I feel sick to my stomach waiting around to see what atrocity Trump has in mind for the people of Iran this evening. It's hard to fathom our other elected leaders aren't able to check him in any meaningful way. It's an indictment not just of voters but of our whole system. We're ruled by a mad king.

Disinformation has not only become a billion dollar industry, its party policy.

Mockler: So your theory, first of all, is that Cricket walked in on Bryon Noem in the act, saw too much, and that’s why Cricket had to meet this unfortunate, tragic ending? Moskowitz: Dogs know all our secrets. Cricket knew.

It's easy to understand the GOP strategy. They are the party of billionaires. They represent 1% of the vote. So they have to pull tricks to get elected.

Do people realize how many migrants work for ground crews and airports? Most of plane catering, cabin cleaning crews, airport shop employees that I came in contact while flying were held some sort of immigration status. Don't be surprised when they stop coming to work to hide from the Gestapo.

We can now apparently add "narco terrorist' to the list of projected crimes. They can't even make up their accusations. It always has to be something they are already doing.

remarkable speech, highly recommend listening

:)

This is a great example of how money is trying to kill democracy

Yes. This is transparently the plan. It is a destructive and unconstitutional plan. And it can be stopped. It can even be turned into an electoral issue that hurts Trump. But only if we face this now.

WASHINGTON: Despite republicans’ best efforts, including a 24 hour filibuster-style debate — “the state house approved a levy on incomes over $1 million… pays for free breakfast & lunch for k-12 students…” news.bloombergtax.com/daily-tax-re...

Also why Bondi et al are moving onto military bases?

You can have the best armed forces in the history of the world, but if you are an incompetent criminal without a plan, you can still lose a war, and rather quickly.

I was in a 2 hour briefing today on the Iran War. All the briefings are closed, because Trump can't defend this war in public. I obviously can't disclose classified info, but you deserve to know how incoherent and incomplete these war plans are. 1/ Here's what I can share:

Idiots

In the day, a friend of mine in Chicago said The Buzzcocks are the new Beatles. Listening to them tonight I can see why he said that. Even if he was wrong.

They can't even copy right

So that's where it comes from

War based on a myth that plays well on TV. And Trump watches a lot of TV.

Let's go Kat!

No plan, just chaos. And who benefits?

oh man, that hurts because it's so close to the bone

"Trump’s attack on Iran ... reveals that Trump’s military adventure against Iran is also fundamentally an attack on the United States of America."

Penultimate skating day at Bryant Park. Clear sign of spring!

killer analysis - but so many annoying commercials

Yikes: ' Timothy Snyder wrote that Trump is “failing at fascism” because “he needs a bloody, popular, victorious war” as an opportunity to “to kill one’s own people and thereby generate a reservoir of meaning that could be used to justify indefinite rule and further oppression.” '

Didn’t watch the State of the Union address? Here’s everything you need to know about it. And you’ll definitely want to know. Here’s your response to anyone who says he was presidential last night: open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

Man Banna Ball sold out two games at Yankee Stadium almost as fast as Bruce Springsteen sold out two concerts at Madison Square Garden! I guess I will not be going again this year ;-)

Almost before the snow stopped they were already out clearing downed trees and branches. Streets were open and passable.

Oh man, close to the bone here!

I really like James. As the son of an ordained Christian minister his take on Christianity resonates. I like his perspective on politics overall as well.

In which we discover further details of Trump's destructive narcissism for profit, and remember how he asked why George Washington never put his name on anything (how would anyone remember him if he didn't?). How opposite he is from America's traditions, and how consistently he lies about it.

Yes, wow

Exhibit one in the case for The Blues Brothers as the best blues band ever. Tom Malone's trombone solo nailing down the center of a great string of solos youtu.be/euJ22UqLD5Y?...

Yep

@jesseduquette.bsky.social 🔥🔥🔥

If only the entire Democratic Party spoke every single day the way Jamie Raskin is speaking to Pam Bondi right now.

this one hits home

I and millions of Americans believe exactly the same thing Kasparov does. Too many troops, too many new prisons, too much money not under Congressional supervision. We're not just witnessing a mass deportation scheme anymore. This is something significantly bigger and scarier.

Ideally, in a democracy, we’d know who is spending millions trying to change public opinion on the secret police. But, in the American system, that’s just not how it works.

Why isn’t every politician, leader, prosecutor, and news channels focused on this. The President is accused with significant proof of killing and raping minors.

They may make a lot of noise and generate controversy, but there are far, far fewer of them than there are of us.

Rock n Roll in the stadium!

Green Day is like mainstream
