Clarence Thomas likens old rulings that protect our rights to trains driven by monkeys.

No veteran should have their social security number leaked, let alone passed to a political opponent by the government.

Why do headlines say "norms shattered" when what is meant is "laws broken" or "Constitution violated"?

The rules have changed. Mike Johnson wants to wait until the official results come in October 14th to swear in Grijalva.

bit by bit, the administration is laying the groundwork and actually carrying out a system of repressing democratic life in america. redefining opposition as terrorism, targeting critics, investigating civic funders. we're so far beyond normal and, again, only eight months in.

Trump has been the worst president ever for farmers. Twice. But they voted for him three times. Now they want the rest of America to give them welfare. When they did it to themselves. But they don’t like socialism.

Remember that new study? Yeah we been knowing. 96% of BLM protests were peaceful; same for 99% of the pro-Palestine protests… And while I saw lots of reports on the study, I can’t say the same for the bigger news: That Trump scraped the study from all government websites — like it never existed!

This ought to be engraved somewhere.

Don't read this if you don't want to become more angry with #ICE than you already are. They’ve won in court, but ICE is still detaining and trying to deport them www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Also the Tylenol thing is unfalsifiable. By saying there is an association between something MOST pregnant people do, especially without an alternative, they can claim to have “solved” it. It’s no different than if they said autism was caused by wearing shoes. They get credit without burden of proof

Look I'm not the man to do this but if somebody isn't making a supercut of Rapturetok influencers realizing they have to remain on this dogshit planet right now then I don't even know why I have a computer anymore.

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

It won't stop at transgender people. Don't defend them now, there won't be anyone left later to defend you when it's your turn. The fascists are coming for all of us

Authoritarian, Miliei, did some DOGE type cuts like Elon Musk and tanked their economy. Bissent wants to prop up Argentina’s economy because it makes what he and Trump did look bad. I find it amusing that a libertarian wants some socialism to bail his country out What happened to America First?

There is only one way to resolve this. RELEASE THE HOMAN TAPES!!!

From @hcrichardson.bsky.social: "the U.S. Dept of Agriculture is ending its annual report on household food security." An expert who explains that this is troubling because inflation is up & the job market is unstable, both of which increase food insecurity. open.substack.com/pub/heatherc...

Murphy continues to be a really clear voice

So unifying

What I am really most curious about with Tom Homan: did he keep the $50,000, did he claim it on his taxes, and what do the tax authorities in New York have to look into today that they did not yesterday because of @carolleonnig.bsky.social's reporting?

This is quite the post. 1. He unambiguously directs his AG to go after those who investigated him for his crimes 2. He admits being influenced by online chatter He is mob bossing out in the open, because he knows he has corrupted every federal law enforcement agency into submission.

So what happened to the $50K in cash Tom Homan got in the Cava bag? Was it deposited in his bank account and reported as income that he paid taxes on? Is it under his mattress?

It’s really all we should be talking about today.

Imagine weaponizing the Justice Department to chase phantom crimes against your political opponents… then punishing prosecutors for not making them up. That’s not America, that’s authoritarianism.

This is who is advising the president of the United States

BS. Sen. Lummis feels the same way: speech she agrees with from people she likes must be free from verbal criticism she doesn’t like, while speech she doesn’t agree with should be unconstitutionally censored. The GOP has been remarkably consistent about that, even if it’s not how they worded it.
