How can you not respect this woman when she describes Jake Tapper’s book as “fairy smut.”

These people are a joke.

I'm thinking about how tonight was probably the first time Kilmar Abrego Garcia learned that millions of people care about him - the first time he learned that the United States Supreme Court ruled 9-0 to bring him home. I'm thinking what it must mean for him to know, right now, that he isn't alone.

Thanks to the Allegheny County Democratic Committee

This should be Dem’s line of attack starting immediately. This is a power that has been delegated by congress, congress can take it back at any time and end this craziness.

Free trade is woke.

It's also the day for my favorite meme! If this aging Klingon warrior can get it right, so can anyone.

It *is* happening here.

Human beings as props. These people are pure fucking evil.

I like her.

So they all lied under oath yesterday. Jesus.

🚨 CBS News has received an internal NSA bulletin from Feb 2025 warning staff NOT to use Signal app for sensitive info, citing vulnerabilities to Russian hackers. These docs were sent pre-Houthi chat scandal with Jeffrey Goldberg.

Competence is Woke.

Our for-profit health care system is not only broken & cruel, it's extremely wasteful. While we spend billions on stock buybacks, CEO compensation & denying needed care, Medicare for All would save $650 billion & 68,000 lives a year per CBO & Yale University. Let's get it done.

This is the simple pattern in everything this administration has done: They don’t know what they’re doing. The chainsawing of agencies, the market-tanking stop-and-go tariffs, the war plans dumped unwittingly to a journalist on an open channel. They’re idiots. They have no idea what they’re doing.

The Oligarch party is not interested in competence. In a fascist system/worldview, it’s loyalty that counts, all other attributes are optional.

Look at her just dog walk this idiot!

What would we do? Massive protests would be a given, but what could *really* be done if Rs in congress won’t act?

Accurate, to scale 👇🏽

I refuse to call them Republicans anymore. They do not deserve the name. They have abandoned the republic to a tyrannical oligarchy. They are now the Oligarch party. Elected Dems should stop as well.

Leaders lead—Chuck’s not leading. “I believe if Donald Trump defies the courts, the public will rise up,” @schumer.senate.gov HELLO! Trump already defied the court. What’s so galling is that Chuck caved, voted w/Republicans on their CR—got nothing in return and now expects us to lead the fight.

Bahahaha

Okay fine, they can have a little fascism, as a treat.

You often hear anti-abortion folks talk about how abortion boils down essentially to mothers killing their children, but this kind of thing is fine I guess. God’s will even.

Seeing folks on the other site claim that Alien Enemy Act removals are not reviewable by courts. The statute explicitly requires "a full examination and hearing," and there are literally *dozens* of reported cases from the War of 1812, World War I, and World War II: law.lclark.edu/live/files/9...

Me, when Chuck Schumer tells us that the people need to rise up to fight Trump

SCOOP—Trump plans to issue an executive order designating fentanyl as a "Weapon of Mass Destruction," per copy of EO reviewed by me. Source at State speculates purpose is to designate cartels as terrorist orgs/justify military ops in Mexico/Canada. Context/full text of draft only on The Handbasket:

100% Correct!

If we can’t force Schumer out, we’re in big trouble. He can’t survive this politically, we can’t let him. It’s line in the sand time.

congratulations to john roberts who is as responsible for the current state of affairs as any single person in the country

Nationalize SpaceX and StarLink!

The illegal deportations would be a much bigger story if it was part of a national discussion during a shutdown. This administration is doing unpopular things EVERY DAY that could be highlighted as ongoing justification for the shutdown. Instead, Sen Dems plan (Schumer) is to simply wait.

Great thread on today’s hearing over the Trump Administration’s illegal deportations over the weekend.

The laugh from the whole bar at “discrimination,” is hilarious.

Everything we have stood around the world going back 80 years - collective security, honoring alliances, helping friends & allies, feeding the hungry, treating & curing diseases, humanitarian aid, the rule of law, broadcasting truthful news to people who can’t get it - all gone.

Current leadership is going to dither until it is too late. Schumer makes it clear in his NYT interview that the plan is to wait for the courts to save us. That outlook is increasingly an incredulous one.

Just listened to the whole Schumer NYT interview. What strikes me is just how not up to the moment he is. No fight. No plan.

This is so infuriating. We could be having a weeks long national discussion about the government shutdown, drawing everyone’s attention to things like this!

This is horrible to post, but I may as well post it. We are essentially shutting down research operations in my group, which is focused on treatments for pediatric brain cancer. I’m a well funded investigator, and there’s no choice. Science can’t function without the stability of NIH

Rick Wilson nails it here:

It’s really scary actually that we do not have an opposition party that’s able to do the bare minimum procedurally to try and corral Trumps illegal actions. They won’t even try. What comes next then?

Trump congratulates Schumer for giving him exactly what he wants

Do nothing party continues to do nothing. Pathetic.

Schumer must go.

The CR passed in the House will provide a blank check for Trump and Musk to continue their savage war against working families, the elderly, children, the sick and the poor in order to lay the groundwork for massive tax breaks for billionaires. This is a bill I cannot support.
