He would rather shut down our government than have you see the truth. It's not complicated.

It’s the Republican administration and Congress you’re speaking of, not every day Americans. Everyday Americans are fighting back on many different fronts to this authoritarian powergrab. I understand why you’d want to escape it though. It is a dumpster fire right now.

I don't think I've seen a network TV news report more transparently full of shit since maybe 2003, right before we invaded Iraq

If men with guns and masks tried to pull me out of my car, I'd fight back. Courts should reject any claims by the government that this is aggression by the person being detained, resisting arrest, or that they're a flight risk.

How many more signs do we need before we acknowledge that this Republican caucus is infiltrated with Nazi sympathizers?

The Speaker of the House thinks a naked bike ride is terrorism.

This is a sentence I never thought I’d write when I got a degree in professional writing for journalism.

We’re at the point where the Republican Party could just as easily be wearing Nazi pins as they do American flag pins today.

This is where we are at now:

“ICE agents surrounded, seized, and zip-tied a U.S. citizen who had just finished working a double shift because she didn’t “look” American to them. She had her U.S. passport on her when she was detained, yet she was interrogated for an hour.”

Trump is using taxpayer dollars to fund propaganda about himself, spending your money on the most expensive political ad of the year while billionaires get tax cuts and working families lose their healthcare.

This is your money and your life they’re messing with.

U.S. government pays for 2025's most expensive political ad campaign

The next closest ad campaign is the $41 million effort to support California's redistricting measure.

Funny how a party who cries foul when they’re compared to Hitler, seems to keep repeatedly showing up at Nazi intersections

Elon
Proud Boys
Unite the Right
Madison Square Garden
Convention
Young Republicans

It’s like there’s a theme or something

This Republican admin said it knew nothing about Elon being a Nazi either …
