The correct response to Republicans widely depicting the coming protests as terrorism is to go out and protest. Each person should get 10 more people to do so. If Republicans are going to hint at violent state responses to legitimate protest, the only answer is bigger numbers.

By contrast, JB Pritzker told me that people should flood the No Kings protests precisely in order to let the American people know that something is deeply amiss.

More Dems should be doing this, to send the message widely that we are in real trouble right now.

Here’s the simple truth that Republicans in DC don’t want you to know: The government is shut down because they are choosing to DOUBLE your health care premiums. There’s a bill that would end the shutdown today AND fund health care.

But Washington Republicans keep voting NO.

Why do so many powerful Republicans turn out to be pedophiles and child sex abusers? 🤨

I knew Fox News was theater. I just didn't realize it was a repertory theater that recycles actors for different roles.

You'd think a company that had to pay $787,000,000 for deceiving its viewers would be a little more careful about blatantly continuing the practice.

Are Republicans drinking the special kool-aid too slowly and it's affecting their brains?

Fox Business's Charles Payne claims that if Mikie Sherrill becomes the governor of New Jersey, "a lot of people in Jersey will have to go without air conditioning and buy a bunch of blankets."

Apparently the $20 billion for Argentina was just the beginning of the US bailout according to Bessent today, since so many American oligarchs have big investments there that they can’t afford to lose.

I think someone in Sweden did that a few years ago using photoshop to prove the unrealistic expectations ad how easy it is to lie online. Even her family thought she was away but she was in her apt the entire time.

Kristi Noem is complaining that ICE and Border Patrol agents have it really tough in Chicago because the restaurants won't let them use their bathrooms or serve them food.

But I thought Republicans loved free market capitalism? 😅

Don't mess with Chicago! ❤️✊🏽

Earlier this year, two Republicans were sworn in less than 24 hours after their elections.

It’s been 16 days since @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social won her race.

Mike Johnson, swear her in.

Pritzker: "He wants to militarize major cities because he wants us to get used to the idea of troops on the streets. I believe he's gonna post people outside of polling places and if he needs to in order to control those elections, he'll assume control of the ballot boxes & count the votes himself"
