No, Donald Trump does not deserve the Nobel Peace Prize, any more than the schoolyard gang leader deserves a thank you when he tells his minions to stop stealing your lunch money

Our Congress and Senate need to get back to the table and negotiate for We The People. Enough finger pointing, our country's health is at stake. Get back to work. You're being paid, our soldiers are not. #wtpBLUE #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue #VoteBlueforOurFuture

Earlier this year, Speaker Johnson swore in two Republicans less than 24 hours after their elections.

It’s been 17 days since @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social won her election, and she still hasn’t been sworn in.

She would be the tie-breaking vote to release the Epstein files.

Pritzker is meeting the moment and if he stands up for the people, stands up against Trump's rein of terror, holds ICE accountable, he can elevate himself as a front runner for Dem leadership.

Now is the moment for leaders, not cowards.

Pritzker: "He wants to militarize major cities because he wants us to get used to the idea of troops on the streets. I believe he's gonna post people outside of polling places and if he needs to in order to control those elections, he'll assume control of the ballot boxes & count the votes himself"

Regime Collapse 🧵: 4. They're Weekend At Bernie-ying the fuck out of Trump.

Miller has begun to let slip that *he’s* sending National Guard to cities or doing boat strikes.

Like Musk before him, we need to put the pressure on him - not Trump.

Congress should ask him to testify. 🧵

A photo of JD Vance & Stephen Miller holding up a dead Donald Trump to look like he's still alive. It says Weekend At Donnie's.

It's funny how fast Trump supporters went from calling quarantine orders ‘tyranny’ to cheering on the military being used against civilians.

Trump on pardoning Ghislaine Maxwell: Haven't heard the name in so long. I’ll take a look at it. I’ll speak to the DOJ. A lot of people have asked me for pardons.

Reporter: But she’s convicted of sex trafficking

Great to see Usman Khawaja and @davidpocock.bsky.social teaming up to push for a gambling advertising ban.

They shouldn’t have to.

The Albanese govt’s refusal to implement Peta Murphy’s review is scandalous.

And shows they are in the pocket of the gambling industry. #4Corners #LosingStreak

There are despicable, evil people in this world, but none are as atrocious as this hideous cretin.

From the Trump Resistance Movement:

STEPHEN MILLER IS AN UN-AMERICAN
POLITICAL EXTREMIST.

HE IS ONE OF THE GREATEST DOMESTIC
ENEMIES OF THE UNITED STATES
CONSTITUTION IN THE HISTORY OF THE REPUBLIC.

HE IS AN ARCHITECT OF THE LIES,
INCITEMENTS AND PROPAGANDA THAT LED TO AN ARMED ASSAULT ON THE US CAPITOL.

HE IS DIRECTLY RESPONSIBLE FOR FOMENTING A COLD CIVIL WAR IN THIS
COUNTRY.

HE DESERVES YOUR DEEPEST CONTEMPT
AND SCORN.

Oh look the party that screams “family values” every five minutes is silent when one of their megachurch darlings pleads guilty to child sex abuse. But they’ll trip over themselves to ban books and attack drag shows. Tells you everything you need to know.

Whoa! The shutdown’s ripple effect starting to hit.

Burbank Airport in LA County has no air traffic controllers on duty due to sick calls, last-minute day-off requests, and staffing shortages.

If you’re flying anywhere in the country, check for delays.
