Trump is soooo worried about drugs entering the country that he just pardoned a guy sentenced to prison for.......get this.......selling $200m worth of drugs on the Internet.

@ResisterSis20 No fucking shit @washingtonpost only after you endorsed him for president, now you’re saying this, now when it’s too late, WTF!!!!🤬

[Elizabeth Warren @SenWarren]

No one elected Elon Musk.

As Donald Trump allows Musk to access people’s personal information and shut down government funding, Republicans in Washington will also own the consequences.

We must do everything in our power to push back and protect people from harm.

This is what it looks like when you’re scared of tough questions.

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

From our earliest days, Black history has always been American history – and Black folks have profoundly shaped our American culture through music, art, literature, sports, and beyond. One month a year is not sufficient to celebrate the power of the movements and the people who have fought for the rights we enjoy today. That’s something that we have to do each and every day, as we strive to live up to their example and make sure our children and grandchildren remember their stories.

A very hard street dog rescue here in Thailand today that is still ongoing.

Several people had messaged about this girl with a huge growth. She is a local community dog.

The tumor is growing fast so we had to get her. What a day (1/10)

[Rep. Gloria Johnson @VoteGloriaJ]

We just passed a bill that makes it an E felony for an elected official to vote for or against certain immigration policy. Literally charges them for voting their conscience or their district. This is authoritarian bullshit and against our US and State Constitutions. #HB6001

Democratic Senator Michael Bennet at RFK Jr's Senate confirmation hearing for HHS Secretary:

"Out of 330 million Americans, we're being asked to put somebody in this job who has spent 50 years of his life...peddling in half-truths, peddling in false statements, peddling in theories that create doubt."

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (DFL) speaks about the Trump grant freeze crisis:

“While he was out golfing, he threw the country into crisis. This is not bold. It's not leadership. It's stupid, buffoonish, childish of exactly what they did."

[Republicans against Trump @RpsAgainstTrump]

Former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley:

“We don’t take an oath to a king, or a queen, or to a tyrant, or a dictator — and we don’t take an oath to a wannabe dictator.”
(September 2023)

[Elizabeth Warren @SenWarren]

Let's be clear about what happened today: Donald Trump tried to cut a giant chunk of government funding — hurting preschoolers, seniors, and veterans.

Trump's illegal shutdown is blocked for now — but don't forget that he tried to cut programs supporting working families.

[CALL TO ACTIVISM @CalltoActivism]

HELL YEAH. Senator Wyden torches RFK Jr:

“Measles are in fact deadly and highly contagious, something that you should've learned after your lies contributed to the deaths of 83 people, mostly of them children, in a measles outbreak in Samoa."

[Ana Navarro-Cárdenas @ananavarro]

I will not give in to the lies.
I will not give in to the fear.
I will not normalize insanity.
I will not ignore cruelty.

Thank you for your integrity, @Acosta. I have loved being your @cnn colleague and friend. Good luck with your next chapter.

Congrats to Southern University’s School of Nursing for being named the Best Nursing School in the U.S. for the first time in its 39-year history! This is a huge win for the school and Jaguar Nation. Excellence at HBCUs continues to shine! 👏🏿

[Protect Kamala Harris ✊ @DisavowTrump20]

This is Judge Loren AliKhan. She just blocked Donald Trump's unconstitutional attempt to freeze federal funding, including Medicaid.

RETWEET to thank Judge AliKhan for standing up for our democracy!

[Barb McQuade @BarbMcQuade]

Trump administration removes online database of Jan. 6 cases. He is trying to erase history.

[Senator Mark Kelly @SenMarkKelly]

My mom was a cop. She was seriously injured responding to a burglary. The idea of her attacker being let off the hook is impossible to imagine.

And yet that’s exactly what happened when President Trump pardoned the criminals who violently assaulted officers on January 6th.

The whistle walk" was the walk leading from the kitchen to the House. Enslaved people were required to whistle as they walked as whistling and chewing are incompatible simultaneous actions. It would also ensure that they did not eat or spit in Massa's food on the way to serve.
