I can’t stop laughing at the fact that Trump is the president of the United States of America.
And the best he could get at his NYE party, was a washed up 60 year old fake rapper and some cartoon fucking turtles. 😂😂😂

This is a crucial line from Mamdani

Mike Johnson-for one-is very polite. Yet his policies will likely kill millions of Americans. Cutting Medicaid and failing to extend the ACA subsidies alone will cause over 51,000 to die. Per year

He should be forever hiding in shame. Instead-he’s House Speaker

Some health experts are saying that *it* could happen in the March to May timeframe. I hope it's the Ides of March, so I can say "Et tu, Tupée."

Never forget that Trump said his daughter Ivanka made him promise not to date girls younger than her. She was 17 at the time. He was in his 50s.
Release the Epstein files – all of them.

I highly recommend it. It was very interesting & deals w/ some aspects of the depraved, amoral & shitty oligarchs.

“Can’t believe NYC elected a Muslim as mayor.”

In truth—a Black American Christian woman swearing in a Ugandan American Muslim of South Asian ethnicity as his Syrian American wife holds the Qurans he swears in on, all while standing on the steps of a subway station—is the most NYC thing imaginable.

It's official: Congress and Donald Trump have allowed the enhanced Affordable Care Act subsidies to expire. Millions of Americans will either lose their health coverage or face dramatically higher premiums.

Trump and Stephen Miller are actually failing in crucial ways. Deportations are lagging behind their goals, courts are mostly functioning, and their fascist, ethnonationalist cruelties have unleashed a countermobilization of unexpected scope and power.

Happy New Year friends!

I woke up on this first day of 2026 determined to fight like hell for what’s right, what’s kind, what’s decent, and what’s just. And to fight for those who can’t fight for themselves. We CAN do this.

Let’s roll!

Media outrage would blot out the sun if Joe Biden was MC'ing an auction at his private golf club on NYE and blithely dismissing a $2 million bid for a painting as "peanuts" while Americans struggle to pay the bills and ACA health insurance premiums go up - today - by 100% or more
after bidding $100,000 for a painting during an auction at Mar-a-Lago, Trump describes $2 million as "peanuts" for another bidder and the painting eventually goes for over $2.5 million

In Trump’s pay-to-play justice system, you can get away with defrauding nursing homes, skirting your taxes, and committing securities fraud. So much for “law and order.” https://youtu.be/NflcWXdV-B0?si=Tj1mzuAdV8zjXEpY
