Disgusting.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu gifted Senator John Fetterman a "silver plated beeper" during the lawmakers visit to Israel, inspired by the country's covert operation thousands of devices on Hezbollah fighters detonated last year.

We are in a full-blown Constitutional crisis. The checks and balances are not functioning. Executive branch is off the rails.

We are not okay.
The photo depicts a protestor holding the American flag upside down, flying in the wind at Yosemite National Park. The flag being flown upside down means the nation is in extreme danger, in distress.

THE HORROR.
Photo of a blonde woman with glasses on top of a chair, looking down in fear. There are four mice on the floor below. The meme reads, "Eeek! It's the transgender mice! Coming to take my daughter's spot on the volleyball team!" This is a reference to the transgenic mice that made headlines recently, which Republicans erroneously called transgender. Perhaps they do not understand what transgenic means. Instead of looking it up, they used out as propaganda to spread fear about transgender people.

#Democrats, your response is disappointing. Y'all can't even coordinate a #protest? You can't even agree on an action? You can't just fucking come together and DO SOMETHING?

This is why we're fucked. Republicans don't give a shit about laws and Democrats whine and squabble. We need REAL reps.
A disjointed response from the Democrats. An incredibly disjointed response from the Democratic Party. Is the plan to protest in silence? Walk out of the speech? Or cause a massive disruption? If you're watching, it's all of the above. It didn't take 10 minutes for rep. Al Green to cause so much of a disruption, the president was forced to stop his speech. Green was escorted out. Several minutes later we saw a handful of democrats stand up, remove their blazers and turn their backs toward the president. Some of their shirts reading "RESIST" and "NO MORE KINGS." But for the most part, All other Democrats are sitting silently and using their paddles to protest, trying to fact check the president in real time and holding up signs that read "FALSE." -ABC News Rep Rashida Tlaib has a whiteboard with her writing, "LIES" and "THAT'S A LIE" As the president moves through his speech, then holding it up. Not so long ago, it was Democrats who were condemning outbursts from the Republicans who interrupted President Joe Biden. The lack of decorum is now becoming part of the norm here on Capitol Hill. -ABC News's Rachel Scott.

Al Green getting in good trouble.
Quote at some point, we're all going to have to stand up." Al Green. Rep. Al Green spoke with ABC News after he was escorted out of the chamber and said he'd welcome any consequences that come from his disruption. " I was following the wishes of conscious, There are times when it is better to stand alone than not stand at all," he said. -ABC News Green added that he believes Trump is "disrupting the health care system" and "all but defying court orders. " "At some point, we are all going to have to stand up," the congressman said. -ABC News's Jay O'Brien

The Democrats booing is the most some of them have done yet.
Johnson tries to bring chamber to order, has Democrat removed. Speaker Mike Johnson is standing up, slamming his gavel and trying to restore order and "decorum." As he did he had the sergeant at arms remove Democratic rep. Al Green of Texas. -ABC News

Red octagonal sign that reads "Musk." The "S" is a swastika. The sign appears to be calling Musk a Nazi.

I wouldn't want to be known for keeping my mouth shut. What's the point in that?
Painting by Anders Zorn, 1892, titled "The Girl with the Cigarette." Painting depicts a dark curly haired girl with dark eyes and pale skin smiling, looking intently as if in a conversation, holding a cigarette. Text over the image reads, "I won't be remembered as a woman who kept her mouth shut. I'm okay with that."

When I do this, people get MAD... which is why I do it. You're okay with men walking around with confidence, but a WOMAN who believes in herself? Must be a BITCH.

Well, then I'm a bitch. I'm not perfect, I am flawed like anyone else... But I know I'm also pretty awesome. No apologies needed.

It's a coup.
That's not up for debate anymore.
