Some of them may have been fired. Others are just muzzled. Meanwhile universities nationwide are going to the federal courts to ensure that critical funding for cancer research does NOT get blocked. Basically Elon Musk has poured cement into all of the pipes where money flows 3/n

The most brutal opening of 60 Minutes in the legendary program's history, laying bare the abomination of Trump's horrendous cabinet picks — which are based on fealty to a fascist, authoritarian demagogue rather than qualifications for the actual position.

@JoJoFromJerz 🗣️Wise words from Frederick Douglas (1818-1895) was an African-American social reformer, abolitionist, orator, writer, and statesman 👇🏾

Oh my goodness. What an opening on 60 Minutes re Trump’s cabinet. This is how it’s done. Watch and share this.

Bit of a long 🧵 but I promise, it is actually going somewhere, not just a rant on Trump's cabinet picks. But the rant part first: Marco Rubio (Sec of State) - More or less qualified, but has become a whipped dog, begging for his master's love, since 2016 1/15

Can anyone other than MAGAs see this?

Trump has fallen below 50% in the popular vote. His margin of victory (pop vote + electoral college) is the third smallest since 1888. (Only JFK in '60 and Nixon in '68 were smaller.) If 238k votes in the blue wall states had been different, he would have lost. Not a mandate.

History books in the future: "How did America end?" They couldn't bring themselves to vote for a woman.

Democrats: First black president. First female vice president. Repulicans: First convicted felon president.

Madame Vice President you ran a great campaign. In 107 days you introduced yourself to the American people and defined what disqualified your opponent. You raised a billion dollars within a matter of days and put together a coalition of the most diverse group of American citizenry. You presented a measure of hope and optimism while displaying intelligence and discipline. You were pragmatic, deliberate, insightful, inspiring, and positive. You were the epitome of a political scientist and your campaign left everything on the field. You were our last best hope for an American aesthetic that millions of us are in pursuit of. I am honored to have been a part of this campaign and I look forward to working with you further to protect our democracy and form a more perfect union. May the ancestors give you enlightenment. May God continue to bless you all the days of your life. Thank you for your service.

So at least there is no need for Truth Social now? Threads away.

Is it that Harris is a woman? Is the misogyny that deep in America?

Republicans clearly know how to speak to low information voters. They do so through lies about what to expect and easy to digest messaging that results in these same voters voting against their own self interests. I can say with certainty that those who voted for Trump will not be better off as a result.

Don't let Trump take your joy today. Turn the TV off. Look after yourselves and let's rebuild and do better. But for today, just be kind to yourselves X

America put a convicted felon in the White House before a woman. The message we just sent to the world. Yikes.

We just witnessed the US collapse and they cheered for their own demise. Poor dumb bastards. Everyone that voted Kamala, you did your best, stay strong and survive, you are not alone.

I went to bed at midnight, and woke up to find out it’s still midnight.

@Michael35715972 @mariashriver At least until Florida-Texas.

@mariashriver @jamcbride You can breathe now…unburdened by what has been.

If you are watching results, breathe. It’s going to be a long night—just breathe 🙏

I am so deeply sorry. I thought better of us.

BREAKING: Josh Stein has defeated MAGA Mark Robinson. LET'S GO!
