If this actually happens, it may rank as the single most corrupt act in the history of American politics. I cannot believe this is even under discussion.

Analysis | Instead of squabbling with the Catholic Church, President Trump must focus on what they have in common, such as a legacy of protecting pedophiles.

I don't know, guys. The president started a war with no plan and crashed the world economy, is building immense monuments to himself, is making billions off the presidency, and is now attacking the Pope while presenting himself as Jesus. Maybe the political class should abandon the inside voice.

It’s hard to overstate how much of this moment is driven by people who got a taste of accountability and were very, very mad about it.

So, Trump has agreed stop bombing Iran if they agree to open the strait that wasn’t closed until Trump started bombing Iran?

If I was a member of the cabinet or Congress. I would be asking myself what I would say to my grandchildren when they asked, “what did you do when the president of the United States threatened to destroy a whole civilization?”

Completely unstable and perilous. The House must bring up impeachment articles, and the Senate needs to remove a president who wants to commit war crimes. We cannot sit idly by as Donald Trump threatens to end an entire civilization.

if Trump nukes Iran it will be because no one powerful in america has ever been seriously punished for anything

The biggest story in the world right now is that the president of the United States is a demented old man who takes pleasure in torturing and killing people and is committing crimes with impunity. And yet most legacy media outlets are too cowardly to tell it like it is.

This movement has never been about violent criminal aliens, undocumented immigrants writ large, or even immigration in general, but about the country’s changing ethnic and religious makeup. It has always been about white Christian nationalism.

In all this, I continue to be shocked, daily, at how unserious our political opposition leadership has behaved in the face of an actual attempted fascist takeover of the United States

Exactly 5 minutes BEFORE Trump announced a 5-day delay in bombing Iranian power plants, someone purchased $1.5 billion worth of S&P futures in a single trade. Someone also sold $192 million in oil futures. Trump and/or his cronies are engaging in market manipulation and insider trading.

The world is bigger than your Senate hearing rooms you f**king losers. Read a damn book. Stop being weak, stupid, collaborators.

Jerome Powell confirmed today that the causes of inflation and net zero job growth are Trump’s immigration policy, Trump’s tariffs, and Trump’s war in Iran.

If he'd said this just a few months ago I would have opened my book with it. "I feel good about the Republican Party. We’re killing all the right people and cutting your taxes."

I don’t think domestic sentiment will truly sour until access to TikTok or cable TV is threatened

“A country that can instantly fund endless wars but debates every dime for healthcare and education doesn't have a budget issue--it has a values issue." A billion dollars a day going towards the war in Iran so far.

This isn’t behavior I would expect from a FIFA peace prize winner

Nothing says “America first” like borrowing money from foreign governments in order to destroy and rebuild other foreign governments 🫠

Such an easy pivot for the domestically-minded MAGAverse to redirect nationalistic, judeo-Christian sentimentality toward a globalistic, imperialistic, Islamist nation-building framework.

Cartoon by Tommy Siegel

A big part of the authoritarian playbook is war. War takes over the news. War blots out criticism. War divides a nation’s people, subjecting those against it to being called unpatriotic. War grants leaders all sorts of emergency powers. War consumes everything else. We mustn’t let this war do so.

i see we have entered the “get mad at Democrats about unilateral Trump action” phase of the thing and, whatever makes you happy I guess most of the criticisms are correct and almost all of them are irrelevant

Rep Jason Crow (D-CO): “I went to war three times for this country and learned that when elites in Washington bang the war drums, working class folks pay the price. The tough talk of a five-time draft dodger falls flat for Americans tired of military adventurism”

If you were at work today and you got a phone call from your wife that France just blew up your kid's school, your lifelong opinion of France is probably not going to be anything other than "Death to France"

What in the world is ICE gonna store in all those warehouses??

You know what they’re going to store in those warehouses? People

Remember when we thought Sarah Palin was the dumbest person in politics Good times.

Crockett: "The US is falling apart, partially bc he's allowing for killings in the street, but also bc we have a 34 count convicted felon being shielded from any type of accountability as it relates to a child sex trafficking ring. I don't understand why we're pretending any of this is normal."

When you agree to pass 5 of 6 appropriations bills, then you later agree to pass funding for everything that is in the 6th bill except for one agency (ICE) that has already been prefunded in a previous bill, you are giving up every bit of leverage you have and selling out.

When you’re asked to explain lawless actions. Every cabinet Secy is just making it up as they go along w/the sole goal of doing Trump’s will, leaving the next cabinet member to stumble around trying to make lawlessness make sense.

I know we’ve gotten used to it, but this type of behavior is disgusting and people should speak up about it

I think it’s a good thing that Bill & Hillary Clinton are testifying on the Epstein files. Trump should have to testify too—along with Bill Gates, Steve Bannon, Howard Lutnick. Everyone should be forced to testify and face tough questions about their involvement with Jeffrey Epstein and his crimes.

Awful lot of older white academics would would rather have a convicted pedophile as a friend than a lefty as a colleague

It’s not particularly sophisticated but I kind of think that the most straightforward way to understand trumpism is that we have a morally depraved group of fascists who have successfully persuaded a significant chunk of the public to accept their psychological projections as reality

The VERY MEAN AND NASTY Jesus Christ flipped over a bunch of tables in the temple and assaulted our fine money changers with a whip! HE WILL NOT GET AWAY WITH THIS. Jesus is a well-known leftist who has NO RESPECT for the businesses that make our houses of worship great!

"I'm coming to Boston and I'm bringing hell with me." --Homan in February "Do I expect violence to escalate? Absolutely." -- Tom Homan in March "I actually thought about getting up and throwing that man a beating right there in the middle of the room" -- Homan in July, referring to a D congressman

girl, this is so embarrassing for you.

Ghislaine Maxwell filed a petition claiming there are 29 individuals — four alleged co-conspirators and 25 men who reached secret civil settlements connected to Epstein’s abuse — whose names remain hidden and protected from public disclosure by the DOJ. www.thedailybeast.com//ghislaine-m...

Voting NO on the DHS funding bill is the bare minimum. Backing Kristi Noem’s impeachment is the bare minimum. Holding law-breaking ICE agents legally accountable is the bare minimum. ICE is beyond reform. Abolish it.

Christi Noem should testify under oath in Congress and explain why she lied about the facts around the deaths of Renee Good and Alex Pretti.

It's really too bad the United States Congress no longer exists.

There has been an increasing sense in Minneapolis that we are on our own, that our elected representatives are unwilling and/or unable to take action to get these murderous Nazi thugs out of our community. I really hope that changes today. The time for pleading TV hits ended weeks ago.
