Who among us could have predicted that Donald Trump would make damaging and ill-considered decisions? www.nytimes.com/2025/04/08/b...

Your tips are still getting taxed.
Your overtime is still getting taxed.
Your Social Security is still getting taxed.

Trump and Republicans have changed NOTHING — NONE of those changes were in the resolution they passed.

Don’t let them lie to you.

In future generations, when your children and grandchildren look back on this moment, they are not going to ask about the price of eggs. They are going to ask you what you did. Not what you felt. Not what you paid. But what you did. And I want to be able to say I did everything I possibly could.

I'd like the congratulate the Canadian hockey team on their victory last night over the team fielded by Russia's vassal.

Remember when America had friends?

Like a month ago?

Biden capped insulin at $35/mo -- Republicans are now undoing it

Biden capped inhaler at $35/mo -- Republicans are now undoing it

Biden stopped banks from hurting you with overdraft fees -- Republicans are now undoing it

Trump, Musk, and the GOP are RAISING your costs

Money talks

Don’t buy stuff on February 28. Money’s the only thing these dicks understand.

Gotta love it when the US Secretary of Defense mouths Russian propaganda about the US Navy.

Hegseth's talking points were literally the kind of thing Russian state media spouts every day.

Disgusting, shameful, and un-American.

Our military deserves so much better.

One of our supporters shared this with us—people are getting creative tonight!

🧵 If you’re applauding the abolishment of the Department of Education, you need to do a little research. You have ZERO clue what the DOE actually does.

Here’s a reality check on what the Department of Education actually does:

The part of George Orwell’s 1984 that everyone forgets is how the music and publishing industries have been replaced by a machine that spits out songs and bad novels “without any human intervention.” The goal is to keep you from ever having to think.

Please, everyone, drop what you’re doing and read this:

The Logic of Destruction And how to resist it

If the FAA director got fired over a business beef AND there was an air traffic controller hiring freeze despite huge shortages AND a chaotic blitz to hollow out federal bureaucracy, and then within a week the first American airliner crashes in 16 years, you would be insane not to talk about it all.

To our faithful public servants across America:

HOLD THE LINE -- do NOT resign.

Stay in your job, keep reporting for duty, and make them fire you.

Because they CAN'T fire you - it's ILLEGAL - and we will stop them in the courts.

WE'VE GOT YOUR BACK.

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent.

Opportunities are everywhere.

Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

Do you know what they called Germans in the 1930s who didn't really love Hitler deep in their hearts, but went along with Nazi stuff, and did things like Nazi salutes, because they enjoyed how it upset groups the Nazis targeted and other non-Nazis?

Nazis. They called people who did that Nazis.

To see me is to know I'm not Vogue's target audience, especially Teen Vogue, but damn it's great to see them doing it again.
