the most corrupt administration in my lifetime

F them. F them for the endless nightmare of the past 10 years: one decent thing smashed after another by this black hole of a man.

Every time he says this he’s talking about a black person.

They showed him photos of the East Wing of the White House and told him it was Portland.

His brain is completely fried

The Chinese crypto tycoon who was in jail for money laundering helped Trump get rich, and then Trump pardoned him. Literally buying his way out of justice by directly paying the president

He literally struck a business deal with Trump’s crypto company to secure the pardon. Corruption on a Congolese scale.

I can't believe this is real

Government of the scammer, by the scammer, for the scammer

I saw A House of Dynamite this week. Sobering reminder that at any time we could be plunged into the worst disaster in history with little of no warning

A key attribute of thug trash is pathological sensitivity to criticism and mockery. Use it.

Note that other countries are talking soberly about whether or not it's possible to fill the vacuum left by the U.S. - not whether or not the U.S. is still looked to as a leader.

I for one think the Epstein Ballroom will be magnificent. I love the decor theme of “what if Uday Hussein ran a Ramada Inn.” And giving it a theme song everyone will associate with it is a stroke of brilliance! “Thank Heaven for Little Girls” is very catchy.

Earlier today, I looked quickly at a poll result showing that 1 in 8 Republicans think the No Kings protests were "mostly violent" — and half aren't sure if they were violent or peaceful. www.pbump.net/o/half-of-re...

Records obtained by ProPublica indicate that food banks across the country were expecting more than 27 million pounds of chicken, 2 million gallons of milk, 10 million pounds of dried fruit and 60 million eggs that never arrived.

WTF???

The president is establishing the principle that he can order the murder of anyone he deems a threat. And Congress is letting it happen.

To be crystal clear: trump is talking about taxpayers paying him millions of dollars as some sort of restitution because he was investigated for sending a mob to the US capitol on Jan 6th to overthrow the 2020 election. That might just be he most f*cked up thing he’s done since Jan 6th…

"But Trump never had a mandate to federalize, much less militarize, urban law enforcement. And twice in the last week, he essentially admitted it. Trump never told voters he would send troops into cities. And if he had, they wouldn’t have supported it." www.thebulwark.com/p/trump-admi...

We’re in this bizarre scenario where the president is incredibly unpopular and continues to do things that are unpopular, and often illegal, and indeed are devastating attacks on the very constitutional structure of the US - and yet everyone dodges out of his way as if he has a popular mandate

Clearly, someone doesn't trust the Army to follow illegal orders.

Am I getting into heaven, chat?

I hate this "hoax" stuff. "Russiagate" is a vague term that applies to a variety of suspicions and allegations regarding Trump's relationship with Putin. Some turned out to be well-founded, others could not be proven and thus must be discounted. Labeling them all as a "hoax" is profoundly dishonest.

*Trump destroys the legal and constitutional heritage of the US* Dems: "We can't make noise about this, it's not concrete enough for voters" *Trump destroys the literal, physical White House* Dems: "We can't make noise about this, not when the legal and constitutional heritage is at stake"

WT flying F?

You're usually on the right side of history when you're against the armed masked men abducting people in the streets.

Food allergies in children dropped sharply in the years after new guidelines encouraged parents to introduce infants to peanuts, a new study found.

The biggest obstacle to organizing is that people feel like they are alone. The entire thrust of the Trump propaganda machine is to make people who object to him feel alone - and possibly out of their minds. In this respect, a cocktail hour, much less a march, is a step in the right direction.

Remember April 2009 when about 250,000 people took to America’s streets in Tea Party rallies and the media was like “oh man, the Dems are in trouble?” Approximately 28X as many people took to the streets to protest Trump yesterday. Didn’t even make the NYT front page.

President Trump said he would pull aid to Colombia and threatened unspecified additional action after its leader accused the U.S. of murdering a fisherman with its strikes on vessels in the Caribbean. Follow live updates.

Can the Times et al actually explain their coverage priorities, even internally? How is it that any hint of denigration of Americans by a Dem is front-page news, but the president publishing video in which he calls himself "King Trump" and flies a plane dumping sewage on Americans' heads NOT news?

The event organizers say 7m people showed up. That would mean ~1 out of every 50 Americans came out to protest the president

Don’t let the frogwater that’s boiling us alive let you skip over this: we murdered another country’s citizens in cold blood, and when their leader objected, we called him a drug dealer and cut off aid to his country. That’s freakish.

Trump’s Republicans made themselves absolutely ridiculous saying this would be a “Hate America” riot that only the National Guard could control.

The only explanation for this is that these people would disprove the administration’s narrative about the identity of the people we are murdering. I’m a little surprised they didn’t just straight-up murder these two in custody. That’s who the government is now.

Remember back in January when all these sage politics-knowers were writing about how there had been a vibe shift and now the resistance was over? lol. lmao.

I want to take a moment for some minor media criticism. For those who are reading these posts from somewhere other than #Tucson, I assure that the #NoKings protest here today is entirely peaceful. Families are bringing their kinds, people are armed with signs and slogans, not weapons.

tucson represents with great signs!

𝗧𝗛𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗗 🧵 I am in midtown #Tucson. The block between Tucson Boulevard and half way to Alvernon (past Country Club) along the southside of Speedway is full of Tucsonans peacefully protesting. (The north side has a lot of people too.)

Seriously, though - people keep asking "what are the protesters asking for, and what's their strategic plan to get it?" I think what they're asking for is for America to be restored and Trump to subjected to the law. And I think the plan to get it is to demonstrate that there are so, so many of us.

It has to be said - again and out loud - that it’s Republicans in Congress who’ve unshackled him.

Hi, I'm the ProPublica reporter who's been tracking an unusual stat: U.S. citizens grabbed by immigration agents. I did it because the government isn’t. This is what I found.
