Another line crossed.

Governor Whitmer was almost kidnapped by armed thugs. Governor Shapiro‘s house was set on fire. Nancy Pelosi‘s husband was violently attacked by someone looking for her. Melissa Hortman was assassinated in her home with her husband and dog…and now this. The left is the victim, not the perpetrator.

Every Democrat at every level of office must denounce this madness Monday morning. Has to be huge outcry. We need to be incredibly loud.

wrote this line yesterday: "If President Trump were, in other words, trying to instigate some kind of national divorce, it is hard to imagine what he would be doing differently than this."

Deplorable. Once upon a time, if a president had use a speech to a military academy for partisan purposes, it would be considered a disgrace by both parties.

We must now start calling this what it is: Trump’s Invasion. It started with federal agents, it will soon include deploying federalized members of the Illinois National Guard against our wishes, and it will now involve sending in another state’s military troops.

This evening, President Trump is ordering 400 members of the Texas National Guard for deployments to Illinois, Oregon, and other locations within the United States. No officials from the federal government called me directly to discuss or coordinate.

Kamala was right about everything - and our media failed us spectacularly. #ResistTrump

There’s an essay to be written about how maga patriotism is just shitty fandom. Anyone who follows sports knows fans like this, it’s always the ref’s fault, the other team doesn’t exist, there’s some plot/player/coach holding the team back otherwise they’d always win easy bsky.app/profile/atru...

🚨🚨🚨Judge Diane Goldstein of South Carolina was targeted by the Trump admin for carrying out justice according to the law. Because of this, her house was blown up, her husband is in the hospital, and the domestic terrorism continues. 1/2

No one is covering the GOP's scheme to rig congressional maps for 2026 as closely as Democracy Docket. It is providing gavel to gavel coverage of the ongoing hearing over whether the Texas gerrymander will be in place for the midterms. Support its work by subscribing now. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

Trump oversaw the Afghanistan war for four years. I guess it was so unimportant to him that he forgot this.

I mean, is there any newspaper that is less trusted today vs a year ago? Does anyone think their coverage is "riveting"? He can't actually believe this, right?

I read @oliverdarcy.bsky.social's interview with WaPo's Matt Murray and I cannot believe he uttered these words: We’ve made great progress on an ambitious plan to reinvent The Post as the most trusted, accurate news organization in the world, with riveting and relevant information for all Americans.

Elon Musk and Stephen Miller both tweeted against judges today. A South Carolina judge's house burned down and almost killed her family.

Sure to NOT produce any media hand wringing. Nope, constant attacks on the folks on the left ARE NOT the result of a President calling us scum and terrorists, or any other violent rhetoric from the right. All is nominal.

📽️ VIDEO: Republicans who resisted Donald Trump after years of enabling him are not heroes and do not deserve credit. Marc Elias emphasizes that framing them as such ultimately serves Trump's agenda. Watch below👇 https://bit.ly/48aleVG

It is no coincidence that Trump, Hegseth, Miller, Noem and other members of the admin continue to make inflammatory partisan political speeches to military and law enforcement. They are conditioning them now to embrace the planned war to come - their war against other Americans.

This bad. Also Elon Musk has been attacking judges.

Corporate media takes to a fainting couch any time any Democrat - or even any plausibly left-leaning poster on social media - says anything untoward about Republicans' character, but this kind of genocidal language toward Dems has been bog standard on right-wing media for decades now.

The punditry around 2028 is really starting to irk me. Not only should the conversation be focused on the midterms, but there is by no means consensus that the nominee should be a white man. We have a ton of talent — many of it female, black, brown, or queer. They shouldn’t not be discounted.

This has been a rough weekend. It feels pivotal somehow although I've felt that way so many times now that I suspect it's really just another step in the long, horrible Bataan Death March of a 2nd Trump term. I understand why people are just refusing to pay attention. But it won't spare them.

Nobody cares and nothing will happen but this is classically, paradigmatically fascist language. Comparing opponents to vermin and pests is straight out of the textbook.

Fascism occurs twice: first as the tragedy of a Second World War started by men who fought the First and knowingly chose slaughter, then as the farce of an ignorant draft dodger trying to provoke a war against his own people.

SOUTH CAROLINA… “Judge Goodstein was walking on the beach when the fire started. Her husband, Arnie, was in the house with children and perhaps grandchildren. The family had to escape by jumping from a window or balcony...” www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article...

Trump will help pedophiles like Ghislaine Maxwell, not release the Epstein Files, and pardon violent insurrectionists, but he'll unleash ICE to terrorize innocent Americans. Priorities.

I don’t mean to overreact or anything, but this is the commander-in-chief telling military personnel that Democrats are a problem to be dealt with.

So @nytimes.com doesn't have reporters that can look into this instead relies on Pritzker to do the work for them? And they make it seem like a partisan statement with this headline when there's plenty of video proof that's what they are doing! Just pathetic reporting. cc @froomkin.bsky.social

The government does not have the power to declare “free speech zones.” And the violent arrest of the rabbi should set off some alarm bells.

Gosh, I feel so safe now that Daddy's home. It's especially great to see the military cheering him on. Wonderful.

The GOP will claim that political violence is a result of “democratic rhetoric” such as describing the administration’s actions as fascist, while the president tells the military that they half to “take care of” the democrats.

Seems like the president signaling his intent to use the military against democrats should be a bigger deal, or are we still pretending this isn’t happening

World... trump is telling our military that "we" have to "take care of" his political opponents. He's directing the military to go after Americans who don't agree with him.

I probably don't have to point out that yhe fact that the response to this is laughter and applause is not great.

I’m just tired of this shit

Trump keeps declaring war on Democrats.

The media trots out the "deplorable" comment from a decade ago to castigate the left. Once a week now Trump implies that the military should destroy democrats, and it is just how things are.

Keep taking videos of what ICE is doing. @govpritzker.illinois.gov is right, document what’s happening. This is why they hate journalists so much.

(2/2) No doubt history will speak to the MAGA cult; how easily they were gaslit; embraced the most flawed cult leader ever; rallied around grievance; railed against their own interest; fell for an obvious con. But the unforeseen disaster - the biggie - is the media's wide normalization of a madman.

(1/2) It's quite a phenomenon that a 79-year-old man struggling with speech and gait, can tell an audience that prices are down when they're up, that tariffs make other countries pay which they don't, that he has solved wars he hasn't, over and over again, and it gets reported as sane utterances.

And yeah, man, that’s the history of Vietnam for sure. We were much too woke and politically correct and limited in our approach

Again, if you think the creation of the Department of Defense in 1947 had anything to do with “woke” politics you should not be allowed to operate a car much less the entire American military.

Biden had a stutter, though, and Harris had a piercing laugh

"The mistake that Jonathan Greenblatt made was believing that a hundred annoying students at Columbia were more dangerous than a gangster government."

Gov. Pritzker: "[ICE] killed an unarmed person just a couple of weeks ago in Franklin Park...They killed somebody...They are just putting out their propaganda and then we've gotta later determine what actually happened."

Pritzker: “Instead of going after the bad guys, they’re picking up people who are brown and Black.” Supreme Court: “This is fine.”

Gavin Newsom with the receipts!
