The future of the GOP is Nazi. People still aren't paying attention.

Venezuela is now playing the Washington Nationals.

Nothing symbolic here. Just a game.

And now here we are.. Trump starts a war without congressional approval or approval from the majority of Americans, but now we have to pay the full bill for whatever he decides he wants to do because it would be unpatriotic not to let Trump do whatever he wants with our money.

This is what @MarshaBlackburn thinks Iranians should be grateful for — as @SenatorHagerty just joined her to vote for Trump and Bibi’s war.

Ah a stolen valor guy. Yeah that fits.

“Sheehy’s military colleagues reportedly do not recall him mentioning a gunshot wound or seeing such an injury at the time of his active service.”

AOC: If people like Kristi Noem, Kash Patel, and Pam Bondi violate the law, there are supposed to be consequences. These are people who call themselves law enforcement officers. The message they’re sending is that they can cover up for pedophiles and street executions. That cannot be acceptable.

As expected the far right is not actually against war if they’re allowed to brutalize brown people at home.

RELEASE ALL OF THE EPSTEIN FILES.

May God bring swift justice down upon the Americans responsible for these senseless killings. God is merciful, yes, but also just. And may God have mercy on we who are complicit in this satanic violence—against our will—by, well, being taxpaying American citizens.

Americans are exhausted by endless wars built on lies and paid for with American and foreign lives.

I'm urging my colleagues to vote YES on the War Powers Resolution authored by Khanna-Massie and stop Trump's illegal war in Iran.

War is NOT a game. The Trump administration treats it as if it is, which erases the humanity of ALL who are killed, including US service members.

As Trump’s strong-arm tactics to gerrymander Texas showed, voting maps in the Longhorn State are controlled by Republicans

The confusion regarding maps here mainly affects areas that support Jasmine Crockett

Now-is this merely the GOP’s racism or are they that scared of her

The answer is “yes”

Polis should be impeached if he does this. This would be little different than granting clemency to a January 6 insurrectionist

They literally spent the past 4-plus years blasting Biden over the withdrawal from Afghanistan and how "rushed" it was.

I mean — even the U.S. military recruitment campaigns are admitting that they've lost their moral compass. Look at this poor fellow...

These motherfuckers deliberately target schools for violence HERE. I sure as shit believe they targeted schools elsewhere too.

Q: "Do you think Trump should be deposed by this committee?"

HILLARY: "Absolutely. Trump has been held civilly liable for sexual assault by a jury of his peers. That is behavior that fits a pattern."

Every day this week I've received texts and phone calls from Texas Republican political campaigns — almost hourly! I live in Seattle. I have no connection to Texas. But my impression is that they must be frantic and desperate. This behavior only increases my desire to see them fail. Flip Texas!

If you’re an American service member who gets killed in a retaliatory strike, your family can take comfort in the fact that it was done in service of making the host of Celebrity Apprentice feel like a big man for a minute, before he moved on to something else and forgets about this forever

The FBI being on high alert for terrorist actions is important right now.

Too bad they fired and gutted their counterterrorism capacity

Charlie Kirk dropped out of an Illinois community college after one semester. He later advised Gen Z that today's higher ed probably isn't worth it. A perfect icon for this regime's attitude toward becoming educated
