this really is all just about resentment over obama being given the prize

Has this comparison been made yet?

It is pretty galling that the Supreme Court spent four years telling Biden "you can't do that without Congress" then allowed Trump to seize a once-unthinkable amount of power from Congress within nine months and concentrate law-making authority almost entirely in the executive branch.

genuinely think they are feeding him AI videos

The elimination of USAID is a moral atrocity and all involved made a choice to enable, and then lie about, ending the lives of some of the most vulnerable people in the world.

Johnson: "He has defunded our education system. He has defunded our transportation system. He's firing black women across this country. He's defunding our healthcare system. This president is absolutely out of control... Chicago is going to stand firm in protecting humanity."

One thing I learned in my years of journalism was that if a headline is a question, the answer is typically "no"

Just as a reminder, Bondi’s origin story in Trump world is that she said she was going to investigate Trump University, Trump sent her a $25K check and the investigation disappeared. She later became Trump’s personal defense lawyer. So yeah, don’t challenge her integrity.

For context: When a group of protestors stormed the US Capitol on Jan. 6, a crew of Oath Keepers was standing by, waiting for Trump to invoke the Insurrection Act so they could go get their stash of weapons, hidden across the Potomac. This is far from normal.

#OTD in 1963, less than 1% of Black residents in Dallas County, AL, were registered to vote. When they organized and showed up to register, they were met with violence from the sheriff and his deputies. Voter suppression still exists today. #TheMarchContinues #TheSouthsGotNow

New in PN: Trump's invasion "The Trump administration’s war on cities just entered a new, more terrifying phase. What stage of fascism is it when the president defies a court order and sends troops into a city anyway? Because as of Sunday, that’s where we’re at."

I wonder what these people think war is. A small coffee shop? Trees lining sidewalks? If that's it, my neighborhood is war ravaged!

How do we even know these are ICE agents? They have no IDs and no warrant. They could be white supremacists who simply walked in and said they wanted to commit racism. And no one's stopping them!

Look at these brownshirts breaking the law and arresting a public official for the crime of being in a hospital. Seriously broken country

People are angry that this is just now being reported, but objective news orgs like the AP don't report speculation on things like this. They need confirmation. This is nothing new. Also, the news and facts earlier were that he WAS distancing himself during his campaign, and that was being covered

Trump’s slashed taxes for corporations and the wealthy while slapping steep new sales taxes on most of the things that all Americans buy and is now sending some of those new tax revenues to his most consistent voters.

If the court does what it probably will do (6-3), Hawaii's gun violence is going to climb by leaps and bounds. It's a very safe state with low gun crime, and this will irreparably harm it

Let's review the numbers. The economy they inherited from Biden had created 16 million jobs. Trump has yet to prove he can create jobs, no matter how Chavez-DeRemer tries to spin the narrative.

In case it wasn’t clear, the anti-DEI crusade has never been about merit. Zero news experience. Never been a reporter. Elevated to Editor in Chief of CBS News, one of the most storied news institutions in the nation. www.mediaite.com/media/news/p...

Still thinking about this by the way paragraph in the Sun Times piece on the apartment building raid. Full story: chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/...

This is illegal, plain and simple, with penalties including removal from federal service, debarment from federal employment for five years, and a fine of $1000. 5 U.S.C. § 7326. A country which valued the rule of law would enforce its laws.

It's becoming difficult to hide that a major purpose of the Trump administration is siphoning tax revenues from Blue states and redirecting them into subsidies for Red states. At what point does this become intolerable?

As predicted last week. And to repeat: Pushing forward with this will fragment the armed forces and risk not just the security but the existence of the Republic. For no reason at all.

Funny that the people who were soooooo worried about Jade Helm and that a Democratic president would send the military into cities is speechless now that their racist leader is trying to declare war on citizens

It's enough to drive you insane watching the government constantly doing crimes and then calling a press conference to say "The real crime is when people say we're doing crimes, and we have to stop it"

I know we're desensitized, but it's important to note, again, that today's events would have led to the immediate impeachment & removal of any president from at least Truman to at least Obama. We're hundreds of miles on the interstate past Richard Nixon's high school prank-level crimes compared to 👇

The "liberals have to learn how to live with people we diagree with" line kinda stops making sense in a world where the central disagreement is whether disagreeing with them should be allowed at all

Spent the last decade reading conservative blogs use the word "Orwellian" more than they used the word "the" and now they're literally just saying "War is Peace" out loud in front of everybody.

I reposted this already, but this whole piece is extremely damning. Also, I don't know who these freaks are but I do think they should be shamed out of society (both bc of their choices and bc I'm not sure they know what comedy is)

If Trump actually believed he was popular as he always says he is, he would not be trying to rig next year's election. But he and Republicans know that waging war against the American people is not popular and are trying to avoid democratic accountability. apnews.com/article/redi...

They are not even bothering a basic disinformation campaign regarding the “war ravaged” conditions in Portland or pretending that they are trying to be the good guys: just flat out staying they are invading a peaceful Democratic city because they can.

This is the man that ICE just detained. This isn't about catching criminals, it is about Ethnic cleansing www.iowapublicradio.org/news-from-np...

This is the type of stuff that drives me up the wall. Maybe Biden's brain was slowing toward the end, maybe it wasn't. But at least he filled his Cabinet with qualified and intelligent people. With Trump, it's ignorance and hatred all the way down.

Do most Americans realize this is total bullshit? He is just making stuff up.

Wow. Let’s not blow past this. The administrator of the ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY says that climate change is a hoax/con job.

Trump calls being out of the White House a state of "exile" from the Dictator's rightful home.

“In exile” is a weird and dictatory way to say you were voted out in a free and fair election. Feels like that word choice should get some attention.

WOW. The lead plaintiff is a Latino man who's been here legally for 24 years. He was grabbed off the street by plainclothes federal agents who didn't even ASK about his status. He was detained overnight and only released once a supervisor realized he had been illegally arrested.

This is the fishiest shit I've ever seen. We're supposed to believe the shooter wrote "Anti-ICE" in pen on a bullet and then shot detainees but not ICE officers?

Trump is aggressively ignorant. He does not learn, actively resists it, and has surrounded himself with people who enable his stupidity.

Donald Trump is giving his thoughts on vaccine schedules and they have to report on it because we decided he should run America. Pretty cool if you ask me.

BREAKING: Jimmy Kimmel to be reinstated after suspension following Charlie Kirk comments, ABC says. The show is expected to return Tuesday.

I've been broadening the music I listen to and have recently gotten into Bruce Springsteen (and John Coltrane, The Kinks and many others). Springsteen feels the most like what a middle-aged guy should listen to, and I'm not sure how to feel about that

A rich and powerful man voluntarily bearing a cross onstage, but adding wheels so it's not remotely difficult, is the perfect picture for our country.

"Because someone died, we have to take away your rights" -- the same pretextual rationale that authoritarians always use

Murphy: "These things work in tandem. The Trump administration offers something to these big companies that will make their owners billionaires then in turn the big companies repress political speech or serve as Trump's propaganda machine. It's a quid pro quo that seems to be happening in open view"

The idea that “the civil rights act was a mistake” is a mainstream conservative position we can only tolerate but “defund the police” is a great cancer that must be excised from America for Democrats to win is the actual reason Democrats lose. Sorry.
