I knew when I heard "Grab 'em by the pussy"

I didn't need to see the birthday card, the emails, know the sordid details of the affairs that lead up to 34 hush money related convictions or the court finding that he raped a woman

Hey @support.bsky.team What is going on with Sarah Kendzior? Why was she suspended with no explanation? Are you doing this to lesser-known people that weโ€™re never going to find out about?

โ€œEither through complicity or incompetence, Chuck Schumer once again proved he cannot provide the type of leadership that young Americans demand. It is clear he must step down as caucus leader.โ€

BREAKING: Trump and Rubio just got CAUGHT sneaking $7,500,000 of taxpayer money to corrupt officials in Equatorial Guinea, in exchange for their country accepting US deportees who aren't from there. ๐Ÿ˜ณ Don't let them do this quietly.

Hey, a lot of people are talking about changing affiliation from Democratic to Independent.

Let me tell you why you shouldnโ€™t do that in Colorado.

One of the main ways to get a primary challenge candidate on a ballot is to caucus for your party. You need to be registered as a Dem to caucus.

I got back to my office after the vote last night and recorded this. There's no way to sugarcoat what happened. And my fear is that Trump gets stronger, not weaker, because of this acquiescence. I'm angry - like you. But I choose to keep fighting.

This is the dark little  secret in campaigns that nobody wants to talk about.
Consultants in Washington, DC are recruiting their own candidates to stay in business. The panel addresses how Black and Latino consulting firms stay ahead of their competitors, who are able to recruit candidates mere days after candidates file the paperwork to run for office. This is the dark little secret in campaigns that nobody wants to talk about.

1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. โฌ‡๏ธ

As part of her Revenge/Makeover/Spike My Algorithm tour, will Marjorie Taylor Greene FINALLY explain to Americans who--specifically--"allowed" her to believe that school shootings aren't real, Pelosi should be executed and Trump won an election he lost by over 7 million votes?

Supreme Court allows Trump to end policy of self-identifying gender on passports Supreme Court on Thursday allowed the administration to end for now a policy under which people can self-identify their gender on passports.

Just unnecessary cruelty.

This is their priority as the government is shut down and Americans are starving.

I donโ€™t know how many times Iโ€™ve watched this video.

I donโ€™t know how weโ€™ve gotten to the point where men in full balaclavas can abduct daycare teachers while theyโ€™re watching children.

But I do know that this isnโ€™t sustainable. Abolish ICE. There is no way to reform this.
