Chris Murphy: "This is a country that's falling apart because Trump is in the middle of an authoritarian takeover. We're not on the verge of an authoritarian takeover. We're in the middle of it ... I have no moral obligation to vote for a budget that literally funds the destruction of our democracy"
@greggnunziata The definition of "antifa" is ... anti-fascist.
Hitler and Mussolini were fascists. We went to war to defeat them.
My Dad was also in WWII.
He was definitely anti-Hitler. Everybody was.
This word that has been twisted by Repubs to divide us.
Don't let Repubs mess with you.
She was not wrong.
She was afraid people would rewrite history so she saved over 30 years of TV history on 71,000 VHS Tapes. She at one time maintained nine apartments to store her tapes.
Marion Stokes recorded television nonstop for over 30 years, documenting news, local programs, commercials, sitcoms, and late-night shows.
She began in the 1970s and continued until her death in 2012, using up to eight machines to capture multiple channels like CNN, Fox News, and C-SPAN.
Her goal was to save history and help people find the truth in media. She believed TV networks were throwing away their own archives, but she wanted to save everything as a resource so anyone could look back and check the facts.
She used her own money to fund the project. She became wealthy because she invested in Apple early on.
After she died, her son donated her recordings to the Internet Archive, so one day the public will be able to search and watch this whole record of television history.
The Internet archive claims the exact number tapes are 71,716.
Imagine you're the President.
Imagine you've bragged about being a deal maker.
Imagine you control the House, Senate, White House.
Imagine you've done whatever you wanted, because Republicans won't stop you.
Imagine you once said "The President will be blamed" for a shutdown, because the President was Obama.
NOW imagine trying to make people believe the country is shutdown because of Democrats.
You need 7 VOTES, but you refuse to negotiate with Democrats, while you just negotiated with Hamas.
This is trump's shutdown.

President Trump & Elon Musk want to dismantle the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). That would eliminate free public access to weather forecasts, hurricane tracking, and wildfire alerts. Act now to protect NOAA! https://t.co/ypEAsDKus7
I urge you to oppose Elon Musk’s illegal assault on the U.S. federal government. Musk is an unelected, private citizen who has not been nominated or confirmed by Congress to oversee any government agencies.

#deadlinewh It has been a life long dream of trump to destroy America, why are people shocked at his nominees? I'm so sick of Susan Collins being surprised at what he does.
You know the findings in the House Ethics Committee Report on #gaetz are bad when trump gives yes man Mike Johnson his orders on what to do about that report.
#deadlinewh I'm old enough to remember kids with polio in iron lungs. It's hard to believe the election was only last week. Anybody who believed he didn't know anything about #Project2025 is a sucker. His lying is being proved daily & it's just starting.
