Unless an elected official says "And that's why I will..." or some variant at the end of these interviews you should assume they support whatever it is they are describing.

where's the lie youtube.com/shorts/-rvvW...

Curling in a ball and claiming that the GOP is too powerful to even *allow them to have a discussion about impeachment* is comically weak and pathetic. The American people deserve better than this.

Impeachment is honestly one of the simplest things a member can push. They can write whatever (even a simple "Trump is impeached for high crimes and misdemeanors") and force a vote whenever.

Again: Impeach Hegseth and Trump for war crimes. 132 members of the House have law degrees and surely could write Articles in their sleep. All of them swore an oath to support and defend the Constitution. Write the Articles tonight.

eric swalwell said on msnow that a major goal of a dem majority after the midterms would be for ice masks to come off and badges to come out, this is insufficient

This is could well be a historic midterm for Democrats. Don’t waste it on centrists who won’t come through when it matters. Run vocal progressives. You won’t end Trumpism without anti-corruption crusaders and warriors for social and economic justice who believe in taxes & big, universal programs.

It’s wild to suggest this is a circular firing squad or something when it’s millions of citizen Democrats who hate it versus 47 elected Democrats who conspired to surrender for nothing. We’re not fighting “each other,” we’re fighting you. There’s only a few dozen of you, but you hold all the power.

Did they all just do a unanimous consent agreement?

Trump officials are living on base and in military properties because they know the military will protect those properties in the event of mass protests against the government, right? Miller is living on a military base with controlled access, and others are in military housing for the same reason.

Mike Johnson knows the least about anything of anyone in Washington.

Millions of people around the world just live with a weird little guy from a whole different species in their home

It’s so fucked up, I was helping my friend put up Halloween decorations outdoors like I do every year and they were throwing tear gas canisters three blocks over by a church

lmao the military cosplay is really something

RFK jr in the back looking healthy as always

I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES I know we are “used to it” but it is absolutely insane

In case you missed it: an essential piece from Olúfẹ́mi O. Táíwò from earlier this week: www.bostonreview.net/articles/how...

the kimmel thing is bad but as long as they arent rounding people up indiscriminately based on race, building concentration camps and talking about eradicating those they deem sexual deviants, i think we’ll be ok

This is one of the weaknesses of civility politics, it falls for the form. That humiliating content farming is debate-shaped, we have to treat it as legitimate! Fox News is news-shaped, we have to treat it as legitimate! The Free Press is newspaper-shaped. etc etc.

“awful people don’t deserve to be killed, but they don’t deserve to be praised, either” is apparently a thought too complex for the pundit mind

Yeah well we have this little thing called freedom of the press. Yeah it’s pretty neat. 3 guys control the media and social media and they have more wealth than half the planet. If you ask about gun control they put you in a dog cage

maybe Mayor Wu stayed silent because nobody in Boston gives a shit about a few kids riding their bikes

starting to think maybe RFK Jr. was telling the truth in the hundreds of podcasts and speeches he did about being anti-vax and then lied that one time in front of Congress

closest I've been to dying laughing

I wrote about the absolute moral necessity of Congress impeaching a president who represents a threat to democracy, the nation, and every person on the planet—and also about the practical necessity of doing so, because not doing so tells a incoherent story. www.the-reframe.com/impeachment-...

If you care about Medicaid, I need your help. These kids are the best chance we have of saving Medicaid. Families are on the way to DC. We need to cover van rentals and hotel rooms. I will not, I will NOT, waste your money or time. Can you help get this donation link in front of your people?

Guys Hitler is having a real bad day in the bunker please no mental health jokes 🙏🏻

the more you know

This. Is. Not. A. Serious. Comms. Strategy. Remember when everyone was patting themselves on the back for say, buying Trump urls which forwarded to Hillary's website in 2016? It's not a strategy. You get to feel clever for about ten seconds, but it doesn't move the actual needle.

What did Jerry Maguire's pants say to his tailor? you can pleat me

An excellent breakdown of why our current government's delegitimization of science is so damn dangerous when coupled with humanity's propensity to forget its own path to the present. RFK & co are peddling a version of the past that NEVER existed. Don't buy it.

This seems like a good idea. In fact, I vaguely remember that we used to do this & it worked really well!

you know, we research whether the baby stroller has all the features and amenities we like, not whether it will kill the baby

Lmaooo does JT owe this kid money #celtics

"not enough"

Robert Kennedy Jr. is a dangerous crank and should be forced out one way or another. His mishandling of measles warrants a congressional inquiry.

any talk of politics that does not explicitly have a plan to deal with the increasing power of authoritarian digitization and the non-state power of the wealth class and social media is not addressing the full scope of these issues

If the president can ignore court orders and illegally circumvent, Congress, there is no Constitution. It’s gone. There’s no enumerated right that the president can’t take from you, no law Congress can pass that is binding, and no court that can protect you from any of it. It’s the whole ballgame.

🧵 THREAD: A federal whistleblower just dropped one of the most disturbing cybersecurity disclosures I’ve ever read. He's saying DOGE came in, data went out, and Russians started attempting logins with new valid DOGE passwords Media's coverage wasn't detailed enough so I dug into his testimony:

CHAPPELLE, in 2017: Bring jobs back from China? “For what? So iPhones can be $9,000??? .. (via QCap) $AAPL $NKE

better late than never, you stupid motherfuckers

do we still live in a democratic society? when you can be black bagged and whisked off to a foreign prison without due process and the supreme court reverse engineers legal justifications? when the president disregards congress and courts at his whim? when media bend over backwards to legitimize?

All I keep thinking about is that if/when Dems regain power, every action to restore normality or basic functioning of governmental institutions will be covered by the national press like it’s a controversial, partisan power play on par with a coup.
