Imagine making six figures to not do anything you were entrusted to do.

…getting paid to not work while thousands of civil servants around you were getting fired.

…betraying those who counted on you to represent them, all to appease a wannabe dictator.

The GOP Congress is a helluva thing.

"some of these rich legislators are Democrats...But not a single Democrat voted in July for the $4.5 trillion in tax cuts contained in President Donald Trump’s “big, beautiful” reconciliation bill. The only legislators who voted themselves tax cuts were Republican:"

The House Republicans Getting Rich Off Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill

Why is it taboo for Congress to give itself a tiny raise but fine for it to give itself a huge tax cut?

I don’t understand why we need a “Columbus Day” when this country celebrates incompetent white men failing up and taking what isn’t theirs all year round.

There is absolutely zero chance that a man who took $50,000 in cash in a paper bag from an FBI agent on camera would have been appointed to any position by any other president.

In case anyone was wondering, “Give us your land or we will bomb you and take it” is not a peace deal; it’s extortion by artillery. A peace deal requires consent.

Mamdani volunteers out and about on a rainy day in my neighborhood today. Simply the best organized local campaign I’ve seen in my lifetime.

The political party that doesn’t *beg* this campaign for help and guidance nationally just isn’t very interested in winning.

I'm going with the insanity of a child r4pist on the world stage being a crazy day for the world. 50 to 100 to 900 years.

I LOVE my country

I stand for the national anthem-EVERY TIME-while respecting the rights of those who don’t

Know what I hate

Trump’s Fascism

And that mealy-mouthed spineless quislings like Mike Johnson not only don’t fight it

They PROMOTE it

FU, MIKE

I knew Fox News was theater. I just didn't realize it was a repertory theater that recycles actors for different roles.

You'd think a company that had to pay $787,000,000 for deceiving its viewers would be a little more careful about blatantly continuing the practice.

It’s SHAMEFUL to watch US Senators vote NO on the War Powers resolution & give this administration a blank check to bomb whoever the hell they want. The current conduct in the Caribbean is unconstitutional and unacceptable!

Time and time again, these cowards bend the knee.

If we are taking in “trillion” of dollars in tariffs:

1. Why haven’t we paid down a cent of the debt?

2. Why can’t we afford to not fuck millions of people over with expiring insurance subsidies?

3. Why is none of it being used to help the abysmal job market?

"So, Democrats have three words for this: no fucking way. It's literally life or death. We will not let Republicans blow up our health care system."

This is, hands down, the best comms work Chuck Schumer has done in YEARS. Surprisingly good.
