American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

Republicans wagered that they could torture Americans enough that Democrats would cave. And apparently they were correct. You know what that means, right? More torture is on the way.

This is an absolute travesty. They'd getting away with manslaughter.

A House of Dynamite sucks. There is no story. There's an idea for a story (typical for Netflix). If you watch the first 20 or so minutes, you've seen the whole thing. Don't waste your time.

The Briefing with Jen Psaki @briefingwithpsaki.bsky.social

You really have to admire the coordination. They had to get him re-elected, then gerrymander themselves enough extra seats that they won't lose even though they'll be tremendously unpopular, and in a way that would've previously been illegal except they also have the SC collaborating. What a coup.

It really is shocking how delusional she is. She's *terrified* and acts like America is two warring tribes. As if a "cultural threat", so to speak, is a literal physical threat. www.sashastone.com/p/no-kings-t...

Religion doesn't make good people do good things and doesn't make bad people do bad things, but religion does make good people do bad things.

Sometimes, there comes a moment that reveals the whole truth. For us, it was the hot mic: oligarchs whispering to each other what they’d never dare admit to us. That whisper is history’s verdict.

Wrote about how the governmental health agencies are headed by censorial individuals who spent years screaming falsely about how they were being censored when people just didn't want to promote the nonsense they were pushing. But now THEY are actually censoring critics.

Sane people - "Can we do anything about guns?" Republicans - "Absolutely not. It's a mental health issue." Sane people - "Ok, can we have better mental health systems?" Republicans - "Also no."

But.... that's.... literally..... socialism....?

The Independent has identified Eric Lendrum as the DHS PR officer responsible for a relentless flood of social media posts on DHS pages using Nazis memes, slogans and images. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

The Census Bureau is attempting to create a false narrative to drive public support for interest rate cuts.

I'm going to publish the entirety of an exchange I just had with the press office of the DOJ. I want you to see how they are talking about truth.

I just can’t believe our Reichstag Fire is the Big Balls Beatdown.

This officially began today.

We have a Mad King.

NEW: Police bodycam footage introduced at the trial of Jared Wise showed him berating police officers on Jan. 6, 2021, and yelling "kill 'em" as rioters attacked law enforcement. He’s now working as a senior adviser for the Department of Justice.

I hear people all around me saying, “They are going to crash the economy. Surely they don’t mean to crash the economy.” I beg to differ. This is curated failure open.substack.com/pub/jesspipe...

‘1984’ is upon us

This is the Republican party now. It's not a fringe group of radicals. It's the President, all of the cabinet members and advisors, and every Republican in Congress. This is the mainstream Republican Party. This is who they are, and everyone needs to understand the threat they represent.

The man predicted the future and he told you exactly how it was going to happen, too

REVEALED: we identified the operator of an overtly racist X account, "GlomarResponder," as ICE Assistant Chief Counsel James Rodden, based on an overwhelming number of biographical details matched through publicly available documents, other social media activity, and courtroom observation.

EXCLUSIVE: I have spoken with more people since my initial article on the review of the Epstein files and one thing is clear: more people had access to them because of the rushed nature of the review than previously thought. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/exclusive-...

The amazing thing about brave people speaking out is that it inspires others to do the same by creating a permission structure. Since I published this article 4 hours ago, I've heard from multiple sources confirming what's in it. www.muellershewrote.com/p/the-epstei...

Q: “What keeps you up at night?” JUSTICE KETANJI BROWN JACKSON: “The state of our democracy.” 🇺🇸 😕

Funny how much they hate socialism then literally do socialist things.

Just so you understand how corrupt the SCOTUS is, the USA ratified the Convention Against Torture (CAT) in 1994. That means that 2/3ds of the Senate voted in favor of the treaty. Article VI, Section 2 of the Constitution makes that treaty the same as any other federal law. The CAT forbids sending ..

School teachers have to struggle to get supplies for their classrooms and pay out of their own pockets to provide basic items and tools, meanwhile ICE that is of no value to society is given $140 billion of your tax dollars to terrorize school children and communities.

This seems bad.

The logic in Trump's birthright citizenship EO is equivalent to an EO saying "Individual gun ownership being legal is based on a misinterpretation of the 2nd amendment, so I'm outlawing it." Imagine the response on the right if that were the EO and the SC killed national injunctions against it.

Another reminder that Republicans are literally trying to kill us.

The Supreme Court just shattered this country into a patchwork of federal districts. We're no longer a united states bound by the same laws and Constitution. If there is another Civil War, this decision will be the main catalyst.

probably a good time to bring this back

Like everything he does, it was just very expensive bullshit.
