The Democratic nominee for the U.S. Senate in Maine is Troy Jackson, whose focus is on championing the working-class against the billionaires and corporations. More of that across the country, please!
The Democrats' intraparty squabbling over ideology and leadership needs to come to an end if the party is to take full advantage of Trump's monumental unpopularity.
Tom Homan complained again the other day that "hateful rhetoric" will result in ICE agents being killed for doing their jobs. He didn't seem nearly so concerned about justice for the innocent victims of trigger-happy ICE officers. #Trump #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice #ImpeachTrumpNow
Unlike Maria in "The Sound of Music," Trump doesn't experience nature as something joyous and full of beauty; instead, he views it as something to be drained of every ounce of its value to line the pockets of his greedy friends. #Trump #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice #TrumpCorruption
Trump's obsession with his loss of the 2020 election is like a broken record. #Trump #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice #ImpeachTrumpNow #TrumpCorruption
Trump uses the psychological mechanism called projection — accusing others of his own shortcomings. #Trump #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice #ImpeachTrumpNow #TrumpCorruption
Senior citizens are seeing massive cuts to social safety net programs and sharp increases in costs for healthcare because of Trump's enormous tax cuts benefiting the ultra-wealthy and corporations. This was not unforeseen. #Trump
Harry Truman once said, "Nixon is a shifty-eyed goddamn liar." Todd Blanche reminds me of that line. He's chillingly Nixonesque, and slavish in his service to another, even more dangerous imperial president. #Trump #trumprepublicancorruption
Experts estimate that more than 760,000 people, mostly children, have died worldwide in the first year since Elon Musk and Donald Trump took a chainsaw to USAID. #Trump #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice #ImpeachTrumpNow #TrumpCorruption #USAID
Rep. James Clyburn (D-S.C.) has called Trump's voter suppression law, the SAVE America Act, “nothing but a throwback” to Jim Crow laws. #Trump #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice #ImpeachTrumpNow #TrumpCorruption
On the eve of the 250th anniversary of America's declaration of independence from Great Britain, Trump delivered a grievance- and dog whistle-filled speech against the backdrop of Mount Rushmore that tarred his political opponents as “godless” and “evil” communists. #Trump
Trump is obsessed with his voter restriction bill, the SAVE America Act, even if it means neglecting a bipartisan housing bill that could give his party something to run on. Why? The SAVE Act might save Trump's bacon in the midterms, and that's what he cares about. #Trump
Kash Patel is diverting 260 FBI investigative analysts on a fishing expedition to try to prove Trump's debunked conspiracy theories about the 2020 election in Georgia. While they're engaged in this ridiculous effort, they're not pursuing essential law enforcement work. #Trump
Trump v. Slaughter advances Trump's goal of consolidating executive power under the controversial “unitary executive” theory. The theory is part of Project 2025. Trump once referred to his second administration as a “unified Reich” in a Truth Social post. #Trump
The U.S. Supreme Court ruled 6–3 last week that the Trump administration can revoke Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Haitian and Syrian immigrants, giving the court's seal of approval to Trump's ugly racism. #Trump #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice #ImpeachTrumpNow #TrumpCorruption
Why do gas prices go up like a rocket, but come down like a feather? Prices shot up with Trump's Iran war. But we're told that prices at the pump simply can't come down so quickly — we obviously don't understand how the oil business works. Oh yeah? I think we do. #IranWar
Trump's tacky merchandising of the presidency is unethical and unprecedented. #Trump #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice #ImpeachTrumpNow #TrumpCorruption
'Never turn your back on the ocean' is a fundamental safety rule. Maintaining awareness of changing conditions is also great advice in the political realm. Trump is arrogantly putting his Republican colleagues and himself in political peril. #Trump #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice
Gardening, come what may, in the West, where a record-shattering March heat event contributed to an early wipeout of the already-meager snowpack. The weather weirdness is undoubtedly linked to climate change.
A lengthy drought in the West has caused major reservoirs to dwindle, and tensions to rise among states that rely on the over-allocated Colorado River. #cowx #cawx #copolitics
Happy Father's Day to the guy who propagated so many conspiracy theories, including those about his pal, Jeffrey Epstein. He clearly didn't expect all the MAGA conspiracists that he whipped up to turn on him. #EpsteinCoverUp #EpsteinFiles #TrumpEpsteinCoverup #Trump
With Trump's economic policies and the fallout from his disastrous war of choice with Iran, many Americans are understandably feeling a little bit blue about their personal finances. #Trump #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice #ImpeachTrumpNow #TrumpCorruption
Kidding aside, surveillance of Americans by Big Data is thoroughly alarming.
The Dilley Immigration Processing Center, managed by private, for-profit prison operator CoreCivic, is a disgrace.
Trump and JD Vance signed a memorandum of understanding with Iran, but we still don't know exactly what's in it. Trump has vowed to release the text of the agreement ‘in a couple of days.’ #Trump #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice #ImpeachTrumpNow #TrumpCorruption #IranWar #MiddleEastCrisis
The N.Y. Times reported that top administration officials, including Todd Blanche, gathered in the White House situation room last summer to plan the Epstein coverup. #EpsteinCoverUp #EpsteinFiles #TrumpEpsteinCoverup #Trump #EpsteinTrumpCoverUp #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles
Billionaire Tom Steyer's costly, self-funded campaign for California governor failed. Why didn't he just buy politicians like other wealthy people and corporations, instead of trying to buy the office for himself?
