“Assuming courts will save us absolves our political leaders of both responsibility and accountability for allowing this kind of mischief to continue, and it absolves all of us of our responsibility to refuse to tolerate those who would just as quickly shrug their shoulders and move on.” My latest:

“Never, never underestimate the willingness and ability of Donald Trump to send people who are unqualified, extreme loyalists into important jobs.” — Tom Nichols @radiofreetom.bsky.social

It is so effing boring to be hit with BS doomer posturing so regularly. Again: 1) Midterm elections matter 2) Presidential approval matters a lot in midterms 3) Public opinion matters b/c it tells us something about who we are 4) It's good that Trumpist populism is failing as a long term project!

Abrego García should apply for the “Anti-Weaponization Fund.” How many other people have a district court ruling actually *finding* vindictive prosecution?

"For all his supposed devotion to Western civilization, Gad Saad seems completely unaware that this civilization has a millennia-old tradition of treating charity—even charity at personal risk—as one of the highest virtues."

Proud Boy and adjudicated terrorist Enrique Tarrio tells @emptywheel.bsky.social “Just pay your taxes so I can enjoy your money. Get fucked, ho.”

I think @stevevladeck.bsky.social is absolutely right that the way to defeat the Terrorist Slush Fund is via politics. But I think you START impeachment w/Blanche. 25 GOP Senators spoke up (in private) yesterday. 25+47-Fetterman = 71. Better yet, INCLUDE the dismissal of the Sedition verdicts NOW.

The December 2025 National Defense Strategy, lead author "Taiwan must be the #1 Priority" USD(P) Elbridge Colby, argued for reducing our footprint in the Persian Gulf and for increasing our arms sales to Taiwan so they are better able to defend themselves with less US combat help.

Congress has endless profiles in cowardice. #BeAngryAmerica

Anyone with a modicum of common sense knows Trump is lying when he says a deal exists to end the war in Iran. #BeAngryAmerica

Thursday’s dismissals bring the DOJ’s record to 0-8 out of 31 lawsuits brought against states and Washington, D.C. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Of the 8 state voter file cases DOJ has lost, 4 were before judges appointed by Donald Trump.

Important stuff in today's @playbookdc.bsky.social from Irie Sentner: New poll commissioned by labor finds that the only class of immigrants that Americans want deported are violent criminals. Majorities oppose removing other classes and oppose just about all harsh tactics: politi.co/4dpYZ07

22 May 1937 | A Dutch Jewish girl, Mietje Frenk, was born in Rotterdam. In February 1943 she was deported to #Auschwitz with her parents Isidor and Elizabeth as well as her brother Aaron. They were all probably murdered in a gas chamber after the selection.

Of course they did…,(shaking head in disgust) #BeAngryAmerica

The consequences of this administration are going to be stark and terrible, if we're lucky, and so much worse if we're not

Trump has exposed how weak our system is. How can we come back from this? Phillips O'Brien on today's 'To the Contrary" Podcast.

Trump has shown the world that the US is a "paper tiger" and the Iran war could end up as a "catastrophic strategic defeat." Phillips O'Brien on today's 'To the Contrary" Podcast.

I've been an impeachment 3.0 skeptic, but I think there's a fair argument here that the slush fund is so bad it's worth pulling that trigger for

One can only hope….

The mainstream media fails America every day…. #BeAngryAmerica

If Mr. Miller enjoyed just a small measure of the justice he is owed, he'd be in a Salvadoran prison.

He promised to release his tax returns as soon as there were no more audits pending, and now there are no more audits pending.

Drama in House Judiciary Cmte Democrats moved to subpoena Todd Blanche over the Trump $1.7 billion slush fund Republicans had to buy time & scramble to get more Republicans into the room to narrowly defeat subpoena 18-to-17 Heavy lift for GOP to stop early battle over fund

#BeAngryAmerica Be furious. Contact your elected officials and tell them what you think. VOTE IN EVERY ELECTION. The evil Trump fascist MAGA GOP cult must be stopped.

NEW: I've filed a claim with Todd Blanche for compensation from the $1.776B slush fund for the unlawful investigation by the government into my podcast in August 2019. I'm seeking $8.647 million in compensation for weaponized lawfare - the equivalent of punitive damages, lost pay and retirement.

The “confidential investigation documents” that Patel evasively alludes to is Volume II of the Jack Smith report, per the indictment. It’s the only special counsel final report in US history that’s not been publicly released, as a result of Judge Cannon’s order at Trump’s urging.

So now we’ve gone from “make a deal and end the war or I’ll blow you to hell” to “please sign this letter to think about maybe ending the war in the next 30 days” How embarrassing.

Disturbing new video posted by Israeli Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir shows him taunting detained pro-Palestinian flotilla activists being held in horrifying conditions. In the footage, Ben-Gvir can be seen shouting at the handcuffed activists while appearing to gloat over their detention.

The U.S. military said Wednesday that it boarded an Iranian-flagged oil tanker in the Gulf of Oman that was suspected of trying to violate the American blockade, the latest action by the Trump administration to try to push Tehran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. https://to.pbs.org/3RoPQfI
