We can no longer stand by while the criminal-in-chief ransacks our government and lays waste to our democracy. Time to knuckle down.

Not to mention, why are U.S. media ignoring Trump's incredible gaffe at a Women's History Month event, where he gushed over the great job Kellyanne Conway is doing as WH press sec?

Google "Trump Kellyanne Conway." You'll see many links to international media, virtually none to US news outlets.

Appointee wants to replace White House columns with the ones Trump prefers The head of a federal arts commission is proposing the more ornate Corinthian style for the nearly 200-year-old columns at the building’s front entrance.

More waste, fraud & abuse by Trump.

He's pissing away millions on a gaudy ballroom, and now his appointee wants to replace historically significant WH columns for a "more ornate" style "favored by Trump."

No $ for health care or schools. Plenty for his ego.

Is Donald Trump 'Losing It?' Viewers Alarmed By Live TV Memory Blunder Donald Trump sparked concern after appearing to confuse Kellyanne Conway with Karoline Leavitt at a White House Women's History Month event, drawing scrutiny online.

A moment like this bounced Joe Biden from the '24 presidential race.

Trump praised "fantastic" Kellyanne Conway at length for her great work in the Briefing Room. But Conway hasn't worked for Trump for years.

This guy has unimpeded access to Tomahawk missiles.

Can everyone climb off Chalamet's back?

The gratuitous hit piece in today's #NYT is the shittiest kind of piling on: nothing new, just another verbal grenade over his "dismissiveness" of opera & ballet and his alleged smugness/entitlement. 🙄

Everyone knew. Even the Trump dicks knew, but couldn’t admit it without getting shunned (looking at you, Miss Lindsey), so they did that weird performative co-sign. Humiliating.

As we approach the midterms, I see the need for an agenda far beyond just stopping Trump. This thread outlines 10 specific goals for major reform.

If you agree this is a worthy vision, please share the thread and join the dialogue on where America goes after we end Trump's rein of terror.

We can make America work for Americans again
and stop allowing our hard-earned tax dollars to be handed over to crooks, corporate interests and defense contractors.

It only requires will and determination.

Let's make the midterms the launch of a second American Revolution.

One for America.

...last September alone to keep unspent appropriations from going back to the general fund. His criminal purchases included $15 MILLION for ribeye steak and $7 MILLION for lobster tails.

We must have the will to bring Defense to heel and significantly cut its obscene $920 BILLION a year budget.

We can follow his lead.

Consider healthcare. Reform starts with a resolute commitment to ignoring insurance, Big Pharma and hospital industries, which have been allowed to block healthcare for ALL AMERICANS for too long.

Consider the military. Hegseth squandered $93.4 BILLION...

But know these facts:

Mamdani was sworn in Jan. 1.

Seven days later, he and NY Gov. Kathy Hochul announced the first big move: Expansion of universal free childcare to the age of 2, starting THIS MONTH.

More will be phased in over time.

Mamdani refused to be slowed by critics or lobbyists.

...certainly not the end points. There's much more to do to make sure a crook like Trump can never commandeer our government again.

Critics will argue, "That's too ambitious -- it can't be done."

I refer them to NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani. "Experts" called his big campaign promises "pipe dreams."

9. Lifetime bans on government service by Trump administration crooks.

10. Complete release of all Epstein files to which Congress has access and Congressional contempt charges for Todd Blanche and others who have blocked the release of the rest.

IMHO, these should be 10 starting points...

6. Congressional investigations of illegal spending by the entire Trump admin, starting with Noem and Hegseth and expanding outward.

7. Impeachment of Pam Bondi, esp if she won't bring the charges referred by those investigations.

8. Full disclosure of ALL findings of those investigations

3. Restoration of agencies and offices established by Congress that Trump has illegally gutted or eliminated, starting with the Dept of Education

4. A major reduction in military spending

5. Temporary closure of DHS and ICE as they are both rebuilt from the ground up under strict oversight.

Dems can and probably will take the House - maybe the Senate, too, ending Trump's fascist rein of unchecked power.

