Washington Warned Us About Trump Our first president valued national unity and feared a despot who would exploit "the ruins of public liberty." A reminder for this Presidents’ Day.

“The disorders & miseries which result [from factionalism] gradually incline the minds of men to seek security & repose in the absolute power of an individual.” A despot will exploit this for “his own elevation on the ruins of public liberty.”

—Washington

We deserve leaders who speak the truth. Happy Presidents’ Day.

AOC: "Extreme level of wealth inequality leads to social instability and drives authoritarianism, right-wing populism, and really dangerous domestic internal politics. That is a direct outcome of the failure of democracies over decades to deliver."

Nobody tell thymine what adenine gets up to in RNA.

Trump nominated a legit white nationalist to a top post at the State Department. I asked him some basic questions about his belief in the “erasure of white culture”. Watch this embarrassing, fumbling answer. Like he has never before been asked to explain his views.

I hope this clears up any confusion about when you can carry a 🔫

A Reuters photographer captured this image of a page from Pam Bondi's "burn book," which she used to counter any questions from Democratic lawmakers during an unhinged hearing today.

It looks like the DOJ monitored members of Congress’s searches of the unredacted Epstein files.

Just wow.

Screenshot of an X post from FactPost quoting Rep. Johnson questioning a proposal to require passports to register to vote, noting that many Americans do not have passports and asking whether the $150 passport fee would be waived to avoid creating an unreasonable poll tax. Below is a CNN screenshot showing a woman speaking remotely, with a banner reading: “DHS FUNDING TALKS AT A STANDSTILL AS DEADLINE APPROACHES.”

Thank you, Julie Johnson, for speaking out against the grotesquely misnamed SAVE act. We need you to keep fighting for us in the House.

Raskin: "I want the whole country to look at this. This is the attorney general of the US whose job is law enforcement. We've never had a witness who has misunderstood our rules and been unable to conform his or her conduct to our rules before. Excuse me."

Mamdani: "I speak of Renee Good, whose final words to the man who murdered her were, 'I'm not mad at you.' I speak of Alex Pretti who died as he lived, caring for the stranger. ICE shot him bc he did something they could never fathom ... let us offer a new path: one of defiance through compassion."

AHHHHHHH!

I really love that we're at the cultural point wher the sewage treatment plant gets to make jokes about the media ecosystem.

(Also I kinda love this video - water infrastructure is awesome!)

That rendition gets me every time. Calming and uplifting.
Base and balls 🤘

OBAMA: “People make excuses for him. They say he’s not serious. Everything a president says is serious!”🔥

Cats are so amazing!

When money and power protect abusers instead of victims, the system itself is broken. Trump didn’t invent that reality — he took advantage of it. And until the system changes, accountability will remain optional for the powerful.

Literally nauseating

Hilarious

Outside in the evening. An office building with video and the words "Palantir Powers Fascism" projected at top. Below, a crowd of people with signs and candles memorializing people who have died at the hands of ICE.

Happening now in Silicon Valley: marchers have surrounded the Palantir building and are holding a prayer vigil for victims of ICE, while video of ICE and Palantir crimes is projected on the building. #AbolishICE #ICEOut #Palantir #PaloAlto

Tonight at 8:30 PM our constituent Ricky was pepper sprayed by ICE on 18th & Polk. 2 agents parked their car, got out and approached observers, started pepper spraying Ricky on public property, and then drove away and left.

Nothing is changing on the ground in Minnesota. ICE must be abolished.
