When Democratic Senators repeatedly vote to confirm Trump’s Cabinet picks, they are telling you that they do not care about our democracy or their constituents.

They are on the side of the wealthy corporations & the pedophiles who are destroying our country.

Vote accordingly.
The Trump administration just conducted an illegal attack on Venezuela and has spoken about attacking Colombia, Mexico, Cuba, and Denmark.

These Democrats just voted to confirm Trump's nominee for Assistant Secretary of Defense:

Fetterman
Gallego
Kaine
King
Reed
Rosen

It appears two ICE observers following ICE agents on 31st in south Minneapolis this morning were arrested. Activists say it appears the ICE observer vehicle was stopped or slid into something, and ICE agents used pepper spray and broke the car window, arresting the occupants.

Why is the world letting him get away with that? Venezuela HAS a government, the VP was sworn in. End of story. You don't get to pick a new leader and "run" another country just because you arrested their leader for crimes. What the actual fuck? UN? NATO? Anyone?? He has no right to do this.

The US military is actively engaging in war crimes. They are complicit in acts of treason, defying their oath, and following illegal orders.

HOLY CRAP! Trump is literally falling in and out of consciousness as his Military commander speaks about kidnapping Maduro and taking over Venezuela.

What a sh-tshow!

The president is getting intravenous drugs and taking repeated cognitive exams and MRIs with no explanation and the entire country is going along as if business as usual. We need something to pop this bubble of delusion.
The entire 2024 campaign was a hallucination. There is no other way to put it. The whole thing was a collective fever dream.
I’m thinking this morning about all the people I spoke to last year who were absolutely convinced, and tried to convince me, that Trump would be antiwar compared to Biden and Harris.

In the past week alone he has attacked Nigeria and then Venezuela and also threatened to attack Iran (again).

Trump going on national television and essentially saying that we just annexed Venezuela and are going to steal its most precious natural resource and will kidnap any Venezuelan leader who disagrees may be the craziest presidential address of my lifetime

JACK SMITH: “We had proof beyond a reasonable doubt Trump engaged in a criminal scheme to overturn the results of the 2020 election, prevent the peaceful transfer of power, retained classified docs, obstructed justice… I’d charge an ex president again regardless of party.”

cool that the official position of the administration appears to be that black people don’t really count as americans
"The Donald Trump administration has changed which holidays qualify for free entrance to national parks, removing two holidays celebrating Black people and adding the president’s birthday."
National parks change prioritizes Trump birthday over days honoring Black people
Free entrance days at national parks no longer include MLK Day and Juneteenth.

SCOOP: Sources tell me Donald Trump's name was added to the exterior of the US Institute of Peace building ahead of Thursday's peace agreement signing between Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), which will be held inside the building. Confirming if it's been officially renamed.

We are the wealthiest country in the world and yet this is how we treat our seniors and veterans. If you support Trump and Republicans ripping away SNAP, Medicaid, and Obamacare subsidies to give tax cuts to billionaires — GO FUCK YOURSELF. 😳👇

Horrifying story: Chicago promoted two police officers even after investigators found they engaged in sexual misconduct. That’s because the Chicago Police Department’s promotions system allows officers’ disciplinary records to be ignored.

It’s exhausting to keep demanding better from establishment Dems too beholden to capital to ever challenge the billionaire elite’s GOP puppets. We’re wasting time as our democracy crumbles into dust.

Instead, we should vote them out & replace them with reps who WILL vote to impeach Hegseth
For some reason Democratic leaders seem to prefer telling voters what they won’t be able to do, rather than what they’d like to do.

If Hegseth ordered a war crime and lied about it, shouldn’t Ds try for impeachment? Put Rs on the spot. They might get a few defections.
