Dude, your boss is currently trying to steal $1,776,000,000 from the Treasury. And that’s just *one* of his scams. You people have ZERO self-awareness.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 2mo agoStephen Miller: "Based on what I've heard, we could balance the federal budget if the only dollars that went out of the treasury went to individuals who were properly, lawfully, correctly eligible to receive them"
For more than a decade, Stephen Colbert has been one of the top voices of late night—making us laugh and, even more importantly, reminding us who we are and what America stands for. Michelle and I enjoyed being Stephen’s guests—even when the games were rigged—and we’re grateful to call him a friend.
This photo should be on the front page of every single newspaper in America today.
Scott Bessent says we can’t know what causes climate change. This administration… ffs.
Enjoyed the day in St Paul with my 100k good friends at the TDS support group.
The No Kings rally is 03/28 and it isn’t something you HAVE to do, it’s something you GET to do. Bring everyone you know. Make them SCARED of our numbers. youtube.com/shorts/vCO7v...
Why SHOULD YOU come out for NO KINGS on Saturday?

Saying The Quiet Part Out Loud Dept.-Kinda sounds like he's admitting he interfered in the election with VERY specific statistics. I quit Twitter because he bought it, way before his confession he stole the election for the Orange Atrocity. 🍊💩 Now I'm SURE I made the right decision! 👍
The team at Democracy Docket has built something really important for these times. To showcase it, the team launched a new trailer. I hope you watch, share and enjoy.
I keep seeing people ask about the 25th Amendment. Guys. His entire Cabinet is walking around in shoes that don’t fit because they’re scared to take them off. The 25th is never happening.
The idea that imperfect victims aren’t worth defending is much bigger than me, and is something I had to speak out about. What kind of world does it create when only some of us are deemed worthy of institutional support and safety?
Obama: "We are living in a time where it can be hard to hope. Each day we wake up to some new assault on our democratic institutions. Another setback to the idea of the rule of law ... but this man - Rev. Jesse Jackson - inspires us to take a harder path ... bc if we don't step up, nobody else will"
What kind of dumb shit take is this?!
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 5mo agoLeavitt: "When he as commander in chief determines that Iran no longer poses a threat to the US and the goals of Operation Epic Fury have been fully realized, then Iran will essentially be in a place of unconditional surrender whether they say it themselves or not"
DONALD TRUMP KILLED 170 CHILDREN IN MINAB, IRAN AND THEN POSTED A SIZZLE REEL DECLARING "FLAWLESS VICTORY" We are the bad guys. We are the rogue nation we grew up being taught to fear and despise.
The idea of a legislative body representing the population having the ability to check the ultimate power of a country’s leader sounds really neat. Someone should write that down.
Deductibles should be $0 Premiums should be $0 Copays should be $0 Prescriptions should be $0 We could have guaranteed healthcare with Medicare for All and save up to $450B and 68,000 lives per year if politicians answered to us instead of billionaires and corporate donors.
New A.C.A. Plans Could Increase Family Deductibles to $31,000

Never forget this: The forces undermining our democracy, rigging our economy, polluting our planet, and stoking hatred are counting on you to give up. Cynicism is how they win.
Justice isn’t ICE leaving Minnesota. Justice is ICE being held accountable for murdering Americans.
Around the world, politicians and businessmen are resigning from their positions because of the Epstein Files. Except in the United States. Here: Zero shame, zero consequences. We need resignations, investigations, impeachments, and punishments now. Should have been years ago.
No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition. Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...
Gladys Mae West obituary: mathematician who pioneered GPS technology
She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.

Sorry for your loss, Kristen. And thank you for sharing your story. His loss is heartbreaking...

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. dedicated his life fighting for equity and justice. He taught us that even in the face of intimidation and discrimination, we must never stop working towards a better future – a lesson that feels especially relevant today.
The first time Charlie Chaplin spoke onscreen, he implored the people of the world to resist the rising tide of fascism. Nearly 90 years later, it remains a timely message.
This is exactly what I told someone yesterday. Even if I spot you the first shot (I shouldn’t, but let’s go with that), shots 2 and 3 were inexcusable and this officer will lose his case if it ever goes to court.
Sorry, but as someone who literally faces the possibility of deportation, I don't need people to lecture me about issues around undocumented immigrants, ICE, or whatever else, especially if you're a white citizen

DOJ use of force policy. He broke the law and murdered a US citizen. Full stop.
