CAUCACITY is Donald Trump disparaging Michelle Obama for years, ridiculing her looks, calling her nasty, and white folks expecting her to attend his inaugural.

It’s JD Vance disrespecting Kamala Harris and calling her “trash,” and white folks expecting her to give him a tour of the VP residence.

It’s disgusting to see people excuse white men for disrespecting Black women and then disparage Black women for not bowing down and kissing the rings of the white men who disrespected them.

This is why I say whiteness is an unrelenting, demonic, force of evil.

So it's dangerous for China to have the ability to access our data and manipulate us via social media apps.

But it's okay for America's billionaires to have the ability to access our data and manipulate us via social media apps.

Do I have this right?

[Andrea Junker @Strandjunker]

It has been said before, but it bears repeating: the elderly who’ve worked their entire lives to get $800 a month on Social Security aren’t bankrupting America. It’s tax-evading billionaires like Trump who are bleeding this country dry.

[The Intellectualist @highbrow_nobrow]

Here is Pete Hegseth, Trump’s nominee for Secretary of Defense, fervently supporting the January 6 rally and promoting false election claims at the Ellipse—the very rally that incited an insurrection, bringing U.S. democracy to the brink of collapse.

The largest donor in the 2024 election, who also happens to be the richest man in the world, tried to hijack negotiations over a spending bill and nearly pushed us to the brink of a disastrous government shutdown.

Good lord do we need to overturn Citizens United.

[Senator Lisa Blunt Rochester @SenLBR]

Just as I did when I entered the House, I’m leaving today - having cast my last vote as a member - laser-focused on finding bipartisan solutions, governing responsibly, & putting Delawareans first.

Thank you, @RepJeffries for your leadership & friendship throughout this journey.

School shooting in Madison, WI. Police chief said,
“Stop asking why schools don’t have bullet proof glass & metal detectors at all the doors. Ask why schools HAVE to. That’s the question that needs to be asked.”

FL Sen. Rick Scott Scammed Medicare. Plead the 5th 75x.
As CEO of Columbia/HCAA, Scott defrauded Medicare, Medicaid & other programs. The DoJ won 14 felony convictions against them. They were fined $1.7B—the largest healthcare fraud settlement in US history. He still got a >$310M parachute.

BREAKING: Kyrsten Sinema and Joe Manchin KILL Biden nominee for Nat'l Labor Relations Board (NLRB), which would've meant Dem majority till '26

Instead Trump gets to set labor rules

So when EVERYONE in America loses overtime - as Project 2025 promises - thank Sinema and Manchin

Hey @TIME hear me out:

maybe, just maybe a rapist and felon shouldn't be the #PersonOfTheYear.

[Republicans against Trump @RpsAgainstTrump]

NEW: Liz Cheney issued a statement in response to Donald Trump’s threat on Meet the Press to jail her over her role in the January 6th committee:

“This morning, President-elect Trump again lied about the January 6th Select Committee, and said members of the Committee 'should go to jail' for carrying out our constitutional responsibilities. Here is the truth: Donald Trump attempted to overturn the 2020 presidential election and seize power. He mobilized an angry mob and sent them to the United States Capitol, where they attacked police officers, invaded the building and halted the official counting of electoral votes. Trump watched on television as police officers were brutally beaten and the Capitol was assaulted, refusing for hours to tell the mob to leave.

This was the worst breach of our Constitution by any president in our nation’s history. Donald Trump’s suggestion that members of Congress who later investigated his illegal and unconstitutional actions should be jailed is a continuation of his assault on the rule of law and the foundations of our republic.”

@JMJ2in1 @jimbretzke It’s rhetoric like this that turns many people off to ProLifers. Why do PL advocates have to make things up and slander dedicated public servants to make their arguments? Surely the person writing this knows that constitutional amendments can’t be made by exec order.

@girlziplocked Actually, I had a close friend in the 90s who worked hard to gain entry into a trades program for carpentry. She was told over and over “no girls.” I’d love to think it would be different now, but . . .

[Protect Kamala Harris ✊ @DisavowTrump20]

This is Cecile Richards. The daughter of Texas Governor Ann Richards, she served as as the President of Planned Parenthood for over 12 years. Today, President Biden awarded her the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

RETWEET to thank @CecileRichards for her life of service!

Ramaswamy and Elon are unelected bureaucrats planning to tear down the economy that the Wall Street Journal said is the "most robust economy in the history of the U.S."
Destroying America from within, without firing a shot -- the Putin plan.
