Let me get this straight, Trump is:

💰Asking the government to pay him $230 million
🏰Spending $250 million to build himself a ballroom
🇦🇷Sending $20 billion to Argentina

But, he is refusing to lower your health care costs. Trump is showing you his priorities.

"Extra-judicial killings"

This is the phrase that every Democratic Politician needs to be using.

Our country believes in the idea that people are innocent until proven guilty.

Democrats need to prosecute this case in the media to show how guilty of being unAmerican republicans are.

“Nearly two-thirds of Americans believe the U.S. is headed in the wrong direction, fueled by dissatisfaction with President Trump's impact on the economy, immigration, race relations and the nation's global standing.”

Even 30% of Republicans don’t want this

“2. 🚨 Most Americans say U.S. on wrong track

A split bar chart showing the share of Americans who say things are headed in the wrong direction, from a survey conducted in August and September 2025. Roughly 60% all Americans say aspects of the government and economy are headed in the wrong direction, with about 90% of Democrats and 25% of Republicans in agreement.
Data: PRRI. Chart: Axios Visuals
Nearly two-thirds of Americans believe the U.S. is headed in the wrong direction, fueled by dissatisfaction with President Trump's impact on the economy, immigration, race relations and the nation's global standing, Axios' Russell Contreras writes from a new poll with a big, broad sample.

Even among Republicans, a significant share — nearly 30% — gave Trump low marks on the economy and how the government is functioning.@

I'm honestly not sure that that guy isn't a rat-fucker - a problem across the Democratic Party, imo.

Are you aware we execute innocent people in the US quite regularly?

Here's a story about Anthony Boyd, an innocent black man the state of Alabama intends to murder by gas mask next week.

What can you do? Read this, and check out the thread below for how you can help. 🩷

He Was Convicted Entirely On Clashing Eyewitness Testimony. Alabama Plans to Execute Him Next Week. - Bolts

No physical evidence connected Anthony Boyd to a 1993 murder. He was sent to death row on the word of a co-defendant who testified under the threat of capital punishment.

Why aren't @democrats.org having daily press conferences at the East Wing Destruction Site?

You people do know how representative of the destruction of our country ripping down the East Wing is, don't you?

What *are* you people actually doing?

You simply cannot be a political journalist today if you don't know the deep ins-and-outs of the nonsense conspiracy theories. Because people will just constantly say stuff that is blatantly false and you NEED to be ready to call it out with receipts.

Lankford: "I think now history has proven that Russiagate was a hoax. It was actually formed by James Coney and Brennan and others that were behind the scenes to push a narrative they knew at the time was false." (This is a lie -- would've been nice for Kasie Hunt to point that out.)

Good, and thanks to Amanda Moore, who has been reporting on Ingrassia a long time. So long that any notion that this collapse means Trumpism thinks Ingrassia went too far was absurd; they’ve long known and tried to get him in anyway.

Where exactly are the Democrats on this? There is going to be no better symbolism of Trump's utter vandalism and corruption of American government and democracy.

The White House heard the complaints

Dismissed them as “manufactured outrage”

And kept demolishing the East Wing on Tuesday

The Democrats need to get a hell of a lot of cameras on the White House and plaster the photos everywhere. It's not just the brazen symbol of a megalomaniac destroying national heritage; it's happening during a government shutdown when ordinary people aren't getting paid. Make every American see it.

I'm sorry this is way too far.

The idea that Mike Lee is the arbiter of cool for anything aside from fake beer and strategies for closeted republican men is ridiculous.

If the Supreme Court kills the Voting Rights Act it becomes even more important to start working towards ending the pro slavery practice of House apportionment based on population and not votes. It is largely what made Jim Crow politically viable.
