It's not often I can say MTG is right. Still hate her politics but she IS on the correct side of this. Credit where it's due.

I urge our nation to use this weekend's No Kings marches as a declaration of independence against the tyranny and lawlessness currently running this country.

Use your voice. ACT PEACEFULLY. Protect yourself and your community.

THERE ARE NO KINGS IN THE UNITED STATES.

More than just science, @governor.ca.gov . Healing people must be first. I have first hand experience of this system failing on an astronomical scale.

People before profits. Healing before dividends. The richest country in history can find a way to afford it.

Governor Gavin Newsom @governor.ca.gov · 1d

The American people deserve a public health system that puts science before politics.

That's why California and 14 other governors are joining forces to launch the Governors Public Health Alliance to protect communities and guarantee decisions are rooted in data and health.

We are at an inflection point.

Citizens are being kidnapped.
Free speech is being stolen from us.
Money is being funneled to the top.
Healthcare is being decimated.
Prices are not going down.
Ukrainians continue to die needlessly.
We are ruining alliances.

The United States is not okay.

JD Vance says the “I LOVE HITLER” Republican leaks are no big deal because it’s “kids in chat rooms.” In reality these are young Republican leaders likely to gain more power in a hypothetical future Vance administration. Terrifying stuff.

When you realize the people you fired to avoid any investigation of your crimes are the same people you need to investigate other crimes…

This is one of the most important topics being overshadowed by the chaos. Blue states must fight back, take the house, and eliminate partisan gerrymandering for all.

This. Be the change you want to see. I will not miss Kirk, but I am deeply sad for two children who lost their father, and a wife who lost her husband.

Nobody should be assassinated for words, no matter how much hate they have bred.

Hannah Arendt said 'The death of human empathy is one of the earliest & most telling signs of a culture about to fall into barbarism'

We saw the recent cruelty of MAGA denying empathy to Melissa Hortman

Empathy for Kirk—not because he ever acted like a decent human—but because we are decent humans

While I agree with almost nothing MTG says, I appreciate seeing anybody on the right standing up to the regime.

True, but it hasn’t fallen out of the media yet! Nor should it.

It's happened. Please be safe American's abroad, Iran will retaliate somehow. While there's debate over the best course of action to deal with Iran, what's NOT okay is unilateral decision making. We are an authoritarian regime now. Leaders on the Left are MIA in this.. no response. Weak.

Don't let them give Trump credit. On the other hand, they can call Fox News, Fake news too.

Army recruiting is up, but data show trend began before the election, former Army official says

Politicians have attributed an increase in Army recruitment numbers to the so-called "Trump effect," but data shows that enlistments began to uptick before the 2024 presidential election.

We cannot forget that the Unites States federal government is making people disappear, without due process. No crime, no sentence. Just treating humans like cattle they own. Will any of these people ever be free? When?

Just a few stats of why Canada does not want to join the US. I might add lower infant mortality, higher life expectancy, better standard of living, increased happiness and satisfaction.

I wonder if MAGA is tired of winning yet. Probably not until we're all indentured to the rich.

I am convinced the president just wants to burn it all down, leave as much cash for his family, and his billionaire friends. Does he not realize that Canada as a 51st state would be disproportionately left wing? His party would never win again. Then again, he doesn't plan to leave. #politics
