What’s the old saying - “We need a pitcher, not a belly-itcher?”

We need a functional, humane immigration policy, not a hate-filled, immoral sh*t show.

Time for Democrats to lean-in to this fight.

🔥 Jasmine Crockett exposed the whole scheme.

Kristi Noem filmed propaganda while shoveling taxpayer money to her own political network. Millions funneled through her political circle into the same pockets.

Corruption at full volume.

🧵 Let’s be so effing for real right now. The Department of Education saying these jobs are no longer PROFESSIONAL is dumb as hell and insulting as fuck. It takes YEARS of post-graduate training, including passing certifying exams, to earn degrees in these fields. #fdt #momsky

Trump’s attacks on veterans in Congress are dangerous and false. I stand with Reps. Crow, DeLuzio, Goodlander, Houlahan and Senators Kelly and Slotkin.

All are patriots who deserve better than threats.

Trump called for the deaths of 2 Senators and 4 Reps. These 6 people are veterans & national security professionals who swore an oath to protect & defend the Constitution.

All of us, GOP & Democrats, should condemn the response from this President.

Calling for political violence is unacceptable!

A million times I’ve said this. Everybody knew Trump was a sexual predator before his first election. We knew of the cases against him and Epstein. We don’t need the files. We see how he treats women publicly. God help anyone who is shuttered behind closed doors with his creepy, raisin-skinned ass.

@maxwellfrost.bsky.social is 💯 right. While MAGA is falling apart, the leftovers are dangerously faithful to Trump, and they will see his murder-laden posts as a call to action. Rhetoric that inspires violence must be challenged by republicans.

I am so sick of incessant lies and support of fascism… they did NOT conspire nor demand defiance of lawful orders. Let’s be clear - what was SAID was they can refuse to follow UNLAWFUL and ILLEGAL orders.
