A level of corruption in the Trump-Vance administration that would embarrass Boss Tweed. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/24/u...

Donald Trump is using DOJ to prosecute his enemies. DOJ is trampling on civil rights and defending the deployment of military in our cities. Yet, too many well meaning people continue to give federal prosecutors and DOJ lawyers the benefit of the doubt. STOP. Watch and share. youtu.be/yZR90S5DUKE

Then the extrajudicial killings he has done are civil crimes as well

Bin Laden had to use crazed religious fanatics to destroy American buildings by flying into them. Putin uses Trump.

Even if we ignore the racism (not that we should!) this entails a massive loss of freedom, a hit to the economy & worse public services. That's a huge price to pay for "cultural cohesion". Which suggests these people are irrational fanatics.

The order means that, through Tuesday, federalized National Guard members from Oregon (or any other state) are prohibited from deploying in Portland under Judge Immergut’s two active temporary restraining orders.

Have you seen the photo of republican meeting on women’s health? The table had about 20 white men around it. Not one woman. Women are incubators, only incubators. Incubators don’t have rights, aren’t part of the planning. Incubators do what they’re told.

Income aside, if I was starting over and was younger and debating having kids today, I would never. School shootings shrugged off. Public health under attack. Fewer opportunities and worse pay for each younger generation. Civil liberties under attack. Looming climate disaster. Rising fascism.

"Government" isn't shutdown. The Trump administration continues to destroy the White House, kidnap people, and take bribes. The only thing "shutdown" is the branch of government that could stop Trump (Congress), which is odd because Republican-controlled Congress is too craven to do that anyway.

Ah yes, Fox. It's the media that's focusing on the East Wing amid the shutdown. Not the guy who decided to bulldoze the East Wing during the shutdown.

When the median age for a first-time homeowner is 56 and more than 60% of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck, it’s clear the system is rigged. I’m running because we need a Senator who’s going to fight to make stories like my dad’s a thing of the past.

My dad’s story isn’t unique; countless working class Iowans are barely getting by while our elected leaders are bought and paid for by billionaires and corporations.

Vance holds the simultaneous beliefs that pregnant girls are adults, but GOP men working as staffers, some reaching middle age with full beards and children of their own, are “kids.” open.substack.com/pub/jesspipe...

Donald Trump's I-don’t-give-a-fuck desecration of the White House isn't just un-American, but anti-American. Democracies have appointed bodies to oversee such things. Dictators ignore all that. And yet, it’s probably only the third-most-outrageous thing Trump has done since Monday. trib.al/HLx0u4W

🇨🇦 After Trump’s temper tantrum over the (VERY REAL) Reagan anti-tariffs ad, Canada says they will now turn towards making deals with Asia instead. MAGA = Making Asia Great Again & Making Argentina Great Again

A Nuremberg prosecutor addressed accused businessmen: “They joined in stamping out the flame of liberty & in subjecting the German people to the monstrous, grinding tyranny of the Third Reich, whose purpose it was to brutalize the nation & fill people w/hate.” www.americaamerica.news/p/gold-greed...

AI is pretty good. 90 percent good, maybe. For most people, AI news that is only 10 percent garbage will be deemed “good enough.” God help us. Today's Triad from @jvl.bsky.social: www.thebulwark.com/p/ai-and-the...

Federal workers aren't being paid because Republicans want to give their billionaires a tax cut. Meanwhile, Trump is building a $300 million dollar ballroom paid for with bribes that he'll use to fish for more bribes. The GOP works for their donors, not the American people.

All Democratic politicians should be using the destruction of the White House as a backdrop to talk about how Donald Trump is destroying everything we value to enrich himself.

Exclusive: Average Obamacare premiums are set to rise 30 percent, documents show. The price increases — affecting up to 17 million Americans who buy coverage on the federal marketplace — are by far the largest annual premium increases in recent years.

When Tish James walks into a courthouse tomorrow — the target of a political prosecution demanded by a President obsessed with revenge — she does not walk in alone. New York has her back. Grateful to Governor Hochul for bringing us together tonight.

BREAKING NEWS: The Trump admin just announced they are opening the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge for oil drilling. This is exactly what Big Oil and Big Gas were hoping for when they donated hundreds of millions of dollars to Trump. Now he’s handing them a blank check.

President Donald Trump's hand-picked prosecutor for the Eastern District of Virginia, Lindsey Halligan, is facing scrutiny both in and out of court as New York Attorney General Letitia James enters her plea in the housing case against her.

Emm… I don’t know even how to comment this.

Do these idiots realize that it's a two-way street, and that if it keeps up, it's going to become a cul-de-sac because Canada's just going to do what China's done and essentially walk away until we come to our senses?

UPDATE: Trump is freaking out about the (very effective) anti-tariffs ad Canada 🇨🇦 is running in 🇺🇸 (during baseball playoffs), saying trade negotiations are now “terminated” — so here it is again 👇🏽 Reagan’s audio is, of course, VERY REAL. He is lying: www.youtube.com/shorts/Mj6N-...

"In his mind, it’s his money. He can shower it on people he likes. He can pick and choose what government program he’d like to rescue. He can cut checks if he sees his approval ratings plummet. But at no point will you be able to accurately trace the money coming in and the money going out."

Like I said, Trump literally believes any money received or spent by the U.S. belongs to him, personally bsky.app/profile/atru...

I mean the easier thing here is it also is shitty politics. The "Trump spent 250m on a ballroom while you were struggling for groceries" is like the easiest attack line ever. And the response being "WELL ACKSHUALLY.."

It sounds like he’s talking about a toddler.

during the 2016 campaign, the Boston Globe ran a scary mockup front page of what a world where Trump was president would look like, and it’s pretty tame compared to a random Friday morning’s headlines now

I guess the only time Hassett won’t lie to defend Trump’s lunacy is when Trump lied about Reagan. bsky.app/profile/atru...

There’s been talk for a while that he’s wanted a sovereign wealth fund. There was an EO in February about it. I expect that could be a place for this money to go if he does “donate” it. I think he may try to put the proceeds from the tariffs there too. It would be a giant slush fund basically.

People with a memory of the time before Trump remember Republicans used to love free markets. It was a core part of their ideology. Sad to see a party abandon all its principles to worship Trump

Someone who is even relatively healthy doesn’t say something like this.

This is precisely how the Trump Foundation worked. He raised money and then spent it on himself. Which got him banned from operating a charity.
