The guy who changed the Department of Defense to the Department of War is upset he didn't get a Peace Prize.

Seen in TimesSquare NYC last night. One sign with two sides. The man holding the sign was masked.

Our job is not to throw 15 million people off health care and double insurance premiums for more than 20 million.

Our job is not to shutter community health centers, nursing homes and rural hospitals.

Our job is to fix a broken system and guarantee health care to all.

Thanks to Republicans in Congress, some Americans will have to pay more than $22,000 every year to keep their health insurance coverage.

$22,000.

That could be a matter of keeping health care coverage or just giving up—and for some people, life and death.

ICE will reportedly hire contractors to surveil social media platforms 24/7 to target people for deportations.

The information would then be funneled into an existing ICE database built by Palantir (founded by Trump ally Peter Thiel).

"The party of small government,” folks.

IN HONOR OF FRIENDSHIP MONTH:

djt: "We have certain things in common, Jeffrey."

Epstein: "Yes we do, come to think of it."

djt: "A pal is a wonderful thing. Happy Birthday- and may every day be another wonderful secret."

And by "wonderful secret", he means raping children.

Correct, the Congressional Democratic position should be that the purported president of the United States is levying war against them and must be immediately removed from power and tried for treason. They certainly aren't going to vote to appropriate funds for his treason.

Project 2025 was the plan all along

The fever dream of Stephen Miller

Fire as many government employees as possible

Roll back regulations so billionaires can exploit ALL of our resources-including US workers

End anything that promotes equity

Destroy the rule of law

Burn down American democracy

This is so indefensibly insane: Speaker Johnson is refusing to seat Congresswoman-elect Adelita Grijalva because she'll be the 218th vote to release the Epstein files. Johnson swore in Rep Walkinshaw (VA) w/in 24 hours.

Johnson is abandoning his job to instead protect a convicted child sex predator
