Something I'm not enjoying is the president constantly looking into the camera and saying "I am breaking the law" only for the Supreme Court to go "We conclude the president isn't breaking the law"

Some folks were worried that they'd sic thugs on the protestors or declare martial law. Instead they posted AI videos and complained. These people have no juice. Their supporters are cowards. They are are all bark and no bite. They collapse when we push back. Remember that.

This story is extraordinary even by 2025 standards. Marco Rubio, the nation's top diplomat, made a deal with Bukele and agreed to renege on informant agreements in a years-long DOJ investigation into MS-13, totally undercutting credibility of such agreements. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

I know it's a fool's errand to expect anything from the media but "President posts video of himself dumping diarrhea on America" is an important thing to call attention to for a dozen reasons

Seattle No Kings from the monorail

Pivoting back toward the stage, with the Capitol building behind it.

it also really gives away the claim that "we're going after the violent criminals" when DHS is making a big deal about nabbing a ... police officer.

Again, lovely to see that while I am furloughed because the government is shut down the executive shoveled $40bn into a furnace that has been stoked to red hot by ridiculous and discredited economic ideas. This of course just made thing worse for all involved.

“Deplorables” was a scandal for years and she wasn’t even in the government yet. This is the White House Press Secretary, whose salary is paid by the American public.

the president using the office to punish americans that didnt vote for him should really be one of the biggest scandals in americas history

MMWR stole the show in the first round of headlines about CDC cuts but in the chaos, many missed that the NHANES mobile team remains RIF'd. This is the backbone of this key survey that contains some of the only representative anthropometric, biochemical, clinical and dietary data on the country.

James Michael Johnson, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, is fanatically devoted to Donald Trump and expresses his adoration by endeavoring to give Trump everything he wants, despite never having heard a word Trump has written or said or any specific account of anything Trump has done.

📌“The fact that I am American means, among other things, people can’t say, like they did about Francis, ‘he doesn’t understand the United States, he just doesn’t see what’s going on.’ “Do you not see the suffering? Is your conscience not disturbed?” -Pope Leo in a direct rebuke of the hideous Trump

Well golly it sounds like you should let long-standing precedents stand until you rule on the merits, then. That is not what you’re doing!

The deportation order is based on Vedam’s conviction for murder—a crime he did not actually commit and for which he’s now been wholly exonerated. He entered the US at 9 months old and was a legal permanent resident before his conviction. We are so, so, so far from the light of justice.

can you imagine just sitting down to plan this and not feeling any shame or hesitation. seeing jane goodall on the tv as you’re doing it and how her thing was gorillas and yours is getting ready to deport a guy who’s been wrongly imprisoned since reagan’s first term

Hard to find a more obvious example of the journalism adage “If someone says it’s raining outside and someone else says it isn’t, your job is not to quote them both, your job is to go outside.”

This is insane. I feel like I’m going insane when I’m watching this. Not just the fact that it’s clearly their fault, but the way a heavily-armed squad of masked thugs immediately jumps into the street and brutalizes the woman they just hit, despite having no idea who she is.

I am the last in a long line of Catholics which is why I would not have characterized a pope raising the plight of the poor as divisive

“Habeas corpus” is what Sam Altman joyfully shouts when he thinks he has finally secured all the training-data legal rights to other people’s copyrighted work.

Is it good when the commander in chief is untethered to reality?

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.

I co-wrote Trump’s first anti-terrorism plan in 2017-18. He’s not trying to stop “left-wing” terrorism. He is staging it. His troop deployments are a false flag — meant to provoke a response in order to justify harsh crackdowns. This is now very obvious.

I fear if things don’t change right now, this image is going to come back to haunt us

If and when America finds a way out of authoritarianism, not only will ICE have to be abolished: All these people will need to be held accountable in a court of law for the monstrosities they are committing - those who are ordering them as well as those who are carrying them out. Every single one.

