Over 5 MILLION people showed up to make their voices heard yesterday.

In over a thousand locations both here and abroad.

Their messages were clear.

The rampant destruction of Elon Musk and Donald Trump must end.

We reject the oligarchy.

Democracy is worth fighting for.

America is worth saving.

The biggest, most enduring scandal of the last few days is Trump's attempt to use an Executive Order to seize control over elections. It will not work, but it is a sign of what comes next.

I was today years old when I learned that detailed descriptions of an imminent military strike, including timing, targets and weaponry, are not considered classified information anymore.

Yesterday, Gabbard testified: “There was no classified material that was shared in that Signal chat.”

So the Director of National Intelligence lied to the US Senate.
After the Atlantic published the texts this morning, Tulsi Gabbard is confronted today on why she lied in her testimony to the Senate yesterday. She says she misremembered.

We just watched Trump & Vance do Putin’s bidding in the Oval Office & it was horrific. Not even two months into this administration & it’s a disaster for the free world.

Tesla earned $2.3 billion in the United States in 2024.

You'd think it paid a lot in taxes, right?

Well it paid precisely $0 in federal income taxes last year.

You want waste and fraud? Look at what some big corporations and the rich are getting away with.
Tesla Paid Zero Federal Income Tax in 2024, Despite $2.3 Billion in Income
This brings Tesla’s average tax rate over the past three years to 0.4 percent.

Trump is now trying to erase Biden’s legacy to promote clean energy to deal with the climate crisis and create jobs. He was humiliated when he soundly lost to Biden in 2020. He did the same to Obama in 2017 because Obama embarrassed him at a dinner about his lies that Obama was not born in Hawaii.

Fox hunting is not a sport—it's a cruel and inhumane practice. Exploiting legal loopholes, hunters continue killing innocent foxes under the guise of "fun." 🦊💔

It's time to put an end to this outdated and barbaric tradition. 🐾 Share if you agree!

He orchestrated a coup. It failed.

He was a convicted felon.

He rose to power on a wave of divisive propaganda and hateful anti-immigrant rhetoric.

He promised to make things great again.

He threatened to annex his neighbors.

I'm referring, of course, to Adolf Hitler.

So the Republican Georgia Attorney General complains about “lawfare” at the same time he inserts himself into an appeal that has nothing to do with him.

Figures.

That moment when #maga finds out their leaders and new tech bro friends actually meant that kicking out “illegals” would clear the way for low wage manual labor jobs, not high paying tech jobs, for the “native born” blue collar Americans who voted for Trump.

The big story today is the Matt Gaetz report.

The bigger story should be the incoming President, despite knowing what Gaetz is, because everyone in Congress knew, still wanted to make him the Attorney General of the United States.

Never normalize his madness, his corruption. Even for a single day.

Dear world,

Our incoming president is an unhinged lunatic.

He is fronting for a deranged oligarch who wants to establish a new world order of megalomaniacal oligarchs.

Sorry we screwed up. Again.

Please protect yourselves accordingly.

They lie to get confirmed.
We know they're lying.
Yet they get confirmed anyway.

Every confirmation should require passing a lie detector test.
