Did anyone spot moving vans outside the White House recently that could have been used to remove precious, historic furniture, mantel pieces, fixtures, chandeliers, lamps, and portraits from the East Wing to safety?

The "small wars" stuff solidifies Platner's image in my head as an irony-poisoned edgelord with a sociopathically detached attitude. The kind of attitude that lets you say "oops I have a Nazi tattoo lol".

Jeffries: We have an American president behaving like an organized crime boss, stealing taxpayer dollars in real-time in front of everyone in plain sight. And Republicans have nothing to say about the emerging crime scene at 1600 Pennsylvania avenue.

If there’s one lesson Trump should have burned into our brains it’s beware of people running for higher office who have big opinions but have no legislative or constituent serving experience. I’m not claiming it never works out, but when it fails, it fails spectacularly.

Putting a Democrat with a Nazi tattoo in the Senate normalizes Naziism in our federal politics for a long ass time. All these recent stories about secret Nazi group chats? Anytime that happens going forward will be met with "But Platner." It's not a purity test. Think through the consequences.

The President is disgusting and a disgrace. And he’s clearly rattled by yesterday’s turnout. Keep speaking out. The power belongs to the people.

I'll leave you from Portland with one last video of the @unpresidentedbrass.bsky.social, the unofficial house band of #NoKings

We need one more repost to hit 1000.

“The Constitution is not an instrument for the government to restrain the people, it is an instrument for the people to restrain the government…” ~Patrick Henry

All you Old People Bad LOL commenters: I'm not for term limits. I'm not for any arbitrary limit on my freedom to choose. I'm for voters who aren't constantly looking for a magic formula or silver bullet to absolve them of the responsibility to inform themselves and always vote for harm reduction.

yearly reminder to people insisting that we view Christopher Columbus as "a man of his time" that *the people responsible for the Spanish Inquisition* thought Columbus was out of pocket

These are agents who were sent AFTER the violent insurrection was well underway. Kash Patel issued a statement that said that after a fringe right wing outlet reported it falsely. But Trump chooses to run with the lie from them rather than the statement from his FBI Director.

Stand strong and stay safe, Portland. 💙🐸 #FuckICE

“the girlfriend of one of the founders of antifa”

Don’t worry, Mitch McConnell, we haven’t forgotten that most of this is your fault.

White people- we need to bring back publicly shaming and ostracizing people when they are problematic. That’s fallen by the wayside and is an important social tool for keeping people in check. Hell, bullying too.

Guys, I know you all still cling to conspiracy theories about Merrick Garland bc ... well, you watch too many TV lawyers who knew fuckall about the investigation. But this is a fact. A trial was scheduled to happen 3 years after Jan6, just like Bolsonaro got. Who killed it? John Roberts.

I had no wish for him to be murdered, but I’ll harshly judge anyone who flies their flag at half staff for that hateful extremist or talks about honoring his memory. There was no honor in his life.

sorry to report my finest work remains relevant

Today’s Supreme Court decision reinstates “legal” racism and harkens back to Dred Scott, Black codes, and Jim Crow laws… This is the “again” in maga

No hyperbole this is what the Supreme Court just authorized ICE to do.

Say what you want, but Mitch McConnell isn't getting nearly as much hate as he deserves today.

Thank you for this poetic reminder! Yes, indeed "The City of Big Shoulders"

I am BEGGING reporters to stop using police language in cases like these until you actually know what happened

It never happens with GOP, but too damn often in our party folks try to build themselves up by tearing Dems down. You can demand better from us without pissing all over the house we’ve built together. I’m sick of it. If you make a name for yourself by trashing the party, I’m calling you out.

Gov JB Pritzker (D-IL) “This isn’t a time to pretend there are two sides to this story. This is not a time to fall back into the reflexive crouch that I so often see, where the authoritarian creep by this administration is ignored in favor of some horse race piece on who will be helped politically”

And the sharpest weapon so far is Epstein. That's why we can't drop it...it's the best cudgel we have so far.

