Pritzker: "Stephen Miller is clearly ordering people to break the law. So he should know that yeah, it may be three years from now that he is held accountable, but I think it's important for them to know that whatever they do now, it's not like we're going to forget."

Looks like a 🖕to America.

AOC: The problem is that the Trump administration, they think that destroying our health care, making sure that housing is too expensive to live in, that jacking up the cost of our groceries—they think all of this is about hurting Democrats. What they are doing is hurting Americans

Chris Christie: “Thie is no longer, the Department of Justice, is no longer the premier prosecuting office in America. What it is now is a capo regime who goes out and executes hits when directed by the Don to do so. That’s what it is.”

The is literally nothing more American and patriotic than declaring: No Kings.

When people are hired, not for their honesty or competency, but for their ability to be snarling trolls on TV for the delight of their immature and unpleasant boss, you get an AG like Pamela Jo Bondi.

Thanks, New Yorker

Rep. Rich McCormick dismisses a Washington Post poll showing Americans are blaming Republicans for the shutdown: "Polling is not very accurate because the pollsters generally get out of it what they want. I don't trust those polls."

Weak, broken, insecure men who get power and use it to cosplay. That's what we have.

This current American presidential administration is run by people who are quite obviously mentally ill, and we need to start talking about that.

You’re allowed to be depressed for 10 minutes a day, but then you need to go outside and act, says @ejeancarroll.bsky.social

Occam's Razor always rules. Always.

One of Trump’s own former attorneys….

Every single one of these clips was taken today in downtown Portland. Portland doesn’t want or need a federal takeover. If Trump insists on sending federal “resources” he can start with funding health care, bridges, affordable housing, and wildfire protection to name a few.

A pattern is developing where everyone who fights back against a Trump attack inevitably wins with their reputation much better than before, and everyone who caves to him looks like shit and has Trump coming back for more a month later.

When journalism was cool. And risked everything to challenge power.

This may explain why there’s an aggressive response to people who merely post Kirk’s own words. It threatens the existence of the alternate Kirk - the motivational speaker that had been marketed to young kids and white Christian groups through selective quotation & clips.

A great deal of our problems result from not holding those who tried to destroy our democracy accountable for their actions.

Pritzker: "When did we become a country where it's ok for the US president to insist on national television that a state should call him to beg for anything? Especially something we don't want. Have we truly lost all sense of sanity in this nation that we treat this as normal?"

"For people who are frustrated with the system...Donald Trump is a remarkable vessel for the frustration. What he is not is a vehicle for the solution. That's where the Democratic party must come in." @govwesmoore.bsky.social joins @johnavlon.bsky.social in the latest episode of How To Fix It:

Walz: "It boggles my damn mind that in the midst of a military takeover of our cities, the flaunting of the rule of law, that the press finds the need to talk about, 'Oh, there's a division in the Dem Party.' There's a division in my damn house & we're still married and things are good. That's life"

"Our current regime is powered by anger at a hundred perceived sleights: too many brown people at Harvard; a book with gay penguins; a swimmer who didn’t get the 4th place trophy she felt she deserved; having less than the Joneses." Gulags? Eh, whatever.

"We're all throwing dildos at women athletes to promote our memecoin" really puts a fine point on not just how sexist, mean and stupid so much of right now is, but also the grim degree to which we're just inundated with Stuff a 15-Year-Old Dipshit Would Think is Cool. A confederacy of Beavises.

Americans are relearning the lesson we learned during the Gilded Age of the late 1890s, when robber barons ran the government and the economy for their own benefit: Oligarchy is incompatible with the common good. I'm hopeful we'll respond with a new progressive movement.

Question for Mike Flood: With $450 million being allocated to Alligator Alcatraz, and ICE burning through $8.4 million a day to illegally detain people—How much does it cost for fascism? How much do the tax payers have to pay for a fascist country?

What an accomplishment, an all-time best in the worst

This is what is happening right now.

Plus ça change ….

Some folks haven’t spent decades fighting a GOP-dominated government and it shows… The GOP always lies. They are corrupted by big donors. They cover up both lies and corruption. They never admit to any wrongdoing. They project their illegal activity on to the other side. Rinse. Repeat.

Anti-Trump protester in Scotland: “I want him to leave our country. He’s an odious man, horrible orange buffoon.”

"We keep using this word 'foreign' influence, but it's actually mafia state political actors...and...alignments. ...You can literally trace the influence maps...in the United States Congress, perhaps in this body [EU Parliament], in the UK Parliament." www.youtube.com/watch?v=O35i...

USA TODAY: “.. The president is wildly unpopular, and he is creating a crueler version of America that a sizable majority of voters reject.” @usatoday.com @rexhuppke.bsky.social www.usatoday.com/story/opinio...

Yeah, this is really not great

Trump is aggressively ignorant. He does not learn, actively resists it, and has surrounded himself with people who enable his stupidity.

What did I call this? … Oh yeah, #Bullshitzkreig

"Populism, nativism, racism, and frankly, stupidity, are sprinkled liberally throughout our history. But they are subtexts, not the main story. We will transcend MAGA as we transcended the Know Nothings, the Confederacy, the anarchists, the McCarthyites."
