Since Antifa isn’t really an “organization”, this is just carte blanche to arbitrarily declare people terrorists.

More of this.

Happy Friday to everyone who might be concerned that he has possession of the nuclear codes, blames the messenger for tanking the economy & would gladly pardon a monster to save his own thin orange skin.

A tweet by Elizabeth Warren (@SenWarren ) reads: "If President Trump can wrongly deport a Maryland father to a prison in El Salvador and then defy a 9-0 Supreme Court order to facilitate bringing him home, who’s next? This threatens the rights and freedoms of everyone in the United States."

We must make our stand here.

Regarding my last post, THIS:

@vanhollen.senate.gov is stepping up and doing the thing I said senators should do: go to El Salvador personally. Hell yeah.

As a resident of MD, today I praise my senator for having courage.

Jeff Bezos and two women, all in Blue Origin spaceflight gear, stand in front of the RSS Kármán Line capsule, with a caption above mocking billionaires for funding space travel with avoided taxes.

Space adventure and exploration should be for the benefit of all humankind, not the whimsy of a few.

Space Force Commander Fired Over Email Criticizing Vance's Greenland Comments She has more character than anyone in this administration.

She has more character and integrity than anyone else in this administration.

Amazing that without even mentioning a name, EVERYONE knows exactly who it's referencing.

Judge orders White House to allow AP access to news events U.S. Judge Trevor N. McFadden rules the White House cannot deny the Associated Press access to news events because the wire service continues to use "Gulf of Mexico" rather than "Gulf of America".

A federal judge has ordered the Trump White House to let Associated Press journalists return to the Oval Office and other spaces to cover news events, ruling it was unlawful to block the news service in a dispute over its choice of words.

I don’t think we’ve fully considered how funny (and tragic) it is that the only thing that prevented a double digit wipeout in the stock market today was a fake tweet

I’m not doomscrolling I’m just crashing my emotional stock market

Do you feel it?
Do you feel the momentum shift?
The will of the people is strong.
And we all know the only way out is through & the only way through, is together.
Resist.
Persist.
Standup.
Speak out.
Fight.
We can do this.
We WILL do this.
We ARE doing it.
And we will not stop.

The US buys approximately $3.5 billion in goods from Russia annually.

The trade deficit in the most recent year was $2.5 billion.

Using the same formula as other countries, Russia should have been hit with about a 17% tariff.

Oddly, Russia was spared.

I wonder why.

The entire permanent staff of the Division of Environmental Health Science and Practice was laid off. This division addresses issues such as asthma and air pollution, climate change and health, childhood lead poisoning, and cancer clusters.

Oh how I miss having a president who wasn’t out of his motherfucking mind.

Saw a clip from Fox News that was like, oh we all came together during wartime and this (this being the tariff bullshit) is like that. Which is insane. The only “wartime” is that Trump and Musk set our government on fire. We aren’t sacrificing for any greater good. Just for deranged billionaires.

Mike Waltz’s team set up at least 20 Signal chats for national security work – report National security adviser and team shared ‘sensitive information’ in group chats on app, sources tell Politico

As expected, the Signal chat fiasco seems to have been the tip of the iceberg. >20 Signal chats reported.

"All four [sources] reported seeing “sensitive information” discussed in these forums, though none said they were aware of classified material being shared"

Trump Tells Inner Circle That Musk Will Leave Soon The president is pleased with Elon Musk, but the decision comes as the tech mogul increasingly looks like a political liability.

Live: Speaking on Trump, Musk, and America’s Moral Moment on the Senate Floor | Senator Cory Booker YouTube video by Senator Cory Booker

There are some people I am really proud to have helped elect and @booker.senate.gov is one them. Thank you, Senator. This is exactly the kind of disruption every Democratic senator should undertake when our democracy is at stake. www.youtube.com/watch?app=de...

Dear media,
It’s not:
“President Trump Discusses Possible Third Term.”

It’s: “Kleptocratic Wannabe Dictator Says He Can Serve ‘Third Term’ In Blatant Disregard Of The Constitution He ‘Swore’ An Oath To Defend.”

You’re welcome.

Millions of bees have died this year. It's "the worst bee loss in recorded history," one beekeeper says Bees play a key role in the U.S. food supply, and the mass deaths could jeopardize that.

We’re gonna need this meme a lot over the next few years.

We expected 2,000 people out in GOP-held Greeley, Colorado.

11,000 people showed up.

Something special is happening, folks. Now is the time to organize in every dimension possible and get to work.

AOC and Bernie in front of the rally crowd in Denver

Zoomed out crowd shot of 34,000 people in downtown Denver with Colorado mountains in the background

Tonight an unbelievable **34,000 people** gathered for our Denver rally to take on billionaires and win our country back.

This was the largest political gathering in Denver since Obama in 2008.

Also bigger than the 2024 DNC.

And the largest ever rally in Bernie’s career (and obviously, mine too).

I don’t have to agree with the Gaza protestors to defend their right to protest.

And I don’t have to want Venezuelan gang members to be here on our soil, to defend their right to due process.

Either we are a nation of laws or we are not.

And if we are not, then all is lost.
