Not only did @pettersen.house.gov roll Mike Johnson all over the floor of the House causing the entire GOP agenda to crash for the rest of the week; but then Trump backed the truck up over him by endorsing the discharge petition for proxy voting lmaooo

Burn it all to the ground and buy up the land and water and minerals at rock bottom prices.

This a fire sale for the oligarchy.

A Black man just beat the record for the longest filibuster, defeating the record previously held by a man who filibustered the literal Civil Rights Act.

As the time ticked over, Cory Booker announced he did it not out of hatred for who he opposed, but out of love for those who supported him.

DOGE is reportedly threatening NOAA with massive staff and budget cuts.

NOAA houses the National Weather Service and National Hurricane Center, which produce forecasts and warn people about storms.

This attack on public safety is ripped straight from the pages of Project 2025.

He made a Nazi salute. Then to be sure he made a second Nazi salute.

And ADL of all orgs calls it “an awkward gesture” and whitewashes it.

Incredible. Absolutely incredible.

3 things about this message that greeted millions of Americans on TikTok today:

1) the shamelessness of Trump who just U-turned on his opposition to TikTok.
2) the shamelessness of these tech companies, sucking up to Trump.
3) the fecklessness of Biden who gave Trump this win.

No matter where you fall on the TikTok ban, the President undoing by “executive order” a law passed by Congress and upheld unanimously by the Supreme Court is an unconstitutional abuse of power.

I became famous in 2020 criticizing Trump for his potential Tik Tok ban.

It’s 2025 and everyone is looking to Trump and his incoming corporate oligarchy to save the same app.

Nothing makes sense anymore.
