Imagine knowing – being absolutely sure – that when you die, 65 or 70% of the country and the world will celebrate your death like nothing they've ever celebrated anything before.

He's been "would like to" since 2017. He ain't never done it, tho, so I'm thinking his "would like to" is as worthless as any of the other nonsense and BS that falls out of his fat, fascist, rapist's lying lips.

I can't wait to see him GONE.

I will repeat:
Not one healthcare plan has ever been put forward by the Republicans in the past nine years.
Not one.
You think they can do it in two weeks.
Not a chance.

The indictment of James Comey is just the latest example of Trump weaponizing the Justice Department to go after his political enemies.

At the same time, he’s doling out favors to his supporters and allies – including white collar criminals. Watch: https://youtu.be/NflcWXdV-B0?si=QTTJev6Fml50pYgP

Pritzker: "It's unconscionable. This has never happened before. They're calling out troops onto the streets of a state that doesn't want them and they're not even telling us where they're gonna go, what they're gonna do. This hasn't happened I don't think since the Civil War."

I can’t believe I have to say this, but historically, masked men who kidnap families in the middle of the night are usually not the good guys.

🧵 Trump’s “Antifa Roundtable” was supposed to be about safety.Instead, it was a live-action paranoia spiral—starring officials, influencers, and a script that sounds more like a dictatorship trailer than a democracy briefing. 🧵

Title slide for “The Antifa Roundtable.” A photo of Trump seated at a long table in the White House surrounded by guests. Overlaid text reads: “Yet another @Merirei-made carousel. The Antifa Roundtable. It was supposed to be about ‘safety,’ it became a live-action paranoia spiral. Critics are hailing it as a masterpiece… of sh*t!”

Federal workers in Chicago rallied today to demand that Congress pass a budget that works for all Americans, not billionaires. Trump has been shutting down public services & federal workers for months. It's time for Congress to hold the line to protect the healthcare & public services we all need.
