A message to all sane Republicans:

He pardoned 1,600 violent criminals.
You said nothing.

He bulldozed the East Wing.
You said nothing.

He interfered with the release of the Epstein files. You said nothing.

He took over the Kennedy Center and renamed it after himself. You said nothing.

He accepted a $400 million airplane as a personal gift. You said nothing.

He threatened Canada, Cuba, Denmark, Greenland, Venezuela, Colombia, and Brazil. You said nothing.

He tariffed just about everyone but Russia, causing inflation and instability worldwide. You said nothing.

He attacked a nation during mediated negotiations. You said nothing.

His ill-conceived war killed 175 children on day one. You said nothing.

He alienated and insulted our allies. You said nothing.

His ICE Army terrorized and murdered U.S. citizens. You said nothing.

He committed murder on the high seas. You said nothing.

He co-opted the Justice Department and directed it to prosecute his political enemies. You said nothing.

It’s time to start talking.

Putin has never faced a free election. He killed opponents, jailed others, and rewrote the constitution to rule indefinitely

Yet it’s Zelenskyy - elected in a free and fair vote - whose legitimacy gets questioned

Macron had said it best: Zelenskyy was elected. Putin was not

[Ron Filipkowski @RonFilipkowski]

Lisa Murkowski and John Thune deserve this. Trying to exempt Alaska from odious parts of this bill to buy her vote is overruled by parliamentarian. https://t.co/RlXfWgbOMc

So how would someone 'earn' citizenship?? Only white rich folks? Who administers the test? Who creates the test? How much would it cost?? This is just racism in all its ugliness. The issue is all are created equal

[Allnoles @HMardenborough]

Well the founding fathers were all long dead when the 14th was adopted. And it was adopted at a specific time to deal with a specific issue (not anchor babies either).

The reality is this is not a clear win either way. May even make a nice moot court problem an an academic exercise.

[Bookgirl Jelkin @conjelkin]

Estimated Costs:

During his first term: Approximately $151.5 million was spent on Trump's golf outings at his own courses.

(up to March 2025): The estimated taxpayer cost reached over $26 million for golf excursions, with projections nearing $30 million by early April 2025.

[Jersey Joe @jerseyjoeTalks]

False choice. Taxpayers didn’t fund Trump’s golf trips his businesses charged for security logistics like every president before him. Meanwhile, “free” daycare isn’t free. It’s paid by working Americans who didn’t ask to bankroll someone else’s personal responsibilities.

Charity is noble. Forced dependence is not.

[Bookgirl Jelkin @conjelkin]

lon Musk's companies, primarily Tesla and SpaceX, have received at least $38 billion in government funding through contracts, loans, subsidies, and tax credits over the last two decades. This funding has played a significant role in the growth of these companies.

[Jersey Joe @jerseyjoeTalks]

You're comparing national defense, private innovation, and presidential travel to handouts? Musk’s rockets are private-sector innovation pushing humanity forward not welfare. But taxpayer-funded baby baskets and free meals for everyone? That’s not compassion, it’s cradle-to-grave dependence.

If you want to help people, promote jobs, not handouts.

@ThrillaRilla369 White people who get all their knowledge about poor people on social media is comedy and easy to point out lol

[Bookgirl Jelkin @conjelkin]

Exactly. Reagan taught people to hate the poor. Why not turn that rage to Big Companies that don't pay a living wage, health care that is unaffordable and the gap between those who have and those that don't growing larger.

[Mad Dawg @MadDawg411]

@ThrillaRilla369 I’d rather crackheads and lazy degenerates get benefits than the treasonous scum politicians - Your sentiment is directed at the wrong villains.

[Lesley Abravanel 🪩 @lesleyabravanel]

Anyone have video of Hegseth's hissy fit? The Euros are all texting and laughing at what a clown he is and asking if he had some Schnapp's before this performance.

@Acyn Well I'm only viewing this as a voter reading this on social media but it sure AF looks to me like Ossof is the only one in this exchange who is being direct, honest & forthcoming. Collins is clearly obfuscating the requested data w/o explanation or justification.

[sɴᴀʀᴋᴀsᴛɪᴄ sʜᴇɴᴀɴɪɢᴀɴs™️ 🇺🇸🇬🇧🇺🇦🇱🇻𓍝 @The_HistOracle]

@Acyn You come in with a PowerPoint claiming $17 billion in cuts but have no clue from where. They have Big Balls proteges out there running things through AI & giving PowerPoints without even reading them ahead of time. RFK Jr. did this. Now Collins.

[Bookgirl Jelkin @conjelkin]

So glad to see you support Universal Healthcare for all.

[Pacheco the Ghost @PMtalking]

@Acyn No one cares that Medicaid insurance is a massive waste of money. People wait three to five months to be seen for basic services. Referrals take up to six months. It's absolute shit and no one cares that we're encouraging dependence.

[Acyn @Acyn]

Ossoff: We usually get this, which specifies how many folks you intend to employ. What we have is a 26-page PowerPoint. Here, it specifies about $17 billion in cuts to medical services. What are you cutting in medical services—specifically, who are you cutting?

Collins: We’ll have more information as we go forward. The numbers have not been cut.

Ossoff: I’m sorry—yes, it has. You have in your PowerPoint here $17 billion in cuts to medical services. This is a 26-page PowerPoint to justify the budget. I don’t know if we have to reconvene after they send us the materials, but I think this is insufficient.

Speaker Johnson put deadly cuts to Medicaid in his bill.
Speaker Johnson denies there are cuts to Medicaid.
Speaker Johnson is a LIAR.

Can we get 1,000 fast RTs and replies using #DontBombMedicaid to make it trend?

Please and thank you. 🙏💪

FUN FACT: Each of us who support Kamala are de facto surrogates for her campaign. So we have to have the talking points at the ready to answer questions or criticism about her or her campaign. So here are a few at the ready:

1) She didn’t pass any great things as VP:

[Brian Krassenstein @krassenstein]

BREAKING: J.D. Vance provided the Wall Street Journal with a police report in which a local resident claimed her pet might have been taken by her Haitian neighbors.

Well, guess what!

A reporter visited Anna Kilgore’s house (pictured below) last night, and she confirmed that her missing cat, Miss Sassy, who disappeared in late August, was actually found safe a few days later—hiding in her own basement. So much for that story!

They keep doubling and tripling down but only make themselves look like even bigger fools.

[Democratic Wins Media @DemocraticWins]

BREAKING: In a stunning admission, one of the most conservative Senators, Senator James Lankford, admits that it was Donald Trump who sabotaged the toughest border security legislation proposed in decades. Retweet to make sure every American sees this
