Fuck you, Google.
Don't be evil?

I can’t wait until he is gone—first from the White House, and then from the face of the earth.

This is an official government account.

We are a laughingstock around the world, a country being run by tantruming toddlers.

This is what happens when you put a narcissistic racist in charge of what was once the greatest—though still very imperfect—country on earth. Let’s not do that again, hmm?
Yikes 😬 an official U.S. government account just referred to Americans as “imbecilic morons.” That’s… a choice.

If she was your friend, George, you’d know that she’s a pediatrician, not a pediatric spine surgeon.

I supported her against Mace and I’ll do the same against Graham—I’m a Marylander but would love to see Graham out of the Senate.

Facts matter—and her being a pediatrician REALLY matters.
My friend @drannieandrews.com will be Lindsey Graham's opponent.
She is a pediatric surgeon who has performed spinal surgeries on children, running against a grownup with no spine. Dr. Andrews is poised to perform a full Lindsey-ectomy on the United States Senate.

Thugs. Heartless, hateful thugs.

Hope they get what’s coming to them when this regime is defeated.
In Kenner, Louisiana, ICE and DEA GOONS violently abducted a woman from a Walmart parking lot. You can hear her child screaming as the GOONS beat her. 11/13/25

This man is a criminal. And he will be held accountable. Prison will be too good for him.
Bovino: "Whether they were criminals or individuals that were taking jobs from Americans -- you name it, that's what they were doing. And I'll tell you what's gonna happen. We're gonna go even harder on the streets. If he releases those 650, we're gonna apprehend 1,650 on the streets of Chicago."

What a joke she is. Least productive First Lady ever. Take your vapid self to a beach somewhere so we never have to see or hear from you again.
I was told that English is now our official language. Can anyone translate?

Can she possibly look back and read this transcript and be okay with what she said? Is she that incredibly stupid?
November 13, 2025 at 8:18 PM
Jesus Christ. The depravity that permeates today’s Republican Party is horrific

Endorse with all of my heart.

(And @sanders.senate.gov would be saying “it’s about damn time you listened to me”.)
i’ve said this before and i remain convinced it’s true, the 2028 platform that would deliver obama 08 results is “i am gonna
bring the hammer down on the corrupt self-dealing politicians and their rich friends and there are no sacred cows id give a pass”

This is a really impactful clip. I wish more people who relied on SNAP or other government support to bridge a gap during a tough period in their lives would speak up. The idea that the majority of people receiving support are “freeloaders” is a fallacy—most are fighting for self-sufficiency.
Karen Pittman might be an actress, but her past experience with food insecurity is real.

She opens up about the challenges she faced applying for SNAP and why she believes sharing her story can help others find strength through vulnerability.

Sadly, in some districts, it might be. 🫤
The discharge petition to force a vote on the Epstein Files only received a handful of GOP votes.

But when we get the actual vote to release them, I'm presuming we'll see a whole lot more, right?

"Congressman _____ voted against releasing the Epstein Files" isn't an ad you want before the midterms

IN THE NETHERLANDS??

Why would this happen in the Netherlands? I would honestly be less shocked if it happened at Arlington. Or has this been done at EVERY US military cemetery?

It’s going to take a long time to undo all of the racist bullshit this regime has done.
Removing a monument honoring Black US soldiers has nothing to do with DEI. It’s erasure of history and it’s straight-up racism.
November 13, 2025 at 1:45 PM
Yeah—whispering a question when she’s halfway out of the room is quite a bold journalistic feat. 🙄
So proud of my friend and fellow Welsh Pembroke Corgi owner @andrewfeinberg.com for asking this question:

“What was the president doing with Virginia Giuffre for hours at Epstein's house?"
November 13, 2025 at 3:56 AM
From @petebuttigieg.bsky.social to this useless idiot. What a travesty.
Sean Duffy: "I can't guarantee safety"

Hope she signs the Epstein discharge petition at 4:01.
🚨BREAKING: At long last, Mike Johnson will swear in Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva on Wednesday at 4 pm ET.

If you TRIED to make the Oval Office more garishly tasteless, it would still seem understated compared to this.
Trying to think of a more vulgar person—or someone with less understanding of or appreciation for American history.

No one comes immediately to mind.

They are both WILDLY STUPID ideas. Yet another way to make the rich richer and the poor poorer.
QUINTANILLA: What's more likely -- a $2,000 tariff rebate check or a 50 year mortgage?

HASSETT: They're both really good ideas
November 11, 2025 at 8:51 PM
I love this so much…

THIS is the America I want us to be.
Yesterday, when Bovino announced ICE would be returning to Little Village today, some of us donated and fundraised to buy out street vendors in the neighborhood. This morning, volunteers hit the streets at 6:30 am, looking for vendors to buy out. Tamales make an excellent breakfast.

And he participated in this military swearing in from a luxury box rather than being down in the field with the recruits. He was either too lazy to go down to the field, or he’s so hated that security was a concern.

Or both.
"I've never heard a president booed this loudly in my life."

Would love to be on the Chisel and Spackle Team in January 20th, 2029.
Look at what this garish, classless, tasteless fool has done to the People’s House.
November 11, 2025 at 1:31 PM
I’m so confused.

Didn’t Dear Leader say inflation and prices are both way down?

Poor Mikey. He’s going to get called to the principal’s tacky, faux gold office.
Mike Johnson: "That's the reason the inflation is up, the cost of living is up so high -- because of the policies of the previous administration. Now, we're working to root those policies out and implement our own, but it takes a little time."

Still voting yes @kaine.senate.gov? How about you @shaheen.senate.gov?
@sencortezmasto.govpeeps.us? @durbin.senate.gov? @hassan.senate.gov?

(The rest of The Oblivious Eight either don’t seem to be here—Rosen and King—or their last name is Fetterman and not worth anyone’s time.)
November 11, 2025 at 2:17 AM
While at the same time they vote for children, the elderly, and the poor to starve.

Fucking heartless, inhuman degenerates.
🚨 💰 WOW — @SenatorHagerty & @MarshaBlackburn snuck a provision into the spending bill that would let them sue the government for $500,000 because Jack Smith looked into their phone records around Trump’s insurrection.

The Republican grifting is endless. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/10/u...

This is the kind of work that RFK Jr. and the United States Congress will NOT fund. The health of our country will be rolled back by decades.
After leukemia treatments failed, Alyssa, at age 13, was told she would die. Then, doctors tried an experimental gene-edited therapy. She became the 1st human to try the treatment made possible by U.S. federal funding. Now 16, she’s cancer-free. RESEARCH SAVES LIVES
