Good words here. When Rs break with Trump on an issue like this let’s encourage it.
A must watch moment:

Republican Sen Tom Tillis shows he may have a spine after all. I know it’s hard to believe, but he actually calls out Putin 👀

I am afraid that without 4 or 5 Republicans in either the House or the Senate siding with democrats this is politically a done deal; and this needs to be sooner rather than later. He is steam rolling the courts and silencing the media. 😢💙🌎🕊

I encourage every artist and production to boycott the Kennedy Center moving forward. I know it's hard. I know art doesn't pay most artists well. I would never shame an artist or production for choosing to perform there. But I ask you to consider the powerful message it would send if you didn't.

If everyone collecting Social Security votes against the newly fascist Republican Party, it doesn't take many supporters who aren't on Social Security to throw them out completely.

Great catching up w/my friend Harry Dunn. We need to keep raising our voices AGAINST pardons for the J6 defendants who attacked/assaulted & "beat the blue" for Trump.
Contact every elected official: NO PARDONS FOR INSURRECTIONISTS! You may ask, "what good will that do?" I say, how can we NOT do it?

Fox's HR department had to look into Pete Hegseth's conduct at the 'Fox & Friends' Christmas party in 2016 and discussed it with him.

The following December, Hegseth got so drunk at a wedding of a Fox producer that he struggled to stand upright in a men's bathroom. www.nytimes.com/2024/12/04/u...

The Republican House majority may very well end up being the smallest in 100+ years.

Just 1 GOP defection and the Dems could kill a bill.

Those motherfuckers think they handed that rapist felon traitor a “mandate.”

Not even fucking close.
