When Trump says "America is back," he means this. He will destroy all that is good and decent in America. He will wreck havoc and ravage our country, just as we know his friend Epstein did to young girls. That reminds me, why the hell is Trump so afraid of the Epstein files?

It's official: Trump is insane

All these events he claims happened in 2020 - when none of these people were in any position of power and when Trump, not Biden, was president

There are no documents, just the things Crazy Trump hallucinates

The people in Arizona’s 7th congressional district have been without representation in Congress for over 7 months.

Mike Johnson continues to deny them representation because their duly elected representative has pledged to sign the petition to release the Epstein files.

Every day, it seems like we tick a little bit closer to midnight.

Would be great if the GOP Congress would quit sleepwalking through this.

Imagine the can of worms they will open by arresting the governor of a populous state? It would be over for this admin. Over. They know it. It is a total bluff, but I hope they do it.

As Republicans keep up attacks on congressional maps, they should get used to seeing my law firm in court. On Wednesday, North Carolina Republicans enacted a newly gerrymandered map that targets Black voters to create an additional seat for a white Republican. The next day my law firm sued.

Like many of you in the reality-based law abiding tax paying, big hearted, true patriotic community of decent people, I have clusterfuck fatigue.

Also, like many of you, I will never yield to the oppressive sadism of depraved xenophobic sex predator traitors hell bent on liquidating our republic.

1/3 🧵Trump has stated he will run for a third term. Every empire that fell started with one mistake: waiting too long to defend its own laws.

Democracies don’t collapse overnight...they erode in meetings where no one acts.

If you believe in the Constitution, stop “hoping” and start planning. Now.

Congress just held a hearing to determine why nothing ever gets done. After five hours...they adjourned...because nothing got done. America’s fine. Carry on.

Conveniently, right before the midterms!

This isn’t going to go the way they think it is.

The National Guard isn’t going to allow themselves to be used as Trump’s voter suppression force.

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 1d

Hegseth doesn't dispute the existence of a memo planning for the establishment of a "National Guard response force that's gonna be trained in crowd control and civil unrest and deployed in all 50 states by April 2026."

Bullshit. It’s more than a fucking building. It’s a historic landmark. It’s our house. It’s the people’s house. And he had no fucking authority to tear it down. None. And that matters. We don’t have palaces in America. If we Democrats can’t draw the line on that, then fuck us. We deserve to lose.

It's. A. Building.

Joe Walsh @walshfreedom.bsky.social · 13h

I will repeat this every single day for the next three years: Any Democrat running for president in 2028 must pledge to immediately tear down/bulldoze/demolish Trump’s ballroom and fully restore the East Wing and any other piece of the People’s House Trump has or will destroy.

Good morning.

It's been 31 days since Adelita Grijalva was elected by the people of Arizona's seventh congressional district to represent them in Congress.

Mike Johnson still refuses to swear her in.
