I would love a drone footage of these troops guarding the federal buildings against no one. @dprzygoda.bsky.social know anyone?
This is actually perfect. The emptiness makes it look as ridiculous and wasteful as it is.

An important reminder for EVERY member of our military, share it:

“We don't take an oath to a King.

We don't take an oath to a wannabe dictator”

“We take an oath to the Constitution."

(In fact, Republicans in Congress could use a reminder about their oaths too. 202-224-3121)

(1/3) It needs repeating: in 1994, Ukraine was persuaded to give up its nuclear weapons to Russia in return for the US, the UK, and Russia guaranteeing Ukraine’s sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity.

STEP 1: Donald does something stupid.

STEP 2: Donald is surprised there are consequences.

STEP 3: Donald backs down.

STEP 4: Donald lies, claiming things already agreed to are new concessions he forced by the stupid thing he did.

STOP 5: REPEAT

As Trump & his subordinates continue to walk back & renige on one campaign promise after another, MAGA can take comfort in knowing that Trump didn’t mean any of it & was only saying that shit to win the election so he can stay out of prison & further enrich himself & his friends.

I hear too many people say they’re not going to bother calling their senators because they’re Republicans…

Being represented by the GOP does not mean you shouldn’t call. It means you MUST call.
CALL YOUR SENATORS!

Tell them to vote NO on these five extremist nominations!

NO to ➡️
Bondi
Gabbard
Hegseth
RFK
Patel

Please! Not one of these is even competent to do these jobs.

I'll repeat it again: Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy were never elected to Congress and should have ZERO say in any conversation about the government shutdown.

Zero.

As you process the devastating news that another tragic shooting took the lives of at least 3 innocent people in Wisconsin, remember the shooter didn't act alone.

He was assisted by 222 House members, 49 Senators, and the NRA.

How can we explain this debacle to our children?? How can we teach them respect? How can we protect them?
