Gorsuch finally starting to understand what they have unleashed

What defines Republican politicians as traitors? The fact that as Trump shows he's mentally unfit and acts like a dictator, they enable his madness. He has a mysterious charisma charming dumb people and racists, and they don't. So they betray their country for a small slice of his money and power.

Yes, they’re using the shutdown to turn off SNAP benefits. No, they don’t have to.

In a shameful speech to U.S. service members on an aircraft carrier in Japan, Trump threatens to sic the military on fellow Americans back home – even using “Space Command” if he feels like it. This sick, traitorous person must be stopped.

What did people do before SNAP?” They died. Healthcare, vaccines, disability support, education & food assistance are vital to our survival. They’re why the average lifespan isn’t 35 anymore The mark of a good & decent society is whether it sees the value in helping others.

Every country has a powerful right wing that argue “if you tax the wealthy, they’ll leave” We need to start calling their bluff. We need to make it so the ultra wealthy either contribute enough to be a positive part of society, or be globally shunned and unable to extract further funds from us.

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

MAGA can tell me to “cry harder” all day long, but they know damn well they didn’t vote for ballrooms and breadlines. They know. They’re just too damn stubborn, stupid and scared to admit it.

It's going to be so amazing being alive in 2026 because the front page will say "BREAKING Mamdani Received Free Cheese Pizza From a Local Vendor, Calls to Resign Mount" and then on page 3 you'll see "Hegseth's Pentagon Rape Dungeon Raises Legal Questions."

a functional press would, every single day, repeatedly, across numerous paragraphs in every story about him, make it clear that this is indisputably the most corrupt President in U.S. history

Valuable reporting here. I think the key thing is the use of Venezuela to accustom American armed forces to lawless murder. The goal then is to get them to do the same thing inside the US. www.newyorker.com/news/the-led...

Once American democracy made it possible for a Black man to be elected president, American conservatives decided that it had to be destroyed

It's going up to $40 billion. USAID's budget last year was $28 billion.

I hope that somebody is figuring out a way to prevent Trump from immediately taking a picture with the released Israeli hostages smiling and giving his thumbs up. He is traveling to the Middle East for this purpose, make no mistake about the optics.

This man is being Gorilla Channel'd with a rotating selection of AI slop riot porn by several known white supremacists who are secretly running the government.

"We took the freedom of speech away," says the president

I co-wrote Trump’s first anti-terrorism plan in 2017-18. He’s not trying to stop “left-wing” terrorism. He is staging it. His troop deployments are a false flag — meant to provoke a response in order to justify harsh crackdowns. This is now very obvious.

Love this. Superbly done. Please send this far and wide. @donwinslow.bsky.social

Hmmm... weird.

History has many painful lessons.

From 1939-1945 German officers also listened to speeches from civilians about how the laws of war didn’t apply to them. And then they participated in the Holocaust, starved millions of prisoners of war, destroyed villages and cities, and were defeated.

I hope it's clear to everyone now that Trump really is going for it - he's trying to become a dictator. I don't know if he'll succeed, but he's working to install himself as an autocrat unaccountable to voters. And he's weaponizing the military against Americans who oppose him as part of that effort

Trump didn't write this... who's driving?

Pritzker: "One of the reasons Trump wants to send troops into cities is bc he wants to be able to take control of the 2026 elections...if they've got troops in cities, & it becomes a kind of norm for people, then it won't be abnormal for them when they're going to vote having troops at ballot boxes"

Trump: everyone in the US died from drugs last week Reporter: [nods] Trump: so we must murder on the high seas Reporter: [nods] Trump: I caught Trix rabbit once Reporter: [nods] Trump: the cock on that bunny Reporter: [nods] Trump: bigger than you think Headline: Trump Policy Seeks To Save Lives

Wow. Not at all surprising, but wow. Blatant corruption is perfectly fine (encouraged, even) in this administration.

THE HYPOCRISY IS THE POINT!!

