judicial system holds him accountable for his crimes and that there can be new elections and a new government.

Republicans Against Trumpism @rpsagainsttrump.bsky.social · 1d

During his speech at the Knesset, Trump urged Israel’s president to pardon Netanyahu, who is currently on trial for corruption:

“Why don’t you give him a pardon? Give him a pardon… cigars and champagne, who the hell cares about that?”

Major airports are refusing to air Kristi Noem’s propaganda video blaming Democrats for the shutdown, and there’s a reason: it violates the Hatch Act

You can’t use taxpayer resources for partisan attacks. Period.

Trump already gave so many of us jobs with ICE. We may have to start recruiting soon to fill all these spots.

Gov. Pritzker on Adelita Grijalva: "Mike Johnson won't swear her in. Why is that? … She'll be the 218th signature forcing a vote to release the Jeffrey Epstein files."

"Trump and Mike Johnson are working awfully damn hard to keep a sexual predator's files from being released. Makes you wonder why."

Of all the excuses not to show up to work while still collecting a paycheck, refusing to show up for 2 months so you can conceal info about sex trafficking because the perps are wealthy and powerful can only be conjured up in the toxic mind hive of Trump & House GOP leadership.
