Portland Frogman used “spooky” hands and hip thrusts to make ICE agents retreat. Under that costume are huge muscles, watch video. An ICE asshole sprayed pepper spray into the air vent but Frogman continued in his costume another hour. Hero #Voices4Victory #ProudBlue

there's really just zero motivation for Ds to negotiate when they're saying things like this. if they're just going to rule by recissision anyway, might as well make them admit they're gutting the fillibuster in order to destroy healthcare.

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 18h

Q: Rescission are something Dems have said is a reason for a lack of trust. What rescissions are you discussing?

JOHNSON: We have more than $37t in debt. We're doing everything we can to get us back to sound fiscal responsibility. What does that include? A rescission package is part of our process

It's really sad how people struggling to free or defend their countries, like Zelensky and this woman, have to repeatedly debase themselves in front of this man because there is no longer any responsible leader of the Free World.

Trump: "The person who actually got the Nobel Prize called today, called me, and said 'I'm accepting this in honor of you, because you really deserved it.' A really nice thing to do. I didn't say 'Then give it to me, though.'"

If Covid was a hoax, why the fuck did Trump get the vaccine today?

And why go to Walter Reed to get it when he has a full medical staff at The White House?

Trump says he’s slapping a 100% sales tax on top of the rest of his tariffs, forcing you to pay that much more for just about everything.

This would mean chaos and pain for any small businesses that rely on China for trade & business.

Republicans could end these tariffs today.

To use the 25th amendment against Trump requires several things lacking currently in Congress. A spine and the determination to abide by their oath to defend against all enemies both foreign and domestic. Secondly the willingness to defend our constitution from an insane Nazi dictator in DC. 💙🇺🇸💙

Meiselas: Trump says he’s focusing right now on laying off the Democratic agencies and government employees, whatever that means. Again, completely pathetic behavior, and in normal times, this would be impeachable and/or 25th Amendment territory.

They're actively participating in the ongoing coup from Mad King Donnie and will be held accountable for their involvement. I'm a 70 year-old disabled veteran and I've been to 5 rallies. I've chatted with vets and people who are exhausted with Trump's regime and are never going to submit to him. 💙🇺🇸💙

I look at them, and all I can think is failure to launch. But this administration has emboldened and given them perceived power over those who would run circles around them in every arena. But they don’t have to confront thé their mediocrity now, so they are all smiles.

Trump-aligned propagandists in D.C. pose for a picture, each push state messaging to millions, building support for arbitrary arrests and even assassinations of U.S. citizens, by branding “antifa,” short for anti-fascism, as terrorism.

That's why Trump and his Minions fear Bad Bunny because he's talented and has a huge following in America and the rest of the world. They truly can't understand that the MAGA celebrities are all cancelled and that the Supreme MAGA Leader is the most unpopular and hated president in our history. 💙🇺🇸💙

Billboard and Telemundo announced that global superstar Bad Bunny will be recognized as the Top Latin Artist of the 21st Century at the 2025 Billboard Latin Music Awards.

Looking forward to his show at the Super Bowl!

#DiversityMakesAmericaGreat

About Bad Bunny: "His music transcends language. It's amazing what he's done. He did something that a lot of people have never done in their life, and I'm so excited for him. I was excited when he performed with us at the Super Bowl and I'm excited to see what he does. He puts on a great show, he's an amazing entertainer." * Jennifer Lopez