Pretty clear Stephen Miller, Noem, Hegseth and Trump are trying to provoke a Civil War at this point. What's interesting is they want to do it now, because even though they're unpopular, they seem to believe this is the most popular they'll be ever again. We can't let them win.

we simply do not have a union anymore if the president is using troops from one state to invade others entirely on the basis of political disagreements

related, when the president is invading our own country, waging war on our own people, i don't wanna see dems give the GOP shit they ask for, don't wanna hear shit bout 'we hope our friends across the aisle will work with us on bipartisan solutions to the problems they cause' i don't want none of it

They’re using American tax dollars to fund infrastructure in Argentina because that’s where they’re all going to flee when we kick them out of office

This lying piece of shit fascist motherfucker

NEW: Gavin Newsom says that Trump has ordered 300 previously federalized CA National Guard troops into Oregon to end-run Judge Immergut's ruling blocking the federalization of the Oregon National Guard. www.gov.ca.gov/2025/10/05/g...

The whole empty, centrist Dem scam is collapsing in real time. This is a leg sweep, followed by a quick boxing of Schatz’s ears. These hacks need to go away. They are killing us in so many ways.

I literally wrote earlier today that ICE and CBP are "a portrait of an authoritarian secret police that seems set to model itself on history’s worst fascist enforcers." www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/welcome-to... Case in point here:

like, i don't really know how to adequately express the anger that i feel watching this video. not showing your face, lazily teargassing random people on a neighborhood street without getting out of your car - the image says more about these goons than i could articulate bsky.app/profile/clan...

When is it going to be enough? How and when do we stop this fascist regime?

This ostentatious Christian with the big cross around her neck is really saying that people who cannot prove their citizenship in an emergency room should be left on the sidewalk to die. And that's what she believes.

1. This is one of the most insane statements ever delivered by a presidential spokesperson in U.S. history. Totally disconnected from reality. 2. There is either going to be a civil war or abject Democratic surrender to autocracy. They are telling this you, to your face, in explicit terms.

The story of 2024 is this: Trump had a plan to destroy American government called Project 2025, which had, literally, not a typo, a 4% approval rating. He lied constantly and said he wouldn't do it. Then he entered office and immediately implemented AN EVEN MORE EXTREME VERSION OF IT.

/6 If you are stuck in the McArdlian view "we can't think of the other side of evil" -- which I view as sociopathic -- I have to ask, is there ANYTHING they can do that will make you call it evil? Is there ANYTHING they can do that won't make you say "I should focus on finding common ground?"

Every few months now I re-read this "Who Goes Nazi?" piece from 1941 and am blown away by how it captures the people we are dealing with 80 years later. harpers.org/archive/1941...

JD Vance’s parents both abandoned him in favor of doing drugs and honestly they made the right choice.

what does an "unconstitutional DEI principle" mean in the context of a tunnel project? what, a black person is going to use it?

“To us, masks are associated with cowardly desperados and the despised Ku Klux Klan. In all our history we have never tolerated an armed masked secret police.” - Judge William Young, September 30, 2025

JUST IN: President Trump has told top U.S. commanders that the military would be used against "enemy within."

You don’t have to read between the lines. Trump is literally saying, publicly and out loud, that he is at war — actual, military-involved war — with Americans and American cities he personally dislikes. That impeachment is politically off the table is a national scandal.

If any other president in all of history said the military should use American cities as a training ground he would be removed from office that same day. The hardest thing to tolerate in all this is how relatively silent elected democrats are. It’s ridiculous.

the president of the united states wants to use the american military to kill american citizens on american soil. that's the whole story!

The best thing about Trump addressing the generals (I'm watching it right now) is that by the end of this speech there will be no question in any of their minds that he is batshit insane, and unworthy of their loyalty. And when push comes to shove, they will not back him.

just the hubris on this guy! like every chauvinist mediocrity, he sincerely believes he is a top specimen, the pinnacle of human achievement.
