Still waiting for free Palestine protesters to go after Trump like they went after Biden & Harris.

WHERE YOU AT NOW?

Trump tapped Mike Huckabee for Ambassador to Israel: β€œThere’s really no such thing as a Palestinian.”

Trump himself isn’t ruling out Israel’s annexation of the West Bank.

🚨 BREAKING: Elon Musk just became the first person to reach a net worth of $400 BILLION. But his greed won’t stop here. Donald Trump wants to give him even more taxpayer subsidies and let him remove regulations that affect his companies. Like and repost if we should fully reject oligarchy like this!

I tried to tell you folks: Tuberville wants to privatize Social Security. Beware seniors. He and Trump are coming for you

FBI Director Chris Wray announces plans to resign | CNN Politics President-elect Donald Trump previously announced he will nominate Kash Patel for the role, although Wray still had three years remaining on his 10-year term.

BREAKING: FBI Director Chris Wray plans to step down by the end of Biden’s term, despite having 3 years left in his 10 year term.

This is a five alarm fire moment.

It is all the more important that people contact their Senators immediately to STOP KASH PATEL.

The loudest voice in the room isn’t always the most truthful one. Lake’s penchant for doubling down on election denialism, even after courts and audits have debunked her claims, is a testament to her disregard for democracy. She’s not a fighter for the peopleβ€”she’s a performer for the cameras. 6/x

Buckle up. It's gonna be a bumpy ride.

Especially for those of us that didn't fuck around, but we still have to find out.

It is hard to understate how silent Democrats went after Biden won. The right filled the vacuum with bullshit and aside from an obscure message or two from the White House, the GOP dominated. It didn’t have to be but Democrats don’t believe in comms. That’s a big reason we are here.

The greatest failure of the modern Democratic Party is the apparent belief that basic elements of politics -- selling your policies to voters and reminding them what you did for them -- is somehow tacky and beneath them.

Yup. Dems need to stop hoping for evil people to stop being evil and start realizing that we're in a cold civil war with an enemy that has no morals, no compassion and no patriotism.

Only sworn fealty to their fuhrer.
