"I do think he needs help, and I don't think anybody around him on a day-to-day basis wants to get him any help, because they have more power based upon his diminished capacity."

Durbin: "What has taken place since January 20, 2025, would make even President Nixon recoil. This is your legacy, AG Bondi."

You can joke about Pam Bondi’s ridiculous unprofessionalism all you want, but I’m deeply shocked by it: She acts as if she fears absolutely no consequences, convinced that there will be no more political power transfers. — This should shake everyone to their core.

I'm sorry. :( . it is so heartbreaking

THIS.

If you were in the room during Hegseth and Trump's speech, and you'd like to share your response anonymously, reach out to me on Signal (in bio.) Share widely.

Republicans’ quest to shut down the government is simple: they would rather unleash this havoc than simply keep health care costs stable for millions.

He wants to dictate what the press can say.
What a university can teach.
Whom a company can employ.
And to whom the law shall apply.

He who wants all this is not a president,
But strives to be a dictator.
And all who succumb are not citizens,
But subjects.

trump's reckless regime puts all Americans' lives at risk -- from the assaults on our freedoms, our infrastructure, our social programs, our economy and now this.

This:

Let us never forget, how many of the political games the GOP played involved the loss of human lives. They’re still playing those games. People are still dying.

his actions and behavior will continue to get worse because he is power hungry, has developing dementia, is a sociopath and because companies and other groups have caved to him. trump's (and his cabinet) unconstitutional actions are unamerican as it gets. Stand strong and don't take the bait

A screenshot of two X posts. The first post is from Tom Morello (@tmorello), timestamped 7 hours ago, with a profile picture showing a person in a colorful outfit. The text reads: "What the f*ck is wrong with these people. Wounded Knee was a bloodthirsty massacre of Lakota Sioux, including dozens of women and children." The second post is from Secretary of War Pete (@username), timestamped 9 hours ago, with a profile picture of a man in a suit. The text reads: "Under my direction, the soldiers who fought at the Battle of Wounded Knee will keep their medals. This decision is final. Their place in history is settled." The second post includes an image of a man in a suit standing in front of an American flag and an official seal, appearing to give a formal statement.

Wounded Knee is a dark stain upon our nation’s history. We must remember it for what it truly was, not for what white nationalists would have it be.

exactly!

As Our Generals and Admirals Fly Home, Our Adversaries Watch and Wait Couldn’t Hegseth’s in-person meeting of all flag officers have been a secure conference call?

"In my forty years in uniform, I never saw anything like it."

Much as I hate to defend Jim Comey, I need to point something out:

It is not his own actions that have resulted in this chain of events. It is not his "karma."

It is a violent, blatant abuse of power by the DOJ to carry out a revenge tour on behalf of the president.

As I was saying…

There is no world in which it is normal for the president to publicly call upon his attorney general to hurry up and prosecute his political foes. It’s like the Watergate tapes but posted on social media. Let’s get a grip on what’s happening here.

I hope everyone knows that every time this regime announces that he has an announcement --often days in advance of said announcement -- it is a manipulation and distraction technique. Don't let the incessant barrage rob you of your energy. Keep your lifeforce directed towards the worthy (i.e. you)

Whether you like or dislike what’s said, free speech is at the heart of our democracy.

Protecting it should be one of our core missions as a nation.

If there were ever a moment for the so-called “free speech warriors” to speak out, now would be the time.

🚨BREAKING: Rep. Ro Khanna just motioned to SUBPOENA FCC chairman Brendan Carr in the House Oversight Committee to stop the intimidation of private businesses and assault on free speech

This is the playbook, folks.

If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away.

Do not be quiet in this moment.

Weird that the FCC Chair had no issue with Kilmeade wanting to euthanize homeless people.

No elected official is above our constitutional rights.

The Constitution brought America’s states together into a unified whole that derives its power from the people.

We must call out any action that undermines the principles our founders fought for and protect our democracy.

By allowing the right to conflate criticizing Charlie Kirk with celebrating his murder, our elite media is inflaming the situation enormously.

Empires decline all the time, for all kinds of reasons, but our present moment will be remembered in history books for the sheer volume of *voluntary & pointless self-imposed damage*. We're systematically dismantling what made us great, for no reason! Genuinely, with no rationale! It's wild.

We cannot shrug anything off anymore, or let these idiotic proclamations go unchallenged.

Really, one of the most dangerous things going on right now is we have a president determined to do what he feels like without any regard to the constitution or anyone's rights. And the corrupt supreme court, Senate and House is filled with accomplices in stealing our Liberty and Justice for all
