What's worse than the fact that they frame shit like this as if they're doing something good, rather than simply following the law, is that the reason they do it is because 32% of this fucking country can't discern fact from bullshit.

In his decades-long pantheon of bone-chilling statements, this one’s hard to top.

When Democrats lose an election, we beat ourselves up over it for months.

When Republicans lose an election, they convince themselves within 24 hours that they really won.

What's going on with his hair?

What is Trump doing while everyone else is helping?

I don’t understand how Trump lost so much ground from a year ago after spending every single day making people’s lives hell while raking in $3 billion in Qatari bribes through his crypto coin

What about the part during the campaign where Trump promised that prices were going to start coming down on Day One of his presidency? What happened to that? bsky.app/profile/atru...

Judge Ellis becomes yet another judge to note that the Trump admin's claims about what is happening in response to immigration enforcement simply do not hold up when caught on tape.

Nancy Pelosi was the first national leader to believe in @votersoftomorrow.org, back when we were all just a bunch of teenagers.

For the past few years, she’s been there whenever we’ve needed her, always providing encouragement — and squeezing my cheek when I see her.

I’m just so grateful for her.

I'm a little bit confused (rhetorical, I'm not) about why we're not hearing more from the Democrats that Donald Trump fired a bunch of federal employees and a government shutdown where only ICE and the military get paid is completely in line with his plans and funding goals

Note: I stand corrected.

The COURT, which has run out of money to pay staff, had to pay for 40 lunches so far.

Trump's own lawyer just admitted to the Supreme Court that American consumers pay 30%-80% of these insane Trump tariffs.

Over the next 10 years, Trump says they will collect over $4T in tariffs.

So that means American families are going to be paying $1.2T-$3.3 trillion dollars in TARIFF TAXES.

Easily several hundred people have packed into this plaza in Chicago's North Center tonight in response to ICE abducting a daycare worker early this morning.

This is a neighborhood that has largely been spared until now from the "Midway Blitz" terror campaign. But everyone knows someone affected.

Beshear: Let me be clear. The president has both the funding and the authority to fund snap during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.

Trump just got more desperate as you see in his posts this AM demanding the GOP pass "voter reform." Trump will do everything he can to rig and/or prevent the 2026 election. We need to be on even higher alert--as does every Democratic Attorney General and voting rights organizations.

You absolutely would not want to be, or be anywhere near, any bottle of ketchup in what remains of the White House today.

Today, Trump’s lawyers will appear before the Supreme Court to argue that tariff powers entrusted by the framers to Congress should be in his sole possession and control, so he can maniacally wield them like a cudgel to extort and torment, moving markets to enrich his friends.

If your government thinks the Pope “doesn’t know what he’s talking about” when he defends migrants’ dignity, the world should see the warning sign. The US is no longer leading on human rights. It’s suppressing them.

The resistance to fascism is alive & well. The resistance to cruelty is alive & well. The resistance to golden bathrooms & ballrooms is alive & well. The resistance to a madman who singlehandedly fucked up the economy for middle class/working class Americans is alive & well.

Feel good about yesterday’s results but recognize that Leah is right: The MAGA fascists are going to try even harder to steal elections. When we fight, we win.

Here's another bit of conventional wisdom Zohran completely blew away: His speech was at well above a 10th-grade level. It was complex, erudite, punctuated by deep and fluent references. You don't have to condescend to voters with baby talk! Part of re-establishing norms is speaking like an adult.

“We protect us” includes voters who show the fuck up.

Thank you to everyone who did.

Maybe unleashing secret militarized police on the public while taking food from the poor wasn’t the electoral masterstroke we all thought it was.

Trump said he’d be “the jobs president.” Turns out he meant job cuts. Nearly a million Americans out of work, and he’s bragging about marble bathrooms and his gilded ballroom.

Really looking forward to the Speaker of the House claiming to be unaware of the election results.

Politics is so complicated.

America is course correcting.

Donald J. Trump & @realDonald Trump "TRUMP WASN'T ON THE BALLOT, AND SHUTDOWN, WERE THE TWO REASONS THAT REPUBLICANS LOST ELECTIONS TONIGHT," according to Pollsters. 612 ReTruths 2k Likes 11/4/25, 9:05 PM
