So he went from "Nobody should be taking health advice from me" to "I can see pediatric mitochondrial challenges with my eyes"

Not a physician. Not a scientist. Not any kind of medical professional. But he’s in charge of public health and running his mouth about being able to eyeball “mitochondrial challenges.” We’re led solely by the cruel, the grifters, and the lowest common denominators.

"When the Wall Street Journal says that it warned readers of the risks Trump II, that is technically true but substantively false. The reality is that the WSJ ... minimized his dangers as a way of laundering a vote for him." www.thebulwark.com/p/the-three-...

Same with NRO and just about every righty outlet purporting to be respectable.

The Framers made arguably one major mistake: They believed the legislative branch would jealously guard its power. They could not have fathomed that the legislative branch (Out of laziness, raw partisanship and a desire to keep their sinecures) would willingly surrender its power.

Nothing is disqualifying. Nothing is impeachable. Nothing is unconstitutional.

Hey @danielsilvabooks.bsky.social you’re wonderful but you should have attributed the entire Becciu subplot in An Inside Job to Ed Condon, without whom NO ONE would ever have known about his financial crimes, starting with the London real estate deal. Give The Pillar the credit!!!

It was never about cancel culture. It's about revenge.

"At this point, women have been cleared out of all of the military’s top jobs." www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/...

This is definitely better than curing cancer and alzheimer's and multiple sclerosis and long covid and inflammatory bowel disease and sickle cell and parkinson's and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and lupus and endometriosis and cystic fibrosis and spinal muscular atrophy and rheumatoid arthritis

The Epstein story’s power is paralyzing House Republicans, many of whom are or were longtime proponents of conspiracy theories surrounding the circumstances of the disgraced financier’s crimes and death.

So incredibly disturbing. So very unsurprising.

ICE will have a budget greater than the Ukrainian armed forces in 2024. Let me repeat that. The Republicans are willing to pay more than entire military budget of the Ukrainians to round up people into camps and deport them into a Gulag. ICE would be the 8th most well funded military on Earth.

it was pretty, pretty cool to see my teenager pitch on my dad’s home field today at Yogi Berra Stadium 🥹 (my dad was their first ever All American athlete in 1966!)

LOL.

Rubio on CBS: "This wasn't a regime change move." Vance on ABC: "Well, first of all, we don't want to achieve regime change." Vance on NBC: "our view has been very clear that we don't want a regime change." Trump, not waiting even 24 hours to undercut and humiliate them:

In the spirit of "do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good," want to help alleviate the suffering of a pregnant woman in an excruciating situation? Husband left her. Demanded abortion. She's due next month. Let's SHOWER her and her baby with love and welcome. 👇

NEW: Pope Leo’s newly appointed Bishop, Michael Pham, outside the court in San Diego: “We need to speak up for the voiceless in our society - and we will.” The video then shows masked ICE agents leaving without snatching anyone today. More of this resistance nationwide! 👏 (🎥 PSL San Diego)

Oh good, finally an update with some info about the war he’s getting us into.

It’s always fun when the “anti government paranoia” switch gets flipped to the “actually we love our armed agents of the state, don’t we folks” side

Fucking hell: “Minnesota state senator John Hoffman in Champlin and Minnesota state representative Melissa Hortman in Brooklyn Park were reportedly shot in their homes by a gunman impersonating a police officer.”

George Orwell wrote in 1941:

You're right Pete. Congress has determined it, and they've determined that the military can't be used for domestic law enforcement. The judges are just applying that law.

The legal finding that Trump abused his authority as commander-in-chief comes as he prepares to host a massive and controversial military parade in Washington to mark the Army's 250th birthday. www.politico.com/news/2025/06...

Trump on February 5.

I'm not a subscriber to the Free Press, but I wonder if they've added a correction?

Do your thing mother nature.

thank you @sarahlongwell25.bsky.social 😍

Florida child welfare officers found a 17-year-old living in a shed with no food or water. They sent him to a foster home... and then reported him to ICE, whereupon he was handcuffed and shackled and marched to detention. Not only is that victimizing him again, it violates Florida's own rules.

🤷🏼‍♀️

Entire CDC staff that oversaw an annual survey to better understand infant & maternal health was axed. For 3+ decades, Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System, or PRAMS, surveyed moms pre/postpartum & has been used by researchers to study US’s disproportionately high maternal mortality rates

YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO BE MEAN TO TRUMP DURING HIS OVERCOMPENSATION MILITARY PARADE. Some tough guy.

In this speech, you can hear and see troops cheering when Trump talks about his election and booing when he talks about Joe Biden, the governor of California, and the mayor of L.A. This sends a message that many members of our armed forces view half of our people as their opponents. It's chilling.

@hollybfletcher.bsky.social!!!!!!

Martial law without a legal declaration. Just grab Marines and do what you want with them. This is why Trump appointed Hegseth.

"Nobody’s going to spit on our police officers," says Trump, who four months ago pardoned people who beat police officers with pipes, flagpoles, baseball bats and 2-by-4s at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.

@jvl.bsky.social is trying to kill me. open.substack.com/pub/thebulwa...

Say what you will about the Seventh Party system, it has given us sights like an entirely correct Bill Kristol telling a Republican president “Of course the troops weren’t going to be greeted as liberators, you stupid fuck.”

Governor Newsom: "I have formally requested the Trump Administration rescind their unlawful deployment of troops ... and return them to my command. ... This is a serious breach of state sovereignty — inflaming tensions while pulling resources from where they’re actually needed." The letter:

Both

I also live in LA, the President is full of shit.

Los Angeles is not a war zone. The media keeps cropping the same damn photo to make it look like it is. There are plenty of live feeds going on right now that verify what is actually happening on the ground in real time. Nothing. The only unrest is coming from Trump & his thugs.

“Be warned: Trump is expecting resistance. You will not be heroes. You will be the pretext,” writes @radiofreetom.bsky.social:

Make it happen. bulwark.myspreadshop.com/taco+hat-A68...

Straight up USSR and NoRK shit.

Trump won. In two weeks he will have broken the richest man in the world and staged a military parade through the nation’s capital. His policy agenda isn’t doing great. But his consolidation of power is progressing.

The president exists in a dystopian fantasy world with no connection to reality

Great job America

Sure, but also every single person in right wing media should be mocked and shunned and remembered for assuring those of us who warned this was inevitable that we were irrelevant alarmists
