Lies are loyalty tests. Trump allies who ignore or dismiss his bizarre social media posts and blatant lies in public appearances are complicit. Who would trust his promises about important things when he has no grip on reality for smaller ones?

Amazing!!!

This mistreated dog came to our shelter carrying deep fear from his past. At first, he wouldn’t eat, stayed curled in the corner, trembling and flinching at every little sound. He didn’t know how to trust or feel safe.

Then our gentle Pit Bull named Honey showed up... moving slowly, giving space, and quietly sharing food. The little dog began to open up, slowly learning what trust feels like, until finally he chose to sit close, finally feeling safe and not alone anymore. And for the first time, he felt what it meant to be loved. Honey the Pit Bull deserves recognition for his gentle, kind heart. ❤

@AdamKinzinger Yet.
impact remains to be seen.
She(SC) is a sad sack
as is the entirety of their corrupt party
tip to tail

you did the right thing.
their end will not be pretty.

[leebro joe @LeebroJ]

@joncoopertweets it doesn't matter.
as a matter of branding, it is idiotic.
be a democrat
be a socialist
together it's a double loss
a double burden
The democratic party is fully complicit in the impending failure of this country.

to be clear, it's the party not the people

Diane lost her apartment fourteen months ago after a long medical leave from work. She had no place that allowed pets. So she brought her Border Collie, Finn, to Millbrook Shelter and made him a promise. She found stable housing eight weeks ago. Spent the next six weeks searching. Found Finn at Millbrook last Tuesday. The spinning started before she even said his name. When he knocked her over, neither of them got up for a long time. She kept saying the same three words quietly. Finn just kept shaking against her. Some promises take longer to keep. That doesn't make them any less real.

I just voted no on Todd Blanche's nomination to serve as Attorney General.

Before I did, I laid out the 5 biggest reasons why he should not be our nation's top law enforcement officer:

[Rep. Jamie Raskin @RepRaskin]

We've got every House Democrat signed on to our discharge petition to permanently reject President Trump's corrupt $1.8 billion slush fund, his payoffs to MAGA foot soldiers and his corrupt Super Pardon.

We need just six self-respecting Republicans to join us to protect taxpayer dollars and end this gargantuan ripoff of the public treasury.

To whom it may concern and to everyone else as well,

[Dalai Lama @DalaiLama]

The time has come to take concrete steps to bring about a real transformation in the ways we educate our future generations. We need to combine both an education of the mind with an education of the heart so that our children grow up as responsible, caring citizens equipped to meet the challenges of today's increasingly globalized world.

[Christopher Hale @ChristopherHale]

NEW: No modern pope has sustained a campaign of this scope against an active American military operation.

In twenty-five days, the U.S.-born Pope Leo XIV has told Christian soldiers to promote peace, ordered Catholic politicians who perpetuate war to go to confession, called for a permanent ban on aerial bombing, and demanded a ceasefire — repeatedly, publicly, and without apology. https://t.co/Bjf266Cbys

[Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63]

When mail-in voting is limited or eliminated, then selected polling stations are closed or surrounded with "security checks", when poll workers are replaced by ICE "for security", when ballots are confiscated for "fraud", maybe you’ll take it seriously. Too late.

[leebro joe @LeebroJ]

@IAmPoliticsGirl And yet, the Dems have a golden opportunity to stage a spectacular takedown of their corruption at every level.

weakness
losers
obscenely inadequate failure of a party.

you are right about this heinous bill.

Chuck Schummer needs to be fired immediately.

[Acyn @Acyn]

Taylor: The day that I decided to quit that administration was the day when a mentor of mine from capitol hill had died. His name was John McCain. The flags were at half staff around the country, and the president was trying to call us in Australia on the other side of the world, to say, not put out a statement in honor of John McCain, but to say, raise the flags back up. I don't care if you agreed with John McCain or disagreed. It didn't matter like Bob Mueller, he served this country in uniform. He was a sitting united States senator. He deserved to be honored with the flags at half staff—for the president of the United States to be so petty, so small and petty, to tell us to raise the flags back up in an act of active dishonor, tells you everything you need to know about that man and his lack of integrity and character.

[Timothy Snyder @TimothyDSnyder]

The Trump administration is excusing murder by ICE using the same lies as those told by Maduro’s regime. These lies are part of the logic of death squads. The government controls the story and the next murder is easier. And suddenly this is normal and people simply disappear.

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

Only Russia is the source of this war, the reason the war is being dragged out, and it deserves all retaliatory strikes and pressure for everything it does against life and people, against diplomacy, against partners.

We carefully monitor and document every attempt by the Russians to undermine our relations with partners. We see which lobbyists Moscow is engaging, through whom it is trying to act, which internal operations it is attempting to launch in Ukraine and in Europe. Our response will be tangible – through our special services, through our intelligence agencies, through political cooperation with our partners, and, in particular, through sanctions.

What is important is that the U.S. Congress is back in motion on tougher sanctions against Russia – targeting Russian oil. This can truly work. I thank everyone who is helping.

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

War is back in vogue and a zeal for war is spreading. The principle established after the Second World War, which prohibited nations from using force to violate the borders of others, has been completely undermined. #Peace is no longer sought as a gift and a desirable good in itself. Instead, peace is sought through weapons as a condition for asserting one’s own dominion. This gravely threatens the rule of law, which is the foundation of all peaceful civil coexistence.

[Hillary Clinton @HillaryClinton]

Five years ago today, Donald Trump urged his supporters to attack Congress and the Capitol over a proven lie. More than 140 police officers were injured.

Trump then pardoned the attackers.

He betrayed his oath and his country, and we won't ever forget it.

[Senator Mark Kelly @SenMarkKelly]

Over twenty-five years in the U.S. Navy, thirty-nine combat missions, and four missions to space, I risked my life for this country and to defend our Constitution – including the First Amendment rights of every American to speak out. I never expected that the President of the United States and the Secretary of Defense would attack me for doing exactly that.

My rank and retirement are things that I earned through my service and sacrifice for this country. I got shot at. I missed holidays and birthdays. I commanded a space shuttle mission while my wife Gabby recovered from a gunshot wound to the head– all while proudly wearing the American flag on my shoulder. Generations of servicemembers have made these same patriotic sacrifices for this country, earning the respect, appreciation, and rank they deserve.

Pete Hegseth wants to send the message to every single retired servicemember that if they say something he or Donald Trump doesn’t like, they will come after them the same way. It’s outrageous and it is wrong. There is nothing more un-American than that.

If Pete Hegseth, the most unqualified Secretary of Defense in our country’s history, thinks he can intimidate me with a censure or threats to demote me or prosecute me, he still doesn’t get it. I will fight this with everything I’ve got — not for myself, but to send a message back that Pete Hegseth and Donald Trump don’t get to decide what Americans in this country get to say about their government.
