Gov. Pritzker: Trump and Vance have failed our workers with high costs and have empowered wealthy corporations to treat them like garbage. GOP have been acting like lapdogs, letting the WH trample your rights & rubbing elbows with Musk & Ellison. Time for Republicans in Washington to cut the BS!

Q: Have you dropped the anti-weaponization fund? Trump: No, a court ruled against it. These people have been decimated. I'm very proud I pardoned them. I think they should be reimbursed for a crooked government. (And yet, when queried by Rep Meng, Blanche testified "slush fund will not proceed." 🤔😕)

Scott Pelley is calling out the executive overhaul at 60 Minutes, claiming editor-in-chief Barry Weiss "was brought in to kill it, and she's been doing exactly that." This is a blatant demolition of media integrity.

Flare.USA is on the ground at Delaney Hall protesting. Reporting is that “creepy surveillance equipment” arrived tonight. WTH is going on? This is not normal. Call your MOCs! 202-224-3121

From our dedicated SC friends: "Never in my wildest imagination did I think I would be called in...over Memorial Day & have to argue that military members...deserve to have their votes counted after they already cast their ballots."SC Sen. Ed Sutton #VoteEarlySC social.demcast.com/s/sSDw4oHf

A family of four now spends up to $1,600 a month just on groceries. That’s a mortgage payment. That’s a car note. That’s what Trump’s economy actually costs regular people while billionaires cash out. This is not normal. Don’t let them tell you it is. #TrumpsGroceryCrisis

Still waiting on those $2 eggs, Donald. Still waiting on the $.99 gas. Still waiting on prices dropping “immediately” like you promised. What we got instead: tariffs, chaos, and a grocery bill that looks like a car payment. #TrumpsGroceryCrisis

Seattle inflation is at 4.9 percent. Dining out is up 7 percent and clothing jumped 15 percent. Trump promised relief, but all we got were relentless price hikes that are here to stay. We cannot afford this. 💸 #TrumpsGroceryCrisis

Remember when the joke was having food at home? Now basic groceries are a luxury. Beef and bread prices are skyrocketing, and April saw the worst jump in years. Trump’s failed economic legacy is starving our families. #TrumpsGroceryCrisis

There is so much poetry in Stephen Colbert celebrating his finale on the exact stage where the Beatles changed culture in 1964. Singing "Hello Goodbye" surrounded by his family, his band, and his crew before Paul McCartney flipped the final power switch. This was the perfect full-circle goodbye!

POTUS=clown show from thin-skinned toddler. Springsteen/Colbert: "You're the first guy to lose his show because we got a president who can't take a joke and because Larry & David Ellison need to kiss his ass. These are small minded people with no idea about the freedoms of this beautiful country."

174 66

Trump/DOJ agreement includes secret "release of claims:" Waives all claims against Trump by the US. Trump, family & businesses cannot be investigated, audited or sued by US government including all US agencies FOREVER, even after he leaves office. It forfeits our rights, money & democracy.

169 128

Speaker Mike Johnson in his own words: "If we lost the majority, it would be the end of the Trump presidency." You heard him! Time to redouble our efforts and GOTV!

Trump approval dropped to lowest level of 37%. Views on economy fell to lowest point in several years (CBS News poll 5/18/26). Only 29% say economy is good. Americans are feeling financially stressed, see gas prices as a hardship and don't think their income is keeping up with inflation.

78 49

Corruption = using power for personal gain. From reversing China chip restrictions for Nvidia to pushing crypto bills, every single official action conveniently doubles as a personal get-rich-quick scheme. Breakdown of how Trump made 3,600 stock trades in 3 months while altering government policy: ⬇️

SCOTUS gutted the Voting Rights Act two weeks ago. Today, thousands crossed the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma and marched to Montgomery to say NO! John Lewis bled for that bridge. We are not handing it over without a fight. We are not going back.

We've seen the largest attack on multiracial democracy in a generation as well as their assault on women, girls, LGBTQ community. Now we're seeing the assault on civil rights and voting rights. An attack on one of us is an attack on all of us. Each of us needs to step up and do our part.

