Is that in the Constitution - no other person other than the Speaker can do this?

Why aren't Democrats working to bypass Mike Johnson's role in this? Why not use a judge to swear her in, forcing Johnson to be reactive?

Fort Collins, CO showed up! I'm too short to get good crowd size photos, but here's what I have. 😊 #nokings

Thank you! I'm of the mindset that there is no 2028 unless we take real action today. Those who are focused on politics as usual are as useful as the musicians playing their instruments while the Titanic sinks.

I love this. He reminds me of my uncle, who hand builds violins and is also an incredible musician and photographer (it wouldn't surprise me if he had other artistic hobbies I don’t know about). Everything he does is so beautiful and balanced. Renaissance men are pure magic.

I love Taylor, but her handwriting reminds me how old my eyes are! Zooming in just makes it fuzzy. 🤣

Why does Pence still get this much airtime? Is anyone actually listening to him? He brings nothing new to the table.

Tiktok has helped me understand my dog's specific breed quirks too. I had no idea Australian Shepherds liked to do trust falls, but it's definitely a thing. 😂

Those social media accounts are introducing policy, manipulating the markets, and intimidating judges. If he's not running his circus, we need to know which clown is.

Wow! Everything here is beautiful, but I can't get passed how stunning this shade of red is on him. He should wear this color all the time.

AP Breaking News notification: "The Trump administration says it will pay immigrants living illegally in the United States $1,000 to leave the country."

I see we've already reached the Wile E. Coyote trap phase of our immigration policy.

Kidnapping.

Capturing a person against their will without due process is called kidnapping.

Transporting them to another country without due process is called human trafficking.

A squalid extrajudicial prison for people found guilty of no crime is called a concentration camp.

@PawlowskiMario tweeted:

BREAKING America, one Signal message at the time.

This one incident exposes the core truth—
MAGA isn't playing 4D chess.
They're not masterminds.
They're amateur clowns with nukes.

They accidentally added a journalist to a top-secret war ops chat.
Let that land: the Defense Secretary of the United States sent classified strike plans over a fucking group chat.
Not military-grade encryption. Not secure DoD channels.
Fucking Signal.

And the MAGA cult? Still pretending they're the strategic masterminds running some shadow war.
No.
They're shallow, stupid, paranoid idiots who only look powerful because of chaos and fear.

I can’t put this insanity into words any better than @mariopawlowski.bsky.social did here…

Tonight an unbelievable **34,000 people** gathered for our Denver rally to take on billionaires and win our country back.

This was the largest political gathering in Denver since Obama in 2008.

Also bigger than the 2024 DNC.

And the largest ever rally in Bernie’s career (and obviously, mine too).

If the CEO can disrupt the lives of millions, then it's time for the millions to disrupt the lives of his Board of Directors. My inner Karen demands to speak to the manager. 😂

Lists like this reminds me that we only have the illusion of consumer choice. I'm all for boycotting Nestlé, but maybe we can also start the conversation on whether parent companies should be able to hide behind this many brands.

We're past the point of sympathy. We're in this shitstorm because of those who were duped and those who didn't care. The only thing that matters now is what those groups are willing to do to aid the resistance.

The Democratic Party is not going to suddenly morph into the resistance. Most of them don't have what it takes to lead us through fascism, so let's circle our wagons around those who do. Otherwise, we're going to waste precious time waiting for future elections that aren't guaranteed.

It's a mistake to assume the Democratic Party would become the resistance in the face of fascism. We have fighters within the party, but the party we need doesn't seem to exist (yet). The faster we accept this, the faster we can focus on how we meet the current moment.
