6th gen. VTer, love and believe in democracy, I’m only still here to resist. Tweets are my own.

[Republicans against Trump @RpsAgainstTrump]

WATCH: Professor Scott Galloway absolutely destroys Elon Musk:

“His legacy is not going to be an EV, or putting rockets into space. I think it’s going to be unnecessary death, disease and disability of the world’s most vulnerable.”

[Tom Santos @tommysantos14]

When Trump leaves office:

The Department of War will go back to being the Defense Department.

The Trump Kennedy Center will go back to being the Kennedy Center.

The Gulf of America will once again be the Gulf of Mexico.

The unfinished East Wing (it won't be finished by the end of Trump's term) will be rebuilt by the next president, and it will not be a ballroom.

Federal agencies packed with unqualified loyalists will fire those people and rehire the career experts Trump fired.

The Department of Justice will go back to enforcing the law instead of protecting the president.

Scientific agencies like NOAA, the EPA, and the CDC will go back to publishing research without political interference.

The U.S. will re-align with its allies and not with its enemies.

The presidential pardon power will stop being used as a rewards program for loyalists.

Inspectors General will go back to investigating corruption instead of getting fired for it.

The White House press room will go back to having briefings, with real journalists and not podcasters.

U.S. foreign policy will stop revolving around flattering dictators.

And the world will progress as though Donald Trump never existed.

[Steven Beschloss @StevenBeschloss]

No matter how long I live after we get through this dark chapter, I will never get over the immorality, the amorality, the corruption, the criminality and the cruelty in service to one of the worst humans to ever walk the earth.

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

This is the single most important point that most Americans are probably unaware of because our media sucks and the Democratic leadership sucks

[CALL TO ACTIVISM @CalltoActivism]

OMG - This really just happened:

BALINT: This is not a game, secretary.

BONDI: I am Attorney General.

BALINT: My apologies; I couldn't tell.

[Gavin Newsom @GavinNewsom]

Now do Stephen Miller

[Derek Coffrin @dcoffrin]

100% agree. Newsom isn’t my first choice, but there is a need for the voice of opposition, both for democracy and for the media to turn to for reaction. It should be Schumer and Jeffries (McConnell was effective during the Obama terms). Clearly, they’re not up to the task.

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

Remarkable to see Newsom basically acting like a Leader of the Opposition for the US, a role that doesn’t exist in our non-parliamentary system, and it’s both necessary for American democracy and good for his 2028 presidential chances.

[Bill Kristol @BillKristol]

Greenland is not mentioned once in the official Trump administration National Security Strategy, issued less than two months ago.

[Rep. Don Bacon 🇺🇸✈️🏍️⭐️🎖️ @RepDonBacon]

Congress must reclaim tariff authorities. There’s a reason James Madison put tariff authorities under Article One.

[Richard Stengel @stengel]

The president's threat to impose tariffs on countries that oppose his desire to acquire Greenland shows that he does not see tariffs as an economic tool to help America, but as a weapon to hurt his enemies. That's the fundamental nature of his entire presidency.

[Acyn @Acyn]

Buttigieg: In a country that amended its constitution so you could not purchase a beer and then realized it was a bad idea and amended it back, surely we can have an amendment clarifying that a corporation is not a person and money is not speech.

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

Because of Trump's “Big Beautiful Bill,” the annual ICE budget — at $28 billion — is now larger than the annual budgets of the FBI, DEA, ATF, U.S. Marshals Service and the Bureau of Prisons COMBINED.

No. The American people do not want Trump's domestic army.

[Michael McFaul @McFaul]

Denmark is a member of NATO, which means China and Russia will never attack, let alone invade, Greenland. Our president is making completely absurd statements right now, which are extremely damaging to our reputation and thus national security.

[Marco Foster @MarcoFoster_]

Mark Ruffalo on Donald Trump: “The guy is a convicted felon, a convicted rapist, he’s a pedophile. He’s the worst human being in the world. If we’re relying on this guy’s morality then we’re all in a lot of trouble. I love this country and what I’m seeing here is not America”

[Marco Foster @MarcoFoster_]

Dave Matthews: “I don’t want my taxes to pay for ICE masked thugs to roam our streets and terrorize our communities. Renee Nicole Good, murdered in the streets. He shot her three times in the head. Murdered in cold blood. These people are trying to tell us not to believe what we see. Fuck ICE”

[Jo @JoJoFromJerz]

No — We didn’t forget about the Epstein files.

[Kaitlan Collins @kaitlancollins]

NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani responds to Secretary Noem: "If that is 'following his training,' then I think there are larger questions about the training that's being provided to ICE agents."

[Foreign Policy CAN @CanadaFP]

Canada supports Denmark’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, including Greenland. Minister Anand will be in Nuuk in the coming weeks to officially open Canada's consulate, further strengthening our engagement with a strong Arctic ally.

[Jon Favreau @jonfavs]

What the fuck is wrong with you?

You have no idea who this woman was. You have no idea what she believed. You have no idea what an actual investigation might show. A 37-year-old American citizen was killed. Her 6-year-old son has been orphaned. Her family and friends are going through the worst moment of their lives. And all you can do is call her a "deranged leftist"?

Seriously what the fuck is wrong with you?
