Ten years ago, the vice president wrote that one day, voters would realize the truth about Donald Trump. That day has now arrived.

Nothing quite captures the spirit of America 250 like promising a century of single party rule if only one party can change election laws.

[Mike Levin @MikeLevin]

Trump just approved $846 million in disaster aid for nine states, and all nine voted for him in 2024.

Americans in blue states pay the same federal taxes and suffer the same floods, fires, and storms as Americans in red states.

No president in history has treated FEMA as a reward for voting the right way. Every American deserves help when disaster strikes, no matter who their governor is or how their state voted.

This is disgraceful and we will not let it stand.

ICE violating its own regulations - again, by refusing to let a detained mother call father to take child. Under ICE’s Detained Parents Directive, ICE is to allow an arrested parent to make alternative care arrangements for their child, which means ICE agents should permit a mother to make phone calls to a family member, or child welfare authority to take custody of the child.

Fascinating study confirming that when American companies win the lottery for H-2B seasonal agricultural visas, they increase output AND end up hiring more Americans than if they don’t succeed in the lottery and can’t hire any guest workers.

An excellent example of how government institutions are retooled to serve the leader's obsessions and self-interested goals.

When I wrote this, I certainly believed it, but I still never imagined it would become vividly and widely exemplified in our society in less than a decade. And yet…

At least Trump made 2b for himself in the last year though.

We may be suffering but we’re still winning because Trump is winning 👍

It's so obvious that right wing accounts are getting distributed talking points. Seventy Million right wingers all saying the same thing about 78° thermostats ... It just isn't a coincidence.

[Rep. Jamie Raskin @RepRaskin]

Liz Oyer, former Pardon Attorney, describes how Todd Blanche fired her when she refused to do a dangerous official favor for Trump friend Mel Gibson. The actor lost his federal firearm rights after committing domestic violence. Gibson assaulted his girlfriend while she was holding their baby daughter, smashing her in the mouth, breaking her teeth, threatening her with his gun. Gibson asked Trump’s DOJ to reinstate his federal firearm rights despite his criminal conviction. Although Blanche had the power to do it on his own, he tried to force Oyer to give her stamp of approval. Not convinced of Gibson’s rehabilitation or his lack of dangerousness, and knowing that over half of women murdered in the United States are killed by a current or past intimate partner, and the presence of firearms in an abusive household increases the risk of murder by 500%, Oyer refused to have anything to do with Blanche’s dangerous and unethical suggestion. Blanche sacked her.

The whole thing is obviously comical, but the fact that the political officials clearly ordered the Department of Energy to delete a recommendation made by actual experts just because of partisan politics is actually pretty bad.

[Travis Akers 🇺🇸 @travisakers]

In the past hour, the Trump admin has deleted their web page that recommended setting thermostats between 75-78 during heat waves, and 85 if you are not home, after the GOP learned that Mayor Mamdani was urging New Yorkers to follow White House guidance.

Literally socialism

[Emma Camp @emmma_camp_]

I think a lot of these people just straight up hate America.

Birthright citizenship, democracy, civil liberties, freedom of speech and religion: these are American values, baby! Deal with it or move to Russia.

[Dave Troy @davetroy]

I just want to reiterate, once again, that America 250 was a congressionally authorized commission created by President Obama in 2014… the nonsense you see here is purely a product of Trump’s “Freedom 250” ersatz grifter mess.

[Jacob Denhollander @JJ_Denhollander]

I like to think that the Founders would be more disturbed by the sort of person Americans are letting into the White House than they would be by the sort of people Americans are letting into the country.

[Jen Rice @jen_rice_]

I doubt many people are going to read the 55-page report "From Vanity to Insanity: How the White House Cheated the American People Out of Their 250th Birthday" put together by Democratic staff of the House Natural Resources Committee so here's how it ends