514 217

In Trump’s “booming” economy, Americans are literally selling their blood to pay for rent, food, and gas—200,000 people a day, $4.7B in plasma last year, more centers than Costcos. That’s not winning. #WeCantAffordTrump

272 206

“Grocery prices ain’t no joke” isn’t a meme, it’s the state of the union. People are grateful just to get to the store and still walk out distraught at the total. But sure, tell us it’s all in our heads.🤬 #WeCantAffordTrump

"I'm just trying to rebuild and take care of our future." When you work this hard to get off the street and you still have no healthcare and your housing is at risk, we have failed as a country. #WeCantAffordTrump

Trump reviles us. Groceries, rent, bills, everything squeezing you-and Trump openly admits your financial struggle isn't his concern. Not confusion. Not incompetence. Pure, unadulterated indifference and condescension. In his own words, Trump says he doesn't care about you. He cares about himself.

136 94

Trump, ever the grifter, doesn't think he has to pay back the $166 Billion he owes on tariff refunds. "In theory, you have to pay the tariffs back. We'll fight that. But in theory, you have to pay them back." Hey, Trump, how about 'in theory' we stop paying all of our bills, too?!

112 60

WTF Hegseth! All of humankind is your business! "Not your dept!" Sen. Murray: "Your team testified Trump's Iran war cost $29 billion so far. Cost estimate is suspiciously low. Your comptroller said this figure did not included damage to military assets. It's clear there has been extensive damage."

12 7

ICE is run by companies like Core Civic and Geo Group that are for-profit. Corporations do not accept anything other than ever increasing growth. Once they're done rounding up immigrants, who do you think is next?

45 28

Seriously? Transportation Secretary Duffy: "It fits any budget to do a road trip." Yeah, suppose that's true-since the taxpayers are paying for his gas bills. Guess he doesn't share the same reality as the rest of us.

156 61

Pres Obama to Colbert: "A president who controls prosecutions & pardons allies who funded his campaign isn't running a government. He's running a protection racket. The AG is the people's lawyer; he's not the president's consigliere."

325 142

Harry Enten: "Trump has reached the lowest net approval rating ever for a President of the US. The lowest previous record was when Trump was 24 points underwater in term one. He is now 25 points underwater."

121 63

Trump: "We are really doing well." (Translation: his billionaire BUDDIES are doing really well.) "Gasoline is high. Other prices are way down, but gasoline is high." (He actually believes that gas prices do not affect all of OUR economy? Oh, that's right: It doesn't affect HIS personal economy.)

131 68

He’s skipping meals this week so he can take his mom to the doctor tomorrow. She’s being denied breathing medication. One word for this economy: DESOLATE. I bet Trump doesn’t even know that word. #TrumpsGasCrisis

109 70

Gas was under $3 before Trump. Now it is over $4 and rising while he focuses on a White House ballroom renovation. A ballroom? People are struggling to eat and he is picking out wallpaper. This is unacceptable. #TrumpsGasCrisis

114 44

FCC Chair Brendan Carr, after threatening to shut down broadcasters that are 'mean' to Trump: "FCC should not operate as speech police." WTF...?!

59 38

LA farmer Kaden Cable castigates Trump for abandoning farmers: "Trump cut billions of dollars from federal programs that funded small farmers. We've just been left to the winds. Trump doesn't care about people like me or like you. He treats us like we're bugs on the sidewalk and laughs at us."

25 17

Louisiana Governor Landry set to cancel May 16th election on Friday, 5/1/16. Absentee ballots have already gone out and early voting is set to start 5/2-5/9 in Louisiana. He wants to cancel elections so he can redraw Louisiana's election map. This will eliminate two Black majority districts.

21 20

Confirmed: Trump admits he delayed his evacuation during the WHCD breach to watch the CAT team. It’s a total break from security protocol, especially as he immediately turned the incident into a pitch for a $400M ballroom.

160 108

Trump's economic approval is not just the lowest in either of his terms. His net approval is lower than that of any president for any term. He's making the type of history that no president likes to make.

164 87

Q: Do you have a boyfriend? A: Boys are stressful. From the lips of tiny women..."I know boys are stressful because I have a dad."

127 49

Oversight Committee: "Maxwell is a monster. She was the enforcer. She facilitated, aided and abetted Epstein's crimes." Why won't Trump rule out a pardon for her?

727 316

Rep Garcia: "Howard Lutnick has consistently been all over the place when it comes to Jeffrey Epstein. He went into business with Epstein. He visited his island. He traveled with Epstein. He has to explain why he has continued to lie and be part of this massive White House coverup."

