Dear all journalists - Just because the president has long believed [X] or has always wanted to [Y], that doesn’t make it, y’know, a thing. Or legal. Thanks.

Kristi Noem’s podium at DHS is just a straight up Nazi slogan "One of ours, all of yours" was a Nazi policy made when an SS officer was killed in a Czech Village and then the Nazis killed every single resident of that village in response…..but don’t you dare call them Nazis….not even hiding it

Ex-Minnesota Governor Jesse Ventura: “We’re a 3rd world country now. I know. I’ve been to ‘em. I spent 17 months in SE Asia while the draft dodger was playing golf… that’s what happens in a dictatorship. In comes the military. That’s what’s happening here.” 🇺🇸

There’s a lesson for America from Iran’s burgeoning protests. When they were about freedoms they got traction but didn’t hit critical mass. This time the economy collapsed and everyone was burned, including the security forces. Look to the effects of Trump Tariffs in the coming months.

By what right? Well, Norwegians led by Erik the Red settled Greenland in 986. Then, later, Norway and Denmark combined to become a union that lasted for a few centuries. When they separated in 1814, Norway ceded Greenland to Denmark. There's more, but that basically catches us up.

Here's Emmer partying it up at MAL while those in MN-6 have their health insurance rates double.

Trump is increasingly worried about his own mortality, and he's trying to use government to create a physical legacy that will outlive him. Which is why every bit of it must be torn down and smashed to bits. My latest at Public Notice: www.publicnotice.co/p/trump-rena...

God I hate this timeline; wherein it has me agreeing with Rand F***ing Paul.

HOPE WALZ: “What world are we f*cking living in? I draw the line at Gus. You people are f*cking disgraceful.” She says MAGA loyalists are now driving by their home and yelling “R*tard!” at her family and her special needs brother after Trump called GovTimWalz the R word.

The US government is summarily executing people on a weekly basis without telling the American people any of their names or presenting any proof of their guilt, for alleged crimes that do not carry the death penalty in the US.

What's changed is that the Court has become more transparent in its corruption. There's not even an argument here beyond the implicit one which is: how do you expect us to hold the House without those seats?

Rich Lowry is a bigoted piece of shit whose existence makes America a worse place. He's vapid patrician gentility used to mask gutter racism. He's a Brooks Brothers pocket square used to wipe Nick Fuentes' ass.

Trump’s belief in Might Makes Right - the slogan for bullies everywhere - is going to create a vast army of enemies for the US across Central and South America. The repercussions could be huge for all US citizens.

Assuming every boat Trump and Hegseth blew up contained the amount of drugs they claim, Hernandez was responsible for bringing more drugs into the US than every one of them had combined. By far. And yet, Trump murders 80+ people and counting while pardoning the narco kingpin.

He is risen

we're all looking for the guy who introduced unprecedented coarseness, vulgarity, and flippant violence into national politics

Point and laugh at the frightened, whimpering little babies. #RacistTears

Mike Johnson: ‘My Christian Faith Is More About Not Jacking Off Than Feeding The Poor’

Anecdotal evidence of touch-the-stove success. This voter took benefits for granted, dismissed every warning about Trump, bought into lies that he wants to help regular people, and only now, seeing Trump take away benefits she personally values, is reconsidering. Sucks that it had to be this way.

Never in the history of the US has any president openly and repeatedly called for the investigation, arrest & prosecution of his political opponents. While many continue to shrug these things off and normalize them, I will never stop pointing out that this is what autocrats do.

A US agent tried to recruit the personal pilot of Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro to capture the President in exchange for cash, AP reports. The pilot refused and exposed the plot.

Plaintiffs: "What is happening is, agents are proactively throwing tear gas at civilians. They're inciting violence, and then they're using that violence to justify more force."

Venezuela claims it has captured CIA-linked mercenaries plotting a “false flag” attack to justify US military action.

