Everything he does is destructive. Everything. Even those things that pretend to have a veneer of creativity are destructive, like the ballroom and this monstrosity. Measure them by what they wreck. He wrecks things unrepentantly. Constantly. apple.news/Axc2pVIfhSuu...

The Kennedy Center has been in continuous operation for 55 years. Trump and Ric Grenell destroyed it in one year by making it so toxic that nobody will perform there. Now they have to shut it down like a Trump casino.

Damn proud of Minnesota.

Biden has one bad debate and he’s out. Now we get a recurring stream of demented, embarrassing nonsense, and…three more years? God help us.

Very fun that everyone who panicked about Biden's mental acuity is willing to sit through this endless national humiliation ritual.

Possible? 1. He realizes what will likely occur if he completes his term. 2. He is removed from office, either via the 25th Amendment or conviction. 3. Vance gives him a “full and unconditional” pardon. 4. The SOB walks.

You know what worries me? Let’s say that Trump’s acts of war are, in part or in total, meant to distract the public and the media from his ever-growing problems with the Epstein files and Jack Smith’s deposition. Let’s say these problems just continue to grow. What’s to prevent him from using nukes?

EVIL.

Hear me out—I’m thinking that maybe the best we can get is to let him finish his term. If he dies in office, he’ll get too many honors, and JD will become president. If he’s impeached and removed from office, JD will become president. But if there’s a midterm blue wave, he’ll be a truly lame duck.

Think he will get the tacky ballroom built? Maybe. But I think this is basically another example of his overriding policy of wrecking stuff.

For pretty much the first time since the passing of Frank O’Bannon, I’m proud of my present home state. apple.news/AZD2Vye40Qgq...

BREAKING: Kilmar Abrego Garcia has been released from immigration detention after a federal judge's order Thursday, his attorney's office says.

Racism is what this is.

I’m hoping that what appears to be a Democratic cave-in will have a silver lining when Representative-Elect Grijalva is sworn in.

➡️USC rejects Trump education compact aimed at shifting the university to the right ➡️At a USC Academic Senate meeting, faculty strongly opposed the compact, with some calling it “probably unconstitutional” and “antithetical to principles of academic freedom.”

These are fun 😆

Republicans can’t win on their policies, so they are trying to dodge accountability by rewriting the rules. These lawmakers are going out of their way to silence the will of the people and deliberately undermine our democracy.

Yeah, well, I don’t know how these things work, but it seems to me that Jimmy Kimmel should have a number of cable networks in a bidding war. apple.news/AVRa804a1SWe...

The union representing the musicians from Jimmy Kimmel’s band releases a statement calling the FCC’s pressure on Disney “state censorship.”

Exactly. Precisely. God help us.

Let’s say that, for some reason, Vance becomes president in the near future. Will he get the same kind of cult like support afforded to his predecessor?

Yup.

Excellent question!

Completely agree. What a dangerous and repulsive person.

A pardon. @wutangforchildren.bsky.social

Pritzker: To the members of the press who are assembled here today and listening across the country, I am asking for your courage to tell it like it is. This is not a time to pretend here that there are two sides to this story. follow me if you support this man

It almost goes without saying that sending the military into Chicago is repulsive idea. It’s hard not to imagine the worst possible outcome.

Large Ukrainian flag unfurled at protest in Anchorage, Alaska yesterday. More protests are scheduled for today. Don’t forget to subscribe: www.dworkinsubstack.com/subscribe

Right on point. www.chronicle.com/article/they...

when the right say 'crime' they mean 'the presence of groups of people we're bigoted against,' they don't care about the actual stats

So we can expect the #epsteinfiles when? 2080 or so?

Proud of my hometown!

Another great idea from Big Orange.

Is this ever true. #truth

among evangelicals, "biblical grounds" for divorce usually means infidelity, and very often explicitly excludes domestic or child abuse. it does not imply ken paxton got caught doing anything gay and i reeaally dislike the tendency to teehee insinuate that homophobic abusive men are all secretly gay

Any Trump voter who says “this isn’t what I voted for” is lying to everyone, including themselves.

All I can imagine is the smell of used baby wipes. #Trump #Grift #Ohio #cologne #politics #sigh

This.

Damn, y'all. Russia just dunked on Scump's parade. I'm an Army veteran; but this makes us look weak as fuck. I mean, look at our troops. Their body language is very telling. They didn't want to be there. *sound up* #ProudBlue #ResistanceUnited #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

Today we are.

Today they have crossed a deep red line. We, the people, must hold the president and his appointees accountable for this outrageous abuse against American liberty.

I never watch ABC/Disney news anyway. That doesn’t excuse their behavior—but I do take some solace in thinking that #TerryMoran won’t stay unemployed for long.

In case you have lost perspective, the map shows the city of LA and the red circle the protests. For this Trump has federalized 4000 national guard and 600 Marines and spent $134 million. Gov Newsom is right to sue and seek an emergency stop.
