They use govt accounts, employees & resources to make partisan political messages.

They make partisan political speeches attacking the opposition party to troops routinely.

They get pardoned when they commit crimes.

They ignore the laws.

There is zero congressional oversight.

Something maybe worth noting is that all the frog costumes and signs and good-natured memeing came about because a wide spectrum of Americans saw someone in direct, brave confrontation with ICE—getting pepperballed and standing their ground—and thought “that’s awesome. That person is a hero”

GOP healthcare plan:" Your money or your life"

Pritzker: Throughout history we've learned that tyranny doesn't arrive with dramatic proclamations. Most times it comes quietly wrapped in the language of law and order, with fingers pointed at someone who doesn't look like you, promising safety while demanding that we sacrifice our neighbors.

While people continue to struggle to get FEMA aid approved after their lives were destroyed by natural disasters.

I miss the days when a video like that would have been grounds for instant removal from office.

I miss accountability.

On the night he made history, Obama reached for his mother-in-law’s hand.

I was there!

Were you?

Trump has declared a trade war with China. Too bad Xi is already winning it. (via Bloomberg Opinion)

My 14-year-old self would never have guessed that, in 50 years' time, all the world's music would be available at the click of a button, you'd navigate the globe by carrying a tiny computer around in your pocket, and the US President would post a video of himself shitting over American citizens.

Powerful, grubby men using their connections to cover their abuse of a trafficked teenage girl.

After all the revelations, it's never "not" shocking.

Does Mike Johnson go with, “I haven’t seen the video” or “The President has fun online, last I checked that’s not illegal.”

I know it's a fool's errand to expect anything from the media but "President posts video of himself dumping diarrhea on America" is an important thing to call attention to for a dozen reasons

I’m absolutely exhausted in the best possible way. I love us. We did it! #NoKings

Hasan: I am not willing to sit back and watch our glorious American multiracial and multicultural democratic experiment destroyed by the guy from Home Alone 2.

Lots of nussy signs today. I love you, America 😂😂

Nye: We are here to tell our lawmakers that what's going on in our government is
