What timeline is this?! Here to be informed and trying not to lose my mind. (I want to be nice, but F*** Trump, Musk, etc., ad nauseum, ad infinitum). I know, I vent and rant too much...I'm angry right now.

Treating the Noble Prize as a Trump sticker for acing one exam (probably by cheating) is just utterly cheapening of the whole concept of peace.

JFC, Fetterman. Trump has ordered the extrajudicial killing of boatloads of fishermen, just to name two of the many reasons he is not at all about 'peace'.
Lying his ass off about 'terrorism' in Portland (to endorse unchecked gov't violence against protest) is another.
On and on.

He's blowing up fishermen for the crime of fishing (though that's also something Fetterman supports)

It is so damn obvious: Trump and his cronies bought Fetterman.

Gavin Newsom: “Masked men. Jumping out of unmarked vehicles. People disappearing. No due process. No oversight. No accountability. People say I’m being hyperbolic. Bullshit. This is happening in America today.”

I think Abrego Garcia is about to win his case. The judge just put burden on DOJ to prove that they are not prosecuting Garcia vindictively.

He may be the first victim of Trump's vindictive prosecutions to prevail against the false charges.

Domestic terrorism is a crime that our military should protect us from.

They called us fascists because they don’t understand what fascism is.

Will you publicly demand Schumer facilitate daily fact checking press briefings in the Capitol? See my pinned tweet.

Just bone chilling. And when the imprisonment of critics is combined with his offer to enrich and immunize his loyalists, this is how democracies die fast.

But it's still our choice. Don't let him silence you.

Bring back putting a phone to your ear and speaking into the mouthpiece to save everyone else on this train hearing your boring monotone friend telling you about trying to find a car parking space.

Everyone knows that the classic scientific method is saying something that is wildly stupid and then trying to find proof for it.

Who’s playing 2020 videos of Portland for Trump and telling him they are current? How stupid or just a fucking moron he is. Portland is beautiful. Not on fire. No riots. Grandpa has lost all reality (or he’s lying like the lying liar he is) Or…both #Voices4Victory #ProudBlue

Trump: "I don't know what could be worse than Portland. You don't even have stores anymore. They don't even put glass up. They put plywood on their windows."

Not sure what’s worse, how bigoted Winsome Earle-Sears is or how rude Winsome Earle-Sears is.

She literally does not believe that discriminating against gay people is discrimination…and she won’t shut up about it.

And in case you’re wondering how rude Winsome was, here are *12* instances in which the moderates tried to get her to shut up and stop interrupting.

Carney's currently putting out bills to make immigration and asylum-seeking more difficult and turn us into a police surveillance state. You may find help from Canadians, but not from our traitorous leadership.

Trump is operating with revenge in mind, not the rule of law.

The DNC stands with New York Attorney General Letitia James against his latest political attack.

My full statement on her baseless indictment:

This indictment isn’t about the law, it’s about political revenge directed by Donald Trump at someone he deems his enemy. There’s a reason why both the U.S. Attorney and career prosecutors in the Eastern District of Virginia refused to bring forward this baseless indictment against New York Attorney General Letitia James — and why they were replaced by a hand-picked, unqualified sycophant with no prosecutorial experience.
Donald Trump doesn’t care about the law or an independent Department of Justice. Weeks ago, Trump publicly demanded the weaponization of our justice system and today, the department dutifully carried out his orders.
This is a line that cannot be uncrossed. The DNC joins the Democratic Attorneys General Association in condemning this politically motivated attack on Attorney General James. And we encourage Americans everywhere, of any and all political affiliations, to stand against Donald Trump’s attempts to co-opt the government for retribution and intimidation.

Pritzker: "He said he was going after the worst of the worst. It's not going after the worst of the worst when you're just literally stopping children who happen to be brown & asking them for papers as if they're gonna have proof they're a citizen. Pull out your phones and film everything you see"

It would be bad enough if that’s all ICE did to kids in Chicago

But they also

•Descended on them with Black Hawk helicopters

•Unleashed armed men who broke into their homes in the middle of the night

•Removed them from their families

•Zip-tied them

•And detained them for hours

Unconscionable
