Gov. Tim Walz: "I think we need a shadow government so when all these things come up, every single day, we have an alternate press conference telling the truth about what things are happening." #Trump#politics
@br00t4c Accepting campaign contributions from corporate donors was always a good idea, but now it is essential in order to have a chance against Trump's candidates who have unlimited funds from Musk. Rahm Emanuel has excellent ideas and he did amazingly well in his most recent job, as Ambassador to Japan. We need our best people to defeat Trump's candidates, and Rahm is one of our best people. I do not agree with him on every issue, but I agree with him on many issues.
You, @br00t4c, can't think of another Democrat more unsuited to the current moment than Rahm Emanuel?
Here is my list of the Top Ten Democrats more unsuited than Rahm Emanuel: Joe 'Heck of a Debate' Biden, Kamala 'Lost to Trump' Harris, Hillary 'Lost to Trump' Clinton, Bernie 'A Great Guy But Too Old' Sanders, Jared 'Dem who Voted Wrong on the CR' Golden, Tulsi 'MAGA' Gabbard, RFK 'MAGA' Jr., Eric 'Saved By Trump' Adams, Nancy 'Too Old' Pelosi, and John 'Lost to Bush' Kerry. #politics
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez: "Republicans run the House, the Senate, and the White House. You run the government. If you have the votes, then go ahead. If you need Democrats, then you need to negotiate with Democrats. Those are your two options." #politics#CR
Ron Filipkowski: "Rep. Luna claims the FBI Director in New York was just fired for obstructing release of the Epstein files. When asked for her source. Luna said: 'As of right now, it appears to be so. I just saw this being reported on X, so I haven’t had time to confirm it'.” #WhatAnIdiot#BaselessClaims#politics
Trump said about Putin: “I think he’ll keep his word.”
Julia Davis remembered that Stalin said about Hitler: “I think he’ll keep his word.” That was before Hitler's armies invaded Russia. #history#gullibility#PutinsPuppet
Dan Pfeiffer: "By banning dissenting opinions from the Washington Post opinion page, Jeff Bezos is once again showing the danger of media ownership from billionaires in corporations seeking favor from the government (and Presidents) they are supposed to cover without fear or favor." #media#politics
Stuart Stevens: "Republicans allowed Trump to break them. These weak people claimed they were strong on national security. Now Russia’s choice runs American intelligence. They claimed they cared about families. Now a former heroin junkie who opposes the mandatory vaccines that have ended polio, whooping cough, measles, is running American health services. Why did they surrender their Constitutional responsibilities to please a felon? They deserve no respect, only shame and scorn." #politics
Abby Phillip: "If race is not the motivating issue for this administration, why is DEI mentioned every day as the cause of every challenge facing this country?" #racism#politics
Maybe it is just a coincidence, but Pres. Carter will lie in state in the US Capitol, and afterwards Pres. Trump will lie in his State of the Union speech at the US Capitol.
