I got no love for the Iranian regime. There have been multiple uprisings against its repressive policies. Instead of dropping bombs that have united the Iranian people against us, maybe U.S. or Israeli leaders should've reached out to opposition leaders. The Iranian government belongs to its people.

Wishing America a very happy #Juneteenth. Let's take every opportunity to celebrate increasing liberation, justice, and human rights, and to remind ourselves how precious these are.

Every American should be deeply troubled by this massive escalation, and @democrats-judiciary.house.gov are standing strong for judicial independence. This is an unmistakable descent further into authoritarian chaos.

China has announced its tariff retaliation—15% tariffs on US chicken, wheat, corn & cotton, plus a 10% tariff on soybeans, pork, beef, fruits, vegetables, & dairy products.
Blue or red state, your grocery bill just raised. Wonder who Trump will blame this trade war on?

Y'all, when Elon starts launching the paid protestors line at @indivisible.org, you know that what you're doing is working. Keep it up. And in case you needed a reminder, the next congressional recess is March 15th-23rd. And it's going to be loud. Let me be clear: we will not back down.

POTUS & VPOTUS set up #Zelenskyy so they could berate him on camera in the Oval & act like it was his fault. I want you to envision a future we are allies w/ Russia and Iran and we are at war with Great Britain, Germany, Canada, and France. #Ukraine #Republicans

Made my calls today. No to "balancing the budget" by giving tax breaks to the wealthy by cutting to healthcare for kids and people with disabilities. Hard no.
We’ve received too many reports about GOP voicemails being full for this to be a coincidence.
If your Republican representative is avoiding you, show up to one of their local offices.
You can also send an email to make it clear you don’t want to pay the price for the GOP’s billionaire tax breaks.

So yeah, the new Deputy Director of the FBI is a straight up fascist.

Tempting to roll our eyes at this crap or say he's demented, but what he is really doing is using straight up fascist tactics: blame a vulnerable minority for the country's economic problems.
Trump: "We were the richest relatively -- think of this -- from 1870 to 1913. That was our richest. Because we collected tariffs ... we had so much wealth. Of course, now we give it away to transgender ... everybody gets a transgender operation."

This is grotesque gaslighting and mind games. #Republican Administration implying (lying) that #Zelenskyy is responsible for "demolishing" buildings in #Ukraine & says "all those people are killed never to come back" without ever mentioning the person really responsible: #Putin.

Trump: (ignores Kilmeade’s remark)
Kilmeade: “But Mr. President, that’s all Vladimir Putin’s fault. Don’t you agree?”
Trump: (ignores Kilmeade’s question) “And then Zelenskyy complains that he’s not in a meeting…”

Steve Bannon, after calling for Trump to be President for life, did a Nazi salute on stage at CPAC.
Nazism has officially taken over the GOP.
The few remaining conservatives have a choice: either leave the party and obstruct it—or choose to be complicit.
