Trump can demolish an entire wing, pave over the Rose Garden, turn Biden’s presidential portrait into an autopen, and renovate the Lincoln bathroom. But now he thinks he gets to dictate what future presidents do with his Oval Office?

Save this tweet because Dems in Congress WILL vote for these two, will name them to leadership of both houses, and will destroy a historic night and opportunity we have to really change things. And don't tell me I'm doom and gloom because I've been right about all of this shit.
Donald Trump naming Stephen Miller Chief of Staff is a defiant act of war that will deliver more hate, horror and racism. If you believe Schumer+Jeffries can fight a war against Trump/Miller you are blind, deaf, dumb & staggeringly ignorant to the past two years. Think America.

OKC Mayor @davidfholt -- a Republican -- has been saying this for a decade. When I interviewed him in 2016 as an anchor for KOCO -- he presciently warned about devolving human decency. Let's hope -- no matter where you sit on the political spectrum -- we can swiftly return to more productive, respectful discourse (and even disagreement) for the good of our country.
A political party that is morally and intellectually bankrupt deserves the rebuke of the American people. It is now time to make America good again. That is an endeavor to which all Americans can contribute, for we are not Democrats, Republicans or Independents. We are humans, and the things that unite us far exceed the things that divide us. We are the caretakers of the American experiment, and the experiment has been rejuvenated tonight.

In Oklahoma, governor elect Mike Mazzei didn’t mix words at his first press conference. He just stood on stage and mumbled.

The leadership of #OKGOP seems to spend more time policing its membership than addressing the concerns of the people who actually live in Oklahoma. #DrainTheSwamp and elect new leadership.

Oklahomans should be asking: Are we attracting businesses that strengthen Oklahoma's economy, or are we being forced to help finance the infrastructure that makes those businesses profitable? Let businesses pay 💯 of the infrastructure costs up front.

If large-load customers are such a benefit to Oklahoma, why aren't residential customers seeing that benefit before being asked to pay more?
The #Oklahoma Corporation Commission approved a 3.55% increase to Public Service Company of Oklahoma's residential customer rates today that critics have argued is driven by efforts to attract large-load industrial projects, such as data centers. nondoc.com/2026/11/05/corpor…

And republicans voted for the pro turnpike candidate for governor
When Oklahoma’s turnpikes were built, drivers were promised they would eventually be free. Now, tolls are set to rise again in 2027 The OTA approved a new schedule that adds 15 cents per trip for passenger vehicles with a PIKEPASS. Here’s what’s changing👇okcfox.com/news/local/oklaho…

The #OKGOP is increasingly committed to: political loyalty over principle, party power over accountability, and ideological obedience over independent thought. That’s not principled conservatism. That’s political tribalism. Replace the leadership.

BREAKING: Oklahoma voters discover they can elect Republicans without waiting for #OKGOP leadership to tell them who to vote for. 3 endorsed. 2 wins. 6 statewide winners without formal party endorsement. Somebody might want to check the party’s leadership manual. #OKGOP

Replying to @kaitlancollins
Rep Massie said he already has the required 218 signatures needed for a discharge petition to force a House floor vote on the Epstein Files Transparency Act II (also called the Epstein 2.0 Act). I’m here for this.

Translation: We don’t own Greenland.
Trump continues to talk as if Greenland now belongs to the US which is not true: The purchase of—we didn’t purchase anything but if you look at Greenland, $5 trillion.

If you still support Trump, I don’t judge you for your choice of political party. I judge you for your lack of morals, ethics, compassion & humanity. I judge you for your support of racism, misogyny, pedophilia, homophobia, treason & fascism. So will others. So will history.
