The same people who cry "election interference" are hiding a senator's dead body to keep their majority.

Elected officials shouldn't offer us mere observations but instead direct action. Every time they speak to us they should clearly state *what* they plan to do (and asking for more money isn't a plan).

@whitehouse.senate.gov — so you understand…

Oh, Kash, you sweet, summer child. Nobody was going to speculate and then you had to try to look important and in the know.

It gives you a window into how they’ll totally not extract accountability from the fascists in the aftertimes. Color me entirely unsurprised.

a reminder the next time you hear your politician bewail the parliamentarian or some other fake excuse

As America marks 250 years, may we recommit to building a diverse democracy, an economy that works for the many and not just the few, and a future where every generation has the opportunity to live a dignified life. Happy 4th of July!

Fact.

Ex Pearl Jam drummer David Abbruzzese on Elon Musk and the gutting of USAID. "Fascism survives by turning corpses into math. It sells death as tradeoffs, budget lines, acceptable loss. People who would never step over a dying child on a sidewalk will vote for that spreadsheet every two years."

We should call this Neofeudalism

Oh so you can fight when you want to.

Ffs stop using this shit

Someone has been projecting images all over D.C. “It’s swampier than ever.” The Kennedy Center one is pretty hilarious. 😂😂😂

The fascist version of the Great American State Fair.

It is not an easy thing to explain, which is probably why it keeps getting lost in the noise, but doing nothing IS COMMUNICATING something to voters. Humans are social creatures and when someone is screaming, it signals to others to pay attention. The opposite is true as well. Silence is a message.

In other words, unless we actually unite in solidarity and demand necessary changes, we're going to look back on the Trump Years as a relatively moderate time in the face of what is brewing within the MAGA project. We still have time and I believe energy is shifting, but complacency isn't an option

We can't just "weather" Trumpism and expect things to return to normal. "Normal" laid the foundation for this moment. We can't return there and the people waiting in the wings for the post-Trump environment are very serious and very focused and far more ideology-driven than Trump and his sycophants.

A fun fact about me is I had lunch with Nellie Connally, and she told me the entire story of—and answered all my questions about—being in the car with JFK when she threw herself over her husband who caught the “magic bullet.” It happened to be an anniversary. Most fascinating conversation ever.

Hi, we saw you from across the bar, and we'd like to give you health care.

C-SPAN will air Jane Fonda's "NO KINGS" Concert Live on Sunday, June 14 @ 7:30pm. I'm sure more of us will be watching that than will watch stupid Trump's shit show on Paramount Plus Fascism.

Wait. You're going to make a law that says that Trump's corruption is illegal? Isn't corruption already illegal? Doesn't the Constitution say that criminals in high gov't positions get impeached? So why aren't you impeaching him?

There’s been a lot of talk in this race about what makes a "real man." A man does what’s right when no one is watching. He upholds his commitments to his family and neighbors. He doesn’t lie, cheat, & steal his way through life. Real men serve others. Weak men serve themselves.

He actually posted this. Please NASA, fly him yo the Moon and get him to take his helmet off!

Most people do not understand how desperate America's situation is geopolitically, *regardless* of Trump. Or why there is such a desperate herd rush to AI. Put aside partisan politics for a second, or even your feelings about AI. We are in DEEP trouble vs China. A little thread here: /1

And the way to weaponize that knowledge is to throw it into their faces at every opportunity. Town halls, primaries, caucuses, whenever THEY want something from YOU, you must ask them "Why did you call that reckless when it was clearly a crime?"

No gonna lie, I love this stuff. thelocalinsidernews.com/nasa-confirm...

Do you know the hoops these people are making states go through to spend the money *they’ve already allocated to our budgeted purposes*?! They’re coming back now, demanding additional justifications and scrutinizing minutia on $100 while they’re OVERPAYING BY MILLIONS FOR JETS?!?

And *boy* did Canadians find a Third Way bullshitter to move into 24 Sussex Drive: Mark Carney, an austerity-crazed central banker who will endorse *incredibly* progressive policies...provided he never has to *do* any of them. 7/

NPR carrying water for its abusers.

This was Dems’ philosophy on Trump from the start. Now we live under fascist oligarchy.

My member of Congress’ “newsletters” are so worthless and self-serving, here amidst fascist horror that @amo.house.gov has taken no meaningful steps to prevent or stop, that I can no longer read them, but these “polls” are genuinely insulting. What is the point of this?

Yes, it seems like fraud.

Ken Paxton is the most corrupt politician in America.  He embodies the broken system we’re running against. It’s time to come together: The People vs. Ken Paxton

Sycophancy is dangerous. Billionaires isolated by their wealth, surrounded only by people who flatter and lie to them to keep their jobs, risk their mental health. Trading sanity for money is not worth it. For one thing, you can’t enjoy the money, the reason you gave up sanity.

Every commercial tech is spying on you, then selling your data. The punchline being that the entities buying it are getting scammed as much as you are. I love living in an entirely fraud-based economy.

On this note: another state (or several of them) should file an original jurisdiction suit against Florida on this basis. The domestic emoluments ban on states paying the president is a federalism safeguard, one state violating it is a real harm to the sovereign interests of every other state.

One of the major blocks to holding them accountable was the way liberals defended Biden by spreading the extremely harmful narrative that *any criticism of Biden was doing the work of the enemy*

Not sure I’m getting the terminology right, but Iran is definitely calling Trump a “cuck” and if we want to go there, we can take it all the way to “whiteboi”? Is that correct? May I get a MAGA ruling on this, please?

Based on everything we keep seeing I just don’t know how people are so reflexively defensive of Obama, Biden, Harris, Pelosi, Schumer, Jeffries etc. They’ve all fucking failed us. Their job was/is to fight the right and they don’t do it.

Just got a sneak peak of @mapcenter.com 's new space and it's gorgeous and everyone should spend all of their disposable income on maps so he can afford the rent

If you go back in us history, equal rights for women, black, Latino, Asian, gay people all polled badly at some point. I don’t give a fuck. Either stand up for rights or get the fuck out of the way, I don’t care which party you’re in.

Imagine the depths of the Trump family tax f*ckery that they feel they must secure eternal tax immunity before the end comes.

Beutler is one of our best political thinkers, but this one…Slush fund uses for election f*ckery: A lawyer queasy about an illegal scheme, you can apply for a few million dollars. A state official who wants to help Reps hold the House, but doesn’t want to break the law, would $1 million sway you?

WTF, @whitehouse.senate.gov?

The worst part of this fascist clusterf*ck is that our “opposition leaders” are such losers that we can’t even fantasize about them stripping this criminal of everything and seeing him destitute and bald in jail someday b/c we know nobody will follow through. F*ck our feckless Dems.

@skeetsapp.com y’all, my app spontaneously shuts down multiple times a day for no discernible reason lately. What’s up with that?
