Under Biden, the US economy was outpacing all of these places. After a couple months of Trump, they are now outpacing us. Thanks, Donald.
Before the election, I warned that there is no safe haven under authoritarianism.
If they can ship Kilmar Abrego Garcia to a foreign prison—accused of no crime, with no trial—they can do it to anyone.
Americans of conscience must stand against this now.
My 10 year old sister and I got Social Security payments after my father died from exposure to Agent Orange. It helped my widowed mom when the family lost his income. He paid into it his whole life. They even took it from his check while he was serving in Vietnam. Jeanine can go fuck herself.
Can this finally put an end to the idea that Republicans are fiscally responsible?
Justice Ketanji Brown-Jackson just wrote a perfect Epitaph for the Roberts Court.
No. You’ve been watching stock market fraud.
There is no “novel legal theory” about a third term, as some reporters are parroting. It’s not legal, and the idea of seizing permanent power isn’t a “theory,” it’s just what dictators do.
If you're in Wisconsin, please know that Judge Susan Crawford will protect YOUR rights and freedoms. Find your polling place and make a plan to vote tomorrow: vote.wisdems.org
Working on my follow backs. I check every follow so I’m a bit behind. If you’re real and blue, I’ll follow back soon.

Hello he lied
True facts.
For the rest of my life, I will never understand how a country full of people busting their asses, working paycheck to paycheck, allow the fucking richest guy on Earth to call them "parasites" while calling the Social Security we contributed to our entire lives "a Ponzi scheme."
Un-fucking-real.
Social Security isn't sending checks to dead people over 120.
Tariffs aren't beautiful, but they are raising prices on groceries, beer, and cars.
Elon Musk is taking away veterans' healthcare and childcare for families.
Presidents are supposed to be truth-tellers, not liars.
First-term Michigan Sen. Elissa Slotkin accused President Donald Trump of driving up costs while pushing for an “unprecedented giveaway to his billionaire friends” in Tuesday night’s Democratic response to his first joint congressional address of his second term.

This is Winston Churchill visiting the White House during World War II.
Funny how he isn’t wearing a suit either. Almost like he was a wartime leader defending his country from being slaughtered and wiped out by an authoritarian aggressor.
You can either support the United States of America and our democracy, or you can support trump.
You cannot do both.
Volodymyr Zelenskyy is EVERYTHING the civilian pukes in the White House wish they were: masculine, powerful and charismatic. They hate him because his presence reveals their cosplay.
Zelenskyy will go down as one of the great heroic figures of the 21st century
Per @chrisdjackson.bsky.social on another platform:
“It took me 30 seconds to find at least ten postings from Zelensky directly thanking the United States for their support. There are many more.
This is pure BS.”
President Trump’s simpering fealty to Vladimir Putin and Russia is embarrassing and dangerous.
Illinois stands with Ukraine, and so should the White House.
Even the people working at DOGE say it is a lawless nightmare for America. In fact, they know it better than anyone.
Thanks to these true public servants who won’t stand for such a dangerous betrayal of the American people.
I’m demanding answers, alongside members of the Illinois federal delegation, from the Trump administration for ignoring court orders to release almost $1.88 billion in federal funding for our state.
If they can't hold their end of the deal, Illinoisans deserve to know.
Tyranny requires your fear and your silence and your compliance.
Democracy requires your courage.
So gather your justice and humanity, Illinois, and do not let despair overcome us when our country needs us the most.
You are not powerless, and he is not unstoppable. Look at, and learn from, the funding freeze and how quickly he was forced to surrender.
