on set. what about YOU?

"Trump bad" is not the story. The story is that every Republican administration for the last 50 fucking years has been a corrupt disaster and Democrats keep having to clean up after them. This narrative is obvious in the numbers, in the history, but voters don't know it because Dems won't tell it.

Why the hell did a military contractor build a secluded residence in the New Mexico desert? The construction company is not known for constructing private homes, yet it did so for Jeffrey Epstein. trib.al/JwuZAAg

Now, @notus.com is reporting the Trump administration will take over the golf course today. I have to wonder if public access for to Hains Point and a century of other public uses is about to end. www.notus.org/trump-white-...

Hains Point is a national treasure & a beloved civic space for hundreds of thousands of Americans who live in DC. The community golf course & surrounding parklands need maintenance, but not at cost of permanent loss of public access for all public uses. www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2026/...

Remember how with Biden everyone was, “He’s so old and confused we don’t know who’s running the country!” At least we don’t have that with Trump. Everyone knows it’s Stephen Miller.

Trump says anyone running for president should take a cognitive exam because you could end being stuck with a moron for years. “I mean, you get a guy who gets in there, he's got a good line of crap. He gets in and all of a sudden you're stuck with a man who's a moron”

We amended the Constitution so the people instead of state legislatures elect senators because the old system resulted in corruption and dysfunction, and now we have a system where state legislatures functionally decide the composition of their House delegations before a single vote is cast.

Took a video of this cool shell formation on my beach walk. If all of you repost it as many times as you can maybe some journalists will see it and do something about it

I keep thinking about the ease with which they cancelled elections over the last 24 hours

once again, it is great that the president is a klan-level racist

What is happening in Louisiana right now is both a redistricting power grab and a dry run for authoritarian election subversion this Fall. The governor has declared a state of emergency to suspend the congressional elections because he doesn't like the current map.

How is this being treated as normal? A Republican governor is declaring a state of emergency to cancel n ongoing election for Congress. If you think this is ends with redistricting, you are not paying attention.

Trump sons take stake in Kazakh miner that won $1.6bn US contract ft.trib.al/lSilTYx

Has the Supreme Court ever previously struck down all or part of a duly-passed, constitutional law on the grounds that Justices feel like the law achieved its goals and feel like the goal would stay achieved without the law so therefore it shouldn’t be in force anymore? Because that’s legislative.

The ballroom, the arch… I have a PhD in Egyptology and I know a mortuary temple complex when I see one.

“Thank you again. Thank you again. Won’t forget it,” Trump says while shaking the hand of Supreme Court Justice John Roberts after the State of the Union.

LBJ signs Voting Rights Act, US Capitol Rotunda, 1965.

Trump seems super excited to hang with King Charles, but I guess it Depends.

The gift King Charles has given Trump with this State Dinner is almost immeasurable, in his mind he’s now on par with royalty, which in his narcissistic delusions he has always desired. It will make the job of saving our democracy that much harder. Smart speeches aside. Bad move.

The Voting Rights Act is essentially dead and it’s quite possible that we will, like when a similar SCOTUS gutted civil rights at the fall of Reconstruction, see a disappearance of much of the Black congressional representation, especially in the most heavily Black states, which are in the South.

Yes, it does.

This is just brutal

Two kings with their mistresses.

Trump's tux is not exactly flattering to his figure.

This is the pissant going up against Jim Comey and his legal team.

Trump: I’m not a king. Official White House account:

“Their veins ran with Anglo-Saxon courage” is some serious Madison Grant/Lothrop Stoddard stuff, straight up 1920s Klan/eugenicist language.

This is how the United States Department of Justice writes now.

Whatever assholes.

Let me get this straight: Bari Weiss has radically edited the new Trump interview on 60 Minutes? Let's not forget that Weiss lost her mind over standard editing of a Kamala Harris interview in 2024. But as Juliet shows, this Trump editing goes way beyond standard broadcast practices. Good grief.

Karoline Leavitt: "The entire Democrat Party has made their case. Trump is a fascist, they compare him to Hitler." Strange Karoline, even outside of the US we all see him as a fascist and we are not even Democrats. Also is he more comparable to Mussolini then?

Most Memorable Quotes in Presidential History:

I know normalization is just what we've decided to do to cope but turning a botched assassination attempt on the president of the united states into a public debate on gilded playspace is FUCKING STUPID and I refuse to treat this bullshit pivot seriously or with respect.

This kind of stuff will make all of us go insane. Nobody was discussing any ballroom until Trump tore down the East Wing last year. And this was not an argument for the ballroom until literally hours ago. But now we're supposed to pretend like the WHCA incident settles some longstanding debate?

Ball room is a bipartisan preoccupation, as we know from recordings of LBJ's calls to his tailor

In one year alone, Elon Musk was responsible for an estimated 700,000 deaths due to USAID cuts. www.wired.com/story/usaid-...

It's not hyperbole in the least to say Musk purchased a six-month shadow presidency for $280 million and used the power of that shadow presidency to 1. Steal the government’s data, 2. Permanently damage the state’s ability to regulate his businesses, and 3, kill non-white people.

For Trump "Low IQ" is the new N-word.

Yet again I remind everyone (as Elizabeth does in her very next tweet) that "foreigners are corrupting our pure blood with weakness & disease" is Fascism 101. Not some variant, not some metaphorically similar thing, not some echo -- the thing itself.

RFK Jr. just said HHS is "cleaning up the risk pool" (i.e., people who are unhealthy) to bring down healthcare costs.

Warsh may be a reasonable guy and capable economist just playing a role here. But if integrity and independence are qualities we value in a Fed Chief, he does not have them. Every nominee who dodges this question tells us that they have no meaningful commitment to American democracy.
