Here's what the #Democrats should have done, and what they could still do:

As a group, they say the word.

"Rapist."

Then they say it again, until Republicans start to object, and then they say it louder, over and over, rising into a steady chant until every Democrat in the room is standing and shouting that one-word indictment until their ears ring with the effort.

#USPol


#Trump trashes the federal work force for not being at work in person since the pandemic, & says those who “resist this change will be removed from office immediately.”

The days of being ruled by “unelected bureaucrats” are over, Trump says.

#Democrats scoff & point up at the gallery where #Musk is sitting.

#USpol #FactCheck #TrumpLies


Brilliant! #Democrats have paddles like Olympic Judges to #FactCheck #TrumpLies!

Signs read: “False”, “Save Medicaid”, “Musk Steals”, “Protect Medicaid”, “Protect Veterans” & more.

#Ttump #JointSession #USpol


Some #Democrats will be wearing stickers saying #ElonMusk is stealing #SocialSecurity.

Several Dems will boycott #Trump’s speech altogether.

Me? I am having a martini to gird myself against the terror.

And that’s what I’ve decided Trump has been up to in his first 50ish days, a campaign of #terror against the citizens of the US & the citizens of planet earth.

#TrumpIsATerrorist.


I'm reading that #Trump gave a speech full of idiocy and lies, and that the response from #Democrats was pretty ineffectual. So, basically, no surprises?


The Independent:
AOC calls Elon Musk a ‘leech’ on the public

“This guy is a leech on the public. No matter how many billions he gets in tax cuts and government contracts, it will never be enough for him,” the representative wrote on X Saturday.

“Now he’s going after the elderly, the disabled, and orphaned children so he can pocket it in tax cuts for himself,” Ocasio-Cortez continued. “It’s disgusting.”

The Biden administration oversaw the largest disenrollment from Medicaid in history-25 million people. They did this as they manufactured the end of the pandemic to serve capitalism, abandoning poor, disabled & high-risk people, & doing irreparable damage to public health. 1/

Biden appointed Jeff Zients, a private equity exec & Facebook board member with no public health experience, to lead the pandemic response. His CDC director Rochelle Walensky said it was encouraging news that the majority of COVID deaths occurred in people with "comorbidities" 2/

Biden expanded Trump's plan to privatize Medicare. @TheDemocrats killed #MedicareforAll legislation & took 63% of the healthcare lobby's money in both the 2020 & 2024 elections. Harris, Biden, Obama & Clinton are the top 4 recipients of pharmaceutical lobby cash from 1990-2024 3/

@TheDemocrats paved the way for the Trump administration's plans to destroy the already murderously inadequate safety net because end stage capitalism demands it. Eugenics began as a "progressive" project- rank and file democrats have happily complied for the last 4 years. 4/

The US government is owned by the healthcare lobby- its interests supersede affiliation with Republicans or Democrats. This includes RFK, who's against government run healthcare but in favor of a government owned by healthcare- he accepted the 5th highest lobby total in 2024. 5/

Being outraged only when the Republicans are in office & refusing to hold the Democrats accountable for their often equally abysmal policies on immigration, healthcare, genocide, & natural resource extraction is precisely why we have Trump. The problem is the capitalism. 6/6


Tim #Walz has been caught on tape labeling the Donald #Trump administration as "#fascists and #Nazis", insisting that the United States is being stolen and that #Democrats need to fight back.

Sharpe Way No. 564! ​Occupy Gaza and the Democrat's DEI response? Discussion!

President Trump’s controversial new idea of occupying Gaza has sparked intense debate. Is this colonialism, nation-building, or something else entirely? Do Americans want boots on the ground in the Middle East again? Is this a strategic move or a costly mistake?

"In fact, “most Americans” did not elect Trump, who did not crack 50 percent of the popular vote (and of course, over one-third of eligible voters didn’t vote). Musk is a bigoted fool who cannot be trusted to know the difference between pruning waste and destroying vital institutions outright, and the message that Democrats should obviously be sending is that letting billionaires destroy consumer financial protections is not the same thing as conducting a careful audit of government spending.

Annoyingly, much of the debate within the Democratic Party appears to be over whether the party has gone “too far left” and needs to stop paying attention to pro-immigration groups and the ACLU, or abandon racial justice as a commitment. Some even say that the “resistance” is actually working, because liberal lawyers have successfully tied much of Trump’s agenda up in the courts. But this leaves aside the massive ongoing unpopularity of the Democratic Party, and the courts are both ineffectual barriers and offer no path back to power or the implementation of a positive agenda.

But it’s pretty obvious what the party needs to do, and it doesn’t have anything to do with throwing marginalized groups under the bus. They just need, as Stewart said, a clear set of “New Deal” values and a clear agenda that can help people. That agenda includes a livable minimum wage, easy unionization, an end to homelessness, a robust fight to stop the climate crisis, Medicare For All, authentic public safety that reduces both imprisonment and violence, and a commitment to peace and global cooperation."

#DanaNessel also launched a bad-faith smear campaign against fellow #Democrat #RashidaTlaib in September 2024, just as absentee ballots were being sent out. She probably helped Trump win the state.

When Democrats sneer at those who didn't vote Dem because of genocide ... and hoping Trump will do worse ...

.. are admitting the premise that they were complicit in genocide.

Elon Musk’s PAC is dumping money into the crucial race.

" #Musk is throwing big bucks behind the #Republican candidate in Wisconsin’s #SupremeCourt race...

That single seat on the 7 member panel will determine whether the #court is controlled by #Democrats or #Republicans, at a time when the judicial system has emerged as the only check on #Trump 's agenda"

For those non-voters who wanted to send a message to Biden and the Democrats: not only did you f@ck it up for the people of Palestine, you gave the Ukraine to Russia and totally f@cked your own country.

Well done, dumbasses. Well done.

And remember folks, many so-called #ProgLibs #Democrats are really, as #Obama claimed to be himself, "Moderate #Republicans... ie. Moderate #Fascists.

"When you understand that the #DemocraticParty is NOT a leftist party, but a right-wing #capitalists party and the #RepublicanParty is a far-right #neofascists party then you realize why every piece of legislation and bailout in Washington DC ALWAYS puts corporations over people." -Ryan Knight 2:33 PM 23 Dec 20


It’s obscene that so many pundits and #media speak as if #Trump, #Elon, and the #religiousnuts around them are rational. Like Trump has a plan, and what they are doing makes any kind of sense. It really is #sanewashing. I think the so-called #liberalmedia is complicit. I can hear the arguments, “you’re a both side centrist”. 1)no. I’m a socialist. 2)yes the #Democrats are nearly as bad. I was watching a couple old boomer pundits talking about this and one said there hasn’t been good leadership since Reagan. The last 40 years have been one long slide into oblivion. If #America was going to course correct, it should have been after Watergate, but it didn’t 1/2

Suddenly Democrats have found the will to block some military aid heading to Israel.

#Democrats #DNC #Gaza #Israel #IOF
Democratic lawmakers have already placed a hold on a $1 billion arms sale to Israel, which would include 1,000-pound bombs and armored bulldozers built by Caterpillar.


The telltale sign you're in a cult is if you can't see the flaws of the cult's leaders. #Democrats don't see anything wrong with Biden overseeing a genocide in #gaza.. but it's wrong when #Trump does it.


At least no #Democrats voted to confirm #RussellVought. Small consolation, but something.
