2 Mentally-ill men will kill us all!!
My daughter received the memo yesterday asking her to resign or accept a buyout.
Stupidity can kill – and this admin is nothing but stupid.
She is an audiologist in Chinle, AZ. That makes her a "government employee."

This is one of my Senators. He is exactly right!!
A gunman tried to silence my wife in an extreme act of political violence.
Now, Trump has called for my execution because he didn’t like what I had to say.
Gabby and I know, when others try to silence you, you must keep speaking out — and that’s exactly what we’re going to do.

Yep - when POTUS says he wants to kill people, believe him. Oliver is right - Congress people who don't push back against these words don't deserve their jobs.
if youre a congressional leader and you wont publicly criticize trump out of fear, please step down and give your seat to someone who will do it. because this is the job. this is the fucking job.

I'd ask Mike Johnson what he plans to do about Trump threatening to execute Democrats, but he'd probably say he "didn't see it."

A lot of people have seen the epstein files. Since it is the will of we, the people to release, now is a great time to leak a tsunami of info if you have it. LFG.

POTUS saying the Dems should be executed is not an OK thing for him to say. He just hosted "Mr. Bone Saw" in the Oval office. The GOP should push back 1000% - but they won't. Which is one reason they should be obliterated in the midterms. Counting the days...

Hey @harvard.edu – You must fire Larry Summers. Now. To keep him in any capacity is to endorse his behavior and Epstein's crimes.

Today we won a big victory in Texas but the fight for democracy is not over. We all need to steel ourselves for the battles ahead. We won't win them all, but we can never lose sight of what we need to do to prepare fee and fair elections.

SNAP is a lifeline for workers in low-wage jobs.
Meanwhile, CEOs are paid 280x as much as the typical worker.
Don’t be angry at workers for using food stamps.
Be angry at the corporations paying them so little that they need them.

1,000 victims of sexual exploitation. Can you even imagine the pain these girls, now women, endured?
All because they were taken advantage of by self-centered, wealthy men who cared more about satisfying their own sick“desires” than the life of the girl in front of them. It’s time 4 accountability

Release the Epstein files in full. I believe the awfulness of what is in there needs to be understood by everyone. Women who hurt other women - looking at you Ghislaine - deserve a special circle in hell. And men who took advantage of young girls need to be re-introduced to a feeling of utter shame.

Remember: The richest 1% evade over $160 billion in taxes every year.
That amount would fund SNAP for a year with money to spare.
Ask yourself who the real freeloaders are.

Adam Kinzinger is right!! This is a moral choice.
New Epstein emails are out. This isn’t politics—it’s a moral test. You either stand against predators, or you defend them because they hate who you hate. There’s no middle ground left.
