@RachelBitecofer Democrats outnumber Republicans. We just need to VOTE. Too many Americans think "everything is gonna be o.k." or they're way too busy with work & family . . . so they ignore politics. Nope. Never make that mistake again. Never sit out an election. VOTE BLUE 🇺🇸

The DOJ's Office of Legal Counsel just released an opinion saying the Presidential Records Act is unconstitutional and “the President need not further comply with its dictates.” We'll see the Trump admin in court if they adopt that position. cnn.com/2026/04/03/pol…

A sitting U.S. president is openly threatening to commit war crimes in broad daylight. Bombing civilian infrastructure is not “tough” - it’s illegal. We cannot tolerate or normalize this.

Republicans are threatening to cut Medicare and Medicaid. To pay for Donald Trump’s reckless war of choice in the Middle East. Get lost.

@atrupar He bragged in the same “press conference” about how close he is with Putin and Kim Jong Un, while commenting on how weak our democratic allies are at the same time. But sure, he’s not a wanna be strong man. No way.

Trump: Who are you with? Reporter: I'm with The New York Times— Trump: Failing. Failing. Reporter: Are you concerned that your threat to bomb power plants and bridges amount to war crimes? Trump: No not at all.

Two-thirds of all pardons since 2001 went to people who invaded the Capitol, including 169 people charged with beating cops and 174 who stormed its grounds with a deadly weapon. Some went on to get new convictions: possession of child porn, even reckless homicide. motherjones.com/politics/2026/…

Congress needs to get back to DC to fund FEMA, TSA, and the Coast Guard, and to vote to end this illegal war with Iran!

Anne Applebaum is correct. Under Trump, America is on its way to becoming every bit the failed fascist authoritarian state that Hungary is under Viktor Orbán. JD Vance is in Hungary to support Orbán and take notes in how Orbán's rigging Hungary's election.

I don't want to hear any more bullshit about "both parties are the same." No, they absolutely are not. I'm not here to say Democrats are perfect — far from it — but they are not the same. Last I checked, in my lifetime, no Democratic president has started a large-scale war in the Middle East like George H. W. Bush, George W. Bush, and Donald Trump all have. Sure, Democrats have ordered military strikes and other operations — but nothing on the scale of what Republicans have done when controlling the White House. Name the last Republican who inherited a sinking economy or a recession from their Democratic predecessor. On the flip side, name the last Democrat who inherited a strong, growing economy from a Republican predecessor. Clinton inherited a weak economy from George H. W. Bush. Obama inherited the worst economic crash since the Great Depression from George W. Bush. Biden inherited a pandemic that had been botched as horribly as a president could botch it from Trump. Meanwhile, George W. Bush inherited a historically strong economy and a balanced budget from Clinton. From Obama, Trump inherited a strong economy in the midst of a historic streak of private-sector job growth. And from Biden, he inherited a growing (though still fragile) economy that, a year later, is worse by nearly every major economic metric than it was when he took office. In my lifetime, not once has a Democrat entered the White House without a massive mess to clean up from the Republican who occupied the office before them. Was Obamacare perfect? No — and it was never meant to be. It was a stepping stone to be built upon and improved. But guess what, it’s a hell of a lot better than anything Republicans have ever proposed to provide more Americans with better and more affordable health care — because they’ve never introduced anything. Meanwhile, Democrats dating back to the 1990s have been trying to make health care better for all Americans, including conservatives, whether or not MAGA wants to believe that. I dare any Republican voter to tell me any major policy or platform their party has backed in the past 20–30 years that has made Americans’ lives better. What policy proposals — other than "get a job and stop doing drugs" — have Republicans put forth to help end the homelessness crisis, fight drug addiction, or help the most vulnerable among us live better lives? True, Biden was bad on the border and border security — but at least Democrats don’t vilify human beings as "animals" and "monsters" like Republicans do. We can have discussions about how best to secure our border and manage immigration without dehumanizing people — most of whom are just poor individuals trying to make a better life for themselves and their families. On guns: Most Democrats want sensible reforms aimed at reducing gun violence. It’s not an effort to remove someone’s "right to bear arms" — it’s about addressing the epidemic of mass shootings and overall gun violence. Yet, to Republicans, guns have nothing to do with gun violence. Nothing at all. It's just "mental health," of which they've also done absolutely nothing to combat. Name a Democrat who came into office and immediately started a crypto business auctioning private dinners with undisclosed guest lists to their largest investors. Well, Trump did that. His family’s net worth has grown by over $2 billion since he came into office. By comparison, if you combined the total net worth of the Obamas and Bidens, it’s about 2–3% of just the net gains Trump has seen since returning to the White House.