LIEU: Is Donald Trump on Epstein's client list? PATEL: The index has been released LIEU: America, this is a huge red flag -- the FBI director could not answer whether Trump is on Epstein's client list

SWALWELL: Did you ever tell the AG that Trump's name is in the Epstein files PATEL: The AG and I have had numerous discussions about the entirety of the Epstein files S: Did you tell AG that Trump's name is in the files? P: *crashes out* S: We'll take your evasiveness as consciousness of guilt

‘My dearest I shall retrieve my weaponry from the wooded area, alas the investigators have cordoned off many acres, perchance have ye looked under my keyboard. There you shall find my full confession, but let me state it again here just in case…regretfully yours, assassin.’

We're well past the point where if it were a foreign country, US media correspondents would be reporting on it in a way that would get them detained and/or expelled by the regime. This makes it sounds like it's infrastructure week.

" Propaganda energizes its base and both persuades and intimidates the mushy middle. To think that authoritarian rule has a lot of support, that the dictator is inevitable, that he guarantees security and that he has popular support."

"Well I'm given to understand that for an extremely limited time, members of our nation's political violence party are shocked—shocked!—to learn that we currently live in a world of normalized political violence, and would like very much to know who is to blame." www.the-reframe.com/gambling-in-...

No one would be confused about what is happening here if they saw it in another country.

These farmers can't beg Trump to stop destroying their livelihoods with the tariffs, so they're just demanding a check.

The President of the United States is threatening to go to war with an American city. This is not a joke. This is not normal. Donald Trump isn't a strongman, he's a scared man. Illinois won’t be intimidated by a wannabe dictator.

Did reporters follow up w/Speaker Johnson when he said ‘Trump heard the rumor about Epstein and kicked him out of Mar a Lago’ and say that POTUS himself recently admitted it was over ‘the poaching’ of a teenage spa attendant, Virginia Giuffre? My guess is not, MSM is a failure.

We, and I’m sure we are not alone, will be filing a FOIA

J.B. Pritzker is 100% right. Please listen to him, pay attention, and join us in speaking out against authoritarianism and to protect free and fair elections.

I guess if you're in a major city in a blue state, you have to start thinking about how you're going to successfully vote with the actual military attempting to prevent you. Because that's why the military is being moved into cities right now. They're being pre-mobilized to prevent voting.

remember folks, we cant have gun restrictions because if we do the federal government will occupy our streets, imprison people without due process, ship dissidents to foreign gulags and things of that nature

We won’t notice it at first Maybe an outbreak of cholera in southwest Kansas goes undetected Perhaps the number of flu related deaths ticks up just a bit each year But-ultimately, inexorably-the destruction of the CDC will lead to countless deaths All because of two men Trump and RFK, Jr

The key to Trump’s authoritarian encroachments is pretext. He pairs some shockingly dictatorial move with an incredibly thin pretext everyone knows is false - fighting crime, concerned about fraud - and every public figure talking about the situation feels the need to debate the pretext.

Schiff on the release of the Ghislaine Maxwell transcript: "I don't think it will satisfy anyone. They go and they do this interview without the presence of a prosecutor who actually knows the facts, because they fired her. James Comey's daughter ... it all stinks to high heaven."

Bolton’s home raided, Gen. Kruse fired, Epstein coverup proceeds, seizure of 10% of Intel another step towards state capitalism. Just one day in the somewhat chaotic but directionally purposeful march towards…despotism. Does anyone think they’re doing all this so they can hand over power in 2028?

That was one of the most batshit press conferences of Trump's public life. He brandished a photo of Putin and promised to deploy the US military to occupy Chicago, New York, and San Francisco. A sane country would be moving toward impeachment and removal right now.

NEW -- All the adult supervision left, leaving Trump to go right back to making excuses and parroting the talking points of his great war criminal pal, Vladimir. It's Ukraine's fault they got invaded. It was disrespectful to ask to be in NATO. On and on. www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

Trump: "I want to try and get to heaven if possible. I hear I'm not doing well. I hear I'm really at the bottom of the totem pole."

Putin has always played Trump like a fiddle, going back to the Russian brothels in his NYC tower, his addiction to stimulants and his unbridled narcissism matched only by his sheer stupidity in geopolitical affairs. You are witnessing the harvesting of a decades long operation.
