Call your Senators and tell them to vote "NO" on the HR 8800 - National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2027. If you are looking for what to say, you can use the script at 5Calls.org. I called! Senate office at (202) 224-3121 #ProudBlue
I think it is very dangerous that the richest man in the world hates black people so much. He's already murdered countless kids in Africa by gleefully putting USAID "into the woodchipper" prospect.org/2026/05/22/w...

Not once has the Wall Street Journal published an editorial on #climatechange that acknowledged the definitive science that humans are changing the #climate, while publishing countless editorials rejecting, ignoring, or misrepresenting that science. This is just one more of those.
Sending ICE Agents to intimidate voters at polling places, declaring martial law to try to delay or cancel the election, seizing ballots-As he gets more desperate, there's nothing he won't do to try to save his pathetic orange ass. ALL states should preemptively prepare to defend Democracy! 🇺🇸 ✊

If the head of US intelligence isn't able to say who won the election in 2020, then maybe he shouldn't be head of US intelligence.
Buttigieg: You can see it in the carnival of corruption that is Washington, D.C., today. The leader of the free world flying around in a secondhand jumbo jet from a foreign country while he makes a billion dollars on crypto deals propped up by foreign leaders.
Musk really shouldn't be accusing anyone of being a thief after he just stole everyone's government information with DOGE.
Failed Again. His business strategy has always been... 1.fuck it up 2.cash out 3.bankruptcy 4.blame 5.run away He is at "cash out" with The United States right now, and sooner or later he will start blaming JoeBama. Failed Feckin Eejit 🕗🕕🕓🕖
'm surprised @wsj.com managed to be overwhelmingly critical of trump corruption. www.wsj.com/opinion/trum... Of course, they can't resist saying Hunter Biden did pretty much the same thing in secret. How many billions did Hunter make, remind me?

Historically, the GOP, now known as the Magat Party has never been fiscally responsible when it's in power.
While his mountain of horrible personal conduct could fill multiple books, one fact in particular stands out: A year ago, Musk’s actions directly led to the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people. He did it knowingly. And, worse — gleefully. Read more: www.theverge.com/tech/949259/...
Listened to an NPR story this morning about mass child starvation in Senegal without a single mention of Elon Musk, the guy who gleefully created the conditions for the mass starvation
The world's first trillionaire received 38 Billion Dollars from the US government. But, no, we won't have enough money to pay for school lunches for your kids. Or give you healthcare. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Elon Musk spent $290 million getting Trump elected. During this midterm cycle, he's spent $85 million. In total, that’s 0.0375% of his $1 trillion net worth. Oligarchs can rig the system at the expense of everyone else, and only spend pennies doing so. We must get Big Money out of politics.
At the risk of sounding corny, I think dogs and cats save us as much as we save them. These companion animals will never lie or cheat on you. They will comfort you through the hardest of times. I swear to you: adopting a shelter animal will be the best decision of your life.
Melania must testify. Why hasn’t she been called? Hillary was made to testify under oath- why not Melania who actually knew the man?
A war crime and also strategic nonsense. Millions of Iranians are short of water — and the entire region depends on desalinization facilities that Iran could destroy. If we strike water facilities and they respond in kind elsewhere millions of lives are at risk. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/10/w...
