A lot of us were saying in 2024 that "If #TheOrangeMenace is reelected, we might never have another election again."
It was dismissed as hyperbole. I'm not even sure *I* believed it 100%.
But it's the old question of "who polices the police?" on steroids. They now control EVERY institution that we'd otherwise depend upon to "investigate": The #FBI, #SCotUS... and thanks to a cowed & sycophantic #GOP, not even a "House Oversight Committee" to rein them in. #DisasterPresidency
@GottaLaff
It is quite insane (and now commonplace) the rate at which #TheOrangeMenace and the #GOP keep passing laws to prevent things THAT AREN'T HAPPENING from happening, while ignoring ACTUAL threats.
Laws to stop "#Trans Athletes" or "#DragQueenStoryTime" to protect kids, but doing NOTHING to stop gun violence in schools.
He is so POSITIVE the 2020 Election was "stolen" (despite ZERO proof) that they are passing laws left & right to make sure it never happens again. #DystopianNightmare

Liberals and leftists used to say I was exaggerating when I said that #GOP voters want to dismantle the federal goverment.
"Naw, they'll keep Social Security for sure, hyuk hyuk!" They said.
"No, you don't know how radical these people are," I said.
I was right.

There are more than 500,000 mostly white undocumented European and Canadian immigrants in the USA—But Trump is exclusively targeting Black and brown immigrants.It was never about ensuring “legal” immigration. It was always about upholding white supremacy...#Trump..#GOP..#whitenationalism..

Democrats flip deep-red Pennsylvania district
“Democrats pulled off an astonishing upset in a special election for the #Pennsylvania Senate on Tuesday night, as East Petersburg Mayor James Andrew Malone defeated #Republican Josh Parsons by a 50-49 margin to flip a district Donald #Trump carried by 15 points last year.
Since taking its present form in Lancaster County 40 years ago, the district has always been held by the #GOP, and the county as a whole has gone for a #Democrat at the presidential level just once since 1856 (Lyndon Johnson just barely won it in 1964).

Kulinski's fashion choices are appalling.
but his political takes are accurate and succinct. He swears a lot. but his analysis is sharp and exactly right.

This is more or less redundant as I already have to prove I am a citizen to vote in any election.

I just bring my passport now which shuts down any obnoxious questions.
#houthigate #idiot47 #republicans #gop #lockthemup Gosh Mike, that is awfully noble of you to take full responsibility for sharing sensitive and classified war plans with a journalist you despise, but are you sure it just wasn’t Pete drunk-texting again? I mean, he does have a history. No need to fall on his sword. . . . I call BS on all this we need Congress to spend millions of taxpayer dollars investigating this incident, just like they did on Hillary’s emails. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/mar/25/mike-waltz-yemen-plans-breach-signal-group?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other

So the #GOP is all in on a laughably transparent cover up of a major criminally incompetent breach of security! Heads should roll! And #ConvictedFelonTrump is all in on the cover up with his lies about it! Worthy of drawing up impeachment papers! #Politics
