Bari Weiss, circa 1944; “The media has already written about genocide in the concentration camps. We won’t run this story until we can get Himmler or Eichmann to sit down on the record and discuss it.”

January 6 was like a much dumber version of Hitler’s Beer Hall Putsch and yet a plurality of American voters were like, Yeah, let’s give that guy the nuke codes again. An absolutely world historical debacle of societal ignorance. I’ll never understand it.

AOC: Donald Trump and Stephen Miller want you to believe that this is who we are as a country. And we are here to say that it is not. We are a country that has fought and defeated the confederacy. That has defeated a history of civil rights violations, of secret police, of fascism.

AOC: I want to remind you where the real crime is. It's in the oligarchs taking $170 billion of our money from health care and food assistance and public programs and taking that and funneling it into a secret police program.

The worst and fakest show on cable news.

It's the opposite of "the buck stops here". He is selling out Admiral Bradley and sending chills down the spines of his chain of command, who now know their boss will sell them out if he is taking heat. A case study in how not to lead.

Looks like Trump and Hegseth might be preparing to throw the military under the bus on the second strike. This is why you don’t execute illegal orders. Because you are responsible

The house and senate have both expressed interest in investigating the strike on survivors of the first boat strike. Both Hegseth and adm Bradley will need to answer some questions. This is why a reminder to not follow illegal orders is important

I just don’t see how we can pretend even for a moment that anything involving our federal government is remotely normal when the president is covering up his involvement in a child sex trafficking ring. Like, what are we doing here

Innocent people wouldn’t need to hold an emergency meeting to try to find a way to block the release of the Epstein Files

There is no Dem who thinks that Schumer voting No washes his hands of it. He is the captain of the ship and owns the process and end result. If he can’t run the team, then someone else needs to. Hopefully the other Dem senators understand the mood of the voters. If not, you will.

Democrats asked for ONE THING today to reopen the govt: Keep health insurance subsidies where they are at now for one year. That is IT. Nothing else. Republicans said no. So all the lies they tell every day about things Dems are asking for is BS. Republicans OWN this shutdown.

The CA Republicans who lose their seats in Congress next year should not forget to thank Donald Trump and Greg Abbott. Without their help, it would have been a lot more difficult to end your political careers.

Perfect response from @neguse.house.gov here. Watch this.

We always get these huge Trump announcements with much media hype and fanfare with lots of big promises and assurances, effusively praising himself looking for awards & prizes, while experts say the details are scarce or nonexistent. Then a short time later we get the reality.

So proud to kick off today’s inspiring, record setting No Kings rally in DC. Twice the size of the first No Kings DC rally. Nationally, the early numbers suggest today was the BIGGEST DAY OF PEACEFUL PROTEST IN OUR NATION’S HISTORY. LFG. We have a democracy to save.

NYPD announces that zero arrests were made at the massive No Kings protests today after Republicans spent days claiming the protestors are violent terrorists.

Authoritarianism is a cancer. And it's growing, metastasizing. In America. Now. YOU are the cure. Do your part and join us on Saturday. Do it for your country. For the Constitution. For your freedoms. While you still can. @ofthebraveusa.bsky.social

Caribbean queen handles her business with masked federal agents

Senate is back in session today. 1/ So a quick 🧵on where things are at on the shutdown. You get a lot of propaganda and spin thrown at you, so I want to give you the real, behind-the-scenes tea.

When Republicans are pre-butting a pro-democracy rally like No Kings and making shit up left and right to scare people, you know they're losing and in panic mode. Pedal to the floor.

The entire Trump administration is full of shit.

Reporting live from Chicago, there’s no “hellscape” I’d rather be in.

Just bone chilling. And when the imprisonment of critics is combined with his offer to enrich and immunize his loyalists, this is how democracies die fast. But it's still our choice. Don't let him silence you.

