Thou shalt not call yourself “the law and order party” when your leader is a convicted felon who constantly pardons criminals in exchange for millions of dollars in bribes.

Booker: Do you think we got the right to vote for women because a bunch of men on the House floor got together and said “on the count of three, women get the right to vote..” That’s not how it happened… Change doesn’t come from Washington. It comes to Washington.

We have NOT made a deal with the WH as of yet. We have made a concept of a sub deal to a deal. A covfefe if you will.
RADDATZ: Trump said he's made 200 deals on tariffs. 200 deals? Who has he made deals with? Is there actually any deal at this point?
BESSENT: I believe that he is referring to subdeals within the negotiations we are doing

Hey you know how people made the Tesla brand radioactively toxic and crashed its entire corporate structure?
You can do that with authoritarian brutality and with neoliberal oppression and exploitation.
You chase these motherfuckers from society until all that’s left is something real and better.

I like to dye my hair vibrant colors so people can look at me and know I didn’t vote for America to be Trump’s 7th bankruptcy.

At this point, I think we would have been better off with an economic policy chosen at random than this. At least then there would be the potential for a positive outcome every now and again.

We tried mass tariffs in 1828, and it crashed the economy. We tried again in 1930, and it crashed the economy.
Third time’s the charm, I guess.

Maybe if the U.S. had universal healthcare, we wouldn’t all be stuck footing the bill for Trump’s mental health crisis by way of tariffs.

If you were a halfway decent human being and you knew an innocent man was rotting in foreign prison—likely suffering nightmarish conditions—because your administration screwed up and send him there, you’d do something about it immediately instead of shitposting lies all day.

I am so proud to witness this history-making moment as @booker.senate.gov crosses the 24-hour threshold in the name of Americans from both sides of the aisle. Thank you, Senator, for being the voice of so many. Thank you for standing up for the people.

Either Tulsi Gabbard just lied under oath or the U.S. Director of National Intelligence doesn’t know what constitutes as “classified information.” Both options are troublingly believable for this joke of an administration.

An incompetent and uniformed Trump responds to the Signal group chat incident: "I don't know anything about it. I'm not a big fan of The Atlantic. It's a magazine that's going out of business. But I know nothing about it. You're saying that they had what?"
