So you CAN get reparations you just have to be a reactionary white person who tries to overthrow the government because black votes shouldn’t count

Gotta get these folks to vote.

California AG Rob Bonta says California has been going after fraud long before Trump was president, long before JD Vance was a senator, and long before Trump started pardoning people who defrauded taxpayers out of billions of dollars.

“I’m just so goddamn fed up with all this,” Gina Small, 29, said in a comment on the U.S. economy that one of her friends assumed was about the world’s ongoing humanitarian crises, another friend thought was about the weaponization of America’s military against its own people.

can not imagine how americans got that impression john

Wonder what trumps cut is

"it's okay for sick people to die" is an interesting thing to hear from the secretary of ... uh .. health and human services

if you are a rich guy who owns a small business, and you think it would be cool to have a "funny" or "offbeat" company handbook or policies instead of boring HR boilerplate, just imagine what it's gonna be like to sit in a deposition and have people read it out loud to you, cause that WILL happen

“Expanding the Supreme Court is no different that redistricting in California and Virginia. It is a proportionate response to Republican attempts to degrade liberal democracy and move America toward a post-liberal order.” open.substack.com/pub/thebulwa...

If you live in Virginia, tomorrow you have a huge opportunity to make it clear to the GOP that if they want to win, it won’t be by changing the rules and redrawing maps. At least, not without a fight. Vote YES on the redistricting vote, and push back!

This only happens in a country that loves its guns more than its children. www.cbc.ca/news/world/m...

Nailed it!

I guess JD missed the part about infallibility in his catechism. 🤔

You know what would also help her afford her husband's cancer treatments? UNIVERSAL FUCKING HEALTH CARE JESUS FUCKING CHRIST HOW IS THIS GODDAMN COUNTRY STILL LIKE THIS MAYBE GRANDMA SHOULDN"T HAVE TO DELIVER FOOD LIKE A TEENAGER IF WE HAD A DECENT FUCKING SOCIETY!!!!!!!!!!

Here in NC, @abreezeclayton.bsky.social has a long-term plan to flip the state Supreme Court back to Dem so we can undo the illegal gerrymander. In NC currently, which is about a 50-50 state, the GOP controls congressional seats 11-2 🤬. First step is to re-elect @anitaearls.bsky.social

The biggest story in the world right now is that the president of the United States is a demented old man who takes pleasure in torturing and killing people and is committing crimes with impunity. And yet most legacy media outlets are too cowardly to tell it like it is.

Good read below. Seems like most of this administration’s policies are based on errors, mis-statements and lies. This is another one.

Somebody check the price of eggs, plz.

🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️

You can't reform this.

Hegseth announced today that he's pocketing money furnished by Europeans to pay for arms for Ukraine and is instead going to spend this money on Trump's war on Iran. The technical term for this conduct is theft.

1/ It's not just that unilaterally paying TSA agents is illegal. It's that Trump has now repeatedly undermined the core of the congressional power of the purse. He's not spending money that has been appropriated by law (impoundments) and he's spending money that has not been appropriated.

I've said it before & just because he's gotten less popular doesn't make it less true: The American constitution is currently operating as a dictatorship or monarchy

Well said, I’m sure this sentiment is shared by many.

Unclear in this moment: where is the money coming from? Will it be pulled from OBBB’s funding for ICE and CBP (i.e. the DHS components), and under what statutory power? If congressional Republicans support this, why not UC a bill to authorize TSA funding?

You anchor yourself to a sinking stone and see what happens.

It's interesting how Trump, who's been saying since 2016 that he's going to fix health care, can just snap his fingers on Sunday and put thousands of ICE agents in the nation's airports on Monday at a cost of millions of dollars a day and yet health care...welll...that'll take time.

Remember when people were fired for *reposting* accurate quotes from Charlie Kirk after he was killed.

Professors & university staff were targeted & fired for less than this just a few months ago.

If ever there was a time for the Republicans in Congress to step up, it’s now. They must know this.

And I thought this wasn’t a war 🤔

Interesting no accusations at US or Israel for breaching international law. 🤔

maybe shouldn’t have ruled he was a king then, John, ever think of that?

Things are not okay.

Reporters must speak with Clinton, Bush, Obama and Biden to confirm this never happened-and THEN we can have a serious discussion about Trump’s significant cognitive decline

Trump uses mail in voting

AUTHERS: “.. logic now points toward escalation .. The Strait of Hormuz is closed, Iran evidently intends to keep it that way, and there is no credible means to claim US victory unless it reopens.” @johnauthers.bsky.social

Another evergreen from #Herblock: “It’s Called Separation of Powers—We Separate You from Your Powers.” Published in the Washington Post, April 15, 1973.

Along these lines: This is the far right US party realizing they have weak minoritarian public support and trying to fix the next elections by increasing voter suppression.

“We want to change the rules of the next election so Democrats don’t win anymore”

Watching reactions to warnings about the SAVE Act. I see many well-informed, educated, involved folks who don't get what's so bad. A thread, just on the providing documents part: This requires documentary proof of citizenship, not just residence or identity. No affidavits; hard document proof. (1/8)

Voter fraud is not and has not been the biggest threat to American democracy or electoral outcomes. It has been and very much is voter suppression, which this bill is ina huge way

Frame this

Turning "we had no clue they could close the Strait" into "we knew it all along this is why we started the war" is some next level Ministry of Truth shit.

ACC Champions! Go Duke 😈🏀💙 Gotta celebrate what you can 🥳🤩
