Our allies around the world aren’t afraid of us — they’re disgusted. Thanks to Trump’s “diplomacy,” they see a nation that’s lost its mind. In just six months, we’ve gone from “leaders of the free world” to pariahs “flirting with fascism.” www.americanprogress.org/article/trum...

Things you say when you're a Russian asset.

I’d love to know where the constant belittling of the ‘sleepy’ president is from the press? Where is the 24/7 media coverage ostracizing the ‘sleepy’ president? Where the F is the media?

Meals on Wheels serves 2.4 million homebound seniors annually. How can we allow this… 😳

😂😂😂 Republican Mike Lawler gives a non-answer to a question about tariffs at his town hall tonight in Rockland Cty, NY and the audience starts chanting "blah blah blah. BLAH BLAH BLAH" Perfection. #mikelawler

Another brutal headline for Mike Lawler this morning: 'GOP Rep. Mike Lawler Loses It, Rages On Voters For Voicing Concerns Over Cuts' The sub-head rubs salt in the wound: 'GOP Representative Mike Lawler lost his cool...' Yikes! #NY17

A $5,000 bonus to have a child, brought to you by the people who asked an astronaut if 100 tampons would be enough for six days.

DOGE wasn’t meant to save taxpayers money. 💵 💰 It was a successful attempt to gut agencies who regulate and audit billionaires like Musk to enrich them. A senate investigation estimates Elon Musk alone will benefit by at least 2.37 billion. (see article below by TylerMcBrien)

While colleagues staged a sit-in on the Capitol steps, Chuck Schumer went on TV to show off his strongly-worded letter to a President who doesn't read and his staff who eat Dem weakness for breakfast. @schumer.senate.gov, at this point, 'tis more than a flesh wound. Step down. ---The Reformers

Epic new shirt waiting for me when I got home 😍

COURAGE is CONTAGIOUS 🧨 …don’t let the bullies win.

It isn’t sustainable when 800 billionaires own this much of the country’s wealth. 💰 🫣 (source: Robert Reich)

I'm looking forward to her big speech on Wednesday. www.politico.com/news/2025/04...

THE BIG STEAL 💰 How will Elon profit from stealing our data from the government… www.politico.com/news/2025/02...

So the @repmikelawler.bsky.social town hall was apparently OFF THE HOOK. Total bedlam. They were throwing people out for having cameras so all the footage is stealth. But I know many people who were there & it was brutal for him. Here’s him attempting to defend Hegseth. I’ll post more as I get it.

My mom would’ve died in 2017 without Narcan. Trump and RFK Jr. want to leave families to bury their loved ones. This isn’t fighting opioids — if you voted Trump thinking he was going to save your family from this plague, they’re getting a death sentence instead. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/25/h...

it took you this long?

Very interesting. CC: @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social

Trump has always wanted to be a King. He loves gaudy gold things. He even has a gold toilet. He needs to flush away his hopes of being the King of America. America does not have a King, we have presidents and a democracy. So damn sick of Trump and his MAGA crazy cult trying to end America.

Why are Elon’s twenty-something children being given access to our nation’s nuclear secrets. 🤔 I mean, are they even old enough to shave…🪒 🫣 www.npr.org/2025/04/28/n...

Why does the White House insist Bukele won’t “smuggle” Abrego Garcia back to the United States? Who the f thinks he has to be smuggled? Put him on a plane and meet it at an airport where he could be taken into custody and given due process. C’mon WHPC! Ask the obvious question!

Hands down (or thumbs down?) the best photograph from Mike Lawler’s disastrous town hall tonight is this one of @brookemalloy.bsky.social - the fierce Executive Director of the Rockland County Pride Center - signaling her disapproval of the GOP Congressman. #NY17

The reviews are coming in for Mike Lawler’s #NY17 town hall, and they are not pretty…

Nevertheless, Spring persists and we shall too! #Gardening🌱 #EastCoastKin #WriteWhale

Forget about Saquon Barkley skinning and grinning with Trump. Pay attention to Barkley and other past and present members of the Philadelphia eagles participating in a Christian multi-level marketing scam that sounds like a cross between Amway, Carlton Sheets and Promise Keepers.

Bravo Rockland County! www.nytimes.com/2025/04/27/n... #mikelawler

“If Trump gets rid of Medicaid or reduces its benefits, it would be a death sentence for my son.” This is just ONE story out of Colorado. #HandsOffOurMedicaid

I have faith in you, Canada 🇨🇦! I know you won't let Pierre "Trumpy" Poilievre win!

Trump is melting down over his poll numbers. Here’s why. 🍼 #nytpoll

@paramountpictures.bsky.social this is unfortunate. Bill Owens was an asset , 60 minutes was a solid program. Paramount has good talent & great portfolio. To see her capitulating to a corrupt grp of thugs currently in power is brand damaging. Put the merger on hold for the sake of integrity

"Tax the rich" is a much simpler phrase that clearly articulates a plan to deal with the wealthy interlopers trying to control every aspect of our lives. No idea why leftists decided to abandon it for their five dollar word du jour. I'm sure they'll all be here shortly to pretend to explain why.

Exclaiming "this is more radical and more interesting than I expected" after ignoring the centerpiece of Trump's platform until AFTER he was elected. The Fourth Estate is dead.

In 2026, America will turn 250 years old. But if we want to last another 250 years, we need to confront the extreme concentration of wealth that's come at the expense of working people. That's where AMERICA 250: The Money Agenda comes in: patrioticmillionaires.org/perspectives...

Why stop at posters. Why not just put severed heads on sticks? Depravity at it’s finest.

