One way or another this darkness has got to end.

No DMs unless you know me.
How do you feel about caving in to end the shutdown now, Senate Dem Weaklings? Did it occur to you that you were making the problem worse? If it didn't, you are terrible at your job, if it did, you are terrible at your job. A betrayal to you party and country. Resign!

Republicans demand tougher abortion restrictions to extend Obamacare funds
Democrats say that’s a nonstarter, arguing there are already limits on abortion access. The dispute could torpedo a deal, leading to higher health insurance premiums for millions.

Racists, especially the Space Nazi, try to ruin everything.
The far right is obsessed with Lord of the Rings and Musk keeps posting about "hobbits" because modern scientific racism owes more to fantasy worlds and gaming systems than genetic science, and they see both as effective mediums for right-wing propaganda www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

Not if you join Schumer and the spineless Dems who caved in the Senate. If you do that, you will alienate the majority of the base and betray the most vulnerable. But go ahead and sabre rattle.

Mega🧵 CDC IGNORES URGENT EPI AID REQUESTS

1/9 🚨 Maine is facing the largest HIV outbreak in its history.
It asked CDC for help.
😡 CDC is ignoring the request.

This is not getting enough attention in the news — and it should be.

Why is there never a front page headline about these transparent, outrageous lies? Has the American press just decided lying is okay and they can't be bothered to call it out?

Trump administration's new hire-a-white-guy campaign. Free link

"You know what they say, 'If you want the job done right, you gotta find a white guy.' Or an orangish one, if he’s not too busy sharing state secrets with his caddy or viewing the daily highlight reel of ICE raids with Stephen Miller."
Hire a white guy today!
The Labor Department certainly can't be accused of being 'woke' in its new social media campaign

Urgent action needed. Make the calls! Spread the message.

Congress just dropped a so-called “minibus” deal to end the 40-day shutdown but it’s a surrender disguised as progress.

It funds veterans and agriculture but abandons the 20 million Americans who rely on ACA subsidies for health care.

A Band-Aid won’t fix a bleeding nation.

This is a nightmare. It is not normal and is not legal. Fight against it and keep track of the thugs and cowards who are doing all of this, from the Secret Police of ICE and DHS. Up to the Stephen Miller and All The President's Minions. To the Ignorant Thug at the top.

Trump and Musk are mass murderers.
No other agency of the U.S. government has saved more lives per dollar than U.S.A.I.D.—it supplied medicine, food, and staffing for some of the most desperate and vulnerable. A new short documentary shows the impact of its dismantling. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/2a5Jm5

Republicans are unable to contradict any of the obvious lies he blurts out multiple times every day. When this all blows up like a dynamited whale, the blubber is going to land all over the GOP.
Trump lies shamelessly: "Biden actually pushed for that war to happen. And now look what's happened to Ukraine. It's a much smaller country."

On of the most repugnant Trump lackeys.
Minutes after MAGA congresswoman Elise Stefanik announced her candidacy for #NYGov, a Team Hochul Twitter account for @governor.ny.gov posted this ad.

And boy, it's savage!

But also, if the ad airs on TV, it'll boost Stefanik's chances in a GOP primary.

Hochul wants to face her. #NewYork #NYpol
