He got the Speaker he wanted - a cuck who will sit in the corner and let him do whatever he pleases whenever he wants.

"Fiscal Conservative" is a myth... And a bad one at that. They may exist, but they're not in government.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 81st day out of the last 93.
12 days of work in over 3 months.
With full pay and benefits.
The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.
It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

Video evidence of Ice violently attacking and detaining a visually disabled man who had fallen. They drag him at one point with his face scraping the concrete. Again, is this what millions of tax dollars for training gets us?! #pinks #deICEtheUSA

Today, the White House Press Secretary told the country that this ridiculous damn ballroom is “the president’s main priority”…not reopening the government, not lowering the cost of groceries, not lowering the cost of housing, not lowering the cost of healthcare….building a ballroom

Children are dying because Trump gutted USAID and cut lifesaving foreign aid — even though it took up less than 1% of the U.S. budget.
Meanwhile, he's preparing to dole out $40 billion to prop up Argentina's failing economy, all to help out his authoritarian pal.

The 100 lowest-paying US corporations spent $644B on stock buybacks from 2019 to 2024.
Buybacks artificially boost share prices and inflate CEO pay.
The typical worker at these companies earned $35k last year.
Meanwhile, the average CEO was paid $17.2M
See the problem?

This morning, I was hit in the face by a baton.
I’m going to have a pretty gnarly bruise but we need to remember why this is happening: Trump and ICE are rounding up our neighbors, treating them as subhuman, and shipping them off to labor camps in foreign countries. It has to end.

So many people showed up, we ran out of table space.
This is what community care looks like.

I don't even know why this surprises or shocks me any more. But then, I'm pretty sure I never want it not to. When we stop feeling horrified and outraged at shit like this, it becomes normalized... We can't let that happen.
THIS CAN NEVER BE "NORMAL".

I don’t think I’ve ever loved anything as much as ICE loves violently attacking women.
I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

OBAMA: It's fair to say that 80% of the world's problems involve old men hanging on who are afraid of death and insignificance, and they won't let go. They build pyramids, and they put their names on everything. They get very anxious about it.

I always thought the cap was bullshit...
A worker making $50,000 a year contributes to Social Security on 100% of their income.
A CEO making $20 million a year contributes to Social Security on less than 1% of their income.
Instead of raising the retirement age, we should scrap the Social Security tax cap.

BREAKING: Trump's head of Social Security says raising the retirement age "will be considered."
That's a betrayal of Trump's campaign promise to protect Social Security.
