It’s hard to put my finger on THE single most important thing, but a short list:

- reach out to all of our allies and apologize
- get rid of these stupid fucking tariffs
- send ICE back to the border where they belong and work towards cutting all this extra funding
- destroy all the tacky gold shit

Facebook launched 22 years ago this week.

In 2025, Meta paid an effective federal tax rate of 3.5% — its lowest on record.

Meanwhile, Meta is pumping at least $65 million into super PACs to stifle regulation of AI and tech.

Trickle-down economics isn't just a hoax, it's corrosive to democracy.

Let’s be clear: when the Trump administration kills or stalls energy generation projects, that’s the White House choosing to make your electricity more expensive. Americans deserve better.

I just spoke with the White House after another horrific shooting by federal agents this morning. Minnesota has had it. This is sickening.

The President must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now.

Masked government agents are conducting “show me your papers” stops, detaining 5-year-olds to use them as bait, and brutally murdering U.S. citizens.

Call it what it is — fascism.

History will not look fondly on politicians and so-called "leaders" of this country who stood by and enabled this.

Alex Pretti, Renee Good, and Keith Porter Jr. were murdered. Marimar Martinez was shot. Mahmoud Khalil was arrested and jailed.

The next could be you.

What’s at stake isn’t just our democracy. It’s also your safety and security and that of your loved ones.

This is personal — to every one of us.

Abolish ICE and prosecute everyone who stays in it from this day forward as members of a criminal conspiracy to commit murder.

The last 3 years have been the hottest 3 years ever recorded.

We get one cold snap and the White House calls global warming a hoax.

I would say unbelievable, but it’s completely on brand.

Get out the vote efforts absolutely help. The reason a lot of people don’t vote is because it’s inconvenient - some folks simply don’t *care* about politics until it impacts them directly.

And more states won’t implement mail in b/c they want the process to be inconvenient. Low turnout helps GOP.

"If the U.S. military operation is not an armed conflict of any kind, these orders to kill helpless civilians clinging to the wreckage of a vessel our military destroyed would subject everyone from SECDEF down to the individual who pulled the trigger to prosecution under U.S. law for murder."
Here are US military lawyers stating clearly that Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth's "kill everybody" orders are either (1) war crimes or (2) murder.

Either way, expect prosecutions in the future.

Well, their fake Capitol Police pipe bomber story failed bigly, so they’re looking for the next ‘OMG LOOK OVER THERE!!!’ BS as we speak.

It probably ends (at minimum) with war in Venezuela. He still wants to use the Insurrection Act, too, but he’s being urged not to try that for now.

BIG NEWS: Congresswoman-elect Adelita Grijalva will finally be sworn in as a member of Congress tomorrow.

She is likely to be the 218th vote on the Epstein discharge petition, which would force a full vote to release the Epstein files in their entirety.

That’s the thing, there’s really not an heir apparent. None of them have the cult following of Donald Trump, and none of them are really all that charismatic.

I think we’re more likely to see a major GOP civil war for control, that will result in a fractured party.

It’s very likely a war crime. But we have to understand that there’s not going to be accountability until this administration leaves office.

We stop this by repeating what we just did on Tuesday, but bigger, in 2026.

I think (if he makes it that long) as we get closer to the end of his term - or possibly midterms, depending on how fucked the GOP still is from an approval rating perspective - those leaks will start, particularly if Trump reignites the 3rd term BS

They want an off-ramp. They just need his voters.

I did see that! In his defense, he’s really, really old.

And morbidly obese.

And probably recovering from TIAs.

Did I mention that he’s old?
