things every single republican president of your lifetime has done - started a war in the middle east - completely destroyed the economy

JUST A REMINDER THAT WHEN HE SAID THIS, HE FUCKING LIED!!! The Commander in Chief lied to America, enabled by elected Republicans. This will not remove EPSTEIN or the possible rape of a 13 year old girl from the news.

If you’re an American service member who gets killed in a retaliatory strike, your family can take comfort in the fact that it was done in service of making the host of Celebrity Apprentice feel like a big man for a minute, before he moved on to something else and forgets about this forever

Pro Trump, Pro Netanyahu fanatics Larry and David Ellison will most likely now control Paramount, CBS, CNN, HBO, Warner Bros, and TikTok

The only real question of the evening is: will legacy news orgs call Trump out for this insanely corrosive stuff or will they get in front of camera & pretend that this deeply unwell, deteriorating man talking about how Dems are the enemy of the country is just run of the mill political discourse

Well, the DOJ has done it: they have filed a lawsuit against the University of California over antisemitism. The complaint contains some falsehoods. But as someone who teaches and writes about Title VII, I'm equally struck by what the complaint doesn't say. A few thoughts— 🧵

"The woman who directly named Trump in her abuse allegation claimed that around 1983, when she was around 13 yrs old, Epstein introduced her to Trump who subsequently forced her head down to his exposed penis which she subsequently bit. In response, Trump punched her in the head and kicked her out."

The violence in Mexico is fueled by U.S. guns and money. Killing a cartel boss won’t change that.

Live Nation paid ZERO federal income tax last year largely due to Trump's tax cuts, despite reporting $145M in profits. It's also on the verge of scoring a sweetheart deal from Trump's DOJ to end a major antitrust investigation. Trump works on behalf of the most powerful corporations. Not you.

RFK Jr explains why he’s a fraud.

More lawless slaughter at sea by the Trump administration under the specious guise of counterterrorism. Fake counterterrorism. Make believe armed conflict. Real killing.

It is shocking how quickly one of the biggest benefits of U.S. higher education, the ability to recruit the best students from around the world, is eroding.

"You get out your 'Fascism for Dummies' book for the 15 things you do, and we tried to include as many of them as we could in the most artful way possible. How were we supposed to know that this clown car in Washington was going to basically use the same book that we used?" #Andor #StarWars

Key issue to bear in mind as you watch today's political response to the Supreme Court tariff decision: The Court didn't say that the US can't issue tariffs, simply that the President has to convince (the Republican-controlled) Congress first. If tariffs are great, that should be easy to do.

The supreme court has issued a sharp rebuke against the Trump administration and ruled against the legality of the president’s sweeping global tariffs. Follow along with our live coverage:

Bolsonaro in prison, Yeon sentenced to prison, Andrew arrested on his birthday...and America still holding on to a 34 count felon as President.

It is notable that Andrew has been arrested for "misconduct in public office", which is precisely what the US Supreme Court decided no American president can ever be charged with.

Authoritarians, strongmen and dictators: who is on Trump’s Board of Peace?

In this entire piece there is not a hint of even a semblance of a legal argument for how a war of this scale would be legal or authorized. There is quite simply no legal or constitutional authority for Trump to launch a war of choice against Iran. None. Zero. Nothing.

MAHA “accomplishments” as we approach the SOTU: -Saunas back! -Acid rain, back! -Smog year round: back! -Measles, back! -24million + with no healthcare, back! -Promising new cancer treatments? Gone! -The best and brightest next gen science talent? Gone! Let the spin begin!

A dozen is good but too few. If you are an elected Democrat in congress, there are 2 ways to engage with the SOTU with integrity: 1) Don't go. 2) Go and get kicked out, Al Green style. Everything else is wimpy.

The regime is now dictating what political views are acceptable to air on television and paramount/cbs are collaborating in that censorship bsky.app/profile/ditz...

Trump administration drops appeal of court order blocking $1.2-billion UCLA settlement www.latimes.com/california/s...

