Every morning I’m like What now? This account is mostly political. It’s where I go to discuss the ongoing shit show, exchange ideas on how to push back against trump 2.0, and vent. Happy to engage in challenging discussions but maga is blocked on sight.

I (and others) have caught a lot of flak on here for calling out the pathetically tepid response to trump’s unexpected rapid dismantling of the federal government.

The main question I get is “what can a minority party do” and here are some of my ideas…would love to hear yours!

“YOU hit HER.”

CHICAGO - Trump’s ICE goons ram into a passing car after snatching someone, then brutally drag the female driver of the car they hit out of her car with guns drawn and arrest her too. (Her brother says she’s a citizen)

“House Majority Whip Tom Emmer went one step further, calling it a “terrorist” event.”

I can’t wait to be a part of the next #NoKings protest and House Majority Whip Tom Emmer can go fuck himself

I don’t know who needs to hear this but the CDC is being eviscerated right now. America is not going to have any kind of outbreak response capacity after tonight. Americans’ health data is no longer secure. Say goodbye to federal public health in any capacity. It’s a disaster. We won’t recover.

I was horrified and infuriated to learn that a constituent of mine was abducted by ICE agents, handcuffed, and thrown into a back of a van, all without reason.

Masked federal agents aren’t welcome in our state and they can’t keep kidnapping Americans.

I’m hopeful for the midterms but that’s a long way out

Independent C-SPAN caller to Rep. Mark Alford: "You're taking credit for $50b that you just gave to the hospital industry. That's after you took away $150b. You don't take credit for just giving back a little bit of money after taking away so much. So quit lying. It just makes you look horrible."
