Newsom: "Greg Bovino - dressed up as if he literally went on eBay & purchased SS garb. Secret police, private army, masked men, people disappearing, no due process ... so is it surprising that the Trump administration didn't like my commentary and wanted to make sure I wasn't allowed to speak? No."

Neguse: "This is theater. Republicans are trying to rewrite history. That's what this is ... it's an outrage that Republicans now sit here and have the audacity to try to rewrite history in front of the officers who sacrificed everything to protect them."

"LIVE, FROM DAVOS, IT'S SATURDAY NIGHT!"

Brooklyn Park police chief Mark Bruley: "We're hearing people being stopped with no cause & being demanded to show paperwork to determine if they're here legally. We started hearing from our police officers the same complaints. Every one of these individuals is a person of color... it has to stop"

My Republican colleagues must take notice: The U.S. cannot base foreign policy on whether or not a president gets a prize. This is pathetic. It is petty and dangerous narcissism — behavior we might expect from a spoiled child, not the leader of a democratic nation.

"There comes a point where we have to start questioning whether or not he’s actually aware of what’s happening around him & the harm he’s doing. It’s similar to historical figures like Nero or Caligula. Their madness took over & they started doing wildly destructive things. Trump is in that place."

I swear the kid just offered me his lunch money, said I deserved more lunch than anyone in history.

here's today's post: "neediest dipshit ever gets Nobel Participation Trophy" — this is so embarrassing. thanks for reading, and please sign up for my daily newsletter so you never miss a post —

New in PN: Democrats need to shut down Trump's terrorist government "Democrats should reject any pretense of political normalcy while Trump’s goons wage an ongoing terror campaign against their own constituents. With government funding running out soon, the time to take a stand is now."

On the ground here in Minnesota, it’s hard to reconcile the immense bonds of community that have been built in a week with the fact that we live in a country whose government appropriated billions of dollars to an unaccountable paramilitary force whose sole purpose is ethnic cleansing.

🤡BEYOND PARODY SEN. MULLIN: “I support removing 🇮🇷 ‘s regime.” COLLINS: “You’re ok taking out the Iranian regime?” MULLIN: “I am.” *seconds later* MULLIN: “We’re not into regime change.” COLLINS: “But you just said you are.” MULLIN: “Yeah, Absolutely.” Bro whut🤦🏻‍♂️

Q: The premier of Greenland said today, 'We prefer to stay with Denmark.' TRUMP: Who said that? Q: The premier of Greenland TRUMP: Well, that's their problem. I disagree with him. I don't know who he is. Don't know anything about him. But that's gonna be a big problem for him.

"They were very patient" before shooting her in the face.

"One year into his second term, how has Trump performed on the economy? The answer is: not good. Not good at all. Other than the depths of the Great Recession and the covid pandemic, job growth in the first year of Trump’s second term was the worst in *over two decades*" — @paulwaldman.bsky.social

I invite all Americans to join Minnesota in a day of unity tomorrow.

Walz: "It's beyond me that apparently from the federal government, the Homeland Security director herself, has already determined who this person who, what their motive was, and they hadn't even been taken out of the vehicle. We're not living in a normal world."

"If it wasn’t Shirley’s video, it would have been something else. If it wasn’t MN, it would have been somewhere else. If it wasn’t about daycare fraud, it would have been something else. Everything this administration does is about creating a fig leaf to justify its violent dismantling of democracy"

Sending three ghosts tonight to fuck up Stephen Miller.

WOAH!

Q: Would you seek authorization for any land attacks on cartels in Venezuela? TRUMP: I don't have to tell them. It's been proven.

This is so fucking embarrassing.

>Venezuela is stealing our oil and land

"Republicans often kowtow to Trump’s demands, but increasingly party actors like Indiana legislators are balking. When they do — whether motivated by principle, self-interest, or spite — it’s not (just) Democrats who benefit. It’s the entire country and the Constitution."

ICYMI — “I identified myself as a U.S. citizen and a veteran, but that didn't matter. ICE Agents smashed my window, sprayed tear gas and pepper spray into my car, dragged me out… this experience violated the very principles I fought to defend.”

I hope people understand that if Trump gets his way America will soon be part of the global axis of evil if we aren't already. You see it in the Caribbean, you see it in Ukraine, and you see it with Trump trying to buddy up to Xi. We are a malevolent force.

Your grocery bills and expenses are lying to you, folks. Hassett will send you an email.

if i worked in a White House with an elderly and ailing president who had a hard time staying awake, i would simply recommend against having 3 hour cabinet meetings that are boring af and pointless and best remembered for the fact said president is sleeping on camera

Kelly: He runs around on stage talking about lethality and the warrior ethos.. That’s not the message that should be coming from the Secretary of Defense… He runs around on a stage like he’s a 12 year old playing army. It’s embarrassing.

From my home to yours.

Such an honorable man, that President we have.

A new feature on X revealed that many influential MAGA accounts are not actually based in the US. President Donald Trump has continued sharing their posts anyway. www.wired.com/story/trump-...

MIAMI — picking up on the open racism Trump has unleashed, racist lady blocks brown Americans from leaving a garage and tries to wait for ICE to get there

Mockler: I just think that Marjorie Taylor Greene style of divisive politics is directly downstream from how Donald Trump entered the political stage. He said that Obama wasn't born in America. Hillary should be locked up. His entire political rise was through divisiveness

Don Jr. and Eric watching the presser between Zohran Mamdani and their dad:

Crow: "It just tells us everything that we need to know that reminding people to obey the law, reminding people to obey the Constitution, is somehow criminal in Trumpworld and should be responded to with death threats. It's very, very telling."

TEN MONTHS IN: The national debt is higher. The trade deficit is wider. The inflation rate has worsened. The unemployment rate is up.

Insanity

If you knowingly engaged with a man who raped children, you should be held accountable. I do not care what letter is next to your name. I do not care how you vote. I do not fucking care. This is bigger than politics. This is about the survivors. This is about justice. The. End.

Kevin O'Leary petitions Trump to have name added to Epstein Files

I just don’t see how we can pretend even for a moment that anything involving our federal government is remotely normal when the president is covering up his involvement in a child sex trafficking ring. Like, what are we doing here

Poll shows more young women want to leave U.S. — their top destination is Canada

Oh, so he totally stole the money

Trump: "Nobody knows what a magnet is"

Bernie Sanders: "What this Senate is about to do is make a horrific situation even worse. So let's be clear what this vote is about. If this vote succeeds, over 20 million Americans are gonna see at least a doubling in their premiums in the ACA."

My main life goal from this day forward is to never ever be closer than 1000 miles away from this thing

Your cat when you're choking to death in your apartment

Q: Do you agree that Americans are paying those tariffs? TRUMP: They might be paying something

if Joe Biden said this during a speech Hannity would immediately start anchoring special coverage and the New York Times would fire up a live blog breaking down every syllable
