What we have here is a Double Standard!

If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people:

1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money
3) We won’t need a lot of troops
4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq
5) We’ll find WMDs
6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators
7) It will be easy
8) It won’t take long

All lies.

This right here......

@booker.senate.gov as a former NJ resident, I urge you to keep going. Nothing more poetic than for a black mean to beat a the racist record of Strom Thurmond. I hope @schumer.senate.gov and @kirstengillibrand.bsky.social take note of what it looks like to show a backbone.

Evil.

CALL TO ACTION: Call your representatives at (202) 224-3121 and ask what criteria they plan to use when “vetting” their constituents.

BASH: I remember a time when Republicans were very careful about the government having access to personal data

NOEM: Well, we can't trust the government anymore

BASH: You are the government

Murphy: "We need to act like a real opposition party in the middle of a constitutional and democracy crisis. That means we should not be moving forward nominees or legislation in the Senate. Ds should not be giving votes to nominee or legislation in the Senate until Rs get serious about this crisis"

Also, if you opt to email your reps instead, we do suggest you use our call scripts as starting points and not simply copy/paste into an email. While brief statements work for calls, emails and letters are most effective with unique personal messages. 👍🏽

it’s my strong belief that repetition and continuity are essential right now. members of congress not let into USAID today? go back tomorrow. keep going back and asking “what are you hiding?” until you get an answer. one press conference isn’t going to impress upon people how important this is.

If you’re an anxious caller, the app @5calls.org provides you with who to call in congress or your state and a script you can work off for issues you are concerned about. I hate phone calls but calling is more effective than email.

This is so good.

hey quick question does Goliath win in that story

FAFO, senator.

You did this. You made this monster.

When I was a Hill staffer in 2009, a Dem trifecta was trying to pass universal healthcare. In response, Senate GOP released a memo detailing all of the tactics they in the minority could use to delay the effort as much as possible. I'm recirculating that 2009 GOP memo here. Take inspiration from it.

Jim Acosta announces on air that he's leaving CNN and says, "it is never a good time to bow down to a tyrant ... don't give in to the lies."

Hi, I’m God.

You all died in 2016.

And yes, this is Hell.

When the 4 Non Blondes said “And so I wake in the morning and I step outside, and I take a deep breath and I get real high
and I scream from the top of my lungs WHAT’S GOIN ON?!”

I really felt that.

Pete Hegseth has a history of
- alcohol abuse
- gross mistreatment of women
- management & financial failure
- defending war criminals

and he’s been confirmed as our next SecDef

But tell us again how it’s actually women and people of color who are “underqualified”

It all feels like a family with a genuinely abusive family member choosing to just carry on with the holiday traditions, hoping to create normalcy through sheer will and denial.

The NYT headline for Trump's pardon of the Jan6ers. It reads, "Trump pardons nearly all of the 1,600 Jan 6 defendants."

Imagine if the headline was, "Trump puts hundreds of violent criminals back on the streets"?

It is not "hard," it is unconstitutional.

Maybe it is 2016 and this all has just been one awful nightmare.

Today while canceling my service with Spectrum, the agent asked me (the primary account holder) if I wanted to ask my husband before cancelling the service. Nope. And now you could offer me free service for five years and I wouldn’t want it.

First finished cross stitch for 2025. I would have finished it yesterday…. But I wanted to go to bed. #crossstitch #stabbyarts
