Small acts of protest often have the biggest impact. This song choice was everything! 💪🏻🔥🥹 #doyouhearthepeoplesing #lesmis

Army Choir surrounded the MAGA hierarchy dining in White House East Room to sing "Do You Hear The People Sing"

It was lost on Trump but Vance was super fidgety

"Do you hear the people sing? Singing the song of angry men? It is the music of the people who will not be slaves again"

If you’re planning to protest tomorrow:

1. Thank you! Make it big. Stay peaceful.

2. Be careful. There will be people trying to agitate and stir shit up.

3. Take a buddy if you can. If not, video is your friend.

4. Have a plan to get the fuck out if it goes sideways.

The plaque honoring the law enforcement officers who responded to the January 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol, which was commissioned by Congress in 2022, remains in storage. Mike Johnson has refused to place it on the wall, as was intended. That "deed" speaks pretty loudly.

Mike Johnson: "We've always stood with Capitol police and law enforcement. We've shown that in word and deed."

"Sure, Jan (6th)." 🙄

Why are Republicans refusing to budge on the Jan. 6 plaque honoring law enforcement?

A plaque to recognize the officers who protected the Capitol on Jan. 6 was supposed to be installed by March 2023. Why is it gathering dust in a closet?

China started buying their soy from Argentina bc of tariffs. Now Trump gives $20BILLION of our tax dollars to bail out Argentina so his buddy can get reelected.
Trump is directly financing U.S. farmers' competition while letting those same farmers go bankrupt.
Make it make sense.

Senator Chris Van Hollen @vanhollen.senate.gov · 4d

Trump is saying the quiet part out loud: he sent a $20B taxpayer-financed bailout to help his far-right buddy Milei cling to power.

Meanwhile our government is shut down, public servants aren't getting paid & we're barreling toward a Trump-made health care crisis. Sounds like Argentina First to me.

Q: We've seen images out of Chicago of federal agents shooting faith leaders with pepper balls and arresting journalists. Where's the limit for you on what's acceptable conduct by federal agents?

MIKE JOHNSON: I've not seen them cross the line yet.

Here’s how tariffs work. Your costs go up, and that money gets transferred to the wealthy.

Whether you’re progressive, liberal, leftist, libertarian, communist, socialist, moderate, democrat, conservative, Christian, atheist, Gen Z, Boomer… we have the same enemy. It’s the oligarchs.

What he not saying is that his friends and cronies invested a fortune in Argentina since their guy Milei won, they stand to lose a big chunk of those fortunes the way things are going, and Argentina’s elections are in two weeks and we are tampering in them to bail Milei out.

Is it just me, or does it seem the press is actually and completely terrified to report about Donald Trump's physical and mental health the way it would have if anyone else were president?
