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.

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?

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.

So…was Cassidy lying, or Kennedy, or both? Does it matter? Not really, except that people will be DYING. www.cassidy.senate.gov/newsroom/pre...

It certainly appears that Gavin Newsom is positioning himself as the Democratic leader of the future. I don’t mean this cynically; merely an observation. I admire what he’s doing in my former city. #iloveLA

Trumper supporters, stop saying that this isn’t what you voted for. It’s EXACTLY what you voted for.

In honor of those who died.

Actually—I was quite certain before today. How can anyone say otherwise?

Seems quite clear.
