Lost my little companion Bear today.. he was only 9, but lived a BIG life, traveling to 30 states, climbing to 12,000 ft (Pikes Peak), and visiting 20+ National Parks & Monuments. He was such a sweetheart..

He and his party have spent a year relentlessly opposing the release of the Epstein files.
Now, suddenly, he's demanding their release.

They’re telling you…
That prices are down, while all your bills are going up.
That tariffs don’t raise prices, but now they’re lowering tariffs for some items in order to…wait for it…reduce prices.
That they don’t have money for SNAP or healthcare, while they send $40B to Argentina.

Great thread.. read it!
Marjorie Taylor Greene’s sudden realization that Trump can turn on even his most loyal foot soldiers is less a plot twist and more the inevitable final act of a very predictable script.

The Epstein coverup will go down as one of the greatest scandals and miscarriages of justice in U.S. history.
Everyone involved with Epstein’s victims or with the coverup needs to be prosecuted and go down in shame.
It does not matter if they are GOP or Dems!

Wasn’t he touting 7 trillion dollars in tariff money just weeks ago??
So he’s saying all the tariff money we took in is gone and we won’t be able to pay it back. There was always a possibility he could lose this lawsuit and have to refund the tariff money. We didn’t prepare for that possibility? He’s running the govt like he ran his casinos.

So… a few Dems have decided to capitulate to the GQP for absolutely ZIP, except a “promise” for a vote on ACA at some later date. Good going Dems.. you couldn’t do more to create apathetic voters than this.. after 7+ million protested and great turnout in midterms.. SHAME!!!

The failire to prosecute Trump was all about placing politics ahead of justice.
Remember all the "it will backfire politically" columns from centrist pundity explaining why we had to corrupt our legal system and leave everything to the electorate?
How's that working out?

I came across this from that other place, written 12 days after J6 and two days before Trump was evicted and Biden took over. We are in the trouble we’re in because Trump was not held accountable for his crimes, particularly inciting a ldeadly insurrection. Accountability is key for our future.

ANY ARRESTS? Among the millions upon millions of "violent leftist radicals" that took to the streets today I cannot find word of a single arrest. Even when everything is peaceful there is usually an overzealous cop or something. This is unheard of. We need to beat the media over the head with it.

Pritzker: “The Trump administration is following a playbook: Cause chaos, create fear and confusion, make it seem that peaceful protesters are a mob by firing gas pellets and tear gas canisters at them. Why? To create the pretext for invoking the Insurrection Act.”

A federal judge just ruled that Donald Trump is trying "to deny Americans their birthright." Trump is a serial violator of the Constitution. But Congress CAN STOP HIM & save the republic. Call your elected officials early and often. Red states, blue states, it doesn't matter.

As a retired journalism professor, I believe every newsroom in America must now develop Civil War Protocols: how it will conduct the profession of journalism when Donald Trump declares martial law and systematically ends our democracy. If your newsroom isn't prepared for this, it's rank malpractice.

If you take the Trump/MAGA/GOP threat to US Constitutional democracy seriously—and I really think you should—then things getting worse faster, before Trump has consolidated authoritarian power, is beneficial, not detrimental.
If Democrats don't fight now, they might never have another real chance.
