Donald Trump’s deployment of the military in Los Angeles over the objection of California leaders is an abuse of power and a dangerous escalation.

It’s what you would see in authoritarian states and it must stop.

Americans have the right to speak out and peacefully protest.

TODAY WE MOBILIZED OVER 3 MILLION PEOPLE ACROSS THE NATION!!!

This movement has entered the next chapter: the people will mobilize again, and again, until we make a difference.

It only takes 3.5% of the population in a sustained resistance in order to make a difference.

There's a lot going on, God knows, but don't miss that the President of the United States is using the full force of the Federal government, as well as tax dollars, to punish a state because its Governor... refused to do as he instructed.

Trump was expected to issue an executive order today to try to dismantle the Department of Education, which would harm students across Oregon and the country – especially low-income students and students with disabilities.

Yesterday proved why North Carolina needs an Attorney General who can challenge unlawful executive orders.

We won an injunction against an order that would have cut hundreds of millions in research funding from our public universities and research institutions.

I can't stop laughing at this man I'm sorry. This is the kind of shit the biggest loser in the world would say to their girlfriend about buying her flowers on Valentine's Day once, and he's doing so in an argument that started because he called her a bitch

Holy shit, I only read the transcript. Listening to him talk like that triggers my fucking PTSD. My heart started to race, I had to shut it off. Talk about disrespect. But your fucking finger away “donald”
who told this pampered asshole he has the right to speak to anyone like this?
VP Vance to President Zelenskyy: Have you said thank you once?
March 1, 2025 at 12:13 AM
The transcript is in the AP article. Sounds like they are trying to pick a fight with Zelensky. Trump sounds like he’s barely paying attention until he finds something to emotionally react to.
Donald Trump is treating the destruction of a democracy as a political show — throwing Ukraine to the wolves and doing a favor for Putin.

It's shameful and dangerous.

I've been to Ukraine, as have many Senate Republicans. I hope they speak up. Millions of lives are at stake.

NO. At a time of massive income and wealth inequality we should not be giving tax breaks to billionaires. We should demand that they start paying their fair share.
February 24, 2025 at 12:11 AM
Nice! I enjoy @underthedesknews.bsky.social and hadn’t found them on here yet! Also! Yes! F Billionaires!
Tonight, Senate Dems are putting up amendment after amendment against the Republicans’ absurd plans to give another tax cut to their billionaire buddies on YOUR back.

We chatted with @underthedesknews.bsky.social just off the Senate floor about how we’re fighting back:

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general.

If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.