The president is overruling science to eliminate measures that protect us from pollution and environmental damage, mainly to benefit multinational corporations that have thrown money at his campaign, ballroom, and family. It's simple corruption, and it will cost American lives and livelihoods.

I see no reason not to look at the online gambling and prediction market craze as a new opioids crisis. It will wreak havoc on lower-income Americans and leave a trail of destruction and despair in its wake. The companies are just Purdue Pharma 2.0 www.liberalcurrents.com/from-pill-mi...

Many social media posts by Tesla CEO on his platform are indiscernible from those of white supremacists, say experts

I'm a Gallup pollster. You can contact them at [email protected] to let them know what you think of this.

There is one area where Republicans consistently outperform Democrats. No, it's not the economy. It's lying. Republicans somehow convince most Americans to believe that Republicans are "better for the economy." Here's a graph of how many jobs the economy added during each Administration.

She really just said why are you talking about the mass coverup of child rape when you should be talking about money

“LESS THAN 14%” They have been lying all along www.cbsnews.com/news/ice-arr...

"Trump refuses to apologize" is the inevitable headline that follows every misdeed. Apologizing requires a measure of integrity, self-awareness and, yes, confidence. Deep down, this man knows he's a shitpiece. He's terrified that if he's seen admitting an error, he's exposed...

“It brings up mixed emotions to represent 🇺🇸 right now… there’s obviously a lot of things going on I’m not the biggest fan of.” #Olympics2026 #TrumpsAmerica

NEWS: The Supreme Court declined to intervene in California’s redistricting maps, which could net Democrats up to five additional congressional seats. A big win for CA Gov. Gavin Newsom.

Masked thugs on the streets. Measles outbreaks across the nation. Blatant government corruption. Coverup of group of elite sex offenders. Ruling party trying to rig elections. Leader building grandiose monuments to himself. Collapse of remnants of nonpartisan civil service. Third world America.

Trump turned the Kennedy Center into a political vanity project, chased away world-class artists, cut attendance in half, and now wants to shut it down for two years with no clear plan, no transparency, and no accountability.

Don Lemon speaks outside of the courtroom after release: "I have spent my entire life covering the news. I will not stop now ... I will not be silenced."

New survey from Pew 🧵 Trump's approval is down to 37. He's 24 points underwater. Only 27% of Americans support most/all of Trump's policies. By two-to-one margins, Americans say the Trump administration has made their life worse, not better.

The full force of OUR government has been turned against all of us. We are no longer being supported by this government. This is happening while the EPSTEIN files have not been released & Trump is suing every American for $10,000,000,000. EVERY ELECTED ENABLER IN CONGRESS IS RESPONSIBLE!

Don Lemon will likely be ok, but this is about cowing every newsroom leader and every journalist in this country into submission. Because our job, at a fundamental level, is to hold power to account and tell the stories our government doesn't want us to tell.

New album ATTITUDE ADJUSTMENT is out today! cherryred.co/AttitudeAdju...

Right. And it’s only about the third-most horrible thing that happened today.

Of the biggest scandals in US history just this week, I think I’d rank them: 1) Federal paramilitaries invade US city based on racist lies, murder US citizens 2) Slush fund for the president from stolen foreign resources held in Qatar 3) Whatever FBI and DNI are doing re: 2020 election in Georgia

“Everyone should be allowed to carry a gun for their safety but the government can murder you in the street if you have a gun” is an incredible endpoint for the conservative moment

A post-by-post dissection of the Nazi and neo-Nazi tropes used in U.S. government social media accounts. By @alibreland.bsky.social in @theatlantic.com.

Trump’s polls are in the toilet, he was a laughingstock at Davos, forced to surrender on Greenland, nobody wanted to join his Bored of Peace club, late-night comics are picking on him, Gavin is stalking him, Melania sleeps in a separate house, & nobody will give him real prizes.

RFK Jr. appointee Kirk Milhoan has just clearly stated, out loud, that he wants to experiment on the people of the United States by seeing what happens as vaccination coverage plummets and infectious diseases spread.