Tim Walz: "Think of how easy it would be to be a damn Republican. 'Oh, what should I wear today? This stupid frickin' red hat. What should I say today? I don't know, just make sure it's cruel. Who do we listen to? That guy -- the felon in the White House.'"

Tim Walz: "I always get in trouble for it and I'll continue to say it, I don't think we do any favors when we don't name it -- these are fascist policies."

Words/phrases Democrats should never use: * bipartisan * my Republican friends * real, valid, legitimate, serious, important (to describe issue raised by Republicans) * yea (when voting on Republican bills) * distraction (to describe bad thing Republicans did) * woke (in derogatory sense)

The president claims the government has taken a 10% interest in Intel. I'm wondering what/who is "the government." Since T equates himself with America, are these shares going into his pocket? Into the treasury? Who is following the bread crumbs?

I would argue two stolen seats...

“Nobody’s talking about Rockbridge, and that’s exactly how they want it.” Ashley on the Private Club for Billionaires where Vance, Thiel, etc. map out the right-wing takeover 🇺🇸

If I were Denmark, I’d use the opportunity to join the EU leaders in DC and push Trump to clarify his “ambitions” for Greenland. USE THE OPPORTUNITY. Talk about everything, at once. THAT all is part of his one big service to Putin. Canada, join in. He talked about Arctic. He talked about YOU.

He was taught by Roy Cohn. He was mentored by Roger Stone. The GOP follows his example.

1. As a consultant analyst that generally presents to the C-suite of organisations, I am often asked to produce short, concise explanations of both biological and geopolitical risks. Regarding Covid-19, I use the same summary with both C-level clients and friends:

“A five alarm fire for democracy” 🇺🇸 👇🏽Here’s the video @gavinnewsom.bsky.social just released asking Californians to “Vote YES November 4” to counter Trump’s election theft attempt in Texas.

. @mayor.lacity.gov shows up to Little Tokyo and reacts to the 100 agent ICE/BP raid during @cagov.bsky.social ‘s press conference about redistricting.

As Trump tries to take over DC's police, realize: without the MPD, the Jan 6 Capitol attack may have succeeded. The attack was intended to be fast, and nearly was. It stalled when MPD bike cops arrived on the West Plaza. Made this video in 2022 to show that fast action by DC officials saved us. 1/

In big block letters..."collusion" is not a legal term, the search was for evidence to "charge a criminal conspiracy". When people like Manafort fall on their sword (which I think we did not expect) rather than turn state's evidence, it's hella hard. It's why the Mafia was so successful.

Look at states like Ohio, MO, Fl where citizen referendums are ignored. In Ohio, where multiple court orders re: maps are ignored. Like WI NC, where Rs restrict the power of elected state officials when Dems win that office. They are in prey drive mode. They have no intention of backing off...ever.

It drives Jonathan Turley crazy when I remind everyone that he is just Mike Lindell with tenure. So, please make sure not to amplify this message.👇 Jonathan Turley is just Mike Lindell with tenure.

MAGA killed Big Bird...bumper sticker for 2026

The ballroom will be used for grifting. And maybe more trafficking…

If you know the west of the Cascades WA state, you know it takes a lot for our Senator to be this frank in calling something "unimaginably stupid". For our terminally process oriented and crippled by courtesy public servants...thems is fighting words. Senator Murray angry? Lindsey stepped in it.

Quote of the Day (aimed directly at Republicans):

Y'know what I dwell on from the pandemic time? What I make an effort to center in my memory? Those first few weeks when we were all in it together, when we shut down the country to save the most vulnerable. This was not a delusion, it was a real thing that happened and it brought out the best in us

One way to avoid the anti-Semitic accusation is to criticize Netanyahu and his Kahanist cabinet, rather than the nation of Israel. Pretty analogous to criticizing Hamas, which is the governing cabal, instead of Palestinians. If people don't accept the existence of Israel as a starting point, there
