Freedom and justice cannot be parceled out in pieces to suit political convenience. I don't believe you can stand for freedom for one group of people and deny it to others.

Itbis ABSOLUTELY Federal Judges' job to hold the executive branch accountable when they break the law! Corrupt 47 is pissed that he got called for breaking the law. He IS breaking the law and his ego maniacal rants won't change that.
#Felon47 Knows It’s Federal Judges Jobs‼️ They are the JUDICIARY part of the 3 BRANCHES of GOVERNMENT‼️ He wants Americans to be ignorant of this, and to just go along with what he’s saying so that eventually he can make judges obsolete, and only have 1 branch of government, the presidency/himself

Asked about the CFPB, Trump rampages on Liz Warren: "Pocahontas. The fake. The faker ... she's a fake. Just like she said she's an Indian ... she's a nasty woman. She's a really nasty woman."

QUICK!! Someone go steal Desantis'white patent leather waders and rush them to 47. He's gonna need him for all the bullshit he's generating.
I’ll note that Trump rightly made fun of DeSantis for sounding like this.

So incredibly tragic. Such devastation on the heels of the already tragic mid-air crash in DC. My heart goes out to the first responders in both locations and the victims and their families of both tragedies.
DMV News Live has posted the following video on twitter of the plane crash in northeast Philadelphia

I am begging Democratic lawmakers to stop solely pointing out the obvious problems and start publicly talking about how to address them.

We know our democracy is unstable and unhealthy. What are you gonna do about it?

Cease the platitudes and broad statements. Get specific and talk about actions.
January 31, 2025 at 11:38 PM
Absolutely.
I swear we’ll never get anywhere by yelling things like “fascism” or “authoritarianism” or “he’s a dictator” or “he’s getting away with it all” or “he’s taking over.”

All that does is make Trump look stronger.

100% of our messaging should be about how weak and inept he is.

What he said
No matter where you fall on the TikTok ban, the President undoing by “executive order” a law passed by Congress and upheld unanimously by the Supreme Court is an unconstitutional abuse of power.

Despicable little human, kissing the king's ring. Apparently they've forgotten that republicans also live in CA and they lost homes and businesses too. Go back to your treehouse Keebler elf. You're an asshat.
WELKER: Can you commit that California disaster relief won't have strings attached?

MIKE JOHNSON: No, I won't commit to that ... when state and local officials make foolish policy decisions that make the disaster exponentially worse, we need to factor that in.

DOGE Day Afternoon

Manly MAGA mafioso Musk’s minions think he’s like Pacino, and the conservative capo just did Vivek like Michael did Fredo. But his cadre of cost-cutters seem to know about as much about Washington as they do about the scent of a woman.

It sure sounds like one! Interesting that he chooses the night BEFORE he's sworn in as president, while he's still a regular citizen...hmmm. He's pretty confident in that immunity deal with SCOTUS. Truly thinks he can't be touched. He's been DYING to tell people he cheated.
"[Elon] knows those computers better than anybody. Those vote counting computers. And we ended up winning Pennsylvania like in a landslide.

IS THAT A FUCKING CONFESSION???

Opinion | Elon Musk's brilliance starts with letting his lieutenants run the day-to-day of his most valuable properties, whether that's Linda Yaccarino (X), Gwynne Shotwell (SpaceX), or Donald Trump (United States of America).

Don't you touch my social security or Medicare! I've paid into it for approximately 45 years. They belong to the people who've who've ever worked and paid into those funds. Medicare is insurance that I've paid for. Social security is my govt retirement fund that my taxes have paid for!
Fox Business reports that cutting Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid is "on the table" for Republicans

Maybe Musk's government handouts should be re-examined. Anyone who enjoys billions of $$ dollars in profits shouldn't be benefits from government handouts. Pot meet kettle.
For years, Dems have raised the alarm about Rs slashing Social Security, and Rs denied it.

Now, Elon Musk’s DOGE is pitching massive cuts to Social Security at Trump's behest.

While seniors struggle to make ends meet, the richest man on Earth wants to take money away from them.