I called @schumer.senate.gov Please step aside from leadership. A strongly worded letter to lunatics with machine guns is not meeting the moment we are in. #SchumerStepDown You can too 202 224 3121

😔I’d like to take a moment to acknowledge Finnish president Alexander Stubb, who visibly reacted to our PO(S)TUS’ behavior at Pope Francis’ funeral in the only appropriate way possible. We feel you, sir.👈🤔

Seriously, though: If we are not fighting tooth and nail for medically complex disabled children to stay alive, then what the heck are we doing??? #ProtectMedicaid

Folks... Can you sign and share? www.change.org/p/rescind-no...

They are stealing your money every time they pass more tax breaks for the richest 1%. Wake up.

👀

The Supreme Court and News Media standing idly by don't seem to understand that They're Next.

🇨🇦Let’s go Mark Carney! A strong Canada requires a strong leader. 🇨🇦

Why do we support raising taxes on wealthy people (like ourselves)? Because we've read history books, and we know what happens to people like us when we concentrate society's wealth at the top for a select few. We know what an economically unequal society leads to.

The whiny little bitch is blaming the media, including Fox, for his dismal approval ratings that he himself is responsible for.

A full-time minimum wage worker earns $15,080. The poverty line for a one-person household is now $15,650. The federal minimum wage is now OFFICIALLY a poverty wage. If this isn’t the wake-up call that Congress needs to finally act, we don’t know what is. www.epi.org/blog/the-fed...

Narcissistic pig is having a meltdown. Must be his monthly cycle.

Of course the blue local businesses 💙

Warren Buffet speaks the simple truth about paying taxes The Rich should pay their fair share Trump, Musk, DOGE, GOP & greedy Corporations have declared WAR on US taking away our Rights Jobs Health Lives Who will stop them & fight for US? obamawhitehouse.archives.gov/sites/defaul... #VoteOutAllGOP

This for sure!!!

"The Trump administration is reportedly planning to eliminate the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline's specialized services for LGBTQ+ youth... LGBTQ+ youth are more than four times as likely to attempt suicide than their peers." www.newsweek.com/trump-shutti...

So - an addendum to a National Defense Appropriations Act is one thing. This appears to be a farther reaching other: congress.gov/115/plaws/pu... section 253 (as well as item 3 of section 257). It’s against Ukraine’s constitution, against International Law **and** against U.S. Law.

#TransRights continue to be attacked. The UK Supreme Court ruled that the legal definition of “woman” refers to those born biologically female. But people are not silent: “It’s one hell of a turnout. There’s a really strong sense of unity and solidarity. It’s like nothing I’ve ever seen before.”

The cartoonists have it!

Trump is doing all he can to ban clean energy and sacrifice our planet to polluters. But while the damage he is doing is real and devastating, he can't stop our states from fighting climate change. Climate progress is as alive as ever in states like California, Illinois, New York, and Washington.

Why we got wealthy Black celebrities lining up to let Trump parade them around like his newest acquisitions at a slave market

AOC nails it: " We'll rally every corner of the United States of America until we save Medicaid and Medicare for every American until we defend social security. And we tell them who's really in charge in this country." #HandsOffOurMedicaid

🚨 I am a senior citizen — I have been for years. I just learned from my pharmacy that my Medicare coverage has been canceled. WTAF?

“rare atmospheric phenomenon.” "REN said that “due to extreme temperature variations in the interior of Spain, there were anomalous oscillations in the very high voltage lines (400 KV), a phenomenon known as ‘induced atmospheric vibration.’” www.msn.com/en-us/news/n...

If DOGE got access, then Putin got access.

and furthermore, the false stereotype of "lazy Black person" is and always has been projection.

Translation: Trump's seeing all his abysmal first 100 days polling.

Medicaid is essential for many babies, families, and seniors. The most vulnerable people need help to survive. Millionaires and billionaires don’t really need another yacht or another home or another car. They need to pay their fair share and help the needy. It’s the right thing to do.

100days later and I imagined destruction. Never imagined this much! 💔🇺🇸💔

Asking whether Trump should be impeached for making impeachable offenses is like asking whether Democrats should defend trans folks or criticize Trump on illegal deportations. Even in politics, some things are not about politics. Instead they are simply about right vs. wrong.

I woke up this morning thinking again that I will never forgive Mitch McConnell. He could have spared us this godawful administration with one vote. That’s all. A vote and the MFer’s political career would have been over and done with. 🖕

Tyranny is here now

Democrats believe in investing in our future: affordable healthcare, quality education, and a fair shot for all. Republicans prioritize tax breaks for billionaires and corporations, while rural areas will be the ones to pay the steepest price. #HandsOffOurMedicaid

Nope! Ain’t waitin till #Caturday 😂😂

"Powerful spending reforms" means one thing. It's not something to celebrate: Big beautiful tax cuts for the rich paid for on the backs of millions of vulnerable Americans who may become homeless or dead as a result of program cuts. It's cruelty & contempt for 90% of America. #HandsOffOurMedicaid

Workers in 600+ cities in all 50 states are planning to protest against Trump’s billionaire agenda on May Day (May 1). We can’t think of a better way to commemorate #InternationalWorkersDay! It's time we #TaxTheRich and #PayThePeople. www.commondreams.org/news/may-day...

KKKaroline Leavitt unabashedly pushing to make America white again.

This is how it’s done.

Short of Minority Leader, the Ranking Member on Oversight is arguably the most visible position within the Democratic caucus, and one that requires an energetic fighter who can draw the necessary attention to Trump’s misdeeds. Let’s hope Democrats choose wisely. www.axios.com/2025/04/28/a...

Trump wants you to join him tomorrow to celebrate his first historic 100 days in Office. And it has been historic, but not in the way he thinks.

If you are the 100th person in line to fight the gorilla please stay in line he will be with you shortly.
