It’s annexation all but in name.

trump just invented a carbon tax from first principles lmfao

Something crazy is going to happen this weekend because Aaron is gone, huh?

People keep resigning from the Trump admin because the Trump admin wants them to commit clear crimes. www.huffpost.com/entry/assist...

Trump's corruption knows no bounds. Here we have a single scheme, but double the corruption: He is corrupting the government (yet again) by soliciting these bribes. & he’s corrupting the markets by encouraging & enabling insider trading. He is positively prolific in his pursuit of corruption.

Next Friday will mark *17* years since the last increase in the federal minimum wage.

The Congressional Black Caucus PAC and Clyburn endorsing Haley Stevens is the latest illustration that many prominent Black Dem politicians are more invested in defending the center-left/establishment wing of the party than any other cause. Remember that Clyburn endorsed Cuomo in NYC last year.

The scene in "Pressure" where Allied command listens to reports from the D-Day landings and you see invasion forces pinned down. Then one soldier gets up and charges forward, then another, then you see a whole platoon in full sprint, braving a hail of gunfire. That hit me harder than expected.

Tim Pool was paid by a Russian front to create content. This is definitely the dumbest timeline…

The Democratic presidential debates need to have spring loaded traps underneath each candidate and any time one of them says "we need to move on" or "I'm focused on the future, not the past" they should be immediately launched through the roof of the auditorium.

That's only because who in their right mind has an Olive Garden Pasta Pass? We probably *should* check their papers.

This is why I pledged to purge Palantir from the federal government and pushed for a House Select Committee on DOGE. This stuff right here:

We will one day find out some 40-50 years from now that Trump was probably monetizing government secrets or just giving them away hoping some dictator somewhere would be his friend.

No doubt they will Terri Schiavo him through November.

I literally ran on this in my congressional race but didn't raise much money. People need to chip in, even just $5, to candidates who will push for what is necessary.

Deterrence

We could've had an organizer as party chair.

The most corrupt president and administration in history.

Hegseth's actions against Black and female officers is very clear race and gender discrimination. Any half decent business would fire him in the hopes they could stave off a million dollar suit.

It's all so stupid. It's a fire. They didn't set it on purpose. This is what happens when an entire political party is both expected to get crushed in the next election *and* extremely online. They just flock to whatever the zeitgeist is at the moment and pull this shit.

"Liberalism for the 21st Century," brought to you by the Institute for the Study of Modern Authoritarianism, featuring a speaker who suggested hanging women who have abortions.

And stupid. You forgot stupid

actual gestapo shit. "Video posted on social media showed two plainclothes Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents appearing to handcuff a man at a Las Vegas airport while he screamed in terror."

It depresses me greatly that there are people who claim to be "liberals" and say nonsense like this. I am a New Deal liberal and I do not recognize this unstrategic drivel as "liberal."

Can't do 1 or 3* without expanding and rebalancing the Supreme Court because if you try Sam Alito will crumple your cute "end citizens united and gerrymandering" law up and throw it in your face. * or probably 2 but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

it's hard to imagine what it's like being a jewish candidate for senate facing an opponent whose son-in-law is a neo-nazi. particularly in 2026.

This is a blatantly unconstitutional threat. The executive branch has zero constitutional power to tell states how to run their elections - zero. Nor does DHS have the constitutional power to threaten state and local officials with jail time if they fail to abide by the executive branch’s demands.

This is exactly why trump is filling his diaper about Georgia and the midterms. Strap the fuck in. It's gonna be even crazier than I expected. He's gonna pull on every lever possible and part of the whole "fraud" talk was so he can send Feds to the polls.

Updates on Ukraine’s drone program remind me of the rapid evolution of the civilization that grows on Lisa Simpson’s baby tooth.

It must be Friday, y’all!

Their cries of “free speech” were always bullshit. It was obvious they were bullshit. Yet people went along with it and empowered these ghouls.

*Trying* to get it for some much needed time off. 😂

The Daily Show made a joke the other night that Taco Bell pulling ingredients despite the outbreak not tied to any particular supplier or restaurant at that time. Michael Kosta as Taco Bell: "They just heard 'explosive diarrhea' and were like, 'Yeah, that must've been us. We'll take it."

Japan moving towards nationalism… *adds third piece of gum, chews faster*

This is crystal-clear projection to serve as justification for political repression and, frankly, murder. (See: Pretti, Alex for instance.)

Predicted the same when they brought him to court.

Here we go, the full Carl Schmitt Nazi strategy: Steve Bannon calls for a "national security emergency executive order" to rig the election. They have been planning this since day one. Bannon even wrote the foreword to "Unhumans." www.mediamatters.org/voter-fraud-...

The elections are so smooth it is like they don't even have them. (They don't have elections.)

I am genuinely curious how many voters fashion themselves "independent" (thus above it all) but if you asked their positions on individual issues they are like 80% or higher one political party and just can't admit it to themselves.

getting sued and losing billions for election lies really sharpens the fox’s nose for sour grapes

fwiw here is a link to download the north carolina voter file. congratulations you have now apparently done election espionage! www.ncsbe.gov/results-data...

Trump refers to mail-in ballots as "corrupt." He votes by mail. This is an utter horseshit attempt to stave off an impending election disaster for Republicans.

And he was impeached the *first time* for trying to coerce the Ukrainians into interfering in the 2020 election by announcing a shame investigation of the Bidens. The man tried his best to *solicit foreign interference*

Many states require all voter registration signatures collected to be turned in even if there are obvious fake names. During his first term, Trump demonstrated a hostility to election security and fired the senior DHS official in charge with keeping elections secure.

Why is everything so stupid?

Statement from Annie Farmer on meeting with Todd Blanche: "After meeting with Todd Blanche, I feel even more confident in urging senators to vote against his confirmation as the United States' Attorney General. "I found him abrasive, condescending, and intentionally noncommittal to survivors."

The congressional seat for which I ran, #CA14, had zero in-person candidate debates. When Eric Swalwell resigned in disgrace, the special election held two weeks after the regular primary also had zero in-person candidate debates. #CA14 is half the size of Maine's population.

I think we can see the playbook for this year's midterms.
