Vote 💙 2026. Yooper. Love 🐱 🐕 and some humans. I swear liberally. No DMs unless you know me. Didn’t expect to be a grandma protesting my government. Then again, didn’t think my fellow countrymen dumb enough to vote for the dipshit again. My mistake.

When people show you who they are, believe them.

And of course JD Vance refused to condemn this.

Ghislane Maxwell had a secret visit in the prison chapel of Club Fed while the rest of the facility was locked down and her visitors were brought in a back entrance to shield them from view per CNN reporting.

Could a pardon be far off??

Elections aren’t every 4 years or every 2 years, they’re every year. In California we have a special election for prop 50 and it’s a YES. If Texas can gerrymander then we should be able to. I know my comments will be filled with bots, but I won’t be intimidated. Our democracy is vanishing❤️

Which “Democrat programs” is Trump going to close?

Social Security? Medicare? FDIC? The G.I. Bill?

And which “Republican programs” will he keep?

Tax cuts for the wealthiest?

I remember when Joe Biden traveled to 8 cities for 14 appearances in 9 days after the June debate and then did a 90 minute UN brief but the media still relentlessly hounded him. Where's that media? At a Jake Tapper book talk?

If anyone wonders why we call them wannabe authoritarians, here you go.

They’re now shitting on the Bill of Rights.

“Policy says reporters cannot obtain or solicit any information the Defense Department does not explicitly authorize. Any media who does not sign by 5 p.m. Tuesday has 24 hours to turn in their media credentials and clear out.”

Absolute fucking abomination.

News outlets broadly reject Pentagon rules before deadline for signing

The Washington Post and other major news outlets have refused to sign the Defense Department’s restrictive new media policy, citing First Amendment concerns.

It will drive Hegseth crazy if he doesn’t get press coverage because he, like Trump, craves the attention.

If Tom Homan was getting $50,000 per bribe before he became the Border Czar, imagine what he’s getting now that he is in office.

Senate is back in session today.

1/ So a quick 🧵on where things are at on the shutdown.

You get a lot of propaganda and spin thrown at you, so I want to give you the real, behind-the-scenes tea.
