If you put your ear against the Capitol, you can hear the sound of a man who will do nothing to challenge—and anything to justify—presidential violations of the Constitution, as long as the president is of his own party. ICYMI @saletan.bsky.social: www.thebulwark.com/p/speaker-mi...

So very proud of the people in my small town, even though it is historically red, we had over 375 people in our No Kings rally. Lots of fun and support. The driver bye's really honked their horn enthusiastically. Made for a great day.

Argentina is a relatively well-off country with currency issues - also with full healthcare for all its citizens. The US administration is supposedly bailing out their currency to the tune of $40B. In comparison, the jettisoned USAID budget, used for programs to keep people fed and alive, was $32B.

Look sharp, Ohio Dems.

I know it’s been a rough few years, but there is absolutely a universe in which Democrats flip both #OHSen and #OHGov next year.

It might not be probable, but it will certainly be possible.

Would you normally engage with a 12-year-old shitposter? No?

Then don't engage with the one running the White House account. Block and move on.

Unblocked the White House account for a sec just to check activity, and boy is it active. People earnestly replying to obvious trolling, why.

Good morning and happy Sunday to everyone. Before you buy Girl Scout cookies you should know they support transgender girls and reject donations from anti-transgender organizations, so make sure you order extra boxes of the new rocky road ice cream-inspired Exploremores.

I appreciate South Brooklyn Sanctuary's work. They are seeking Spanish speaking volunteers for a couple of projects. One of those is to volunteer with local asylum seekers.
