Murphy: "If we continue to observe norms, if we continue to engage in business as usual, this democracy could be gone. I don't think we have a year to save American democracy. I think the way the president is acting ... puts out democracy at immediate risk."

It’s still difficult for me to express just how disappointed I am in Chuck Schumer.

They're both ego maniacs, there's no world where they can co-exist long term.

The divorce is coming, and that may be what ultimately saves our democracy.

No one elected Elon Musk.

As Donald Trump allows Musk to access people’s personal information and shut down government funding, Republicans in Washington will also own the consequences.

We must do everything in our power to push back and protect people from harm.

Less than 1% of **ists ever see time behind bars, and far less of those who make threats of such violence ever seen the book shown to them.

And this woman got the entire book thrown at her, because the case relates to a billionaire.

Potential of 15 years and 100k bond.

A failed justice system.
A Florida woman who was angry her insurance claims were denied was arrested after making threats against Blue Cross Blue Shield, including “Delay, deny, depose. You people are next.”

She’s accused of also saying, “Delay, deny, depose.”

Tells you a lot about the character of someone when they love to talk about how "tough on crime" they are and then call 🍇 an "indiscretion."

Also, you hiding something, buddy????

This story is about 3 months old.

Seen countless R politicians rage about trans people in the name of "child safety" but have never seen a single one call this out.

For two weeks, Trump has enjoyed — and exploited — an aura of invincibility that few Republicans have been willing to challenge publicly.

Yesterday, the bubble finally popped.
Gaetz debacle shows chaos reigns supreme in Trump's Washington
Even for Senate Republicans, the Gaetz nomination was a bridge too far.

All of Trump's picks have one thing in common.....
Linda McMahon, President-elect Donald Trump’s choice for education secretary, has been accused in a lawsuit of failing to stop a ringside announcer for World Wrestling Entertainment from grooming and sexually abusing children in the 1980s and 1990s.

The culture here makes it possible.

After Jan 6th I privately confronted Mace for lying about my story bc she too was terrified in her office.

I said as another assault survivor you know how harmful what you did is. Why? She said “whatever you know it’s a game, just points on the board”

Uhh no???

By my count, there's four members of the incoming Trump administration accused of rape or sexual assault - Trump himself, Peter Hegseth, Matt Gaetz, and RFK Jr (all of whom, with the exception of RFK Jr. have denied the allegations against them).

Who am I missing?
