Greene’s resignation letter casts her as a martyr to “elites,” but it reads like a confession wrapped in denial. She laments a broken Washington she helped shatter, fleeing the chaos she fueled. Her exit is the epitaph of a movement that mistook rage for governance.

The MAGA crackdown after Charlie Kirk’s assassination is a grotesque inversion of “cancel culture,” weaponizing state power, doxxing mobs & employer fear to punish more than 600 Americans—even those who condemned violence. This is #AuthoritarianismInPlainSight.

Aladeen's critique of the West—from rigging elections to corporate control—was satire, but the joke feels too close to reality under late-stage capitalism.
If a fictional dictator can spot the flaws in our democracy, maybe it's time to fix them. 🤔

Democrats aren’t agreeing on much—but they are uniting around one truth: Chuck Schumer’s leadership is collapsing under its own weight. Both moderates & progressives want him gone, and polling shows he’d be crushed by AOC. The gerontocracy is cracking. #SchumerExodus

The Roberts Court didn’t merely err—it detonated a constitutional crisis. By placing Trump above the law, the conservative majority handed a convicted felon the power to weaponize pardons, persecutions, and state authority against democracy itself. #CourtOfShame

The shutdown ended, but the “One Big Beautiful Bill” slams the poorest: SNAP cuts, work rules to age 65, lost exemptions for parents, veterans, and the homeless. A $186B hit to food aid—call it “reform” if you like, but this is austerity as structural cruelty.

Senate GOP in chaos—fighting each other while Americans brace for brutal premium hikes they created. Even GOP admits millions will be crushed if subsidies vanish, yet extremists prefer to torch the ACA again than admit their decade-long war on health care has failed.

America’s longest shutdown may finally end—but not because Congress grew a conscience. Mike Johnson’s razor-thin GOP majority is clinging to chaos, while Democrats fracture over saving the ACA subsidies that keep millions insured. Governance has become hostage-taking. #GOPShutdown #ACA

While Senate Democrats folded like paper dolls, Gavin Newsom turned fury into fuel—torching Trump’s shutdown circus, crushing GOP gerrymanders, and reminding America what leadership looks like. The contrast is radioactive: courage versus cowardice. #RealLeadership

Trump’s fantasy of $2K “tariff dividends” unravels under the weight of math, law and hypocrisy. He’s selling economic snake oil—taxing Americans through tariffs, then pretending to refund their pain with their own money. The con is patriotic theater for the desperate.

8 Democrats handed Trump a lifeline—and millions of Americans a bill they can’t pay. To call this “compromise” is to dignify surrender. Every furloughed worker, every child losing food assistance, every family priced out of health care will remember who blinked. #StandWithThePeople
