JUST NOW: President Biden responds to criticisms of him and takes shots at hack “journalists” Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson: “You can see that I’m mentally incompetent, I can’t walk and I could beat the hell out of both of them”

No it is the American people who failed to protect us from this by making stupid choices in 2024 At some point you all really do need to look in the mirror if you didn’t vote for Kamala and dems and take responsibility for your own actions

I’m calling it!!! This might go down as the biggest transfer of wealth in U.S. history—and it’s not coming from China. It’s coming from American businesses… and then straight out of our wallets. finance.yahoo.com/news/trumps-...

Trump's April tariff revenue topped $17 billion. That dwarfs any haul from his first term.

The amount collected from President Trump's tariffs nearly doubled in April, dwarfing the smaller spikes in government tariff revenue seen during Trump's first term.

Pretending that Joe Biden wasn't the most progressive president when he prioritized the working class for his entire presidency just means you weren't paying attention at all.

The longer the Democrats resist change and progressive principles, the longer we keep losing. I hate to say it, but our "liberals" are pretty dang conservative and unwilling to stand up for democratic principles.

We should have had President Kamala Harris.

We should have had President Kamala Harris.

Today is Kamala Harris's last full day in elected office after 21 years. Throughout those years, she's served the people with dignity, class, & grace, producing an extraordinary record of accomplishments without a single scandal or complaint. I can't wait to see what's next for her.

#FlashBackFriday to the day I was announced as the nominee to be Secretary of the Interior. That day was full of excitement and nerves knowing the profound responsibility I was about to take on.

An absolutely beautiful article on Vice President Kamala Harris by @jonathancapehart.bsky.social. These are the types of articles she deserves. Thank you for writing this, @jonathancapehart.bsky.social. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

Opinion | For Kamala Harris, a lifetime of firsts means she won’t be the last

By example, she teaches us not to be discouraged.

Never forget: With only 107 days of campaigning, a Black woman who had already won the second highest office in the nation came within 1.5% of winning the Presidency of the United States. Evil has a big fan base but no actual mandate. Keep the faith.

Trump’s mass deportation plans are nothing more than racism and cruelty. MAGA Republicans love this plan because racists and sadists flock together. MAGA Republicans are the worst of America; their legacy will be akin to malevolent Nazis. The only wall we need is one that shields us from them.

Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) said he’s a “hard yes” on Trump Cabinet pick Elise Stefanik. He even gave her an enthusiastic thumbs up. Apparently Fetterman and Stefanik have become fast friends. (And Fetterman was the first Democratic senator to meet with defense secretary nominee Pete Hegseth.)

Every Democratic official saying they are trying to find "common ground" with Trump is saying they are turning their back on every person and community Trump will be targeting as President in order to further their own political self-interest.

Cold, rainy morning. Tigg says "Nope not today."

To anyone daft or willfully obtuse enough to ask, she hasn’t gone anywhere nor is she silent.

“Take care of each other. Get some rest & then let’s get ready for the new year & know I will be by your side. I ain’t going nowhere.” - Kamala Harris (12/11/24) Many Dem leaders are bending the knee, but she’s giving encouragement while analyzing her next move and best way to protect us, it seems.

What the hell are we even doing? Normalizing & green-lighting another psychotic madman. That’s what we’re doing. It’s f’ing insane.

i’ll say that RFK is the guy that genuinely frightens me because i think he would happily let as many people suffer and die as it took for him to feel vindicated about his beliefs. a totally amoral person who doesn’t seem to believe that other minds exist.

This is the person of the year

The Republican “Dep. of Gov Efficiency” is a distraction from their $4 trillion billionaire welfare scheme. If you were $10k in debt and worked hard to cut it to $4k, the next step would NOT BE TO BUY A $4M HOUSE. They want to cut from you, while THEY GET $4 trillion. It’s the GREAT AMERICAN SCAM!

Reminds me of that episode in The Handmaid Tales where Serena Joy thought because she had written the rules and bylaws for women as incubators and all that bs that she would be equal to the men and was shocked when they kicked her complicit ass out of the big meeting.

Left-wing media is just as white supremacist as right-wing media. If the results of left-wing media end up being the same as right-wing media, one must ask if they really care about progressive policies they purport? Or have they found a way to uphold white supremacy that they can feel good about?

Nicholas Grossman@nicholasgrossman.bsky.social · 2y ago

Dems get better at messaging, TV ads won't cut it, stop relying on media to convey your message, support local news, yes to all that. But new-media-as-election-solution takes like this run into a problem: right-wing media enforces loyalty to Republicans; left-wing media likes criticizing Democrats.

Why is that when Biden does something good, Dems have to caveat it with “BUT he should do xyz”. Y’all get on my nerves with that shit.

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.

This dude screams "I'm a virgin for life"

62 yrs old today. This time last year I wasn't sure I wasn't going to get here. Thank God for science and incredible docs and nurses and my amazing family and friends for their love and support! I made it! I'M STILL HERE!

Trans folks held a dance party in the Capitol bathroom to protest the bathroom ban on there.

But hey, you owned the libs.

Local union leaders in Pittsburgh are furious after Trump voiced his intent to block the U.S. Steel-Nippon deal on Monday. Steelworkers Local 2227 Vice President Jason Zugai, who spoke at a Trump rally in October, said Trump's statement was "frustrating" and "like a gut punch.”

If you’re more upset at Hunter Biden for cooperating & paying $200K in back taxes and getting pardoned than Roger Stone who committed tax fraud, avoided paying $2 MILLION, & got pardoned by a criminal president, you’re an ignoramus, hypocrite, or Republican, but I repeat myself. #NotTheSame
