I’m absolutely tired of the Trump administration breaking the law and the legal system keeps saying “please explain.” The legal system is not working. It’s fundamentally broken and I don’t believe in it.

They're doing this so they can call any government program that isn't ICE or the military "rife with fraud" and thus illegitimate. They are trying to manufacture consent to say any entitlement — from Medicare to social security — must be canceled because of extreme edge cases. Don't fall for it.

Not just disappointed. Very disappointed.

May they all disappear in a freak ice storm, never to be heard from again. Especially Noem.

Shut it down until the president stops wiping his ass with the Constitution.

When violence expert Bandy Lee publicly warned that Donald Trump likely presented a danger to the nation’s health, she was ostracized by the psychiatric community. It turns out she was right.

Good day to share one of my finer moments online.

If Trump is really stealing spending power from Congress then it would be insanity for Democrats to vote to fund the government later this month. Shut it down until the president stops wiping his ass with the Constitution.

Endorse!

Two big consequences to Democrats having these majorities: they're on the verge of advancing constitutional amendments to greenlight middecade redistricting & to automate rights restoration. boltsmag.org/five-ways-20...

I am pleased to announce that I have commandeered my neighbor's home. This home will be sold at its Market Price, and that money will be controlled by me, to ensure it is used to benefit my neighbor and me! Thank you for your attention to this matter!

Walz is out of Fs: "Not a single Republican supported this, so every Minnesotan from here on, whoever uses this program, there is no bit of thanks that would go to the R legislators who did all they could to stop this ... our schools have money to pay their teachers? I'll take credit for that too."

my hot take is that I don't think it's this website specifically that's toxic. the Circumstances are toxic and nobody really knows what to do about it so they come online and scream. and if I may offer an alternative: actually going outside and screaming feels better.

Mitch McConnell would like his legacy to be Ukraine or the court. But his most consequential decision will always be his decision to acquit Trump for January 6. It directly led to Trump’s return and his diminished influence.

one takeaway from the grok noncon porn thing is that much of the media just isn't interested in an issue they can't pretend has two sides or that doesn't give them an opportunity to shit on the left. Also it would be uncomfortable to justify remaining on twitter after acknowledging it

Samuel Alito flew two flags used by insurrectionists. Clarence Thomas' wife plotted to overturn the 2020 election. Both justices refused to recuse themselves from SCOTUS cases related to the January 6th plot. It's a stain on our nation that this has effectively been forgotten.

No, it was a successful coup. None of the people who led it were punished, and are in fact back in power, rewarded for their efforts to break the system by running it. Donald Trump is currently the dictator he attempted to become 5 years ago, and it’s because nobody treated trying as a crime.

In 2021 I wrote: “The elite impunity of GOP traitors must end. Hold them accountable or watch America fall.” And here we are. I hate it.

I know this feels impossible now, but I swear, on January 6 itself, there was a pretty broad bipartisan consensus that storming the Capitol to find and kill lawmakers was bad, and that Trump was responsible for inciting his followers to try it

"Putin envisions a world in which a small group of imperialists loot their portions of the globe as they see fit. Trump has been envious of this model for a long time. He’s implementing it himself in the Western hemisphere.” 👇🏼

If you're writing 1800 words about how we failed to account for January 6 and DON'T mention SCOTUS (particularly if you're comparing with Brazil) or impeachment, you're simply doing propaganda for the GOP.

In the DC hierarchy, lobbyists (paid activists, usually for big money) are treated as honest brokers but "activists" are not somehow (dogooder lobbyists are often referred to as activists instead of lobbyists, it is funny!)

It appears two ICE observers following ICE agents on 31st in south Minneapolis this morning were arrested. Activists say it appears the ICE observer vehicle was stopped or slid into something, and ICE agents used pepper spray and broke the car window, arresting the occupants.

example of the problem. i like @raskin.house.gov. he and the judiciary dems produced a report yesterday compiling how trump pardoning jan 6 crooks has led to a new crime wave. raskin has not posted about his own report on his bluesky account. this is basic communications.

When historians attempt to analyse the wreckage of American democracy, they'll see Jan 6 as the moment that the brakes failed. It's clear that, in the days that followed, many tried to bring Trump's wreckless momentum to a halt, but when they hit the pedal, there was nothing there.

One thing savvy media/political consultants have not yet figured out is that a checkmark on X indicates that a person makes a monthly donation to a CSAM site. "But but X gave us the checkmark because—" bzzt wrong, no way for anyone to know that. What they know is you subsidize CSAM.
