The absolute dumbest possible timeline. That's what we live in.

We're so used to watching our military kill people we don't even notice it. But killing people for oil or to arrest drug dealers is evil, and people who support it are evil.

Imagine having your parents brutally murdered and then having to do this because the fucking President of the United States is so disgusting.

I'm not sure why, but Democracy Docket had one of its best days for new memberships. Thank you to everyone who signed up. Your support allows the 22-person team to keep you informed about the fight for democracy and free and fair elections. More premium content coming in the morning!

Ironic that our celebration of the 250th anniversary of our Declaration of Independence will be led by a mad king.

It's the only game that matters. My SKETCH of British politicians playing the Trump Game.

Cancelling research into preventing breast cancer is classic Trump and classic insanity. www.facebook.com/reel/4354173...

Denmark’s PM, Mette Frederiksen responds to Trump: “The US has no right to annex any of the three nations in the Danish kingdom…I would therefore strongly urge the US to stop the threats against a historically close ally…and another people who have said very clearly that they are not for sale.”

Literally a publication for eight-year olds 40 years ago

Anyway, if we were actually a serious country, all of our institutions, both in and out of government, would stop treating This One Special Boy as if he alone is not subject to the norms, laws, & Constitution of the Republic.

NEW: I haven't forgotten about the Epstein Files. I've filed my response to the government in my ongoing FOIA battle to get the redaction training videos, and I break it down here: www.muellershewrote.com/p/my-pursuit...

yep. i can identify any number of structural issues but at the end of the day the basic problem is the republican party. this has been apparent for at least 20 years. it is also an incredibly unpopular observation to make among “serious” people.

Please do…I’ve had enough

In authoritarian regimes, underlings signal loyalty to the ruler by publicly attesting to obviously false claims

wait I just heard a commentator say basically "well, how would Americans like it if some other country kidnapped trump and his wife and sent them off for trial?" I would guess that most Americans would be grateful.

The United States will be in a major war by November and the regime will use it to suspend elections. They will further use the inevitable uprising to impose martial law and suspend constitutional freedoms. It is a near certainty at this point. The only question is who we will be at war with.

The response from Senator Mark Kelly, @captmarkkelly.bsky.social. Thank you, sir. ~ A Constituent

HOW in the world could any country just show up and grab its leader and his spouse? But IF Maduro made a deal with US, and some Middle Eastern middlemen, well, now that makes more sense. Been wondering about that from the start. Maduro HAD to have protection. Not easy to kidnap! What do YOU think?🤔

Welcome to America, where we’ll arrest YOUR president for crimes but not OURS

🔥🔥🔥 DO NOT BE DISTRACTED & STAY LOUD!! 🔥🔥🔥 DONALD TRUMP IS GOING DOWN!! TRUMP & EPSTEIN ARE SEX TRAFFICKERS!!! I’m gonna post this every day so nobody forgets exactly who Pedophile Trump is and why the Epstein files have suddenly disappeared. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

We need more pressure on Congress. When is the next one of these?

Trump isn't merely stupid. He sincerely believes if he has the power to take something from you by force, and you have it, then you are wrong to have it, and he is right to take it. Every aspect of his life, every decision, every idolized dictator proves this is his rule. Not stupid. Evil.

If you are a foreign president who commits crimes overseas, America will come get you, arrest you, and lock you up. But if you are a US president who commits crimes here in the United States, America will give you immunity from prosecution, reelect you, and bribe you with billions of dollars.

The mayor of New York City is doing more than the senate and house minority leaders

literally how many members of congress have done this much? Where's the list? Which newspaper has a list of names with a checkmark next to them?

Controlling the judiciary and amassing wealth through corruption, you say?

Nothing about these guys is subtle, I’ll give them that

babe wake up, they're doing insider trading on war crimes

You can’t report illegal acts because you don’t want to compromise them being carried out is an interesting take, if true

At a time when he’s caused healthcare & other costs to skyrocket here at home, Trump bailed out Argentina & wants to "run" Venezuela, including if necessary, w/ US boots on the ground. All he cares abt is enriching himself, big bankers, oil CEOs & the rest of his billionaire pals.

The only difference between Trump and Putin is that only one of them speaks fluent Russian and can stay awake during meetings.

"They use us to avoid addressing their own problems."

1) Venezuela has a government. 2) This is being thrown together at the last minute by people who—amazing as it sounds—are even less intelligent, qualified, and competent than the GWBush-era dunces who tried to make imperialism happen in Iraq & Afghanistan and failed miserably. What could go wrong?

Monet was one of 1st Abstract Expressionists AND 1st Impressionists. That's not something discussed in most art history books or classes. But it's so obvious! Despite his deteriorating eyesight, Monet kept on painting. He had such a drive to paint, paint, paint. I am such a huge fan.

Members of Congress: stop posting online and APPEAR, PHYSICALLY on the steps of the Capitol to decry this unconstitutional violation of domestic & international law. SHOW THE PEOPLE the level of danger we are facing as a country. @housedemocrats.bsky.social @senatedemocrats.bsky.social

As usual, the only element of this WaPo editorial worth reading is the AI summary of reader comments: www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

More reaction to Maduro’s “arrest”

Given the fact that Trump has deemed he can invade a country if he doesn't like the way it's run, Mexico, Canada and Greenland must now start preparing for invasion unless the US Congress gets serious and impeaches and removes Trump from office.

Trump just ordered strikes and arrested Maduro and his wife without congressional approval. Then he went on TV to admit that he wants to control a regime change in Venezuela. He celebrated the violence of it all and then set eyes on Mexico next. And Congress will do nothing. We are a failed nation.

So, the betting pools will start soon on whether Mexico or Cuba is next, and two days before it happens, a new crypto wallet will appear on those sights and place millions of dollars of bets, as if they have foreknowledge of what’a about to happen. Just like happened this time.

Can’t wait for the thorough 60 Minutes investigation into our invasion and occupation of Venezuela to be shut down and aired to us from Mexico

More appropriate!

Remember how appalled we all were in 2022 when Russia completely unprovoked attacked Ukraine? That is what we’re doing tonight with Venezuela. We are the bad guys here. Everyone who supports this is supporting unprovoked murder. Fuck every last one of them

Europe cannot (but probably will) hedge on this anymore. We need to defend ourselves - including Ukraine - by ourselves, even if it is hard or suboptimal.

In our name, with our money, ostensibly for oil, but mostly because we have a president who's addicted to power and attention and needs to deflect from being friends with the world’s most famous pedophile. Shame on these fucking monsters who run my country. They need out.
