Chuck Schumer still thinks it's the era of polite letters and handshake deals. But those days are over.

Fighting the rise of authoritarianism demands steely resolve - not compromise. Schumer’s time is up.

Only bold, unflinching leadership can save our democracy.

Legal counsel representing federal employees is now being targeted by the Trump administration. Law firms are receiving a clear message that retaliation is possible for those advocating on behalf of individuals or groups opposing the administration’s agenda.

Every dem should have walked out. Spineless.
Democrats in Congress—we asked for fight and you come up with childish signs. You all should have walked out in solidarity with Al Green and the American people tonight.

This is not the business!

Since Congress’s allotted funds have already been improperly unallocated, U.S. citizens are questioning whether they are legally required to continue paying federal taxes.

(1/3) It needs repeating: in 1994, Ukraine was persuaded to give up its nuclear weapons to Russia in return for the US, the UK, and Russia guaranteeing Ukraine’s sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity.

I think Americans have to understand things won't go back to normal and no one is coming to save us. The self destructive decision to vote for Trump is going to cause long term pain, damage and weakness. We have to survive and try to rebuild something better. Generational effort sadly.

Anyone in the world that takes the US word for anything is going to get played for a sucker. We, as a society, have become the schoolyard bully.
This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell.

This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

The United States now playing the role that communist satellite states once played in the UN: sponsoring resolutions in its own name but on behalf of Moscow.

How did we become this stupid as a society?
Boston Globe reports antics of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem at Vermont/Quebec library that sits on Canada-U.S. border. She repeatedly stepped over taped boundary marker in middle of the library, referring to Canada as the "51st State" every time she stood in Canada.

So it is only “disrespect” if you aren’t paying to play? Muskrat can wear whatever he wants?
MAGA has tried to paint Zelensky as a grifter living high on the US taxpayer dime, while sending his people to their deaths. Alleging that Zelensky is laundering billions. If he were to wear a suit, MAGA would use it. A $100 off the rack suit would turn into a $3000 one as an ‘I told you so,’ thing
MAGA are mad at Zelenskyy for not wearing a suit for an official White House meeting.

Today, a reporter from the Russian state news agency TASS gained unauthorized access to the Oval Office. How does one gain unauthorized access to the Oval Office? Meanwhile, AP and Reuters were blocked.

Remember: the televised punishment & humiliation meted out to Zelensky just now could be done to any NATO ally facing similar aggression. The sense of sneering hostility & contempt by Trump & Vance isn’t specific to Ukraine.

In 2020, the military was adamant about refusing to get involved in the election. That's why Trump hates General Mark Milley so much. Now, Trump is transforming the military into one that will back him up in 2029. We need to figure out how to prepare for that eventuality.
