Part 3 of my ever-expanding series about why half the nation went crazy is now live!

The entire premise of this guy's piece, like so many "Dems need to stop talking about [issue]" pieces, is built on a version of the Democratic Party that doesn't exist. They're already doing the thing you're telling them they need to do. They're already largely ignoring this issue in campaigns.

One thing I enjoy about watching these sniveling regime sycophants is reveling in their attempts to rephrase the latest sociopathic comment Trump made

Fraud is the central catch-all excuse for repeatedly ripping the power of the purse away from Congress, wielding illegal authority like a cudgel on their perceived enemies to the severe detriment of average Americans. Like a death cult

I hate that “vote harder” is now all we’re left with

It's understandable that old arguments are constantly recycled from literal geriatrics. Old dogs can't learn new excuses

50 state strategy right here

this is very clearly and directly genocidal: "Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group" is explicitly listed as a genocidal act in the 1948 convention, and Russia's intent to destroy Ukrainians as a people has been made clear over and over again

WE CAN TELL

The regime is so committed to the Trump ethos that they also don't bother paying their debts, shocker

"(...)Trump administration is using Freedom 250 to redirect $100 million in taxpayer funds from America 250 without congressional approval, mix private funding and public taxpayer money without oversight, sell 'access to President Trump' for up to $2.5 million, solicit foreign donations, and more."

@robertgarcia.house.gov asks: how is it so many relevant people in Epstein's orbit were never questioned by our government? People like Les Wexner, Darren Indyke and Richard Kahn. "That's not a mistake; that's a coverup."

Dem leadership needs to get their conservatives in line, this lunatic now has a 14 year term

"they're here to kill us all" -- a sitting United States senator, describing about 2 billion people worldwide.

"The law extends tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations while cutting $187 billion from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, often referred to as food stamps, over the next decade. Now, the consequences of those cuts are showing up on Americans’ kitchen tables."

the Democrats retaking the House and Senate, on its own, will not destroy the Republican project. The only way to do that is a broad, years-long cross-ideological commitment to break American conservatism's power base TL;DR congressional Dems must be forced into war with the used car salesmen.

"The strike on Friday, the latest after the military accelerated its pace of attacks in recent weeks, brought the death toll to at least 192. Military experts say that the strikes are illegal, extrajudicial killings." The Trump regime are terrorists, and we don't negotiate with terrorists

"The Israeli base was almost discovered in early March. Iraqi state media said a local shepherd reported unusual military activity in the area, including helicopter flights, and the Iraqi military sent troops to investigate. Israel kept them at bay with airstrikes(...)"

I had a family member fall down the fascism rabbit hole because of this absolute ghoul, so I'm always happy when his grift is given sunlight. Fuck Posobiec

People need to remember where their worker rights came from and who fought for the industry standards that have been eroded over the last few decades

60 Minutes interviewed an architect of genocide uncritically fucking shameful

This is wild. DOJ and O’Connor are now retrofitting their absurd abusive effort to go to Texas to enforce a Rhode Island subpoena by claiming in ~secret~ information that they are justified in doing so — but more than a week *after* the initial ruling, which made no such district-specific claim.

"Trump’s post was in response to Democrats forming an election integrity task force aimed at identifying and mitigating threats to U.S. elections." Dems want accountability and a coordinated response to election malfeasance Trump wants more zealous Brownshirts

"It passed on the House floor by a 101-100 vote on April 28. A single Democrat, Rep. Frank Burns (D-Cambria), joined every Republican in opposing the bill."

Meta comms guy brings up the historical record. Ok let’s go. I revealed: —FB allowing ad targeting of “Jew-haters” —FB allowing ads to block being shown to Black users —FB promoting Stop the Steal groups prior to J6 —FB guidelines showing “white males” as protected class but not “black children”

A highly recommended thread detailing CBP's wanton abuse of children:

Trump is desperately trying to become immortal through legacy. From a Hitleresque giant ballroom with underground bunker to a proposed Arch de Trump, he wants to reshape D.C. into his tacky image akin to a Confederate monument during the Civil Rights era

AOC on possibly running for the Senate or President: They assume my ambition is a title or a seat. My ambition is way bigger than that. My ambition is to change this country. Presidents come and go, elected officials come and go, single payer healthcare is forever.

