the vice president is a klansman

Today I joined patriots at the Kennedy Center to make clear that Trump’s desecration of the Center will not stand. It’s not a matter of whether, but of when, his name will come down. We will not allow him to despoil what belongs to the American people.

Jewish America knows fascism is Bad For The Jews

3. Leadership is about doing what is necessary, not just what is popular. Read literally anything our founders wrote about virtue, and the inherent risks to a society based on democratic processes to sustain the rule of law to the extent that unvirtuous people gain power.

Letting the 1/6 guy act like a king: bad?

I am once again pointing out that conflating Israel criticism with antisemitism is Bad For The Jews

Trump’s corrupted DOJ continues protecting Trump and other Epstein friends

Without googling, how many Democrats have won a *majority* of the national popular vote twice?

I have just demanded a full refund for remaining tickets at the Kennedy Center. I did not buy anything at the "Trump Kennedy" Center. I encourage you to do the same #refundKennedy

Ellisons (who just bought Paramount), Kushner, and Gulf tyrants have also been trying to buy Warner Bros, and Trump said he’s going to meddle in regulatory approval for competing bids

The name "Popular Science" doesn't mean we shift our coverage depending on public opinion. It means we cover relevant subjects that are rigorously researched, reliable, and grounded in reality. And trans lives are grounded in reality. We see y'all. No matter what. www.popsci.com/science/tran...

Not sure what current law says but no federal property should ever be named or branded for the INCUMBENT president without the explicit approval of Congress.

Next Democratic President better have few hundred executive orders ready for the first 100 days to undo every illegal nonsense associated with this regime.

The White House says the Kennedy Center board vote was “unanimous”… BULLSHIT. @repbeatty.bsky.social, a Congressional member of the board, was on the call. They muted her and didn't let her voice opposition. This is beyond absurd, totally illegal, and a disgrace to the memory and legacy of JFK.

Legalizing weed is overwhelmingly popular and it’s crazy to me that Dems keep missing our chances to use it as a partisan wedge issue

Anyone who won’t commit to taking Trump’s branding off the Kennedy Center, Institute of Peace, F-47, etc has no business leading the Democratic Party in 2028.

Hard to wrap your head around, but Donald Trump causes exponentially more harm every day than Jeffrey Epstein did in his whole life.

Simpler times

Watching this really highlights how much Trump has aged since he conquered the Republican Party a decade ago

Is it bad if the CEO of a publicly-traded media company, who has spent his entire tenure making headlines for anti-consumer and anti-artist behavior, gets rewarded with half a billion dollars in shareholders’ money?

My "I have not lost control of the House" t-shirt is raising a lot of questions already answered by the shirt

Can't even tell a joke anymore, because of anti-woke

The media needs to stop writing headlines like “The CDC changes course on vaccines and autism” and “The CDC defends measles response”. NONE of this is coming from legitimate scientists at the CDC. ALL of it is coming from RFK Jr. Every such headline is causing further harm to public health.

A great piece by my colleague @donmoyn.bsky.social open.substack.com/pub/donmoyni...

Surrounded by an armada, according to POTUS

Maybe Senate Republicans shouldn’t have allowed Trump to put an incompetent henchman in charge of the FBI and conduct political purges

Trump didn’t even come up with “Make America Great Again”. Reagan did.

Trump’s billionaire friends brought Trump’s son-in-law into a deal to take (more) control of the media because Trump’s son-in-law could offer them Trump’s corrupt abuse of government power to facilitate the deal, and also massive investment from foreign tyrants seeking to buy influence with Trump

Unfortunate that Reddit isn’t higher on this list. Social media was more democratic when it was about users writing text instead of algorithms serving influencer videos, and Reddit (like Bluesky) is among the last significant platforms for that.

Awfully tedious getting “just do popular things” lectures from people who recommend conceding to the stance with 17% support on a high stakes issue against the stance with 79% support.

VF: here are a bunch of direct quotes from wiles NYT: wiles said one of the quotes was fake but VF played us an audio recording of wiles saying it Wiles: this is a hit piece

Congress should overrule these Trump sanctions and join the majority of countries worldwide that accept the International Criminal Court’s jurisdiction.

A Democratic president would be impeached and removed for this

Hate to admit it but this law review article on presidential power to pardon state offenses makes some insightful points

Trump thinks veterans don’t deserve free speech

The reason anti-The Groups discourse tends to be so vague is that it’s less about any specific Groups and more about the centrist urge to ignore progressive and civil rights movements to focus solely on median voters, which may have been a savvy electoral strategy in 1992 but isn’t anymore.

Exactly

The Iraq War was a tragic mistake, but nobody was surprised that the US military took Baghdad in less than a month, even though Iraq is half a world away from the US. Meanwhile, Russia can’t get halfway across a country on its border. Losers.

The president is using this apparent family tragedy, which as far as we know had absolutely nothing to do with him, to convey the message that if his fans brutally murder his critics, they will receive his support and approval.

Now that Santa has built a loyal and addicted customer base it's time for him to start charging money for presents

Jewish America doesn’t buy MAGA’s lies about antisemitism and neither should you

Elon’s corrupt political meddling has cost Tesla 1.2 million car sales and cost the world hundreds of thousands of innocent lives, and yet

This is rot at the bone. Billionaires finance authoritarian power. Heritage drafts the cruelty. Amateur wreckers gut government, fire public servants, kill aid, then eat cake while people choke to death. This is the Republican Party in 2025. www.propublica.org/article/usai...

If you believed a murder was committed in your name yesterday, would you gloat about it? Would anyone you’ve ever met do that? Would you invite someone into your home who does that?

What Rao and Walker are trying to do here is create a mechanism where Trump can ignore court orders. You simply defy any order, insist that the court refer the investigation for contempt to Trump’s own DOJ, and then ignore the referral.

this is not behavior becoming of a FIFA Peace Prize recipient.

Meeting this moment is going to require boldness and political will for big, tangible, structural reforms to rescue both our economy and our democracy from the oligarchs.

This is the most corrupt White House in the history of the country.
