I am an Earthling, like yourself, looking for fresh fruit and veggies, nuts and berries, clean air, water and land, peace and quiet, healthy trees, and friends.

Donald Trump is a criminal fraudster, a prolific liar, sociopath, and completely untrustworthy, a corrupt, kleptocratic menace to America. Vote to expel his Republican cohorts at every level of government in the US: Senate, House of Representatives, states, cities and towns.

Wow, wait until @stephenm discovers this *left wing* organization advocating mass killing.

Glad Stephen and Laura are calling for outlets like this to be defunded. Bring on the IRS investigation!!!

[Primate Seven @primate7]

Investigate and prosecute Trump and his cohorts for widespread sabotage on America.

[The Tennessee Holler @TheTNHoller]

GOV. @GavinNewsom: “I don’t think Trump wants another election — who spends $200 Million on a ballroom then leaves? He tried to light democracy on fire… this is simply the most destructive and damaging individual in my lifetime.”

Jeffries: Epstein was a friend of Trump.. Why do we think Biden’s or Obama's names are being invoked? Because Donald Trump is running scared. What are they hiding from the American people? Release the files.

[Andrew Bates @AndrewBatesNC]

A @POTUS who called the most infamous pedophile in modern history his great friend doesn’t want folks to understand the circumstances around which that pedophile friend died.

But we can be sure that pedophile’s other friends got a tax cut.

[EU says Elon should not lie abt my blue check @emptywheel]

Huh. Looks like @FBIDDBongino has barely tweeted since he had to take a personal fee fee day a few weeks back because he was so emotional about the Epstein coverup.

Is he still an emotional wreck about the Epstein coverup?

[Alex Padilla @AlexPadilla4CA]

False.

ICE’s own data contradicts the Secretary’s claims. Over 70% of people in ICE detention have no criminal convictions.

[Ted Lieu @tedlieu]

Under Trump and Republicans, the economy is getting worse. A 99 year old Michigan clock company is going out of business due to tariffs and other economic conditions.

And the GOP’s Big Ugly Bill will make things worse by increasing healthcare costs.

[Democratic Wins Media @DemocraticWins]

BREAKING: Hakeem Jeffries just publicly called for Donald Trump to release this Epstein files. Trump’s running scared and Democrats are going to hold him accountable. Let’s go.

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

Americans’ electricity bills are predicted to rise by as much as 18% over the next decade, thanks to cuts to clean energy production in Trump’s big, ugly bill.

Red states are likely to see the biggest increases.

Trump put his Big Oil donors over his own voters.

[Sen. Elissa Slotkin @SenatorSlotkin]

Law enforcement should be required to identify themselves. We've seen police, wearing hoodies & masks, make arrests that look more like kidnappings in an authoritarian country. With reports of people impersonating ICE, our bill is more important than ever. https://t.co/zApJyfZtI3

[Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley]

Democracies don’t censor the press. Republican attempts to slash the Corporation for Public Broadcasting’s budget, which Trump called “radical” and “woke,” are thinly veiled attempts to do just that.

We can’t sleepwalk into authoritarianism. I’m fighting like hell for a free press.

[Secrets and Laws @secretsandlaws]

I've been obsessed with Trump saying he "wished her well" regarding Ghislaine Maxwell, and how neither the media nor Dems have made an issue about it. It turns out @jonathanvswan did ask him about back in 2020, and holy shit, his answer then is even worse. Follow along.

[Rep. Frank Pallone @FrankPallone]

Pam Bondi just axed 20+ DOJ staff who worked on the Jan. 6 and classified docs cases. Why? Because in Trump’s America, the crime isn’t breaking the law, it’s enforcing it.

[Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal]

Bondi needs to come clean to Americans—disclose concealed facts surrounding career prosecutor firings & politically dropped prosecutions. Only transparency will dispel misinformation & stop her shredding credibility. DOJ, justice & Americans deserve it—now.

[FactPost @factpostnews]

Leader @HakeemJeffries: There are only two things that are possible here. Option 1, Trump, Bondi, and MAGA extremists lied for years about the Jeffrey Epstein situation. Option 2, they're engaging in a cover up. At this point it seems reasonable that it can only be 1 of the 2 things. So it's Congress's responsibility in a bipartisan way to ask the questions and get answers on behalf of the American people

[Richard W. Painter @RWPUSA]

Like many bills in Congress this is the best crypto legislation that money can buy. When I pointed out the massive campaign contributions, @SenJohnKennedy called me a "whack job."

[Anna Bower @AnnaBower]

DOJ whistleblower Erez Reuveni says Drew Ensign made a false statement to Judge Boasberg during a hearing on Alien Enemies Act removals.

If Reuveni’s right, it wasn’t the only time Ensign misled the court.

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

Almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or sought better lives for themselves and their descendants.

Politicians who stoke fear and hatred over immigration want you to forget this.

Do not.
