Ossoff: A wave is building. The kind of wave that comes once a generation. And people have been pushed too far and they decide all at once, altogether, that enough is enough. We have the power not just to restore checks and balances, but to rebuke these abuses of power with such power and decision that no president dares try anything like this again for a century.
Ossoff: "The president was so humiliated in Hormuz he threw his toys out the stroller and refused to sign the affordable housing bill. That's after he gave some felon donor a no bid contract for the reflecting pool and it filled up with algae, which for some reason required the deployment of the National Guard. And then because of his war and tariffs, inflation rose to over 4%. He promised to bring down prices on day one, do you remember that?"
Bill Maher to JD Vance: "Here's my deal breaker for your side, okay? Under Trump, you guys have two outcomes an election can be: Either we win, or they cheated. That shit has to stop."
Bill Maher: You can legally be a senator but also be a pastor? Could you be the president and also a pastor?
Raphael Warnock: I don't know that as practical to be the president and be a pastor. But yeah, of course.
Larry Wilmore: You can be president and be a felon.
AOC: Mike Johnson paints this as though it’s some partisan witch hunt. But if you don’t want to be prosecuted for crimes, don’t do crimes.
And he’s talking about running a protection racket. And we are already seeing that this Trump administration has run what some have called one of the largest pedophile protection programs in American history.
And so when Mike Johnson tells a group of wealthy donors, I'm the only thing standing between you, and a consequence that should rattle at the conscience of every American.
What he wants to do is create—or rather, not even create, because it’s already been created—but protect a class of impunity in America that says, “You can commit whatever crime, and so long as you pay a check to us, we will protect you.”
And that is a model of extortion in American politics. And you know what? That’s their pitch.
AOC: I think we’re now in a new time, and I think there is greater recognition of the brokenness that led to President Trump in the first place, which is that growing inequality yields to authoritarianism, and that economic instability and the collapse of democracy are intertwined…
LMAOOO, check out President Obama doing the intro on Larry David's new show, perfect timing and delivery! trump could never!
The show is hilarious, btw.
It's basically Curb Your American History.
PSAKI: “You’re a Democratic Socialist yourself, how do you see it?”
🔥 @AOC: “The Republican Party’s brand is fear — if you’re not afraid of your neighbor, you’ll realize who is actually pickpocketing you: large corporations and the Trump administration. People are feared out.”
Edward Norton: “Trump is worse than Nixon and McNamara by far, Trump and Hegseth. We’re in a level of incompetency and grift and corruption that is unprecedented in the history of this country”
Ossoff: Let's be very clear about what the president is saying to the American people. The president is saying that he will not sign a bill whose purpose is to make housing affordable unless his allies in congress pass a voter suppression bill to rig the election. He is saying, I won't even sign a bill that will give economic relief to Americans unless the rules of this election are changed so that he, Donald Trump, cannot be held accountable for all of his misdeeds because that's what he really fears most of all is that when there is a change in the balance of power, and when we restore checks and balances, he knows that there will be subpoenas flying that officials from his administration will be testifying under oath about the full range of misconduct and corruption that we already know has been happening since the moment he was sworn in.
The Bible Belt is also:
The divorce belt
The teen pregnancy belt
The obesity belt
The murder belt
The poverty belt
The high-school dropout belt
The uneducated belt
The MAGA belt
The prison belt
The disease belt
None of these are a coincidence. They are not simply correlation.
This is cause and effect.
The Supreme Court just ruled to allow corporations to poison people.
If you poisoned someone, you’d go to prison.
When corporations do it, they get a pass because the conservative Justices on the Supreme Court were put there by a special interest group funded by corporations.
“I don’t think about Americans’ financial situation at all.” – Donald Trump
“Affordability is a hoax.” – Donald Trump
“Nobody gives a shit about housing.” – Donald Trump
“I love the inflation.” – Donald Trump
When people tell you who they are, believe them. Vote every Republican off the ballot. Every. Single. One.
It's no longer left versus right or even Democrat versus Republican.
It’s now democracy versus oligarchy. Freedom versus dictatorship. Right versus wrong.
Millions are awakening to this new reality — and they're speaking up.
The sleeping giant of America is roaring.
