@ericlisann.bsky.social: It's pretty surreal to watch @harrylitman.bsky.social expressing "DEFCON 9" levels of outrage to @sykescharlie.bsky.social at Trump's latest pardon-palooza of, among others, the six unindicted coconspirators in Smith's Jan. 6 case? Why is [1/3] youtu.be/Nhr-nze4AIo?...

Pizzagate: If you replace the word “hot dog” with “little boy” and “pizza party” with “child sex orgy,” you will see the lengths these elites go to cover up their crimes. Real elite emails: Send me nude pictures of those 8th graders we abused last weekend post-haste! I am the Ambassador to Turkey.

I just walked out of federal court where I pleaded NOT GUILTY to the charges against me. I will continue to stand up to authoritarianism and call this out for what it is: a political prosecution.

I hope @joannacoles.bsky.social cuts the chummy chat with Michael Wolff and instead holds his feet to the fire about these pretty damning emails on the next #InsideTrumpsHead podcast. (Assuming Wolff even goes on; if he doesn’t, that alone will speak volumes.) bsky.app/profile/pbum...

Lol. bsky.app/profile/ronf...

Yes, Maxwell committed perjury. But so did DOZENS of officials during Trump’s first term. Hell, <6 weeks into Trump 1.0, it was ALREADY being widely reported that multiple members of his Cabinet had lied under oath. And how many were prosecuted by Garland yrs. later? ZERO. bsky.app/profile/will...

Great visualization of the problem. Time to get rid of the electoral college

UPDATE — Here are the at least 10 congressional Democrats, 5 Democratic-aligned organizations, and 6 Democratic Senate candidates calling for Chuck Schumer to resign as leader:

Instead of folding like cheap chairs, Democrats should have forced the GOP to end the shutdown by killing the filibuster. Holding onto the archaic, antidemocratic tradition doesn't help them stop fascism, it makes them complicit to it. My latest in @thenation.com www.thenation.com/article/poli...

I'm trying out a new kind of post where I take a "retrospective" look back at a random tweet from ~2021-2023 containing speculation about what Garland/DOJ were doing to investigate Trump & co. – & then compare it to what Garland/DOJ were ACTUALLY doing at the time to investigate Trump & co. [1/2]

It’s insane to treat the filibuster as the most sacrosanct. Article 1 power of the purse, oversight, and war? Nah. Emoluments clauses? Bribery prohibition? Meh. Criminal law? 14A? Doesn’t count. But maybe the Senate changes a rule it has multiple times before? Gasp! Not that. Anything but that.

Not one Democrat spoke up to slow this down. Indeed they all agreed to speed it up.

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 bsky.app/profile/ronf...

At least Dems got a ceremonial vote on the ACA subsidies in the senate so Susan Collins can vote against her party on that knowing it won’t pass but she’ll be able to run on another vote that allows her to pretend to be a moderate. The deal is an in-kind contribution to Collins.

Hearing now that @chrismurphyct.bsky.social will allow the fast-tracking of the capitulation CR. If any senator objects, the bill passage could be delayed until Friday. But apparently zero Senators have objected to the scheduling motion on the hotline. Zero!

Trump’s DOJ have stated they will continue to fight against fighting SNAP. The USDA has reiterated its BAN on grocery stores offering discounts to SNAP recipients who can’t afford food. It’s a good thing the Dems didn’t do something nonsensical like cave for no reason…

And yet some Democratic politicos are trying to convince us that if we elect a Democratic trifecta in 2028, THIS time they will have learned their lesson and will ACTUALLY see to it that elite traitorous GOPers are held criminally accountable? 😂🤣😂🤣😂 bsky.app/profile/nich...

@senategabe.bsky.social: @ericlisann.bsky.social's comment on your post about unanimous consent made me wonder -- are you aware of a single time a sitting Democratic U.S. Senator has addressed the issue of why they never even consider weaponizing unanimous consent? 1/ bsky.app/profile/eric...

I missed this awful detail in the Senate deal: helping politicians who conspired against America as part of Trump's coup hide their phone records. That's right, as ICE brutally violates rights in ways that leave people with no recourse, the Senate found time to protect their colleagues from justice.

Abolish the Senate. I am absolutely dead serious.

Hey @markjacob.bsky.social -- if you're interested, I heard that for Black Friday, @joshtpm.bsky.social will be offering memberships to his "Durbin is the Worst" anti-fan club for 50% off! bsky.app/profile/mark...

@normornstein.bsky.social: I know you think highly of Angus King & are friends with him. Could you maybe call him up & talk some sense into him? Thanks! bsky.app/profile/eric...

