All this will do is increase, dramatically, the suicide rate among trans kids. Societies should be judged by how well they take care of their most vulnerable members. The United States in 2025 continues to fail this test.

Yes

Sometimes when I listen to Trump speak I think he is well on his way to dementia. Other times I think he’s on something. Then I think it’s just because his vocabulary is very limited and he struggling to read someone else’s words. But most of the time I think it’s all 3.

It hasn't even been twelve hours, but all three of us have been overwhelmed with requests from media for comment and I'm mostly writing this now so they'll leave me alone.

How it started. How it's going.

I’m going to put this image out here to combat the ugliness of this day…because it captures the pure joy that emanated from his great big smile. RIP Rob Reiner and Michele Singer Reiner💔

Congresswoman Ilhan Omar's son was pulled over by ICE and forced to prove he is an American. Two options: 1) ICE deliberately targeted him. 2) ICE is stopping all non-White people without any probable cause and forcing them to prove they are citizens. Hard to say which option is scarier.

More like at least 2 per week. If the average #trauma #surgeon works 26 weeks per year, let’s say 52 per year and ~1000 #gunshot victims in a 20 year career

What's striking about Trump's lies, and those of his apologists, is that they're not even plausible. They don't try to be plausible. As others have noted, that's kind of the point. True authoritarian control and power is telling a blatant and obvious lie, and showing you can get away with it.

The real divide in America isn’t whether or not you believe this. Literally no one believes this. The real divide is between the people who think lying should matter—and the people who’ll make an exception for our Great Leader.

be aware there is a an absolutely massive disinfo campaign going around trying to say that the dude who disarmed this sicko was not named Ahmed al Ahmed but "Edward Crabtree" the site, article, & all articles it links to appear to be all created/registered today & AI generated archive.is/K5eSI

so far tonight msnbc has interviewed two students from brown university that are also survivors of separate high school shootings. insanity.

In my opinion the president shouldn't constantly be like "Holy shit did you guys see this?" and repeating a thing he kinda heard on TV. I don't think that should be mostly what the president does.

Dictators like Trump depend upon fear to enforce loyalty. Once defections start, it can be hard to get people back into line. In the last month or so, we’ve seen defections from MTG, all of Congress on Epstein and leaders on Venezuela, and Indiana on gerrymandering. That’s a sea change.

Trump putting his billionaire tech donor oligarch friends ahead of the people to make regulating A.I. impossible should alarm everyone. Where are the “states rights” folks on this one?

Buttigieg on Indiana: "The big part of how Trumpism works is to make you feel totally disempowered. To make him feel inevitable. And yet the clear takeaway from this is he is not unstoppable and you are not without power."

COLLINS: You talk about 15 years of Obamacare. But that also means Republicans have had 15 years to come up with a solution and have not yet done so. ROGER MARSHALL: I'm not sure what we can say

Given the high suicide rates for veterans, cutting mental health and suicide prevention jobs at the Veterans Administration is UNCONSCIONABLE. The Trump administration is full of incompetent, hateful monsters.

some significant part of this is just catch-all fear for “this is not the child I ordered” I think

! Colin Allred is ENDING his Senate campaign and instead running for the House in Texas' redrawn 33rd congressional district.

Everytime Butker messes up an angel gets its wings and the rest of us enjoy our petty.

Another round of Sunday shows today where a string of Republican senators and representatives claimed to have no knowledge or awareness of any of the worst things Trump said or did this week.

😕

Donald Trump just removed Martin Luther King Jr. Day and Juneteenth from the list of free entry days at national parks. They are being replaced with Trump’s birthday.

This is totalitarianism. Not rule of law democracy. And everyone who excused thus is potentially signing this nation’s death warrant.

What this chart shows: - In all five House specials, Dems retained a higher percentage of their 2024 House vote than Reps. - All five saw shifts to the left of more than 10 points. - The shift in higher-turnout TN was about the same as in lower-turnout AZ. www.pbump.net/o/the-leftwa...

The boats the regime is claiming are going from Venezuela to the US would need to refuel over 20 times to get to Miami. They are lying to us.

This man may be the most racist president this country has ever had, and twelve presidents owned slaves

“I think” is how a system run by a king or a dictator works. Here, we have a rule of law that says no one, and that includes the government, can murder people on a whim because it “thinks” they’re up to no good.

It's wild but not surprising that last week the White House was leaning into "these seditious Democrats dared suggest that troops were receiving illegal orders!!!" and this week they are scrambling to figure out who to blame for issuing illegal orders.

U.S. Rep. Jasmine Crockett appears to be inching closer to a U.S. Senate bid, scheduling a “special announcement” for Monday.

"These people are garbage." —Donald Trump, while being garbage. “They took billions of dollars.” —Donald Trump, while taking billions of dollars. "They accomplish nothing." —Donald Trump, while accomplishing nothing. "All they do is complain." —Donald Trump, while complaining. #Projection

It's great that reporting on the double tap has spotlighted the abject criminality of this Administration. But don't forget: Venezuela is not waging war on America or Americans, and the men killed were not combatants. The first strike was every bit as illegal as the second.

Maybe putting a dozen narcissistic poser Fox hosts in charge of sprawling federal agencies with millions of combined employees and vastly important responsibilities with enormous power wasn’t the greatest plan.

Listen, Trump. Your continued threats will not intimidate me or keep me from doing my job, which includes oversight of the executive branch. Stop the threats of execution, hanging, and sending a mob before someone gets hurt. America deserves better.

If you had told me Mamdani and MTG would both be in the news today, and gave me eleventy thousand guesses as to why, I’d … still be guessing.

From a spokesperson for U.S. Senator Elissa Slotkin:

New meme format just dropped:

If you receive an illegal order, you have a duty to disobey. This isn’t controversial. A President calling for the execution of anyone who reminds service members of this oath is showing us why the duty to disobey illegal orders is so important in the first place.

Thou shalt not threaten thy citizens with execution because they’re calling you President Pedo Piggy.

Abolish ICE. Stop funding genocide. Medicare For All. I’m running for Congress in New York’s 12th Congressional District to make the government work for all Americans and fight for human rights across the world. Donate & Support: www.kaskyforcongress.com

There can only be one reason Donald Trump & Stephen Miller are going ballistic over people in the military being reminded that they can refuse to obey illegal orders—illegal orders were *always* the plan.

The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted. If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.

This will surely surprise most Americans today, but historians have recently discovered that before Donald Trump, it was actually incredibly rare for a president to demand the public execution of this political opponents and press critics.

Key: - the posts that don’t make any sense, are from Piggy - the posts that don’t make any sense AND sound homicidal, are from Stephen Miller

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged. Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

Do you really think a Department of Justice that lies to judges about grand jury indictments is going to be open and honest about the Epstein Files?

Corruption at every level of government. Inconvenient truths are eradicated.
