Republicans Unlock New Slogan for 2026: "We Are All Going to Die"

Republicans have gone all-in on killing as many Americans as possible to promote a wealth transfer to the wealthiest people at the expense of our health care, Medicaid, and social services.

Perhaps, media, you should question why POTUS is unaware of his administration’s policies on student visas. Totally clueless. Is he (the current president, not Biden) mentally fit???!! @cnn.com @cbsnews.com @nbcnews.com @abcnews @pbsnews.org
REPORTER: When could the administration resume interviews for foreign students visa?

TRUMP: On what?

REPORTER: Foreign student visas

TRUMP: For the French?

REPORTER: All the foreign students

TRUMP: What are you referring-- foreign visas for what?

We need to stop voting for the awful people!!!
"Yes, Cuomo is awful, but I have some policy differences with the progressives, so this is hard."

This is not hard. What you do is, you set aside your precious little checklist, and YOU DON'T VOTE FOR THE AWFUL PERSON.

If you watch clips from the 1980s and 1990s, he's quick and entertaining. By 2019, his deterioration was clear. Now he keeps saying he doesn't know things and goes on these nonsensical rants. The difference is stark.

For the Republicans who can’t do math: cutting $800 billion from Medicaid doesn’t “offset” the trillions in billionaire tax cuts—that’s why the bill includes a 5 Trillion Dollar Increase in the Debt Ceiling.

Fiscal Conservatives my a$$.

Vote ‘em all out!!!

I bought some stuff the other day from an online store having a sale. I just tracked the package and it’s meant to ship from China. 🤦🏻‍♀️ Can anyone guess: 1) will it actually ship?; 2) Will I be charged 125% in tariffs? I have emailed customer service.
Do I need to stop shopping online???

Curious: What are u replacing Amazon with? Is there any other “one stop” online shop? (Not Target or Walmart obviously.) Or do I look 4 single items in a Google search &buy a shirt from here &pencils from there? My intention is to reduce my consumption in general but necessities keep coming up.Thx!

When you let this CR pass & there’s no more Social Security, Medicare, school lunches, or cancer research, the blood is on your hands. The blood is on your hands. You will own all the destruction to come.

If I knew where you lived, I would egg your house. I am steaming mad!

So @gavinnewsom.bsky.social wants to run for POTUS so he 1) starts a podcast 2) invites a bigoted incel onto podcast and 3) throws trans athletes under the bus. When what he could be doing is leading the resistance to DT. Hey hotshot, show us what you got. A podcast?! 🤦🏻‍♀️

Naming himself a king is a distraction. Saying Ukraine started the war is a distraction. Saying only he says what is law is distraction. What matters is what DOGE is dismantling w/out oversight. Firing people to the extent things no longer function (see 2nd midair collision in term). 🧵

All these articles about Democrats moaning over their messaging issues make me tired.

You know what's more important than messaging? ACTION.

Don't TALK about the price of eggs.

Tell people "MEET US IN THE PARK - WE'RE GIVING OUT FREE EGGS. THAT'S RIGHT - FREE EGGS FROM THE DEMOCRATS!"

Thank you, @brianschatz.bsky.social for taking a stand and grinding Senate business to a halt over the lawlessness of the Trump admin & Musk’s imaginary dept. I hope many more Dems will join you!

A large group of Congresspeople were holding a press conference outside USAID—you didn’t air it! You don’t think you should be covering the shut down of a major agency that a) saves lives and b) keeps US safe? Maybe guards leaving ISIS prisoners is news?

I would like you to put your intelligence, communication skills & knowledge of how a cabinet department works to fix this disaster of Musk & a team of teenagers stealing data & accessing payment systems without any legal authority. See also: USAID. 🤯

In light of the latest Trump destruction of things, here’s what we need to articulate as the Democratic vision.

1) We would talk to the managers of departments about who to reassign or where to “trim the fat” —not firing large swaths of experienced civil workers willy nilly.

When we have such a vile & incompetent president who lays blame rather than offering condolences after a tragedy, we need Dem leadership to show how it’s done.

Someone?
@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social ?
@schumer.senate.gov ?
Anyone?

Offer condolences & start a Congressional investigation!

Please take her up on it, Senator!
@corybooker.com hello I used to run the Wendy’s Twitter account and I am begging you to let me help you with the dems social media strategy, I will literally do it for free at this point

Senate Democrats, can you please, as a party, come together for a No-Vote for RFK Jr.? Unity!
Strategy! Can we try that please?

I guarantee that if he is confirmed & when he is in the role, he will do something awful. You do not want to have voted for him. Like with Noem. Think!!!

Ok sure, eggs are more expensive and inflation isn’t lowering, but at least they cut the funding for childhood cancer research, stopped monitoring Bird flu, shutdown Medicaid, stripped hungry kids of their school lunches and took hot meals away from seniors

Here’s a question for the press secretary: “Why is everything Trump does so cruel? Freezing food stamps & school lunches, for example, will leave people *without food*. Any thoughts?”
