This is a massive, history making abuse of your power. It will define your legacy and one day you will come to regret punishing free speech and trying to destroy democracy.

It is genuinely humiliating as an America to have this sour, cowardly, narcissistic lout represent us and to know that so many Americans applaud conduct like this. Just deeply embarrassing.

A sneering midwit with inherited wealth got the facts wrong, and accused an honest public servant—Lisa Cook—of fraud. His meddling created a crisis well beyond his portfolio, undermining the Fed. Bill Pulte can do the right thing and resign. If merit still matters, he should be fired.

This is the what this cheering Trump’s autocratic takeover do not understand is the inevitable future of this path and if they did realize it we might be able to avoid it completely. So frustrating.

How bad did the ask have to be for a Trumpy sleazebag like Billy Long to say no ? www.nytimes.com/2025/08/08/u...

Hi! Things...are not going great right now. And the really hard, knotty question is, "What do we do?" Well, my friends at PD have spent time drilling into what people have done in other countries in the face of authoritarianism to find out WHAT WORKS. Here's the beginning of our series 👇

VANCE: As an ice breaker, let's all name our favorite amendment to the Constitution. Pam? BONDI: Uh ... the First, I guess? BLANCHE: Can't represent the Big Guy without the Fifth! PATEL: #2 on the list, but #1 in my heart. All about the guns, son! VANCE: So ... no fans of the 25th huh

Work 12 hours a day/7 days a week being a concentration camp "manager." No benefits.

She was right.

"It's really hard to fathom that the guy making my pizza for 25 years is a gangster and a terrorist, and the person who shows up in an unmarked car wearing a mask and body armor comes to take him away is somehow the good guy” www.wnep.com/article/news...

Pam Bondi is thug scum. The Attorney General making these comments about a defendant in a federal criminal case is lawless. This administration’s unethical hacks continue to demonstrate that they want to be deposits.

ATTACK THEM ON EVERY FUCKING THING. EVERY TIME. EVERY DAY. RUIN THEIR MISERABLE LIVES. SHAME THEIR SUPPORTERS AND THEIR FAMILIES. MAKE YOUR SUPPORTERS ASHAMED TO BE ASSOCIATED WITH THEM. You don’t even mention that he’s a rapist pedophile, why the fuck not? What’s wrong with you?

It's just awful when you buy a guy a perfectly good election, and he won't even do whatever you want.

"The reconciliation bill is a political opportunity for Democrats. But the allure of featuring Musk is at best a distraction—at worst, a trap. Sometimes the enemy of your enemy can be a useful friend. But sometimes the enemy of your enemy is just another jackass." www.thebulwark.com/p/dear-democ...

What if instead they look to hold him accountable for his crimes?

Wait. The guy who spent years falsely claiming that the Biden administration tried to censor him because they... responded to his dumb declaration about letting everyone get Covid for herd immunity doesn't know how things actually work? Shocking.

Law enforcement officers should never cover their faces when making arrests or conceal their identities (unless they are working undercover). They work for us. We have a right to know who they are. These face coverings are frightening & unAmerican, as though they're ashamed of what they're doing.

if it takes years, has to be consequences for all these people, and even more for those who gave the orders.

It’s so fucked up that a huge number of people are going to have to learn through experience that they were being duped when we have all been screaming it from the rooftops and they wouldn’t listen.

4-year-old Bakersfield girl facing deportation could die within days of losing medical care - Los Angeles Times Don’t ever tell me that Christians support the GOP. There is nothing Christian or Christ-like about this. Just plain old cruelty and callousness:

so who do we think trump is manipulating the market for today?

In a universe not so very long ago, Elise Stefanik was very very very upset over the idea of American institutions accepting large financial gifts from Qatar.

I’m just laughing my head off at all the MAGA folks who attacked me for doing a show for Al Jazeera. And yet here’s their Dear Leader:

Children get only two dolls and five pencils. Trump gets a free luxury jet.

Lutnick repeats that Trump's goal in China talks this weekend is to "de-escalate." Again, have they tried not escalating in the first place www.foxnews.com/video/637260...

This is treason as far as I’m concerned and should be punished as such

this guy hates this country, its laws and its traditions

once again my full throated support and endorsement for any democrat who pursues criminal legal accountability for the DOGE boys. and i’d be fine with shipping these guys to the Hague

This didn't happen when the military had DEI. www.cnn.com/2025/05/06/p...

Even the AI knew to give Trump a red lightsaber.

She was a 27-year-old Ukrainian reporter investigating Russian atrocities. Then she vanished. Her body was returned by Russia with burn marks, broken rib, signs of electric shock and organs removed. www.washingtonpost.com/world/intera...

ICE agents are lawless, sociopathic shitbirds. Treat every one you encounter accordingly.

This is the kind of headline (and mentality) that really annoys me. Social Security is more than just a political football. For real people all across America-outside of the beltway-this is an issue with devastating consequences. People are already hurting. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

my latest newsletter is about how The Free Press, Bari Weiss's pseudo-independent media outlet, is handling Trump's second term.

reporting on this has really got to get better about communicating the magnitude of the breach here. if you read the nyt article with minimal context, you would have no sense that this was watergate-level impeachable misconduct

I got animated. (For a reason.)

It doesn't matter what the rest of the sentence says, the opening 10 words in themselves are the scandal: "President Trump on Thursday directed the Justice Department to investigate ... "

As you assess the DEAL we're striking with Korea, remember: We ALREADY have an active free trade agreement with Korea that provides tariff free trade in nearly everything. Expect this new agreement to... Provide for tariff free trade in nearly everything. Just like 6 weeks ago.

This is a big deal for the Navy -- and $1.8M a relatively small sum relative to the maritime diplomacy that happens with heads of dozens of world navies all coming together. news.usni.org/2025/04/24/n...

my endorsement for any democratic presidential candidate who promises to send the entire DOGE team to prison

They’re just joking, right? He has no plans to violate the constitution and try and stay in office, right? Right?

Resistance Steve

there's uh a lot going on here

It’s true. If Trump was simply a different person who had promised to do different things then his presidency would be going great. No one could possibly have foreseen any of this.

“Pro-life”

Pitchforks and torches.

This is why politicians love doing podcasts, just one softball question after another here from Bari Weiss to Marco Rubio. So much important stuff to challenge him on - especially free speech, ostensibly the Free Press’s biggest issue! - and she just… doesn’t.

Governor JB Pritzker just announced that Illinois will be defunding investments in companies controlled by El Salvador to punish the country for holding American residents without due process. More of this.
