On the Today show, NBC's legal analyst referred to the DOJ as "Trump's Justice Department." Of course she knows better, but this does show how much the political corruption has been normalized and accepted.

it's time for journos to start asking Johnson meta questions "Speaker, on 5 occasions last week you said 'I haven't seen it' when asked about news events w/big implications for public policy. Do you ever read the news, and do you agree it's problematic for the Speaker to be so woefully uninformed?"

MAGAs sheer desperation.

Imagine future generations of school kids memorizing a Trump speech as if it were the Gettysburg Address. Or listening to recordings of him as people still do with FDR's fireside chats.

Who can stop this madness? Congress where are you?

NY Times Feb 4, 1939

I just saw a comment that said "I don't support what happened to Charlie, but Charlie supported what happened to Charlie." THAT ... that's what I've been trying to put into words.

We have a bit of a natural experiment here. Compare the tone, quantity and duration of Charlie Kirk coverage with that of the two Dem lawmakers gunned down in their homes in Minnesota 6 months ago. May be revealing.

Not once in the entire history of the United States has the 2nd Amendment been used to successfully resist actual tyranny, but it is used day in and day out to successfully murder children just trying to go to school.

The precise moment when and where in recent weeks America crossed that invisible line from democracy into authoritarianism can and will be debated by future historians, but it’s clear that the line itself has been crossed. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/america-ti...

Keep a handful of Mexican flag stickers in your pocket and slap one in their vehicles while they are busy dealing with other protestors. They’ll go full keystone cops pulling each other over.

This is step one in how we lose free and fair elections. It’s not that Trump will “cancel” the midterms. It’s just everyone has to vote in person, and urban downtowns will be filled with ICE checkpoints and intimidating National Guard troops to “double check” that only citizens vote.

Democrats should fully embrace a big tent party, one that has a place for Cooper AND Mamdani. Democrats need both vs. corrupt oligarchy, No one expects a Mamdani to run in NC or Cooper in NYC so why attack a candidate who is suited to his jurisdiction? open.substack.com/pub/contrari...

There are no red states, no blue states, only purple, from Idaho fuchsia to Vermont violet. And in every state there are children, non-citizens, and prisoners who can't vote. In every state where one candidate won, a bunch of people voted for the other candidate. And so forth.

Thank you Trump and Stephen Miller for saving us from this

Question: if there are so many violent criminals who are undocumented, why aIs ICE having to grab kids with cancer (who are actually citizens) just to stay busy?

The conservative movement has turned against reality on every scientific issue of our time, from gun violence to climate change to epidemiology. If campuses are ideologically homogenous, it's not because academia has ostracized conservatives. It's because conservatives have ostracized academia.

As the Trump damage mounts, is it not time to consider cognitive failure, ignorance, emotional instability, and an increasingly maniacal character as the problem?

The Prime Minister of the Heard / McDonald Islands Speaks on Trump’s Tariffs

He’s tanking the economy, destroying our standing in the world, depriving women and LGBTQ communities of their fundamental rights, attacking the environment, disappearing legal immigrants, gutting Veteran’s benefits and Social Security. And he’s making you pay for his golf trips while he’s at it.

Impeach Trump.

“If Harris wins this election, the result will be a Kamala economic crash. .. A 1929-style depression. When I win the election, we will immediately begin a brand new Trump economic boom.” - Trump, 8/14/24

Trueism: Presidents don't have a lot of impact on the economy. Fine Print: Because most don't do totally insane things.

Out of all the bullies and monsters in the administration, Marco Rubio seems like the purest specimen of how Nazism happened—not a sincere bigot or ideologue, just an empty shell who has literally no limits on what he will agree to do or pretend to believe, embracing brutality to fill his weakness

If a woman had 13 kids by four different men, used ketamine and spent all her time running a shadow presidency, I’m not sure our society would celebrate her.

No foreign power has ever posed as massive and immediate a threat to the United States as the current administration.

People who stay on Twitter/X are empowering a major booster of Germany’s neo-Nazi party. I know the arguments for keeping a Twitter presence — I used to think that too — but the moral imperative is to stop Elon Musk, not make him more rich and influential.

An unelected billionaire was crowned co-President by the Republican Party. They’ve given him the influence to make a damn post that throws a spending bill into limbo cause House Republicans are scared of him. No greater example of oligarchy. Where the ultra-wealthy run the show.

Ah, the faces of cowardice.

Would someone explain why his resignation should stop the release of the report? It’s certainly not a moot point. Even if he wasn’t up for AG (god help us), his constituents deserve to know what is in the report.

You should probably get used to hearing this word a lot over the next few years.
