Buttigieg: We didn't know it, but we've all been trusting our lives to the restraint of whoever the president might be. And now we have a president who is completely unrestrained. And so the only answer to that is a functioning Congress.
It turns out we do not have a functioning Congress. The House of Representatives is not representative. One of the most important organs of our democracy is not democratic.
They say, "Oh, no. We're not manipulating the map to disempower black people. We're manipulating the map to disempower Democrats who happen to be black people.”
So, the time has come to make it impossible to manipulate the map for any reason and just have fair maps.
I’ve been thinking a lot about the extraordinary outbursts of the President of the United States against female journalists... well, actually against journalists in general and journalism. But it feels like he saves his most childlike behavior and irrational language for female reporters, calling them all kinds of names that kids in kindergarten are given times out for. It’s stunning to me to witness such behavior from any leader, any CEO, any person of influence or importance. I’ve never witnessed someone like this raging, this weekend with @meetthepress host @kwelkernbc, just last week in the Oval Office with @cnn’s @kaitlancollins, calling women stupid or piggy, telling them to “smile”, calling them darling, demeaning their credibility. Every good man should denounce this behavior. Every person should be able to stand up for their colleagues and say “No more.”
Imagine this man screaming like this at your daughter, your wife, your sister, your mother... would you stand for it? No, you wouldn’t! And neither should any of us. It’s unacceptable and undignified. Period. End of story.

Zelensky arrived, the crowd applauded. And then this happened:
🇺🇸 veteran: You’re a saviour of the people
Zelensky: No, no, you saved Europe
🇺🇸 veteran: My hero
Zelensky: No, you are our hero

@realtimsharp You are a disgrace. Disgusting. Find something real in your life to anchor to and straighten out your life. Learn to be decent instead of projecting your hate, hurt, and damage onto other people who don't deserve it. Heal yourself and get lost with the lying BS.
Yeah, let's all stop funding public schools, and let's stop paying for roads, utilities, police & fire depts, and every other shared resource in our society.
This is so incredibly selfish, childish, greedy, and short-sighted. Also, dumb.
@wavesandgrace@blueshirtday1@HunterBiden@Suzierizzo1 What is actually wrong with you?
I'm saying make it fair. FAIR.
You keep acting like I'm for draining the wealthy of everything and giving it all away. I'm not saying that and you know it.
JFC just stop.
@wavesandgrace@blueshirtday1@HunterBiden@Suzierizzo1 If my data is wrong, what's your correct data then? Show your work or else you're just BSing.
Again no one likes to pay taxes, literally no one, but we need roads, utilities, schools, etc. That's the cost of living in a civilized society instead of a Mad Max world.
@wavesandgrace@blueshirtday1@HunterBiden@Suzierizzo1 If we must be taxed, there's no sense that lower-wage workers pay more proportionally than the astronomically wealthy pay. Not theft. Fairness. It's creating a healthy society. What is wrong with you that you think regular people deserve to suffer while the rich prosper?
@wavesandgrace@blueshirtday1@HunterBiden@Suzierizzo1 You have a problem with creating a system where really wealthy people still get to be wealthy - this is wealth created through the labor of OTHER PEOPLE - and the people who helped to create that wealth get a fair share. It used to be like that. Now it's not.
@badbingoboogie@SenSanders That is bullshit and you know it.
Also: they're not illegals, they're human beings, you stone cold idiot.

Within a corrupt political system, here is an inspiring story which speaks to the beauty and strength of democracy and what we can accomplish when we work together.
In April 2025, as part of our Fighting Oligarchy tour, I held a rally in Missoula, Montana. As we almost always do at our rallies, we invited local union leaders to address the crowd and say a few words about issues impacting their communities. One of those local union leaders was a National Forest firefighter named Sam Forstag, who discussed how Donald Trump and Elon Musk's DOGE had just fired thousands of federal employees — including many in Montana.
As a result of that rally and the 9,000 people there who responded very positively to his remarks, Sam, who had never run for public office before, decided to take on the Establishment and run for the U.S. Congress as a proud member of the American working class.
Guess what? On Tuesday, June 2, after putting together a strong grassroots coalition, Sam Forstag won the Democratic Party’s primary in the First District of Montana. And, with our help, he’ll soon become Congressman Sam Forstag.
@blueshirtday1@wavesandgrace@HunterBiden@Suzierizzo1 Exactly. And the sad part is that $1 million isn't what it used to be, but it could make such a difference in SO MANY people's lives, while he wouldn't even miss any of that money.
This graphic shows the insanity. And people are defending it?!

@wavesandgrace@blueshirtday1@HunterBiden@Suzierizzo1 I am just seeing that you a follower of Benny Johnson and Dan Bongino, and now I understand why you think billionaires are not evil while everything else in this country is in decline and the wealth gap is criminally immoral.
Carry on.
@wavesandgrace@blueshirtday1@HunterBiden@Suzierizzo1 Jeff Bezos has unfathomable money while Amazon warehouse workers have to fight for a decent living and to get pee breaks. He's also running the Washington Post into the ground, a disservice to the whole country.
How you defend this gross, absurd inequality is nuts.
