I mean yeah it’s an authoritarian takeover but can we take some comfort in the fact that the people doing it are INSANELY stupid?

Lord knows I'm not a fan of any of this corporate media consolidation — Netflix and Paramount both should be barred from buying WBD. But in terms of sending a message, would be stellar if everyone watched Good Night and Good Luck on Netflix together next Sunday when 60 Minutes is on the air.

I am furious that DOJ ignored the new federal law requiring release of the Epstein Files. I am equally angry that so many in legacy media seem not to care. My latest for Democracy Docket lays out the case. Sign up now to access this and all premium content. hubs.ly/Q03CbHTt0

Columbus folks: there have been several reports of ICE hanging out on the Westside, along norton and around that area. Try to be aware for your neighbors and yourselves.

Surprise!

There isn’t enough horse paste in the world to keep this guy upright for another year.

I'm not sure he's going to make it, folks. Eyes are closed

I’m still thinking about Bari Weiss saying that Hasan Piker (extremely popular influencer) is less of a measure of where Americans are than Alan Dershowitz (extremely unpopular Epstein associate, his own neighbors won’t sell him a pierogi)

But of course.

Boston's Mayor Wu playing with Yo-Yo Ma at Symphony Hall

If the pro-life and anti-Christian persecution groups truly believe in their causes, why are they quiet about the president hosting a tyrant at the White House who had a man brutally assassinated and dismembered and who is part of a regime that persecutes Christians?

The House takes 2 months off & finally reports back to work & promptly spends the next week filing censure motions against each other & attending black tie dinners w/Saudis while the clock counts down for 24 million people to have their health insurance premiums spike in 42 days.

I can usually translate him, but either I’m losing my mind, or he is.

Can the next please dear God can the next interviewer ask MTG about oh I don’t know January 6th etc before we keep pretending she found politics Jesus

made a similar point on the opinions podcast this week in response to the idea that epstein is a dead end. not only are actual voters interested in this but it divides the gop and puts pressure on the president. it would be political malpractice to treat it as a sideshow

The administration’s attempt to erase the sacrifices & achievements of Black Americans throughout our nation’s history is outrageous & deeply offensive. These heroes deserve our respect and gratitude. The administration should restore these honors NOW. www.cnn.com/2025/11/13/p...

I've given it some thought, and I think the funniest possible outcome is if they somehow decide to impeach Bill Clinton again

Spread this far and wide. National security professionals will be livid. Also, it is just plain bad leadership - make all your people suffer something that you are unwilling to do. Bad! www.propublica.org/article/fbi-...

They’re all just looting the treasury now

This is really good to see: Miki Sherrill just put out a statement sharply criticizing the Senate Dems' pending cave in the government shutdown, ripping it as "malpractice" and a betrayal of the people who are "counting on us to fight for them." Sherrill knows what drove her victory. Wake up, Dems.

My family has been without half our income for 40 days. It has been.. very hard. We are willing to feel that pain so people can have health care next year, or to undo these illegal recissions. We are not willing to have been put through this for NOTHING.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person. The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person. People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives. And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

If @durbin.senate.gov caves, it’s time for @govpritzker.illinois.gov and @duckworth.senate.gov to pull him aside and have him retire now. Put @julianastratton.bsky.social in the slot. Illinois is under attack and it’s time for fighters.

GOP is endlessly cruel and disgusting. Taking us back to Jim Crow

Get 'em!

This is what the CBP agent who shot Miramar Martinez on October 4 texted the next day. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

This really hasn’t gotten enough attention this week. @wired.com #ICE www.wired.com/story/fbi-wa...

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

Obama: As for the president, he has been focused on critical issues like paving over the rose garden so folks don't get mud on their shoes and gold plating the Oval Office and building a ballroom… If you can't visit a doctor, don't worry. He will save you a dance.

I hear the Epstein Ballroom will be illuminated solely by gaslighting.

I haven’t seen anyone talk about how Jane Doe - an Epstein survivor - just sued the Bank of New York Mellon for funding Epstein and failing to file a Suspicious Activity Report. A Mellon heir is the one who gave $130M to pay the troops. Seems bribey to me.

I wonder how many foreign governments are putting in surveillance in the East wing during reconstruction.

Mamdani hasn’t been elected yet and he’s already driving criminals out of New York.

ICE fired shots again, hitting a civilian and a U.S. marshal. DHS, once again, is claiming the man rammed ICE with his car. Let’s see how long before that version of events unravels. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Too bad SCOTUS has gone authoritarian

The White House is asking people not to share pictures of the East Wing because it’s even worse today.

Statement on LAPD targeting our reporter @shoton35mm.bsky.social 🧵 Video by @filmthepolicela.bsky.social

I knew this in general but not specific details. Do many fascists and idiots among us. Not enough to win though. And there you have it: today's authoritarian state.

The pattern of "religious" men abusing children is real and documented. It's infuriating that LGBTQ+ people bear the brunt of moral panic rhetoric while the actual harm to children is coming from the very people doing the loudest screaming about "protecting" them. #NotADragQueen

This is what democracy looks like. #NoKings

Hark, Speaker Mike Johnson! Looking at all the many, many pics of the enormous, joyous “No Kings” rallies throughout the United States today, I am struck by what lovely weather your Lord and Savior provided. Apparently, God is a fan of, as you claimed, "America-hating Antifa terrorists." Glory!

It's one thing when you see the pictures on the news, it's another thing when you see the protesters on your main street or outside your mall

Chicago saw massive turn out for its #NoKings protest against the Trump regime. #3E #NoKings #50501Movement #indivisible #wearetheflood

The war zone in Portland is out of control.

Swearing in isn’t some ceremony. You aren’t a member of Congress until it happens. He knows that. No phones, no staff, nothing. I had to escort her into the Capitol on Wed bc Capitol police must treat her as a public visitor until she’s sworn in. And solo visitors aren’t allowed during shutdown!

Why do Democrats call us fascists and Nazis? Well, if you act like Nazis….

Mike Johnson has now had the House adjourned for 73 out of the last 85 days. Epstein Shutdown.

Remember these would this Saturday for No Kings...