Donald Trump is lining his own pockets and draining ours. This corruption is unprecedented.

Democrats should be drawing up legislation right now, this very minute, to bar Trump from helping himself to $230 million in taxpayer funds from DOJ. Challenge Republicans to hold a vote on it. Push this so hard in the media that every GOP Senate and House candidate is pressed to comment on it.

great irony to scrub mentions of the civil war from Arlington. it exits because gen meigs decided it was a just punishment for robert e. lee's treason to have his family estate confiscated and made into a cemetery for union dead. they started the burials right up on the mansion to make certain ...

NEW: Jack Smith has responded to Chuck Grassley and the Senate Judiciary, and it's 🔥🔥🔥 Jack Smith reminds Chuck Grassley: 1. Toll records aren't wiretaps 2. Trump's DOJ got toll records on Schiff and Swallwell and 43 congressional staffers 3. Hur got toll records in the Biden investigation 1/

This shows in so many ways Halligan is unsuited to be United States Dogcatcher, let alone United States Attorney. She writes a reporter whining about reporting but not offering any actionable specific things the reporter got wrong. There's NO WAY that helps anything. /1

Make Argentina Great Again!

It’s amazing how all the reporting is just memory-holing this part

Finally, a good explainer of Dems' other shutdown demand, via @citizencohn.bsky.social. It's about trying to make it harder for the Trump admin to continue unilaterally (and illegally) cutting funding for government programs substack.com/home/post/p-...

Trump took office with a Israel-Hamas ceasefire in place, then announced a vision for Gaza as a US-owned resort, with most Palestinians living there gone. Israel restarted military ops in March and imposed famine. Thousands of dead Palestinians later, the Trump admin helped broker another ceasefire.

There were at least two ceasefires under Biden! In which more than five times as many living Israeli hostages were released in exchange for 240 Palestinians! Has everyone forgotten this?

Trump got a Covid vaccine today.

The White House Antifa Roundtable is one of the best displays I’ve seen of this-is-how-bad-it’s-gotten — just a sewer of open fascism, dementia, morons and freaks, and incoherent rage.

No one is covering the GOP's scheme to rig congressional maps for 2026 as closely as Democracy Docket. It is providing gavel to gavel coverage of the ongoing hearing over whether the Texas gerrymander will be in place for the midterms. Support its work by subscribing now. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

The US is now four months away from losing its measles elimination status. 1544 confirmed cases reported by the CDC.

As if irony isn’t already dead, the Hatch Act violation on the DOJ website, which blames Democrats for the shutdown, appears on the page advising DOJ employees they are subject to the Hatch Act. joycevance.substack.com/p/a-note-abo...

He can’t take tariff money and give it to anyone, so that is bs. Congress has to pass another farm bailout bill just like they had to the last time Trump wrecked their businesses. So farmers will have to embrace socialism again since they can’t compete in market capitalism.

Dean: The president is unhinged Johnson: A lot of folks on your side are too. I don’t control him Dean: Oh my god, please. That performance in front of the generals. Johnson: I didn’t see it. Dean: Our allies are looking elsewhere. Our enemies are laughing.

How can you negotiate with Republicans in Congress to fund the government when as soon as you reach an agreement you know that Trump’s OMB director will just withhold the funds?

Why would any legislator vote for a budget the executive will ignore? In that situation, a yes vote conveys one thing and nothing else: validation for the White House’s blatantly unconstitutional actions.

I hope it's clear to everyone now that Trump really is going for it - he's trying to become a dictator. I don't know if he'll succeed, but he's working to install himself as an autocrat unaccountable to voters. And he's weaponizing the military against Americans who oppose him as part of that effort

Trump declares war on Americans: "Our history is filled with military heroes who took on all enemies foreign and domestic. That's what the oath says -- foreign and domestic. Well we also have domestic."

democrats have a duty right now to loudly remind the military they are required by law to refuse unconstitutional orders