Anyone who lived in NY in the ‘90s knew Trump was a con artist & a two-bit hustler who bankrupted businesses over and over. There’s a reason 9 out of 10 people in Manhattan didn’t vote for him. But Mark Burnett convinced millions of reality TV-watching Americans he was a successful businessman.

A year ago, both Trump’s former chief of staff John Kelly and his top military advisor Mark Milley warned America that Trump was a “fascist.” As Milley said: “He is the most dangerous person ever…he's a total fascist. He is now the most dangerous person to this country.”

I know I said WE would never let this happen here. I know that the WORLD said it can never happen again… Yet… Here we are!

The government is in full shutdown and the Republicans are refusing to call the House back into session. Want to know why? Because we have secured the final vote on releasing the Epstein Files and they don’t want it out. Call GOP and tell them to swear in @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social.

To be clear: most 2019 dem candidates supported extending healthcare covg options to undocumented immigrants, but those policies never became law. Today - there are no democratic proposals that include such coverage. Claiming Dems shut down the govt over healthcare covg for migrants is FALSE

Joni Ernst’s lifelong legacy for women serving in the military from her time in the Senate is Pete Hegseth. Every woman denied promotion, denied a job specialty, sexually harassed, or forced out for bs reasons, owes it all to Ernst and the Republican Party.

The Corporate Media is absolutely going to refuse to say the truth when it comes to Thomas Sanford. He was radicalized by the right wing Christian Nationalists like Charlie Kirk. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

Blaming Democrats for a shutdown when you control the House, Senate, and the White House only proves you can't govern.

We aren't on a slippery slope to a constitutional crisis. We are IN the crisis. Time for leaders - political leaders, business leaders, civic leaders - to pick a side: democracy or autocracy?

As I said on MSNBC ten days ago, of which I was fired for, "hateful thoughts lead to hateful words lead to hateful actions".

Trump’s Border Czar, Tom Homan, is on video allegedly taking a $50,000 bribe from undercover FBI agents. But as soon as Trump took office, that FBI investigation was DOA. The Trump Administration is just a gift to grift, but Democrats are fighting back. youtu.be/ClPGl9hHi40?...

Donald is trying to get the AG to find a reason to prosecute his opponents, but is fine with Tom Homan taking a bribe. Got it. Most corrupt president in history

Go fash, lose cash

The Pentagon would politicize the military if it uses Charlie Kirk's death for recruitment The military is supposed to be an apolitical institution. The Trump administration is trying to change that.

Watch the Dutch kick Disney in their tiny mouse gonads…

AOC: We should be clear about who Charlie Kirk was. A man who believed that the civil rights act that granted black Americans the right to vote was a mistake… His rhetoric and beliefs were ignorant, uneducated, and sought to disenfranchise millions of Americans.

If Democrats ever get power again there needs to be a proper reckoning. Criminals need to be indicted, prosecuted and convicted for trying to subvert our democracy and rights for Trump. There is no room for Merrick Garlands and milquetoast centrists anymore. You need accountability.

Crockett: "If I had one issue with the Biden/Harris administration, it is the fact that they did not move forward and make sure that this man was put where he should've been put ... I never had a defended that had 34 convictions for felonies and did not spend one day in jail. Never in my life."

I would love to be part of the conversation on MSNBC related to the Kimmel story and it's chilling effects on first amendment, but unfortunately I was terminated by MSNBC for stating that "hateful thoughts lead to hateful words which lead to hateful actions".

WGA Statement on ABC’s Decision to Pull Jimmy Kimmel Live!

People thought they were getting cheaper groceries but they got fascism.

This is all truly mind-blowing. The impact of cowardly corporate interests kowtowing to naked authoritarian power hits home today like a meteor falling on DC or Times Square. Signs are everywhere. We are, today, not an entirely free society.

Just so I'm clear: TV host says we should kill every homeless person? No big deal TV host says the right must "go to war" with the left? Pfft. TV host says the government is cracking down on critics? Well, the government cracks down on him for the criticism. Free speech, everyone.
