Obama: I believe in an America where we don't fear each other. But look out for each other. And if we want that story to continue. If we believe in that better story. We need leaders who believe in it too.
LOL! I mean, can you not look at her and recognize the things that "horrify" her??
Horrified! Horrified, I say! Good heavens.

Pritzker: "Imagine it. Children who woke up that morning, expectant with joy & excitement to put on their costumes & celebrate with their neighbors in what they thought was a safe place at their homes. Armed, masked agents, terrorizing innocent people, especially children, is unconscionable."

@governorwalz.mn.gov is right: This shutdown is owned by Republicans. They're enabling an "authoritarian president" and focusing on nonsense like "a damn ballroom" while people are "gonna be lined up out here to get food", including vets and military families.

Don't lose the plot.

Enten: "Canada is far more popular than Donald Trump is here in the United States. The net popularity of Canada is +49. Trump is -10. We're talking about Canada coming out nearly 60 points ahead on the net popularity ratings versus Donald Trump here in the US"
He hates when somebody else grabs the headlines.

If Mamdani is elected mayor of New York he’ll get a meet and greet with Donald Trump. Based on this performance alone, having that encounter happen may be beneficial for society.
New York Mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani bodied Andrew Cuomo on live television.

According to Cuomo the sexual harassment and rape of women is not a serious or mature topic.

Big news out of Indiana today as Republican legislators surprise everyone by saying no to Donald Trump.

Each crack in Trump’s facade of inevitability will lead to more. Let’s keep it up!
If he hadn't gilded it all out, I'd say his intent is to tear it all down and build his own palace.

Historic deal has begun for Europe, Sweden and Ukraine have signed a letter of intent to buy 100-150 JAS 39 Gripen E jets for the Ukrainian Air Force.

Once the funds and delivery structure is established the deal can be brought to fruition. This will help Europe wean from US registries and ware.
Shocking to me that in this moment of government shutdown, this kind of messaging is considered A-O-K by MAGA Republicans. In a moment of prosperity or even a stable economy - give it a maybe. The dissonance is very pronounced.

Buttigieg: This is about political revenge. The president has been very clear about that. And the really dangerous thing is the revenge is on you—on ordinary Americans and commuters who depend on these tunnels.
I'd bet you're right. I think Pete has been off of the Trump radar for a few weeks and it's time to rotate in a new boogey man.
If this were true, they'd be buying billboards to make sure everybody saw them.
Read the whole thread. This is important.
ICE is stockpiling weapons. It’s disappeared 170+ citizens. It’s gassed cops, arrested vets and shot priests in the head. It’s the personal army of a rogue POTUS—a fascist ex-con and rapist—and it’s masked, armed, nameless, faceless and insignia-less. It’s intended use is exactly what we fear it is.

Wow! We're supposed to applaud them for doing their damn jobs? Or at least PART of their jobs?
