No escaping the fact that the Supreme Court is an illegitimate institution as long as Clarence Thomas sits on it.

Stop calling them DOGE cuts and firings. Trump fired people and the cuts are his. DOGE is his heat shield. Pierce it.

As testament to his politcal acumen, in a climate of us vs. them politics where sides get chosen like favored fighters, Schumer created the narrative of "Democrats caved". He has elevated denigrating Democrats as weak to a requirement of good citizenship. No one can disagree. Nice Chuck!

I would never question Schumer's cultural/religious identity. I do question if he is a Democrat, because if he is, there is no future for Democrats. Also, my own Senator Durbin can walk off the edge of the earth. Already sent more money to AOC. Let the kids cook. Down with the Gerontocracy!

Who knew that when the Obama Administration gave a government bailout to an anti-union electric car maker that it would lead to all of this. America needs unions now more than ever. #solidarity

Trump economy is a blood bath. I don't like what it's doing to my retirement savings, but am glad that Wall Street is feeling the pain, not just Main Street. Still, the rich will always find a way to profit from others' suffering. Like vultures, but much less appealing.

In case you are too dense to connect the dots to what the US could become by looking at the cost of oligarchy in say, Russia, just imagine a Musk world. Today Tesla stock is plummeting, Twitter is down, and last week he blew up another rocket over Florida. The best and brightest...

This whole administration is just ritualistic abuse. We're all going to need therapy when this is over. And thanks to @laurajanegrace.bsky.social for a moment of psychic/spiritual relief at the Bernie rally last night. That alone was worth the drive to Kenosha.

What happens when you elect a lying narcissist to office because he wants to stay out of jail and then he lets his ketamine-addled billionaire fascist pal run the government while those elected to look after things hide in the corner playing with themselves? Looks a little something like this.

I mean, at least Z didn't wear a baseball cap in the Oval Office. I'd venture to say that is more disrespectful.

You think that Trump being a Russian agent has anything to do with how he's treating Zelensky and Ukraine? It's almost like he's working on behalf of Putin. So weird. I bet the other Russian agents like Senator Ron Johnson are right on board.

If the Republicans wanted to root out medical fraud, they could consult their resident expert, US Senator Rick Scott (R-FLA). He presided over a $1.7 billion Medicaid and Medicare fraud. He's an expert on cheating the government.

The Blues Brothers is a guide to our current apocalypse. Get the band back together? Sacrifice for the cause (Matt Murphy)? Piss off rednecks (Country & Western)? Will there be Nazis? Will police be on the wrong side of history? Will we slide in under the wire and save the nursery? I hope so.

About 60 percent of the budget for paying federal employees goes to the Department of Defense, the Department of Veterans Affairs, and the Department of Homeland Security.

Billionaires, not federal employees, are hoarding America’s wealth: total yearly pay for all 2.3 million civilian federal employees ($271 billion) is significantly less than Musk’s personal net worth of $412 billion.
