"Everyone wants to talk about how Maduro was illegitimate. As we sit here on January 6, I do want to be clear: somebody else was trying to be a Maduro of the United States. Somebody else wanted to do the exact same thing. The difference is Maduro was successful."

No amount of gaslighting will convince sane and rational Americans that we didn’t see what we saw on January 6, 2021.

Let’s cut through some of the bullshit and lies…

Trump just admitted the truth: The "attack" on Putin’s home never happened. 🚨

He got played by Russian propaganda, and it’s humiliating.

As much as fascists despise “cultural elites,” they crave the prestige and relevance the arts can bestow on its patrons. Moreover, they fear the arts community as a hotbed of irreverence, dissent, and nonconformism.

Today is the five year anniversary of the most peaceful capital tour in U.S. history. Don't believe me, you can read all about it in the Trump Bible for only $99 dollars, and a monthly commitment of $1000 dollars a month for life. Trump 2028, it's not a lie if you believe it.

Where is Congress?
I’ll tell you where. Cowering in their corners. Too afraid to step into this fight for democracy and America. Instead, they’ll let him burn the world to a cinder. They want the power, but none of the responsibility. It doesn’t stop here. He’s going to continue waging wars.

Tony Dokoupil's audition for Bari Weiss was attacking Ta-Nehisi Coates for talking about Palestinian liberation and criticizing Israel's occupation.

Voila, he's failed up to become the lead anchor for CBS Evening News.

But at what cost?

He's a punchline, a joke, and seen as a total clown.

If you want our politics to change, it is IMPERATIVE that you become a different kind of voter:

1) become an OBSESSIVE primary, local & off-cycle voter

2) research every candidate and don’t rely on what commercials tell you about them

3) show up at events where candidates speak & debate

Poverty is a policy choice. Concentrated wealth is a policy choice. Inequality is a policy choice. None of it is natural or inevitable. Remember: We have the power to build a system that serves the many, not the powerful few.

Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

Health care and social assistance have led employment growth this year. Despite Trump’s efforts, manufacturing saw among the worst job losses.

It’s been 15 years since the Affordable Care Act became law. It’s been 15 years since every member of the Republican Party said they have an alternative that’s better. It’s been 15 years and Republicans haven’t even shown Americans a single word of their great plan.

The GOP can FRO!

Rep Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) is going to make one hell of a Senator. Here she is calling out the administration’s racist and cruel immigration policies. Trump has rescinded TPS status on multiple countries and many of them have one thing in common, melanin in their skin!👏🏻👏🏽👏🏾

When I first interviewed Rob Reiner he told me: “There’s no question about it. This is the most corrupt and criminal presidency that we’ve ever seen. Not only corrupt and criminal. He’s inept. He’s not qualified, and he’s incredibly stupid.”

Still holds true to this very day. RIP Rob and Michele.

I know I've been beating this drum for over seven years now, but Donald Trump is a very and truly sick man who should be in a mental or penal institution and certainly not the White House.
this is one of the most psychotic things Trump has ever posted
