BREAKING: Doug Ford just unveiled a massive sign reading “Lake Ontario Now and Always” on the shoreline of Lake Ontario.
Trump would hate it if this went viral.

KEEP REPOSTING.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The Constitution does not say this. The exact text states:
“The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.”

This is @RepMikeLawler (R-NY). If he votes for this bill,
32,216 of his constituents would lose access to their healthcare.
18,264 of his constituents could lose access to their food assistance.

We now know that the GOP's Big Ugly bill would allow for the sale of 250 MILLION acres of public land. 5.4 million in Washington state.
We can't let them jam this through in secret.
Help me say it loud and clear for Republicans: Public lands belong in public hands.

THEN: Lawler promised he would NOT cut Medicaid.
NOW: He says "it is not a major cut"
REALITY: It's the largest cut to Medicaid in history.
NEW – Mike Lawler defends his support for gutting Medicaid: “It is not a major cut”
@lawler4ny is backing the largest cut to Medicaid in history that would put the health care of over 2 million New Yorkers at risk.

Rep. McGovern: Why are Republicans holding this hearing at 1am? Why are you trying to ram it through in the dead of night? If you're so proud to kick millions off Medicaid, rip food assistance from families, and shut down rural hospitals, why not hold this hearing at 1pm?

This is retired Army Staff Sergeant Sean Ortega, the first openly trans service member. He served three tours in Iraq and Afghanistan and was involved in 400 combat missions.
RETWEET if you stand with Staff Sergeant Ortega against the Trump Administration's hateful actions!

Sixty Minutes just confirmed what we knew: Trump’s running the White House like a mob family. His orders tell law firms, “Drop your clients or lose contracts.” That’s straight-up bribery, not governing. If GOP shrugs, they’re accomplices—full stop.

RISE UP! DON'T ALLOW THIS.
Smithsonian begins removing exhibits and artifacts from the African American History Museum. There is no justification for removing African American history, from the African American museum. Imagine removing the balls from the Baseball Hall of Fame! dcnewsnow.com/news/local-new…

🚨NEW: Donald Trump has fired National Security Agency Director and 4-Star General Tim Haugh at the request of far-right conspiracy theorist Laura Loomer. He served over 30 years in the U.S. Navy.

🙋🏻♂️ Hand up if you’re furious with @SenSchumer for caving and announcing he’s a yes vote on Trump’s evil bill that guts Veterans healthcare and will kill many of them 🙋🏻♂️
