The lack of subtlety and finesse, at least within the administration, seems to be on purpose. They think it makes them look strong. I would argue it is intentional provocation to justify punitive actions they want to take anyway.

Landry rushed to clarify he isn't resigning as governor of Louisiana and this will be, like, his side gig I guess. The state constitution explicitly bans state officeholders from simultaneously holding any federal office.

I would say I'm "dusting this off" but I get such use out of it, dust cannot collect on it.

I find it hard to believe the person who green lit the "uh these skeleton Palestinian children had *other* ailments" story felt the heavily reported story on a concentration camp the administration itself promoted with selfies and influencers just need more buttoning-up.

Worth noting, I guess, that inside of a year we've gone from administration officials taking selfies of themselves at CECOT and bragging about how it's hell on earth to now getting their horrible little media worms to kill stories about it

The opening to tonight's "60 Minutes" is, uh, different!

Well, she's with the right crew.

Even the Republicans released their post-2012 autopsy following Romney's loss. They almost immediately bailed on it but at least they released it.

Trump adding his name to the Kennedy Center is tinpot dictator stuff and illegal. The funny part is the façade says "John F. Kennedy Memorial Center for the Performing Arts." By adding his name, it sounds like Trump is dead.

I first met Matt nearly 20 years ago. He’s Good People. Smart af, righteous dude. He’d be an outstanding congressman. Smash all the buttons, y’all

A candidate running on dismantling ICE, you say?

Guys, the cover-up is going off flawlessly.

Today we salute you @tobymorton.bsky.social, writer with "South Park" and "MadTV" credits.

There hasn’t been a single development which introduced any doubt into Trump’s involvement.

Then he will use his unlimited pardon power to render them unaccountable. A pardon power a previous Supreme Court ruled is not subjected to congressional control. Any democratic reform effort must include a constitutional amendment with provisions which restrict presidential pardon powers.

Longtime Dem operative Matt Ortega, who was Hillary Clinton's digital communications director in 2016, has joined the race for the open #CA14 (Eric Swalwell is running for gov)

Is Trump asking for long-form birth certificates again?

When Democrats reclaim a majority, there are a lot of fires to contain and accountability for the arsonists is absolutely critical. Without it, we'll be right back here sooner than people want to admit. It's going to require leaders willing to fight for it. I will.

There's no "turning the page" after Trump. The impunity enjoyed by Trump's henchmen will not last forever. It must be made clear we will not forget what they did and they will be held to account. This includes prosecutions.

What an ingenious way to keep doctors close to the president in plain sight.

It's the most corrupt administration ever. It must be repeated over and over. This election is who will fight for you. A Republican majority too weak to uphold its oath is too weak to deliver for you. Relentless oversight is coming.

Don't worry, it will go into bankruptcy and be forcibly dissolved pretty soon if history is any indicator.

Trump's speech was basically the press' interpretation of Jimmy Carter's supposed "malaise" speech in 1979.

I have to stop calling everybody I've ever met to pick up my sons. Fatherhood doesn't stop on "announcement day." We could never afford to send both to daycare. One stayed home until the other went to TK at a public school. It should be easier for families than this. Let's fight for it.

I would've voted no without hesitation. Leave trans kids alone.

They said this about "prioritizing" undocumented immigrants with criminal records. More than half of ICE arrests had no criminal record. These people are liars whose word isn't worth a dime. If they were serious about "unlawfully obtained U.S. citizenship," they would start with Elon Musk.

For my family and yours, I'm running for Congress. We cannot afford this broken system any longer. Higher premiums. Expensive groceries. A criminal administration's knee on our neck while the powerful pick our pockets. It's unsustainable and it must end. I'm ready for the fight.

Just got this notification. My business has a small shipment of Colombian tea currently in customs in Miami. We paid $965 for the tea. The Trump administration is taxing us an additional $142.84.

Total capitulation.

this is not behavior becoming of a FIFA Peace Prize recipient.

The Republican set sure loves to use "they/them" pronouns.

They announced the escalation of their investigation into Kelly for reminding service members of their duty to refuse illegal orders on the same day Hegseth illegally ordered subordinates to murder nine more unarmed people in boats.

They didn’t even do this during motherfucking WORLD WAR II

For some reason, former Alabama attorney general Bill Baxley's reply to a letter from the Grand Dragon of the Ku Klux Klan comes to mind: "My response to your letter of February 19, 1976, is—kiss my ass."

"Women: can't live with them, can't force them to have your baby or be within a 1,000 yards of them."

Oh no, it's high school all over again.

I think where Trump differs from Congressional Republicans on the filibuster is, they see it as something they will want to use in the future, whereas he's thinking of killing it as a step toward permanent rule. Kill it, pass laws that make it impossible for Dems to win again, bada bing.

But then how will they be able to write that lucrative book and score a book party in Kalorama?
