🚨BREAKING: Supreme Court Justice Allison Riggs (D) was sworn in Tuesday after a six-month legal battle against Republican Judge Jefferson Griffin, who sought to overturn the results of the 2024 election. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
Let’s break this down—because the gaslighting is wild:
📌Oct 2022 – Biden signs EO to cut drug prices
📌Jan 2025 – Trump takes office and kills Biden’s EO to cut drug prices
📌May 2025 – Trump signs his own EO to lower drug prices
Trump canceled Biden’s plan then brought it back w/his name on it.
The US trade war strategy regarding China:
- Make it seem like you’re fighting unfair trade practices and the influx of drugs
- Settle for a tax on Chinese goods to subsidize your tax breaks for billionaires
The End
Let’s set aside that Pam Bondi used to rake in $115K a month from Qatar, and now says that “flying grift” is totally fine.
On its face, this jet makes no sense as Air Force One.
Hear me out: There’s supposed to be two identical Air Force One jets…

Trump is shutting down America’s truth-telling platforms while Russian disinformation floods our feeds. This isn’t just a policy shift — it’s a dangerous (and intentional) surrender.

We just wanted to say, we love you. This week has been rough, and we’ve felt every moment of it with you. But everyone in our coalition is safe means everything. We’re so grateful! 🥹 💚
In an era that looked as if it might be defined by an American man of depraved cruelty, corruption & shame, what a magnificent thing the Catholic Church has done. The elevation of an American man of goodness, grace, humility, mercy & faith to the Throne of St. Peter is moving & momentous for us all.
PM Keir Starmer:
“So we are clear, all five leaders here - all the leaders of the meeting we just had with the coalition of the willing - an unconditional ceasefire, rejecting Putin's conditions, and clear that if he turns his back on peace, we will respond.
Stephen Miller, Tom Homan, Kristi Noem and a whole lot of ICE/DHS types is will discover a Strange New Respect for habeas corpus and the rule of law when the 2029 Truth and Reconciliation Commission arrests them for human trafficking, conspiracy, kidnapping, and child abuse.
MAGA wants to ban dual citizenship and strip US citizenship from all dual citizens
Wait till they find out Pope Leo is a dual citizen of the US and Peru
“Every act of compassion is an act of defiance. Every moment of empathy is a refusal to surrender. Every time we choose decency over cruelty, we reclaim a piece of our shared humanity. This is the fight of our time—not for power, but for the soul of our nation.”

BREAKING: Trump to name Fox News host Jeanine Pirro as interim US Attorney for DC
After Senate rejected his last pick, Ed Martin
How many more TV hosts is Trump going to put in serious positions they’re unqualified for?
THIS IS THE US GOVERNMENT — NOT THE CELEBRITY APPRENTICE
On May 9, it will not be the army that won World War II and liberated Europe that will march on Red Square in Moscow.
Occupiers, terrorists, and war criminals will march there. They have killed and are killing, raping, and torturing Ukrainian civilians and children right now.
Teachers deserve more than appreciation—they deserve action. From budget cuts to book bans, and the assault on our Dept. of Education, educators are hurting. On #TeacherAppreciationDay, I’m not just thanking teachers—I’m fighting for them.
No national parks, no museums, no public schools, no affordable healthcare, no public television/radio, no suicide hotlines, no protections for water, food, or air, no early education or nutrition help for needy small children, no science research, no public health, no history or secular literature.
I’m autistic and have special needs.
People used to bully me for just being
myself. I lost confidence. Some still call
me fat or tell me to lose weight. But
I am trying. I’m walking. Healing. Losing
weight. Finding myself again. This is
only the beginning. #NeverGiveUp
Harvard gave Secretary of Education Linda McMahon a grammar lesson, marking up her letter for spelling and punctuation mistakes and sharing it on social media for extra credit.
When the President of the United States says he doesn’t know if he should uphold the Constitution, it should be a searing red line for every American.
If you let him ignore ANY aspect of the Constitution you embolden him to ignore more of it, including the parts that secure YOUR freedoms & rights.
A man who holds the title of President of the United States, who took an oath to protect and defend the Constitution, who then says he doesn’t know if he’d uphold the Constitution, is unfit to be president and should be removed.
It's like living with a violent abuser.
Every day, you're just waiting for it. What's going to set him off? Who's he going to lash out at? What abuse is he going to scream at us today? What's he going to break, because every day he breaks something else.
I don't even have to say his name.
I'm suing the Trump administration over its unconstitutional dismantling of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
Firing scientists, silencing doctors, and shuttering programs that help firefighters breathe and children thrive don't make America healthy.
It puts lives at risk.
Friends,
Several of you said in the comments to the previous post that I should post King Charles saluting Ukrainian Defenders. Here is that video.
We are thankful to the UK for standing with #Ukraine! 🇬🇧🇺🇦
I may be the only lawyer targeted by Trump willing to speak on camera, but for me it wasn't a choice. All of us have an obligation to speak out against what Trump is doing. All of us have an obligation to fight for democracy. I am fortunate to be a lawyer and to have a platform -- and I will use it.
So, Trump went from telling his voters he was going to make things cost less, to telling his voters he’s going to make them go with less.
And they’re STILL telling the rest of us to “cry harder.”
Fucking idiots.
March 2022, Russia occupies about 30 percent of Ukraine. Today? Less than 20 percent at the cost of over 900k casualties. Tell me again how Russia is winning?!?

Walz: "This is how government is supposed to work. It's not supposed to be one old man in the Oval Office sending out middle of the night tweets that shock markets into free fall. It's not supposed to be a bunch of 20 somethings unelected and firing everyone. It's not supposed to be chaos."
When I mow, I always make sure to wear a shirt to irritate any Trump people who drive by. I use a push mower…so I’m standing up straight and tall. I don’t want anyone to have to guess what it says.
I had a productive call with Ursula von der Leyen this morning. We’re ready to build on our free trade relationship, bolster economic security, and work side-by-side on shared defence and security challenges.
When Canada and the European Union build together, our futures are stronger.
First Germany.
Then Canada.
Now Australia.
The whole world is REJECTING Trump and Putin — and all their radical right-wing fascist parties and politics.
