It’s the same old same old. Republicans do a tantrum and break the dishes. The Democrats clean it up. It’s an abusive relationship.

The Trump administration is now literally *fighting* to deny food to 42 million people, more than a third of them children.

Oh we will not forget who bent the knee.
Democrats won big. If it holds through 2028, it's going to be interesting to watch all the tech giants pretend they're not a bunch of MAGA fascists.

Nuke the filibuster, pack SCOTUS by adding 18 justices, grant statehood to DC + PR, pass some common sense gun laws. Don't stop with Mike's suggestions though. Codify Roe, ban Congress stock trading, expand the CTC, do universal basic income + healthcare, term limits, legalize cannabis... LFG!
Johnson: "If they had no filibuster, they would pack the SCOTUS. You'd go from 9 to 17 or however many liberals they could pack. You would make DC & Puerto Rico into states, which would give 4 additional Democrat senators & make us a permanent minority. You'd see massive restrictions of 2A rights"

Thank you California for leading the way and showing other states what must be done to protect their elections from this regime.
@gavinnewsom.bsky.social: Trump sending DOJ poll monitors "is a preview of 2026. But here's what we've done... We raised a little more money to make sure we have a legal defense team, a rapid response team, that we're monitoring the monitors."

Agree!!
I’m good with my taxes subsidizing social welfare for people who can’t afford food.
I’m enraged with my taxes subsidizing corporate welfare to businesses that won’t pay a living wage.

Trump is breaking the law. Funds have to go through congress, and that includes "donations"
But it gets worse..
Timothy Mellon is the donor who gave Trump $130,000,000 to pay off US troops. He is the son of billionaire Paul Mellon, who is listed in the Epstein flight logs alongside "2 females."

Another apt metaphor.
Tearing down democracy to replace it with gaudy authoritarianism.
The man has no respect for the country.

Donald Trump is now officially demolishing part of the White House to make room for his $200 million golden ballroom.
This comes as Americans can’t afford groceries and the government is still shut down.

You may be living in an absolutely racist country when 13-year-old Black boys are tried and sentenced as adults, but white dudes who *are* adults are called "kids" by JD Vance to shield them from culpability.