279 128

Trump cites only having "lost 13 men" as evidence that "we've done a great job." He's treating those lives as if they were expendable. Tell that to their families. Tell that to their loved ones. Try telling that to us. Monstrous. Period. Full stop.

72 40

Pope Leo is everything that Trump wishes he were: fearless, highly respected, credible, intelligent, beloved. That's why the Pope is so very popular and why Trump is not. This may a good explanation for Trump's continual, puerile tirade against the Pope and why he is failing miserably.

156 67

Father Edward Beck: "I think people are upset by them using God for their own purposes. Not only Catholics. Many people, Jews, Christians, are asking me: 'What is going on with this president? He's gone off the rails with this. And why is he picking the Pope to have this battle with?"

143 60

Hegseth attacks the press as "unpatriotic" and suggests that they are on the side of Iran. Freedom of the press is under attack once again as Hegseth refers to objective reporting as "unpatriotic."

115 73

"I do not look at my role as being a politician." Aboard his flight to Africa, Pope Leo XIV addresses the tension with President Trump, making it clear he won’t be drawn into a political debate. For him, the Gospel’s message of peace is a mandate, not a political tool.

30 13

Hungary parties into the night after Magyar's seismic election victory over Orban. "Finally, after 16 years, I can be a proud Hungarian." Hungary sets an example for the world. If Hungary can do it, so can the US!

231 87

Reporter: "Melania definitely is in the Epstein files. She seems to be confirming that there is an authentic email communication from her to Ghislaine Maxwell, signing it, 'Love, Melania.' These are two people who had a friendly social relationship with one another."

RFK Jr. pushed cod liver oil as a measles treatment—now Texas children are hospitalized with liver damage. Utah has 583 measles cases. The MMR vaccine is 97% effective. Kennedy runs U.S. public health. Three people died last year. This is the cost of pseudoscience. Scientific research saves lives.

338 204

Pentagon warned the Vatican that the US has the military power to do whatever it wants, and that the Church had better take Trump's side. During tense meeting, Pentagon reportedly lectured Holy See's US Ambassador re remarks Pope had made that they viewed as hostile to Trump's policies.

102 69

Sky News: "While Trump, the so-called leader of the free world, sits rage-posting on SM like a man screaming into a void, France, Japan, Philippines, & UK are quietly, methodically cutting deals with Iran. The world has moved on & US Mainstream Media is not covering a bit of this."

Pressure from American public seems to be having an effect. More than 50 Members of Congress are now calling for Trump's removal either via impeachment or the 25th Amendment. Keep calling your MOC's especially the GOP members.

88 54

Gov. JB Pritzker: "The 25th Amendment ought to be invoked." Pritzker is escalating his warning—calling for Trump’s removal via the 25th Amendment and saying “something is genuinely wrong with this man.” The calls are getting louder.

65 26

Goldman: All Members of Congress including GOP need to stage an intervention and it needs to happen today. Donald Trump is deranged & is openly plotting war crimes. Destroying Iranian cultural sites & civilian infrastructure is a violation of international law. This war must end now.

253 124

We reach for the stars/Artemis II crew just flew farther from Earth than any human in history. "We will continue our journey into space before mother Earth pulls us back to what we hold dear. We choose this moment to challenge this generation and the next to make sure this record is not long lived."

84 34

From the Lincoln Project: Our country was designed to protect us from people like Donald Trump.

134 69

The French are done being polite. French General just reacted to Trump's plan to build a runway inside Iran, under active bombing, in order to fly out uranium stockpiles. This is the same man who said that Trump's Iran war is like "buying cheap tickets for the Titanic after it hit the iceberg."

298 147

“Grocery prices ain’t no joke” isn’t a meme, it’s the state of the union. People are grateful just to get to the store and still walk out distraught at the total. But sure, tell us it’s all in our heads.🤬 #TrumpsTariffsCostUS

What a marvelous symbol of how we seek to rise above that which would hold us down. God/Goddess speed Artemis II, symbol of courage, ingenuity and innovation-for all humanity!

117 38

Enten: This is no April Fool's joke. Disaster for Trump. New polling data (4/1) show all time career low (31%). Trump's approval has never been this low. Inflation & gas prices exacerbate his low approval rating. These are the highest disapprovals on inflation at about this time in any presidency.

