We are witnessing the complete shredding of state capacity by a gang of children who don't understand government and have no idea what the people they're firing even do.

It's nearly 5am and Republicans just rammed through their pro-billionaire, anti-middle class budget blueprint. To pass massive tax giveaways for billionaires, they're going to defund Medicaid, slash veterans benefits, & force kids to go hungry. Make sure everyone knows it.

Not one brain cell; not one iota of empathy in this responding Republican. It's a lose-lose for farmers and those who are hungry, young and older...

Umm...that was the editor-in-chief of The Atlantic, Pete. He has plenty of credibility, according to me and many others.

MI AG here 👋. I specifically oppose: ▪️Hiring contractors who lack proper security vetting; ▪️Giving them access to American’s most personal financial & health information, & ▪️Allowing them to download that data into unsecured servers that are likely to be hacked, for a start.

Wow. In another shocking video, Speaker Mike Johnson was ALSO caught on camera saying it was a good day to buy stocks. This is text book market manipulation and he should be investigated.

Sanders: Our good friend Elon Musk sent out a tweet and in essence, he said, you know, Bernie Sanders has been talking about the growth of oligarchy year after year after year. Well, Elon, you're damn right. That's what I've been talking about . The difference is I'm no longer

BREAKING: Police just surrounded Rev. William Barber, prominent activist and pastor, as he and others prayed in the U.S. Capitol Rotunda. Police then expelled everyone (including press) to (presumably) arrest them. Covered protests here a lot. Never seen anything like it.

The White House This has got to be the most baneful and sacrilegious public statement from the United States Government. If shame and moral scruples had any value in this Administration, this abominable post would be deleted. But alas, depravity reigns supreme.
