Way to go, Green Bay, WI! Amazing turnout! 💚

He said he was going to make things cheaper and now he’s saying “I couldn’t care less if they raise prices.”

Donold Tramp obsession to give Russia all it wants to achieve a ceasefire will enable Russia to prepare an attack on the Baltic states.

We need to get to that meta place where we can see the entire landscape and manage each bit of crazy as a tiny part of the whole gestalt.

@democrats.senate.gov a lot of us are asking this question

@housedemocrats.bsky.social
A lot of us are asking this question

Elon has expanded his definition of terrorism to include anyone who makes fun of him or Tesla, do I have that right?

Secretary Hegseth must resign. He lied.

Now, we have new reporting about Hegseth’s wife. If the White House doesn't provide more facts, then this raises all sorts of red flags.

Wow. Does she really believe that or is she trying to convince others? Has she heard of haveus corpus? Does she know it’s one of the tenets the US was founded on?

Indiana Rep Spartz (R): “You violated the law, you are not entitled to due process.”

Dangerously ignorant. 🇺🇸

Influencer Paid by Russia Added to White House Press Pool Tim Pool was one of several conservative social media stars who says he was duped into taking Russian money during the election.

UPDATE: “Tim Pool, A right-wing influencer who was paid hundreds of thousands of dollars to spread Russian propaganda during the 2024 presidential election has been added to the White House press pool.”

Weird how stuff like this keeps happening.🤷🏼‍♂️

Wow 🇺🇸👀

I think liar is the nicest name he could be called, honestly.

A Russian woman lost her son in the war in Ukraine, so she decided to kidnap a Ukrainian child as a replacement.

International criminal Putin listens to the story with a smile on his face.

Sick. 🤢

#ukraine #russia

@newsweek.com should be ashamed of themselves for this victim blaming and for normalizing the abhorrent behavior of this administration