Just a reminder that Joe Biden's DOJ didn't prosecute a SINGLE one of these individuals. Which begs the question: If you plot a coup & the coup fails, what's even more valuable than a federal pardon? Answer: Merrick Garland as AG. bsky.app/profile/apne...

If you're a prominent GOP coup-plotter, what's even more valuable than a pardon? Merrick Garland. bsky.app/profile/jabb...

At first glance, it looks like Trump's latest pardon list includes nine of the names on my old "Garland DOJ Criminal Indictment Checklist." Spoiler: None of these nine individuals were ever prosecuted by Merrick Neville Chamberlain Garland's DOJ. bsky.app/profile/carl...

Correct me if I'm wrong, but Joe Biden's DOJ didn't prosecute a SINGLE one of these individuals. Who needs pardons when you have Merrick Neville Chamberlain Garland? bsky.app/profile/clim...

Grotesque and immoral doesn’t even begin to describe Trump’s pardoning of Rudy Giuliani.

Garland will remain--and forever be--the greatest enabler of Donald Trump. www.garlandsfolly.com

(🚨) BREAKING NEWS: Trump Pardons 75+ Alleged Coup Plotters in Second-Most Obscene and Corrupt U.S. Presidential Pardon Ever, After His Pardon of 1,600+ Insurrectionists; New Pardon Is Confirmation That President Is Traitor to the United States

www.nytimes.com/2025/11/10/u... Just a reminder that incompetent/coward Garland chose to not federally charge a single high level conspirator of the 34x felon so this corrupt pardon is largely symbolic. Garland is now shamefully a partner at Arnold & Porter. .

This is about more than health care. Republicans control Congress, the Presidency, the Supreme Court. They are wielding the gov’t like a weapon against their fellow Americans. If they want to keep funding such cruelty, corruption, and criminality, they can nuke the filibuster and get on with it.

Primary them all. Mercilessly. Relentlessly. They've got to go.

Dick Durbin can room with Merrick Garland in the Neville Chamberlain Retirement Home.

Nobody in American politics hates their own voters more than the Democratic Party

Cull the Democratic Party. Systematically chip away all the weak, corporate centrists and corrupt, gutless elected officials who refuse to fight and instead suck at the teat of the oligarchy.

Maybe important to note it was the disruption in air travel that Democrats couldn't stand and not, you know, 40+ million people not knowing where their next meal was coming from.

What a shocking revelation that Trump would do nothing when another person has a medical emergency. Seriously – it's been crystal clear exactly who Trump is for years & years. Yet Americans STILL decided to vote to make him their president a SECOND time. bsky.app/profile/wals...

It's a no-brainer for DHS to ignore the Fed Records Act. As Trump 1.0 came to a close, @normornstein.bsky.social & others repeatedly warned fed. employees that they'd "be prosecuted" if they destroyed records. Many did so anyway – & then Garland's DOJ did absolutely nothing. bsky.app/profile/brad...

Neal Katyal rec'd heaps of praise last week for his performance arguing against Trump's tariff's at SCOTUS. Fine. But I saw some saying he'd be a great Justice or AG. WTF!? Only 7 mos. ago, the law firm Katyal joined capitulated to Trump, & he said/did NOTHING publicly! bsky.app/profile/marc...

I feel like I've heard "there MUST be criminal accountability" before. @normornstein.bsky.social? But AG Garland didn't prosecute the sadistic sociopaths from Trump 1.0. So why should I have ANY faith the NEXT Dem-appt'd AG (assuming there even is one) will be any different? bsky.app/profile/gtco...

Absolutely, positively. And for the Caribbean boat strikes, too.

They weren't terrorists. They weren't cartel members. They had no fentanyl. And they weren't coming here. They were transporting cocaine. To Trinidad. Most importantly, they were human beings. And they were murdered. By the government of the United States of America.

writer at the Cook Political Report Example of how the DC media and thinktank world is wired for the Republican Party

So, 20-30 something males were tricked by Trump into supporting him. That’s what the 2025 elections seem to say. Can we trust they won’t be fooled again? I wouldn’t count on it.

Humanity is doing great The most evil American is the President of the United States The most evil man ever to become a US citizen after years of living here illegally will become the world's first trillionaire And the center of global democracy, the White House, will soon host an MMA cage match

The House will be out again next week. That's 20 work days in 19 weeks.

Seriously? He has no idea how insurance works or how to govern. I’ll never get over 77 million people thinking a man this incompetent belongs anywhere near the Oval Office.

How different the world would have been had the Rehnquist Court not been corrupt
