Obama: "When you see an administration suggest that ordinary street crime is an insurrection or a terrorist act, that is a genuine effort to weaken how we have understood democracy."

😂

I just listened to stats from Trump’s polling firm that said that if they take away the ACA subsidies, Republicans are -15%. If they keep the subsidies, they are +4%.

My premiums would go up to probably about $1500 a month.

But, on a purely political level, we should let them hang themselves.

The flew the entire military leadership in so they could see for themselves that the Secretary of Defense is a mouthbreathing dipshit and the Commander in Chief is a senile, weak old man who might keel over at any moment.

Congratulations, @repjeffries and @senschumer.

You didn’t listen to YOUR base and tried to negotiate with a terrorist.

You allowed him to humiliate and diminish you.

Turn over the reins to AOC and Chris Murphy.

Our “king” is taking 10% interest in private company, dictating what media companies can say or do and occupying our cities with military against American citizens. Who is more of a communist?

But no, our leaders refuse to endorse and embrace young popular voices we need to broaden our coalition.

Internalize the attacks and fear the branding rather than leaning in and focusing on the policies and values that are POPULAR— like Mamdani is with AFFORDABILITY.

We should be looking at them every time they call Mamdani or any Democratic socialist a communist and laugh at them. Point out that ⤵️

We have literal fascists holding the puppet strings over our wannabe king, executing autocratic executive orders & lawsuits faster than Victor Orban did —but centrist Democrats are afraid to embrace DEMOCRATIC socialists in our supposedly “big tent?”

This is why Republican propaganda works. Dems ⤵️

Quinnipiac in recent poll asked: Do you think that the way people talk about politics these days is contributing to violence in the United States, or don't you think so? 82% of voters agreed with this including majority of Dems, Independents, and GOP. I said basically this and got fired.

It’s actually kind of hysterical that Trump and his goons are trying to say that the left has this highly organized terrorist network.

Anybody who’s ever been a Democrat knows that trying to get people in our party to act together is like herding cats. 🐈‍⬛

Some of us do.

Trump won’t meet. Dems should be mocking him for his image of being a deal guy.

Biden negotiated big legislation with Republicans successfully. In 2 terms, Trump has yet to do that.

There is no art of the deal.

He is an imposter.

Other people do the work & he takes credit.

GO ON OFFENSE.

a POTUS, VP, AG and a chief of staff that are out there spreading inflammatory propaganda as if “the left” wants the right dead.

They are the sick ones.

We need to amplify this.

According to some good polls, 20% of Republicans believe that sometimes it be be necessary to use violence to achieve political ends. 10% of Democrats believe that.

That means that 80- 90% of us, do not believe that violence is an appropriate way to achieve political ends.

We unfortunately have ⤵️

Do Fox News hosts and commentators agree with their colleague Brian Kilmeade that the United States should "just kill" homeless people?

He still has a job. No apology. No retraction.

Just let us know, Fox.

I would challenge him to find one Democratic leader who has done this. A lot of of those accounts have no profile picture and very low followers.

Why are Democrats held responsible for every bad person but Don Jr and his father can post horrible things about Paul Pelosi and others?

The picture of health and manhood. 🙄

Absolutely right!

Narcissists move on when someone is of no use to them anymore.

It’s really impossible to tell the difference between Newsome’s social media post and Trump’s. Whoever is doing this, has nailed it! And it shows how ridiculous he is.

Future ICE agents. There’s just so much open racial profiling, racism and now being super aggressive to brown skin people that I worry about some of these young white men who have grown up with MAGA for 10 years.

Biden travel to Kyiv in a war zone.

Captain Canckles ambled around in the affluent part of DC surrounded by national guard.

What a fucking joke he is

Daily insanity.

Sometimes I wonder how Merrick Garland, John Roberts and Mitch McConnell think about how things are going.

They, and the millions of people who didn’t vote for Kamala Harris in 2024 because they were pissed about this thing or that thing and ignored the dangers of project 2025.

Thank you, @mollyjongfast.bsky.social on Fast Politics pod.

Pretty remarkable that Donald Trump didn’t deploy the national Guard in DC when his rioters were beating the crap out of police and storming the United States Capitol, but let “Big Balls” be the victim of a car jacking, and he’s used it as an excuse to deploy military in DC.

This could backfire by pissing Trump off and getting him to pressure red state governors to do this across the country. Let’s base it, they have more governors and legislatures than we do.

Republican gerrymandering targets minority voters and their representatives Black political power is on the line.

“Across the country, Republicans are waging a calculated campaign to erase Black and Latino political power through extreme gerrymandering.

This isn’t just about redrawing maps—it’s about dismantling representation and silencing communities that have fought the hardest to be heard.”

This could backfire. Trump will be pissed and pressure every red state to gerrymander and let’s face it, they have more governors and legislators than we do.