120 64

GOP can mock No Kings but it grew from 6 million to 8 million, 3300 rallies across all 50 states in a few months. A record 36 Republicans are retiring early. Historically, with low POTUS approval (now ~40%), that party loses an average of 34 seats in Congress. Dem's only need a few seats.

Finally... Smith: "The supreme law of the land is the Constitution. Lots of videos of masked ICE agents, no identification, saying 'you have to answer my questions, no option to walk away.'" Rogan:"You can't accept masked people, that don't have a warrant, on the streets in militarized situations."

Sen. Chris Van Hollen, D-MD, Appropriations Cmte: 'We have a delusional president who gets his information from short videos and who is ignoring information from US Intelligence agencies. He's listening to all the 'Yes Men' around him, and that is making our country less safe."

158 77

Philadelphia DA Krasner to ICE: "If you commit a crime, I prosecute you. No, the president cannot pardon you. If necessary, I will put you in a jail cell if you commit the same criminal homicide against unarmed, innocent people that you committed in Minneapolis."

On March 28th, we rise up! This isn't a protest. It's a PROMISE. They rule through fear. We counter with MASS MOBILIZATION. A promise that we will not allow our freedoms to be taken. A promise to defend our communities. A promise delivered on MARCH 28. #NoKings2026 rebrand.ly/874573

Enten: "Trump's net approval rating on cost of living among men is underwater by 30 points. There is no way that GOP holds onto the House, and maybe not even the Senate, if this number holds. At 30 points underwater that means 'see you later' to GOP House majority & maybe Senate majority too."

161 71

Terrible news for trump: New poll: "Trump’s net approval on cost of living is a staggering -41. Among independents, it’s -60—near universal distrust. Not a surprise, but still notable: this is his lowest rating on cost of living across both his first and second terms."

23 16

No SAVE Act! Call your MOC's 202-224-3121! "I call it Jim Crow 2.NO! So we're going to stay up all day, all night, to make sure that we truly save America from people who are trying to take us back. Guess what? We're not going back. This is about power, but who does power belong to? THE PEOPLE!"

94 59

40% of Americans describe the US as an oligarchy. As a veteran of 2 wars, how do you respond? Rep Crow: They see authoritarianism around the country, Trump weaponizing DOJ, arresting & murdering Americans. None of this is normal. Our Constitution, our democracy are under assault.

8 9

Rep Goldman read directly from the Epstein file DOJ & Trump tried to hide. Shows victim whose allegations the FBI "found unquestionably credible": Trump sexually assaulted her between 13-15 yrs. old. She gave same core account in multiple interviews. "This disputes everything the president said."

513 267

Sen. Bennet: Trump-complete lack of clarity on Iran. He previously criticized Middle East wars. Now, he's turned us into the world's police, jury, judge and executioner. Just because we have the most advanced military, doesn't mean that we should be in a perpetual wartime. @bennet.senate.gov

238 99

GOP Sen. rand Paul attacks Trump's nominee to lead DHS, Markwayne Mullin: "The fact he can't bring himself to say that we shouldn't settle political questions with violence, I think that would be a terrible example for ICE and Border Patrol."

On March 28th, we rise again! Remember, 500K Hungarians marched against Orban yesterday (3/15/26). If they can do it, we 335 million strong American patriots have NO excuse! Show up March 28th. Find your No Kings event here:⬇️⬇️⬇️ www.mobilize.us?tag_ids=2958...

White House is in panic mode. Iran war is not going as they expected. American people are worried about these much higher grocery and housing prices, because higher oil prices are going to raise all of our prices at home. Trump is flailing & has a different rationale every day.

26 10

UBC hosted Rachel Maddow to discuss extremism & American global collapse to a capacity crowd. She breaks down Trump's current apparent skin/health problems as well as 2 decades of research on trade wars with allies, his threats to Greenland, and feuding with Canada’s Prime Minister. Irony abounds.

"Enough is enough!" Jane Fonda & Tig Notaro lead the way again with this uplifting video for the Committee for the First Amendment. All of us doing just a little bit will make a huge difference. Resist in whatever ways you can. We're in this together. You are not alone!

Thanks to Trump and his minions, Cuba is forced to rise in the dark. They have no food, no light, no electricity. Trump's oil embargo did this to them!
