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 prisonโ€”accused of no crime, with no trialโ€”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.

There is no โ€œnovel legal theoryโ€ about a third term, as some reporters are parroting. Itโ€™s not legal, and the idea of seizing permanent power isnโ€™t a โ€œtheory,โ€ itโ€™s just what dictators do.

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.

This is Winston Churchill visiting the White House during World War II.

Funny how he isnโ€™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:

โ€œIt 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.โ€

Live updates: Trump cuts short talks with Ukraineโ€™s Zelenskyy after Oval Office blow up Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy met with President Donald Trump in Washington, seeking backing for Ukraine's security against any future Russian aggression.

President Trumpโ€™s simpering fealty to Vladimir Putin and Russia is embarrassing and dangerous.

Illinois stands with Ukraine, and so should the White House.

21 DOGE staffers resign, saying they won't help 'dismantle' public services Twenty-one members of the United States DOGE Service have resigned, they said in an anonymous letter, citing DOGE's ongoing work dramatically reshaping the federal government.

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 wonโ€™t stand for such a dangerous betrayal of the American people.

Iโ€™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.
