Do they really think they can scare us with the word “socialist” when they are literally sending out men in masks with no warrants and no badges to disappear people off American streets?

I know what I’m scared of, and it’s not a socialist.

If someone tells you this charade was to celebrate the military show them this photo.

Who and what do you see at the center.

This propaganda shot cost millions of dollars to produce. Every element is intentional.

Today they have crossed a deep red line.

We, the people, must hold the president and his appointees accountable for this outrageous abuse against American liberty.

Just got word that Secretary Noem is asking for an addition to her budget - a new private Gulfstream 5 jet for her personal national photo op tour. She's already got a private plane but wants a tricked out new one.

All while she supports kicking 13 million people off Medicaid.

Speaker Johnson, it's Police Week. Why won't you hang this plaque honoring Capitol Police?
The plaque honoring the heroes of January 6 is finished, but the GOP refuses to hang it in the Capitol.

Not one Republican has offered a reason why.

If they can’t respect the officers who defended our democracy, the very least they can do is respect the law.

I think we can label them officially “fascist” now.
Stephen Miller says they are “actively looking at” suspending the writ of habeas corpus, which is only allowed when the US has been invaded or during an insurrection, which would not allow people to challenge their incarceration in court if they are arrested and detained.

Out of all the bullies and monsters in the administration, Marco Rubio seems like the purest specimen of how Nazism happened—not a sincere bigot or ideologue, just an empty shell who has literally no limits on what he will agree to do or pretend to believe, embracing brutality to fill his weakness
President Trump’s administration has officially expelled South Africa’s ambassador to the U.S., a spokesman for the South African president said on Saturday, calling the decision “regrettable.”
Trump Administration Expels South Africa’s Ambassador to the U.S.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio had lashed out on social media over comments critical of President Trump that the ambassador had made to a think tank in Johannesburg.

Schumer’s decision is an unconscionable surrender that shows he does not have what it takes to meet this moment, and the charade he pulled yesterday makes it even worse. Time for new leadership in the Democratic Party.

if Trump and his cronies are able to veto appropriations made by Congress, then we've already moved into a dictatorial system of government. Why would Democrats waste time negotiating spending deals if Trump can just rip them up after he signs them?

Speaker Mike Johnson's decision to recess the House during a government shutdown crisis may be one of the bigger miscalculations of the year. Huge gift to the Senate Dems insisting on a clean CR but who must vote no because there's no chance of House action on any alternative bill.

Why is Trump waging a war on the Department of Education?

Because he knows that his biggest enemies are educators and younger generations of learners who are unafraid to speak truth to power.

Attacks on education are central to the fascist playbook.

AOC slammed Mike Johnson, saying: “You run the government. If you have the votes, then go ahead. If you need Democrats, then you need to negotiate with Democrats. Those are your two options. Blaming someone else because your shoes are untied isn’t one.”

JD Vance claimed on X that “Slava Ukraini” protesters followed him & shouted at his daughter.

Guess he didn’t realize it was caught on camera. No one yelled at his kid, and they didn’t follow them.

Vance & Musk need to quit using children as shields. The public isn’t backing down—we want answers.

Voting no is the right move but this looks like messaging in any budget fight from the last 40 years, not messaging for the middle of a constitutional crisis that, among other things, makes budget deals meaningless and pointless.

Run against Musk, not against Paul Ryan…
Republicans are determined to shut down the government and crash the economy.

We will not be party to their toxic scheme.

A reminder: Vladimir Putin could end the war in Ukraine right now, just by ordering his soldiers to go home. No need for treaties or negotiations.
