The “SAVE” Act has already passed the House. It would disenfranchise millions of legal U.S. citizens from voting. This is the real goal of the GOP.
Please call your Senators and urge them to vote NO !!!

The POTUS who wanted a Nobel Peace Prize wants to wage war w/ Venezuela. He's already sinking their small boats & killing their people w/o justification. He suffers from life-long megalomania, & now has senility driving him. The Senate's trying to stop him. #ProudBlue www.nytimes.com/2025/10/17/u...

Mike Johnson’s Bible apparently has Jesus encouraging lying as often as possible as the pathway to heaven. Must be a Trump Bible.

Children are dying because Trump gutted USAID and cut lifesaving foreign aid — even though it took up less than 1% of the U.S. budget.

Meanwhile, he's preparing to dole out $40 billion to prop up Argentina's failing economy, all to help out his authoritarian pal.

Priorities.

Incredible artwork by @4nikkolas.bsky.social.

Original artwork that mimics the famous raising of the flag on Iwo Jima, with the marines replaced by protesters in inflatable animal costumes. The Statue of Liberty and a city landscape are in the background.

Striking that the WaPo, which I believe broke this story, has it #5 on digital homepage (after other admittedly major stories). But it is #1 most read, and its symbolic/emotional weight clearly dwarfs other issues

Brian Klaas @brianklaas.bsky.social · 1d

The Democrats need to get a hell of a lot of cameras on the White House and plaster the photos everywhere. It's not just the brazen symbol of a megalomaniac destroying national heritage; it's happening during a government shutdown when ordinary people aren't getting paid. Make every American see it.

no sitting president should be allowed to alter and demolish any part of the white house. it doesn't belong to him, it belongs to us. Congress should have to approve or some oversight committee. this is disgusting

1) Trumpery and his fired up sycophants attacked and destroyed parts of our nation's Capitol building.
2) Trumpery is now wrecklessly destroying our formerly beautiful White House.
When is someone going to stop this lunatic?
