Fascism came wrapped in a flag and a cross but it also came wrapped in swastikas and it also came on the airwaves and the newspapers with paranoid delusions of Jewish conspiracies and it came wrapped in silver shirts with stories of demonic possession and that's just the 1930s.

This is nothing more than a continuation of the president’s desperate weaponization of our justice system.

I am not fearful — I am fearless.

We will fight these baseless charges aggressively, and my office will continue to fiercely protect New Yorkers and their rights..

If we are taking in “trillion” of dollars in tariffs:

1. Why haven’t we paid down a cent of the debt?

2. Why can’t we afford to not fuck millions of people over with expiring insurance subsidies?

3. Why is none of it being used to help the abysmal job market?

When the President of the United States essentially declares war on the state of Illinois and threatens to jail the Governor of the state and the mayor of Chicago- he is not a president but a tyrant.

I did not make this up: Trump bragged that he should win the Nobel Peace Prize because he ended a war in "The Republic of Condo." I was not aware that this country existed, but to honor it I am posting this flag. #LongLiveCondo

This administration is flooding the zone so furiously that people have largely lost track of the lethal attacks on boats in the Caribbean, the gov’t shutdown, the economy, failed release of the Epstein files & so much else. It’s a tactic of would-be strongmen.

The Washington Post is using bothsidesism to justify everything Trump is doing.

From yesterday on political purges in the military. They compared it to covid vaccine policies.

Alt text:
A screenshot of a paragraph from an article with white text on a black background. The text discusses Hegseth’s actions since taking office, stating that he has challenged traditional norms by saying as recently as last week that generals and admirals should resign if they don’t support the Trump administration’s policies. It compares this to the Biden administration’s coronavirus vaccine mandate, which led to the dismissal of thousands of troops.
