This reality check by Rebecca Solnit grabs you right from the killer first sentence. Do yourself a favor & give it a read.

Now is the time to confront what Trump is saying, not sanitize it. To take him literally and seriously. To stand tall and not back away. I built Democracy Docket to expose attacks on free and fair elections not sugarcoat them. Support its work. Subscribe now. bit.ly/4qmEiFz

There was a time when Republicans would see a president posting "praise be to Allah" as an impeachable offense.

Jesus fucking christ. Really? Are we pretending that the "Biden has dementia" stories weren't front and center every day? They know how to react. They just fucking won't.

For a LONNNNNG time in the First Reign of Terror, the Press wouldn't say the word *lie*. They called it a falsehood or some other softening of the word. But the word *lie* was avoided at all costs when it was clear that's what he was doing. Finally, someone said the word & others followed. Same now.

And yet this same WH press Corp. were endlessly rude to Biden. Shouting at him, interrupting him. They are all a bunch of cowards. The double standard is so disgusting. Trump is just a man and a failed one at that. They have given him too much power.

Fantastic, timely read from @atrupar.com & @thorbenson.bsky.social. Mark Jacob on the press: “They don’t know how to react when Donald Trump says or does something that’s mentally deranged. Too often, they try to fit it into a rational frame of reference even though it’s irrational.” 🧾 is.gd/tf7IML

Palm Beach Gardens #nokings protest. May not look large but this is a Ref State right near Mar A Lago …. We r showing up!!!!!

Medicare for All would save $450B a year. Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity. Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall. It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities.

It has been more than 30 days since the Department of Justice was required by federal law to make all of the Epstein Files public. According to the DOJ’s own estimates, it has released less than 1% so far. The last time the Department of Justice released any documents was Dec. 23, 2025.

DHS has shot 12 people during immigration enforcement operations since September:

What we know so far, 8:30pm —Democrats flip VA-Gov & VA-LG. —Also means Dems take VA trifecta. —Dems in good shape to win NJ-Gov. —Dems appear to flip 2 statewide offices in Georgia. —JD Vance's half-brother loses in Cincinnati. —Last GOPer in Orlando council gone. —PA: Dem justices up big so far.

One reason so many American hospitals are struggling? Investors buy them up, then suck them dry, charging such high rents that services are gutted. Reveal explores what happened to one Louisiana hospital when Medical Properties Trust came to town. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

People exploding this false messaging that I voted for a bill + funding that I quite literally voted NO on. The threat environment this morning is scary. Doesn’t help anyone. Drag me for the position if you disagree but don’t lie. It’s out of control. Saying I voted for this funding is false.

#GoodTrouble In a small coastal town, Waldport Oregon, we had 130 people walk across the Alsea Bay Bridge in honor of Rep. Rev John Lewis. We sang "We Shall Overcome" before our march and will continue to make Good Trouble to protect our civil rights and to fight injustice. More photos coming

New bombshell from my investigators on Epstein's sex trafficking operation: the Trump administration has an Epstein file detailing 4,725 wire transfers and almost $1.1 billion flowing through just one of his banks. Hundreds of millions more through others.

CBS canceled Colbert’s show just THREE DAYS after Colbert called out CBS parent company Paramount for its $16M settlement with Trump – a deal that looks like bribery. America deserves to know if his show was canceled for political reasons. Watch and share his message.

Emil Bove has shown again and again that he can’t be trusted to serve as a fair, impartial judge. Use @standupamerica.com’s tool to urge the Senate to vote NO on his nomination: act.standupamerica.com/letters/cte-...

This is hilarious 😂

Via @nhassanein.bsky.social and @stateline.org: More American children and teens die from firearms than any other cause, but there are more deaths — and wider racial disparities — in states with more permissive gun policies, according to a new study.

Another reason that Desperate Donnie left the G7 Summit early. Carney announces the release of another $2bn of frozen Russian assets and sanctions on Russia (including shadow fleets). “The support will be unwavering until we get a just peace for Ukrainian people.”

🇲🇽 #PresidentOfMexico #ClaudiaSheinbaum arrives as a special guest at the #G7 in #Canada. Mexicans receive her with great affection, and she responds with great affection in return 🥰

This is well stated. Mike Lee will forever be associated in my mind with his unbelievably cruel and stupid tweets about the Hortman assassination. He is a disgrace to the Senate and Utah.

Hi, this is Meg Barnette, Brad's wife. While escorting a defendant out of immigration court at 26 Federal Plaza, Brad was taken by masked agents and detained by ICE. This is still developing, and our team is monitoring the situation closely.

I did an event in DC & there was a party for donors etc after. Was talking to 2 ppl & I said "Things are so bad." They said "No this is how it is. Things swing one way, then another. It's normal." That's when I realized why Dems are toothless. They have no idea what this is. Frogs boiling in water.

Here's another example of using the "scold the stupid child" approach. She reads the law to him, slowly and carefully, and boxes him in to the point that he turns beet red.

Delaying Mexican tariffs but not Canadian puts the lie to the idea that the tariffs have anything to do with fentanyl flows (since there are effectively no fentanyl flows across the northern border and there plenty across the southern border.) It was all an empty pretext anyway. This just proves it.

We are arms dealers to terrorists.

Exactly 😡
