"The irreversible gravity of killing, coupled with the lack of a substantive legal justification, is bringing into sharper view a structural weakness of law as a check on the American presidency." { gift link } www.nytimes.com/2025/10/24/u...

Trump’s govt shutdown is another reminder •We dont have an energy shortage •Or insulin shortage •Or housing shortage •Or teacher shortage •Or labor shortage •Or food shortage We have billionaire excess who buy politicians to deny human rights. We dont suffer from scarcity—but from billionaire greed

Trump gave Amazon a $16 billion tax break to accelerate its investments this year. Now, Amazon will replace 600,000 workers with robots as Jeff Bezos accelerates his plan to automate warehouses. No. Corporate tax breaks do not trickle down to workers. Never have. Never will.

Ah. “Mellon, the 77-year-old … who poured $30 million into 3 GOP super PACs in 5 months, wrote that black people were ‘even more belligerent’ after the expansion of social programs in the 1960s and 1970s and that Americans who rely on government assistance were ‘slaves of a new Master, Uncle Sam.’”

The Republicans have placed their own selfish thirst for wealth and power over the good of the country and have enabled Trump's corruption and consolidation of power at the expense of our democracy. They are a cancer that must be removed before any healing and reformation can begin in America.

AIDING FASCISM: TN’s GOP Attorney General Jonathan Skrmetti is trying to help Donald Trump rip up the U.S. Constitution. What if Biden had issued an executive order repealing the 2nd Amendment? Hello? We’re in the middle of a constitutional crisis and that’s how reporters should be covering it.

The Pentagon accepted an anonymous $130 million donation to help pay troops' salaries. Fiscal policy experts are questioning the legality of the move.   "In general, you may not spend money that has been donated because the Constitution and the Anti-Deficiency Act say that you can't."

he's also the majority on the Supreme Court

we have a way for guys like this to fund the military it’s called “taxes” and clearly they should go up

Is Venezuela a major fentanyl trafficker to the US? NO. Does it have the largest oil reserves in the world? YES. Just saying.

this Reagan ad clearly got to the mad King some American-based group should start running those ads featuring Reagan (as much as it annoys me to say anyone should do anything featuring Reagan)

The U.S. exports an ungodly amount of guns to countries like Mexico and Haiti. These guns are used to commit the very violence people in those countries are fleeing. They come to the U.S. seeking safety, only to be terrorized by federal agents that are carrying more and more guns.

MAGA spent all of 2024 complaining that couldn’t afford groceries. Now they are demonizing people losing their SNAP benefits and telling them they should’ve managed better or worked harder.

Revealed: How ex-MAGA schools chief lied to board members to pass controversial standards

Former Federal Reserve Chairs Ben Bernanke and Janet Yellen urged the US Supreme Court to overturn most of Trump’s global tariffs, saying they’re based on misconceptions about the global economy.

Even more than I thought

MAGA governor hit with stinging ruling over bid to hold seat empty for 8 months

Raise your hand if you think this is corrupt as fuck! ✋😡

KKKaroline Leavitt Again Says Quiet Part Out Loud, Ignoring ‘When Your In A Hole Stop Digging’ Rule

So the US military is privately funded now? Trump’s friend is gonna pay the military. Who do you think the military will be loyal to then? This is insane.

"These days, your money belongs to Donald Trump, and he does whatever he wants with it. The White House belongs to Trump, and he does whatever he wants with it. That’s what kings do. And it's part of the broader breakdown of democracy." — @snipy.bsky.social

In the past, lawmakers have approved conditions for government shutdowns, ensuring that national security and the military are still paid despite the closure.

Denouncing modern art (AKA "Degenerate Art") was the only part of the Nazi playbook that had been missing from Stephen Miller's commentaries.

Whenever you think he's nazi'd as hard as any one person can possibly nazi, he just nazis harder.

Retired intelligence analysts confirm what the political scientists are telling us — and what the world outside is telling us — the goal of these people is the end of law, the end of democracy, and the end of a recognizable republic. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

This is a U.S. citizen being brutally abducted by ICE while his mom pleads for them to stop and the videographer cries for help. The Chicago police do nothing to stop it. They will come for everyone, and they’re not even hiding that anymore. If you are not organizing and resisting yet, get started.

Trump flunkie Todd Blanche says it's a crime for states to hold violent ICE thugs responsible for their crimes. He is wrong.

House lawmakers have met and voted just 87 days so far in 2025

Reminder that while Todd Blanche is threatening to arrest Democrats, he's also one of the officials who decides whether to hand $230 million in taxpayer money to Trump, which he very well may do. That should secure him that pardon if he needs it. newrepublic.com/article/2021...

Prop 50 is how we stop rigged maps and protect real democracy. If your vote didn’t matter, they wouldn’t be working so hard to take it from you. #VoteYesOnProp50

This is bigger than parties. Bigger than campaigns. Bigger than whoever is trending today. It’s about who gets to decide the future. And that must be the voters. #VoteYesOnProp50

North Carolina voters are once again asking a federal court to step in after Republican lawmakers pushed through what they call an “unnecessary, mid-decade redistricting” that dismantles long-standing Black opportunity districts.

The U.S. and the Philippines are the only two countries with a for-profit bail industry, says civil rights lawyer @equalityalec.bsky.social. The insistence that people in pre-trial detention pay to get out of jail leads to "millions of coerced guilty pleas" by poor people each year, he says.

Mark Zuckerberg's net worth is up over $50 billion since January 1.

"We need to continue to step up our military support to Ukraine — air defense capacities, long-range capabilities, drones, and anti-drone systems," French President Emmanuel Macron said, joining the meeting virtually.

‘Pops Off the Screen!’ CNN Data Guru Reveals Stunning Economic Polling Stat

WATCH: “A MASTER PLAN” Usually stoic Kushner silently panics as Witkoff spills the beans on the Trump regime’s war profiteering in Gaza - they’ve been working on for ‘TWO YEARS’🤔 (But don’t worry, apparently $50 Billion is “not a lot of money”! 💰🙃) PSA: This slip-up should be a big deal.

Reagan warned about tariffs in 1987. The ad quotes him faithfully. Critics call it misleading because it ‘acts like’ he’s commenting on 2025 policy -- which is impossible, he’s dead. That’s how ludicrous the argument is.

Schumer on Trump Canada trade talks halt: 'The madness must stop'

Tariffs are a TAX that hampers all competition and reduces technological innovation. Reagan said this himself. They lead over time to fewer jobs, and they can ultimately result in a global depression through trade wars and escalation that wrecks international commerce. This happened 100 years ago!

Remember that Trump gave Bannon a corrupt pardon—and that it’s the corrupt pardon Trump gave Bannon that allowed Bannon to participate in this seeming quid pro quo: an apparent criminal conspiracy to attempt another self-coup/auto-coup (the technical term for what January 6 was). Trump is complicit.

Oh wow

BANNON: “Trump will be president in 2028 and get a third term. People oughta get accommodated with that.” “What about the constitution?” BANNON: “He’s a vehicle of divine providence.” (PSA: Believe them. He is not joking.)