I do a lot of long-form writing, so I needed a catch-all space for my overly-verbose ramblings. So I finally pulled the trigger on a Substack! Its a work-in-progress, with the first two parts of my series How To Collapse An Empire uploaded. This is an evolving project, something I hope you'll enjoy:

It’s telling that Alabama took 14 years to implement Brown (you MUST desegregate) and < 14 days to implement Callais (you CAN eliminate Black districts if you call them Democratic, but you don’t HAVE to).

Yes Schumer, because THIS should be your top priority to "keep pushing" and not, say, the Epstein Files. There should be no confusion as to why the fascists are steamrolling democracy and this feckless party

As the Right and the Left battle it out for the body politic of this nation, its soul is being systematically drained from the Top. Remember, we’re being made to fight a Race & Gender War in order to avoid a Class War. — Robert Landrum

The best we can do is document extensively the American collapse so that we may prosecute & imprison those involved, teaching this history to future Americans to prevent conservative dominance and liberal complicity.

by my tally we are now spending ~$2B to companies to NOT build more energy infrastructure. in the middle of an energy crisis

You can't claim these exemptions are "integral to national security," then immediately approve exemptions for a goddamn Bitcoin mine. "National security" is doing a lot of heavy lifting lately for "killing the planet(and us)for corporate profits." Just another GOP donor giveaway at our expense

It's wild to me that, for a while now, Trump's DOJ has written documents like a child's grade-school essay. Yet here, they spare no legal detail to inject CISA into this case. What classified information did the shooter have? Why is there a fear of national security here?

It sickens me that the GOP just has to declare this brazenly racist act as "political" and it somehow gets the green light, as if they can disentangle the political from racial simply by claiming it so.

The fact that the Republican Party always has legislation to make it harder to vote or to disenfranchise Black people ready to go whenever the Supreme Court takes another whack at the Voting Rights Act tells you...a lot.

"...(NSPM-7) defines the threat as those espousing 'anti-American,' 'anti-Christian' and 'anti-Capitalism' viewpoints. The new National Strategy uniquely identifies 'radically pro-transgender ideologies' as terrorists, adding yet another threat group to the federal government’s targeting."

Look I'm no political strategist but it seems to me that when the President's chief financial advisor is going around gleefully talking about how great it is that everyone's spending more on things and that credit card spending is up, that would be useful for opposition political messaging...

Using law enforcement to go after your political opponents just keeps getting checked on my fascism bingo card

🚨"He’s just a bag of bones" Trump's EPA told Louisiana residents it was safe to come home after a major oil plant explosion...but privately, EPA worried of a "grave threat" to their health. 9 months later, folks are SICK w/ nosebleeds, headaches, + more. www.statuscoupsubstack.com/p/trump-epa-...

In December SCOTUS claimed it was too close to election to block Texas gerrymander but now allowing Southern states to straight up cancel elections to resurrect Jim Crow

I think about this a lot. Not sure it's the only country but the propaganda has absolutely been effective.

Knowledge Fight was and remains one of the all-time great podcasts. It is the rarest kind of thing: a show that entertains while having a real-life impact. Dan and Jordan helped defang and neuter elements of a powerful propaganda network. Excited to see what both do next.

Let me check Pam Bondi’s letters to those tech companies when she asserted that the TikTok ban wasn’t a real law if Trump said so.

"...Pressler—or the Judge, as many knew him—played a crucial role in the marriage of the Republican Party and the white evangelical voters who still sustain its power. For nearly four decades he served as a quiet GOP power broker,..."
