American public opinion is largely generated by foreigners who make money by lying to Americans over unregulated social media. Out of respect to those entrepreneurial foreigners, we will continue to treat their commodified fictions as one side of a reasoned American debate.

So stop being a coward and announce you will caucus with Dems until this siege administration is over. Petulant baby whining does nothing.
NEW: Rep. Don Bacon tells @axios.com he was “so angry” last week about the Trump admin’s proposed Russia-Ukraine peace deal that he considered resigning in protest.
He ultimately decided against it, he says, but not before giving Mike Johnson an earful. www.axios.com/2025/11/25/d...

absolutely incredible -- CNN host introduces a segment about Trump's "new healthcare proposal," but less than two minutes later breaks into her script to announce "breaking news" that Trump's healthcare proposal is being postponed

If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?

Child sex abuse appears pretty rampant in GOP circles nowadays. It's really time Americans rally around this issue and cleaned house. Several years ago GOP was floating rampant accusations about child abuse in pizza places; turns out they are the ones actually doing it & being caught.

Impeachment isn’t an option, it’s a necessity. I know firsthand the lengths Trump is willing to go in order to silence dissent.

Oddly enough, in media coverage of Dems' video warning against carrying out illegal orders, there's very little discussion of *whether it's actually reasonable to fear Trump is giving illegal commands or not.*
The evidence is strong that he is. Media should say so:

(📢) What Trump did today was not a SHOULD impeach, it was a MUST impeach.
He said anyone who challenges his authority—an authority he doesn’t have—to give illegal orders to the military must be executed.
That is a prima facie case for impeachment.
Articles should be drawn up.

We should be running these crime stories non stop and screaming about it like we heard from conservatives about every shoplifting immigrant for the last 10 years. I know it’s not how we think, but it IS the way THEY think and they should get the blame for causing crime that they have earned.
“A New Jersey fraudster who was pardoned by President Trump in 2021 was sentenced to 37 years in prison this month for running a $44 million Ponzi scheme, one of a growing number of people granted clemency by Mr. Trump only to be charged with new crimes.” www.nytimes.com/2025/11/20/n...

Absolutely, and.. Need to clarify- esp to our leadership that if we are expected to go along, defectors should JOIN US. We must not NOT change our coalition goal for them, nor any change to OUR coalition. Our leaders mustn’t capitulate any of our goals and ethics for each defector’s lone vote.
THREAD: One reason I haven't complained about Democrats this year is the simple math that 218 House Votes & 67 Senate Votes are required for impeachment.
There is no way Democrats, ALONE can save us. Less still if we actively erode them.
What we actually need is Republicans to defect. 🧵
