🔥🔥🔥 DO NOT BE DISTRACTED & STAY LOUD DONALD TRUMP IS GOING DOWN TRUMP & EPSTEIN ARE SEX TRAFFICKERS & I’m gonna post this every day so nobody forgets exactly who Pedophile Trump is and why the Epstein files have suddenly disappeared 🔥🔥🔥

I recognize that’s a very old fashioned question to be asking, but it would be good if we could live in a world where misconduct by people in positions of authority had consequences.

This. Voters wanted stupid, just as long as it’s wearing whiteface.

Right, simply entertaining this challenge as if it's remotely legitimate is already discrediting. If there's a single vote to end birthright citizenship, we need to take this Supreme Court apart with sledgehammers and start over.

It was called the Iran nuclear deal. You threw it out because it was negotiated by a black president.

The quality of Tesla's earnings in 2025 was its worst (blue = real profits, red = regulatory credits): 85% of operating profit came from taxpayers (regulatory credits), 80% of which Americans provided. #$TSLA

Many people don't vote on policies. They vote on things they saw on TV or the internet. They'll never admit to this, but we can see in their issue preferences. 51% of Trump's 2024 supporters backed Harris's actual positions. 67% of registered voters did. yougov.com/en-us/articl...

Spotted at a No Kings protest in Durham, North Carolina! Epic creativity!

That's why conservatives are spending hundreds of millions of dollars trying to convince young women to forgo college and a job to have babies and clean up after their shitty closeted husbands

#FAFO The simplest and most likely explanation is that you're just stupid and insufferable. But I'm glad she's unhappy.

probably the most depressing thing I’ll read this week

Where has all the money gone? Well, the government gave it to rich people. How do we get it back? Well, the government can take it back from those rich people.

Almost all of that national debt is because of tax cuts for the rich. Talking points like this often get circulated by deficit scolds (not including Catherine in this group) as they push to cut spending on social services... but really we just need to raise taxes.

According to the Cato Institute, The Trump administration is reportedly receiving millions of immigration applications, pocketing the hefty fees, and never processing the applications. It’s collected over $1 billion in fees so far. Where is the outcry over this fraud and abuse?

🇺🇸🇺🇦 What used to remain unspoken (though widely understood) is now becoming increasingly clear: the U.S. is beginning to put direct pressure on Ukraine, while still lacking any real leverage over Putin and his regime.

“The special counsel’s office found that Donald Trump held on to documents so secret that only six people could legally review them — and the team believed his reason for doing so was financial gain.” www.ms.now/news/trump-c...

By the way, the S&P 500 e-Mini trades through the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, and accordingly @jbpritzker.bsky.social and @kwameraoul.bsky.social might want to investigate the anomalous lucrative trading of that security from 6:49-6:50am on Monday, March 23, 2026. Just a thought.

The $580 million short oil bet was the smaller of the two insider trades. The larger one, placed at the exact same time (6:49-6:50am), was between $1.4-$1.9 billion to go long S&P 500 e-Mini futures. Over $2 billion in Trump traitor trades, all wildly profitable 15 minutes later after Trump's post.

On the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States, we ought to remember that this country’s original sin has plagued us from the very beginning. There is a direct through line from the three-fifths compromise to southern secession and further still to modern-day reactionary politics.

37 indictments, plus: Trump associates repeatedly lied about their contacts with Russians. Trump refused to answer questions about his obstruction. A statement signed by over 1,000 former federal prosecutors, that anyone else who engaged in that obstructive conduct would have been indicted.

Much of reactionary politics today is best understood as a Confederate restoration project.

Your regular reminder that the most serious problem with SCOTUS & the Wizards In Robes - the thing that underlies all of the hackish partisanship & Federalist Society parlor games & burning of entrails - is that they completely disregard data, empirical evidence, & the actual history of the 🇺🇸.

the republican justices are as pickled in MAGA slop as any pardoned jan 6er

Whoever appointed Joe Kent to a high-level extremely sensitive national security position in the Trump administration must be a fucking idiot, right Mr. President?

Right now, Trump in a press gaggle again said that if he had not launched his war on Iran, Tehran would have a nuclear bomb within two weeks to a month. That is a big lie. And none of the reporters so far are calling him on it.

The real story… under any other president this would be jail time…

New, from me: The federal government is required to track job satisfaction among its employees. The Trump admin stopped collecting the data, so a nonprofit stepped in. The results show that a collapse in morale and zero trust in Trump agency leaders. 🧵 donmoynihan.substack.com/p/federal-em...

The US military industrial base cannot surge production because it relies on sulfuric acid which comes through... wait for it... the Gulf: mwi.westpoint.edu/the-chokepoi...

Read between the lines: they won’t raise taxes on the RICH to fund the war.

Donald Trump is focused on gold coins bearing his own face and his gilded ballroom. Meanwhile, you’re focused on paying the rising costs of gas and groceries. Make it make sense.

One reason the 14th amendment was supposed to prohibit insurrectionists from holding federal office was that if they did so, they’d tend to try to use that office to pardon or otherwise absolve of guilt other insurrectionists.

The fact that they have LITERAL Nazis running won't matter. The fact that they have LITERAL CONCENTRATION CAMPS won't matter. The fact that they have LITERAL SECRET POLICE won't matter. The media will bothsides to death every Dem on the ballot from top to bottom over this.

Eek

The Trump Administration's violence and corruption is impossible to ignore. I created the nation’s first Accountability Commission to gather the evidence of wrongdoing in Illinois by ICE so we can hold them criminally and civilly liable.

However much John Roberts cloaks him in unaccountability, doing this remains a very serious federal crime and stories about it should say so.

For our latest print issue, I wrote about what accountability could look like for Trump and his administration after his second term ends in 2029:

Just a year ago, we heard reducing the deficit was so important Elon Musk had to fire as many scientists, forest rangers and Black women on the government’s payroll that he could find. Now? 🤷🏾‍♂️

Imagine if the dumbest person in the world and humanity’s biggest asshole were the same person, and that guy was president. Then imagine he started a war with Iran. Now check the news. One look, and here’s what you should be thinking: “Yep, that tracks.” trib.al/Pp3EL08

The Markwayne Mullin vote in the Senate was a chance for Congress to show it would take Trump’s cabinet picks seriously. They didn’t. We are where we are, in part, because Congress keeps confirming deeply unqualified people to run this country. These failures should be remembered

These contractors are private prison operators and Trump donors. They are not babes in the wood. But even they thought Lewandowski's asks were too corrupt. He made a big deal about being an unpaid Special Government Employee because just like Trump, he understood salaries were for suckers.

Happy to share my latest article for the good folks @newrepublic.com, where I tackle recent shakeups in American journalism and highlight my ongoing teaching on the history of American journalism and the rise of disinformation. newrepublic.com/article/2075...

In case you haven't seen it yet, there's solid data showing that politicians accused of crimes against children are far more likely to be Republicans. Earlier thread: bsky.app/profile/matt...

He would and he will. Don't worry, we'll make sure to hold you accountable.

Phillips is completely right here. It is absurd to repeat an obviously false framing. And it is harmful, because once stated in the NYT it becomes credible.

🩸🩸🩸 I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what the 34x POS convicted felon who incites political violence, adjudicated rapist & pedophile Trump did on J6 🩸🩸🩸 THIS IS WHAT AN INSURRECTION LOOKS LIKE ⬇️⬇️⬇️

TBH Dems should make it clear that taking this deal will be grounds for Total to never get a U.S.-based project approved.
