AZ AG Mayes: If I have to, I’ll take Speaker Johnson to court. There's no legitimate reason for him to refuse to swear her in right now. And it's not fair for Mike Johnson to be holding the state of Arizona hostage because he doesn't want to release the Epstein files.

If Ladybird had designed tableware, they’d have made the Homemaker range. I love it.

Hey MAGA: This is fascism.

MAGA Nazis don't know they're Nazis, because they don't even know what fascism is.

Defend democracy on October 18

It's time to stand up for democracy, or we become victims of tyranny.

ICE stormtroopers are kidnapping hundreds of thousands of innocent people.

By the way, what have all those far-right Nazi militias like the Proud Boys, Oathkeepers and Three Percenters been up to lately? 🤔

Portland protests: The truth vs Trump's lies

Orange Hitler wants his brainwashed MAGA minions to think Portland is a war zone, to justify his military invasion.

Nazis always blame their victims.

"Through the first months of Trump's new trade regime it is U.S. companies that are footing the bill for his tariffs, and passing on some of it to the consumer - with more price hikes likely..."

How the United States is eating Trump's tariffs

U.S. companies and consumers are bearing the brunt of the country's new import tariffs, early indications show, contradicting assertions by President Donald Trump and complicating the Federal Reserve's fight against inflation.

"To try to win the support of Senate Democrats, Republicans have suggested they’d promise to *hold a vote* on extending the ACA subsidies after the government reopens, which is very different from actually extending them." — @paulwaldman.bsky.social

Republicans are completely full of it on healthcare

And it becomes more obvious every time they talk about it.

President Trump was just caught on a hot mic talking with the president of Indonesia.

He may have been talking about his business interests in the country–which would be exactly the kind of conflict of interest we’ve been warning about for years. 🧵

Trump's conversation with Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto is caught on a hot mic. Hard to tell exactly what they are talking about, but Subianto asks Trump about meeting Eric Trump and Don Jr, who supposedly have nothing to do with government while they run the family business.

Ivanishvili is the most sophisticated Russian proxy dictatorship.

He said on April 29, 2024, that he was neither Shevardnadze (to step down over popular unrest), nor Yanukovych (to allow himself stupid mistakes that would get him toppled).