But we MUST NOT be satisfied with only that. Our movement demands much more. Now is the time to grasp that ring:

1. Healthcare coverage for all Americans

2. Free child care

🧵Americans are rising up like never before to reject the corruption and lawlessness of Donald Trump and his Republican party.

We see the evidence in election after election repudiating Trump & electing Dems to seats never thought to be competitive.

The midterms promise MUCH more of the same.

I think we've been here before, so take your pick:

1. It's too soon to discuss gun regulation.
2. Laws won't stop crooks from misusing guns.
3. The price of freedom is students being gunned down on campus.
4. What part of "the right to bear arms" don't you get?
5. Some other right-wing gibberish.

Seahawks GM warns about proposed Washington state income tax The Super Bowl-champion Seattle Seahawks are pushing against a proposed 'millionaire tax' in Washington state , arguing that it could become a detriment to attracting free agents.

Super sad that #SeattleSeahawks players making OVER $1 MILLION A YEAR now may to have to (gasp!) pay a small income tax in Washington state!

Oh, the horror.

Srsly, fuck Seahawks GM John Schneider for this crybaby bullshit about how "it's going to sting." 😭

HOME | Steve Luking for NC Steve Luking is running for NC Senate, learn about his candidacy here.

Are you an NC voter? Have you heard that Senate Pres. #PhilBerger (R-Darth Vader) has been bounced from the Senate?

Dr. Steve Luking ⬇️ is the Dem nominee to replace him. Flipping the seat of the guy who gerrymandered TF out of NC, rigged elections boards & more would be HUGE.

GOP, fearing tough fight for Texas Senate seat, paints Democrat as radical Talarico, who is looking to flip Texas blue in his quest for the U.S. Senate, says the attacks from Republicans are a distraction from real issues.

The GOP is still under the stupid impression that tagging somebody as a “liberal,” “socialist” or “radical” is their magic bullet, even when voters can see for themselves it’s a lie.

#JamesTalarico is the real deal. Texas voters will not be fooled.

Sam Page certified winner of NC senate primary by 23 votes; Berger hints at recount Sam Page has been certified the winner of the Republican primary for North Carolina’s State Senate District 26, holding a 23-vote lead over Sen. Phil Berger, but Berger’s campaign says it may request ...

Nothing sweeter than watching NC Senate President Pro Tem Phil Berger FINALLY lose his Senate seat -- and by a paltry 23 votes.

Here's hoping neither Berger nor his SC justice son can sway things with behind-the-scenes election-rigging bullshit.

On to beat Sam Page!

Judge Quashes Justice Dept.’s Subpoenas of Fed, Crippling Its Pursuit of Trump’s Rivals

NYT's coverage of Judge Box O' Wine's faceplant on Trump's Fed investigation is the most damning summary yet of how Trump has misused DOJ to persecute his enemies.

I'm not shocked by anything Trump does, but the way his toadies rush to demean themselves is insane.

N.C. Sheriff Poised to Pull Off Stunning Upset in Consequential G.O.P. Primary

Here’s what national media are missing in this primary:

Berger exaggeratedly branded himself as Trump’s boy. Every ad led with the pedo’s endorsement, as though “Trump” were a magic word.

Berger’s L is a *direct repudiation* of Trump — by NC GOP VOTERS, no less.

4 dead after U.S. Air Force refueler crashes in Iraq while supporting Iran war The KC-135 tanker, which had a crew of six, was involved in an apparent accident with another KC-135. The other aircraft landed safely, officials said.

Eleven U.S. military personnel now dead in a vanity war Trump stupidly, unilaterally started.

Eleven families broken and destined to grieve forever for the untimely and wholly avoidable death of their people.

And Trump/Hegseth DGAF.
