Colbert comes out swinging. Gonna be a fun 10 months...

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

He illegally started a war and nothing will happen because everyone in Congress is a spineless coward.

The President's disastrous decision to bomb Iran without authorization is a grave violation of the Constitution and Congressional War Powers. He has impulsively risked launching a war that may ensnare us for generations. It is absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment.

AOC: “It is absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment.”

The United States should not wage war against Iran.

Donald Trump’s bombing of Iran is unconstitutional. Only Congress can declare war — and the Senate must vote immediately to prevent an another endless war.

This is a horrific war of choice.

You lose healthcare. They gain yachts. Keep spreading the word.

protesters surround federal detention center in Los Angeles

Welcome to America, where protesting illegal kidnappings without due process is an insurrection, but attacking the nation’s Capitol is not.

And there you have it. ICE didn't target migrant workers in Kristi Noem's farms or Sarah Huckabee Sanders' meatpacking plants because they wanted to create a riot in LA as a pretext to declaring martial law. They don't care about undocumented migrants, they only care about controlling US citizens.

This Memorial Weekend, we honor those who died fighting for the freedoms which we’re now losing.

This is unconscionable. Where are the members of Congress speaking about this? Esp the ones who call themselves Christian (yeah, I mean Speaker Mike Johnson). Does the media even ask about it?

RFK Jr blames diet, lifestyle & vaccines for chronic illness.

Dr Oz says it’s a “patriotic duty” to lead a healthy life & be fit enough to serve in the military.

Neither of them are pushing for Universal Healthcare, basic income, an end to food deserts & inequality, clean water etc.

It’s eugenics

Exhausted

If you’re changing the definition of human rights, it means you plan on violating people’s human rights.

Called my congressman who voted for the SAVE act.

Me: What documents will I need to vote if this passes?
Staffer: a DL and birth certificate.
Me: The documents don’t match
Staffer: Then a marriage certificate.
Me: Will my husband need the marriage certificate too?
Staffer: No
Me: See the problem?

The President of the United States engaged in insider trading, and laughed about it.

He is not exempt from the law.

Where the fuck is Congress?

Good morning.

Today is the 80th day that the U.S. President is running a backdoor bribery scheme in which any CEO or foreign oligarch can send him money secretly through his crypto coin scam in exchange for favors.

It's the biggest scandal in the history of the Presidency.

We wouldn’t be here if SCOTUS had allowed the January 6th trial to go forward as scheduled.

I can’t believe how stupid everything is

Tweet from @A_B_morgan: My seven-year-old asked for a dictionary this week. We went to the bookshop today to buy one. She walked home hugging it, pausing every so often to look up a word, grinning as though she had been given a book of spells, the key to wonders. Merriam-Webster QT: The kids are alright.

You had us at "a book of spells, the key to wonders."

Disruption is all they seem to understand—so that’s exactly what they’re getting. For 14 hours, @booker.senate.gov has been on the Senate floor, speaking truth within the rules. This cannot be business as usual when our democracy’s on the line. Thank you, senator.

The kiss

Watching Jurassic Park, where a computer nerd with a debt problem and delusions of grandeur tears down all the safety systems, with no understanding of the consequences, so he can better facilitate his planned espionage and theft.

Schumer and these 10 Senate Democrats overplayed their hand. They think people will forget and move on. They won't. Schumer just sealed the end of his leadership. It's done. Just a matter of when. Tick Tock.

He's intentionally crashing the American economy...with global ripple effects.

It should be an impeachable offense.

There isn't a single Republican in Congress who has the courage to oppose this carnage.

CDC plans to study autism, vaccines Move comes despite strong evidence finding no link between them. By LENA H. SUN and LAUREN WEBER • The Washington Post

I got your waste, fraud, and abuse right here

The public erasure of accomplishments because they're not from people who are white or male or straight or Christian is ignorant and wrong and evil.

The public erasure of the history of wrongs done to people who are not white or male or straight or Christian is ignorant and wrong and evil.

Son: Are we better off now?

Dad: Well son, mom & dad have both lost their jobs. Our savings are gone, gas & grocery prices are up. We did, however, save you from drag queen story time.

Son: What's that?

Dad: A mythical thing they said was happening in your school, which we can't afford anymore.
