The President of the United States is threatening to go to war with an American city.
This is not a joke. This is not normal.
Donald Trump isn't a strongman, he's a scared man. Illinois won’t be intimidated by a wannabe dictator.

The disparity btwn what’s actually happening in Los Angeles and the way it’s being mischaracterized is one of the biggest stress tests of modern media in recent memory. Botted socials, AI, old clips, declining literacy—it’s like seeing a broken emergency response system hit by a storm.

Feel the momentum building. Not just to oust Trump, not just to shove out Musk, but to finally tell the wealth class and their political flunkies to fuck off forever.
To build something real and true. Something infinitely better. A country where we prioritize people having better lives. Finally.

If you vote for this Republican Funding Bill, you are complicit in all that DOGE, President Elon, and Trump does.

@schumer.senate.gov If you vote for cloture you are a stain on this country’s history that will never go away. You are willingly passing power to a tyrant in waiting, and you are a disgrace to every oath of office any senator has ever sworn. Your legacy will be one of cowardice and contempt.

Everyone knows what happened here. Trump can only exist around people he can causally humiliate. Guys lie JD and Rubio. He wanted to do a ritual humiliation of Zelensky and Ukraine but Zelensky wouldn’t accept that and so Trump reacted like a stung bitch.

Our congressional delegation pursuing oversight on reports of Elon Musk’s illegal activity at USAID was just barred from entering the building on the orders of Musk and the Trump Administration.
Nobody elected Musk — this is illegal and corrupt and we will keep fighting it.

Watching moderate Democrats and former Republicans scapegoat trans people and vulnerable communities for their failure has been repulsive.
It’s time to wrestle with what actually went terribly wrong and reject this call to push the party further Right.

226 / 312: An Exercise in Self-Destruction
It's infuriating watching the Democratic Party learn all the wrong lessons from the election. What we do next depends on whether this gets fixed.
