We did not take an oath to a king.
We did not take an oath to a wannabe dictator.
We swore to defend the Constitution of the United States.
We served our nation — not one man.
Republicans in Congress would do well to remember their oath, too.

Just a reminder of who Thom Tillis is:
In 2013, as N.C. House Speaker, he passed a massive voter suppression law that was struck down because it targeted Black voters "with almost surgical precision.”
In the Senate he voted against the Freedom to Vote Act and the John R. Lewis Voting Right Act.

I took that oath 56 years ago and it's still valid.
Will our Vets ‘honor their oath’ to the United States Constitution, or will they support an orange fascist pig? 👇

The internet is forever, Li'l Marco. You can't hide from this one.
This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell.
This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

🚨Trump & Musk’s purge is screwing Veterans.
30% of federal workers are Veterans, and these mass firings are ripping away their jobs and gutting programs they rely on. It’s illegal, it’s cruel, and we’re taking them to court.

Elon, I hate to break it to you but you aren’t my boss. I answer to the people of Minnesota.
But since you bring it up, I spent last week fighting to stop tax breaks for billionaires like you, paid for by defunding health care for moms and babies

The Revolutionary War was fought to rid America of kings and tyrants. Our system of checks and balances was set up to ensure no man would become a king. This is unAmerican, and a slap in the face to every person who has ever fought for the dream of a more perfect union.
