For people who do not know this. The GOP Save Act bill has already passed in the House. If it passes in the Senate .There’s 69 million women who will not be able to vote anymore. This is due to voter’s registration names will not match birth certificate names due to name change in marriage.

Watch out fellow veterans, they’re coming for us, too. He has told us what he thinks of us. Now he’s coming after the disability and medical benefits of those whose service took more from them than just the years we were in uniform.

Trump firing the 300 people who oversee our nation’s nuclear weapons stockpile and then realizing the gravity of his mistake before trying to backtrack is a perfect encapsulation of how is dangerous incompetence is putting the entire world at risk.

Don’t let anyone forget it.

Liebes Deutschland,

Als Amerikaner tut es mir sehr leid, und ich schäme mich, für unsere heutige Regierung. Bitte versuchen Sie daran zu denken, dass wir nicht alle wie Trump, Vance und Musk sind.

Rooting for the asteroid.
At the moment, mansion-sized Asteroid 2024-YR4 has a one-in-fifty chance of hitting Earth in the next eight years.

Now might be a bad time to reduce spending on Science. Just sayin’.

Are any MAGAts seeing what is happening, and filled with horror and regret? Or are they just slurping up Fox propaganda and cheering?

I love this:

Ron Charles in the WAPO, about the Episcopal bishop who called upon the maggat-in-chief to be merciful: “Trump was seated in the front row of the congregation, but he was still too far away from Budde to grab her by the pulpit.”

How does the right miss something so fundamental?

DEI does not mean “hire unqualified people.”

It means “stop overlooking qualified people because they’re disadvantaged by prejudice.”

Two years ago today we were awarded the Congressional Gold Medal for protecting The US Capitol on January 6th 2021. Almost 4 years later the efforts to downplay, whitewash and minimize what happened appear to be succeeding. I won't ever stop standing up to them.

I just ran into the main plaintiff and their family in the hallway of the Supreme Court in the skrimetti case today, and we all hugged and now I’m in tears in the press room.

I thanked them profusely.

Trans people deserve equal protection. We deserve to live like anyone else.

Kushner Sr., in addition to his felonies, doesn’t speak any French.

Chris Christie [said about him], "it's one of the most loathsome, disgusting crimes that I prosecuted when I was US attorney, and I was a US attorney in New Jersey, — so we had some loathsome and disgusting crime going on there!"

I’m new here, like many.

I was indiscriminately following back anyone who followed me.

Now I’m *flooded* with post by porn cam models and escorts (or con artists posing as such).

I don’t judge consenting adults doing their thing, I’m just not interested myself. Anyone know of a block list?

The world is 700% richer than in 1970 but the average person is only 8% richer.

Because the richest 0.01% are 4000% richer.

We are all being robbed every second of every day, and it doesn't matter how much profit or growth there is.

It will never reach you.

I’m not happy Trump was elected, but he was. Now he gets to assemble the cabinet he wants, subject to approval of the senate.

The senate should NOT vote down candidates that aren’t outrageous. If they are remotely qualified, Trump has the right to pick them.

Some of his picks need rejecting.
