I’ve never known many politicians to “step down to make way” because they are all high on power. Biden screwed the Dems because he didn’t step down when he should have. RBG as well and I adored her.

Great! Another Dem who is two years older than God! She’s been a great governor. Let a younger person run please.

The US Constitution has no innate defense against lying by public officials and complete shamelessness.

Nicholas Grossman @nicholasgrossman.bsky.social · 2d

No institutional design can overcome a lawbreaking president, a Congress defending lawbreaking and forfeiting its own power, a Supreme Court that pretends legal text doesn’t count to facilitate lawbreaking, and a citizenry that votes for all that.
Need at least one that wants rule of law. Maybe two.

ICE tactics in Chicago are escalating.

Crashing into a woman’s car so they can grab her is unconscionable!

Instead of running from trans rights @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social leans into fighting for ALL New Yorkers.

He understands a good campaign tells the story of the place he’s running to represent— and the people in it.

This senile liar who currently occupies the White House does not remember that he was President on January 6th.

If you voted for this senile liar, and if you enable him today, you clearly are ok with breaking America. The ruins of our once great nation are because of you.

Schatz: They’re stopping wind and solar because this guy has some very strange ideas about the energy mix. And it’s consistent with the rest of his political and economic philosophy — if there’s less of everything, it gives him more authority to dole out favors

"A future president, even dumber than you, will allow Qatar, the country that harbored Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the architect of the plane attacks in NY, PA, and DC today, and whose royal family will help him escape capture by the US, to build a military base on US soil to train Qataris to fly jets."

George was just trying to get to work.

ICE pepper-sprayed him, dragged him from his car, locked him in a detention center, and placed him on suicide watch. He even missed his young daughter’s birthday in the process.

This man is a veteran and American citizen. Don't look away.

Trump would rather burn down the country than release the Epstein Files.

Over 80% of voters want it released.

Release the Epstein Files.

Circuit Court Judge Diane Goodstein blocked the handover of SC voter records to the DOJ.

Today, her house burned down. Three people were hospitalized. One was airlifted.

Reports say she’d been receiving death threats in recent weeks.

The incident is under investigation.👇
