@GovPritzker @likaluca Somehow the "Don't Mess With Texas" people are all in for their national guard to be ordered around by a President to fight imaginary battles on his behalf. You'd think they'd call that out and demand their national guard be at home where they belong. All hat no cattle, I guess.

Donald Trump is not a king — and his administration is not above the law. Today, the court confirmed what we all know: there is no credible evidence of a rebellion in the state of Illinois. And no place for the National Guard in the streets of American cities like Chicago.

@RepJeffJackson, you said you had a message this morning if anyone was listening. I was getting my free breakfast at a hotel that was broadcasting the House floor. I heard you. Thanks for your comments, and for your fight. Well done.

I remember a woman who survived being mauled by a bear (it RIPPED HER FACE OFF) did an ama about her experience and said the worst part of the whole thing, attack, rescue, recovery, years of healing, many surgeries, was dealing with the health insurance company

Let's stop calling it health insurance. Let's call it health inurement. It means benefit. Nonprofit private inurement is leaders benefiting contrary to charitable purpose. Let's adapt it to for-profit healthcare gate keepers taking unconscionable levels of profit. It fits.

I don’t care about hurting anyone’s feelings anymore. You are a dumb fuck if you voted for that rapist, racist felon. You are a dumb fuck if you thought both candidates would be bad and sat your ass at home. Don't you fucking dare complain when your kid's teeth start separating from their gums. Don't fucking complain when polio and measles are running rampant. Don't fucking complain when cancer research is halted along with research for other deadly diseases. Don't fucking complain when you can't find the prescription drugs to treat your serious conditions because the brain worm guy who is not a doctor will be deciding what medications you should be taking. Don't complain when RFK Jr. has children drinking raw milk. This is what the fuck you wanted. A kook in charge of America’s health. #DemsUnited

@drodvik52 @ewarren As always, she is the adult in the room. God help her as that room has become an insane asylum with no rules and the bullies put in charge.

To everyone who is afraid of what happens next, I share your fears. But what we do next is important. We have to learn from what happened. And then, make a plan. As we confront a second Trump presidency, here’s a path forward: 🧵

So, you want me to believe that you voted for a racist, rapist, convicted felon, business fraud who incited a deadly attack on our Capitol after losing the last election because of the price of eggs? That you voted for the orange-dipped dude who ran with a different VP because the last one was nearly hanged for not breaking democracy, because you’ve been getting fewer hours at your job these days? You want me to believe that you voted for someone who nearly every economist in the world has said will grow our debt (which he did by the third largest amount ever the last time), increase our costs, raise inflation and destroy our GDP because a burger and fries at Five Guys is more expensive than it used to be? You want me to believe that you voted for the drink bleach guy who golfed while thousands of Americans were dying a day because you had it so much better then, when you were stockpiling toilet paper, than you do now? You want me to believe that you voted for the guy who had 4 years to pass an infrastructure bill and didn’t, the guy who promised Mexico would pay for the wall when they didn’t, the guy who promised to bring manufacturing back, lower the cost of prescription drugs and end the opioid crisis but didn’t, because you preferred his “policies”? You want me to believe you voted for the “grab em by the pussy” guy who wants to destroy the Department of Education and to repeal the ACA despite the fact that he has nothing more than “concepts of a plan” to replace it, the guy who will roll back environmental protections, strip women and minorities of more rights, the guy who will hand Ukraine to Putin and Gaza to Netanyahu, the guy who has said he will be a “dictator on day one”, because you’re worried about losing your gas stove? I’m sorry, but I don’t believe any of that, and frankly, I’m not sure you believe it either. Because the truth is that your vote wasn’t about any of that. You voted for the traitorous embodiment of the 7 deadly sins because when it came to casting your ballot for a Black woman, you just couldn’t do it. And because you like getting away with being your worst self. And because life is a whole lot easier to stomach when all that has gone wrong for you, is someone else’s fault. Let’s be honest here, that is what it was. So when the price of eggs is $18, and your Latino neighbors have been deported or moved to some f’d up “camp” to pick the strawberries none of you will pick, and your miscarrying wife has to contend with sepsis before she’s allowed to have an abortion, and your autistic child is unable to get the early intervention they desperately need, please remember what it really was that you voted for. Because I promise you the rest of us will never, ever forget.

The abject AUDACITY of running an ad accusing VP Harris of making the US unsafe through immigration policy after Trump tanked a bipartisan agreement on it, and then using the Statue of Liberty as a patriotic image at the end!? And yet people will believe it. 😡

When someone hands you your own ass served up on a platter, you don't go head to head with them again. Turns out 45 and I agree on something after all!

We must protect the separation of church and state. People should be free to make conscience-driven decisions about their bodies, health, and lives without government interference.

@Catholic4Choice Justice Alito sounded like he was talking about repairs a used car needs and whether those repairs are really needed. This is women's lives and he obviously couldn't care less.

In an emergency, should healthcare professionals be allowed to provide their patients with the best care possible without religious doctrine getting in the way? We think so! That's why we're rallying in support of #EMTALA outside #SCOTUS today.

Justice Alito talking about women's lives sounds like he's talking about what repairs a used car might need and if they're actually needed.

@unifilvet @Osborne__Cox I'm with until the last word. He wanted to appoint himself ruler despite having lost the election. He used his unqualified children in his administration. He wanted military parades. He tried to undermine Congress. He was after a monarchy, not anarchy. He wanted to be a king.

@Osborne__Cox She had a purpose! You can see how she shoved away the guy with the flag after she was helped through the window. She wanted conflict, she wanted a reaction. Ultimately, she listened to a guy who sent her to her death, who didn’t care about anyone but wanted to create anarchy
