AOC to @pabloreports.bsky.social : A swastika is one of the clearest symbols of hatred in all of humanity… to remove that designation… indicates a possible collaboration with those very elements, which I think is genuinely frightening to any American.

We’re in Brazil — one of the world’s great democracies, one of our biggest trading partners — and not a single person from the Trump Administration showed up.
That’s shameful.

From street marches to court battles to the ballot box - we’ve challenged the power of this exceptionally unpopular president.
The lesson from each success we've had is that we need to ramp the political pressure up, always up, not back down, now more than ever.

Gutted by the Dems caving after the blue-wave wins of last week? Sick & tired of us snatching defeat from the jaws of victory? I hear you! Might I suggest you calm yourself, relax, take a deep, cleansing breath... then see if this photo of 2 pandas cuddling is of any help.

The Senate Republicans are going to be forced to work with Senate Democrats to end the shut down after the results of tonight‘s elections. The Democrats cannot fold on ACA subsidies. This is amazing. Congratulations!

Trump is throwing 15 million Americans off health care.
He's doubling premiums for 20 million Americans.
Now, he's refusing to use a $5 billion emergency SNAP fund to keep 16 million kids from going hungry.
But the 1% keep $1 trillion in tax breaks.
Oligarchy in action.

The old rulebook is gone. It's not coming back and we all need to accept that. The DOJ is weaponized. the GOP is rigging elections. Trump is literally bulldozing the White House.
