I might be wrong, but I think their X bubbles have led them to overestimate their own popularity and how much power over the public they've actually consolidated

Just openly cheering the destruction of any representation of gay people in public space. They think their power is totally unrestricted, and the entire country will support them rolling back society to the 1950s, or maybe the 1850s

I'm on the slowest bus line in the city with the slowest buses in the nation to talk to New Yorkers about what it would mean for their lives if we made them fast and free.

Today, Senator Kaine and I will force the Senate to vote on the administration’s decision to blow up ships in the Caribbean.

If a president can unilaterally put people or groups on a list and kill them, there is no meaningful limit to his use of force.

outside of not doing it in the first place, apologizing and donating your pay is the only real move

Rubio's claim that no one has died is ludicrous on its face. If USAID was the reason kids didn't starve to death -- and it was for tens of millions of kids -- we can be certain that, now that DOGE has killed USAID, kids are starving to death.

When the original Nintendo Wii came out in 2006 and got so popular with Seniors I was working in a store and had an older guy in shopping for his rest home. He asked what "Call of Duty" was, we said "It's an army game, you fight the Nazis." He goes "Eh, I already did that enough." 😅
