As a white woman born in America,a lifelong Democrat strongly opposed to Trump, the current GOP Party and fascist policies they are forcing on America while dismantling every American institution,I’m trying to decide which category I fall in. Is it Hamas terrorist, illegal alien or violent criminal?

I’m old enough to remember when we had a system of checks & balances that involved Congress, when Congress controlled the purse and legislated, and the president respected the Constitution & rule of law. I’m old enough to remember when a U.S. president wouldn’t want to be King George or a dictator.

Imagine lying as easily as @RepTimBurchett does. Nobody is paying the millions of people who will be out there.

Wanting better for your country isn’t hating it, Tim. Quite the opposite. It’s real patriotism. 🇺🇸

Throwing out the constitution to cling to power is the real hating your country.

When Trump says he’s cutting “democratic programs”, he’s referring to the ACA, SNAP, Medicare, Medicaid, social security…

His pitch to the base is, “I’m taking things you depend on because they were championed by people you don’t like…and giving you nothing from the people you do like.”

Winning.

UPDATE: Remember how we told you @GovBillLee was lying about all the arrests in MEMPHIS being “violent crimes”

@fox13memphis checked. We were right. “VAST MAJORITY non-violent”. Bill was lying 👇🏽

(Now do those “45 missing kids” they rescued 🤔)

Well, Senator Thune, if you don’t trust the judgment of the HHS Secretary, why should the rest of us have to put up with him?

…or horrified by the blatant capitulation of mainstream media, law firms, corporations & academic institutions

…or simply fed up with the constant gaslighting, the daily assault on rule of law, the revision of our values & history

This is your fight.

See you at #NoKings this Saturday.

I am sounding the alarm that the GOP is engaged in an all out attack voting rights and free and fair elections. Voter suppression, gerrymandering, and troops in blue cities are just some of the ways they are using to try to rig the rules to keep power in 2026 and beyond.

Pay attention and act!

“Do you condemn the group chat?”
“We can talk about it.” 🤔

TP USA spokesman wouldn’t immediately condemn the horrific Young Republican texts when challenged to by @adammockler.com — after Mockler summarized some of how Trump has been setting the stage for violence for a decade.

Vance on public outrage over the "I love Hitler" group chat: "Grow up! Focus on the real issues. Don't focus on what kids say in group chats... The reality is that kids do stupid things, especially young boys — they tell edgy, offensive jokes. That's what kids do."
