Mood.

The float/sink test for narcoterrorists is identical to the test for witches.

Ilhan Omar rose from a single parent immigrant family where her dad drove a taxi to her current position. Trump is the kid of a racist wealthy slum landlord who headed multiple failed businesses. One of these people is the example of failed ambition and it's not her. What a racist piece of shit.

Senator Kelly is correct. Plus a Public Service Announcement: KEY section of Department of Defense's Law of War Manual is 18.3.2.1. The VERY rule on the "requirement" to refuse illegal orders gives as its paradigmatic example of what is "clearly illegal: "orders to fire upon the shipwrecked."

The truth is the GOP could end this national nightmare anytime they want to. They don’t want to.

In the last week, Donald Trump has called for the murder of Congressional Democrats and threatened to unilaterally declare an invasion of Venezuela. If Congressional Republicans followed the Constitution, both of these would be removable offenses. But, they’re loyal to Trump, not the constitution.

The NYT and the Washington Post are simply ignoring the rapidly growing constitutional crisis in the White House. Almost nothing in their news coverage or opinion sections. They are as culpable as anyone in this.

AOC and Mamdani not backing a primary challenge to Jeffries is fine, actually. It’s transactional, sure. But Jeffries did ultimately come around and endorse. IMHO throwing a primary challenge at him now sends a message: Even if you do come around, we may still come after you.

Definitely have to share one of the most iconic Thanksgiving Day reenactments today. Grab those cardigans and highballs and enjoy! 🦃 🍁 🪶🔥🍽️

First Secretary of Defense you could defeat by painting a tunnel on the side of a boulder.

Easily top five though

Counterpoint: Fallows and the other apologists are full of shit. Sen Whitehouse can shovel his kumbaya bullshit but it's laughable to think Democrats standing down now will somehow energize voters next year.

Trump is singularly awful, but America's moral collapse is being perpetrated not by Trump by the Republican Party, who have shirked or sabotaged every Constitutional protection that would have prevented this. Yes, Trump must go, but his moral cancer has already metastasized across the GOP.

The mainstream media will never acknowledge that the right ultimately wants the worst for America and this the motivation for their actions. In short, mainstream press won’t tell the truth.

For no particular reason….posting former U.S. Attorney General John Mitchell’s mugshot before he went to Federal prison for committing numerous crimes on behalf and or/at the direction of President Nixon including obstruction of justice and conspiracy.

Newly released emails show Democrats on House Oversight have damning, relevant information they have not been sharing. Fuck Mike Johnson, fuck decorum and any House vote, RELEASE EVERYTHING you have now and DEMAND HEARINGS for the rest of it.

Every 👏 word 👏 of 👏 this 👏

Republicans refusal to uphold the Constitution is not a small problem. Trump is singularly awful, but we could not have fallen this far this fast without the acquiescence and cooperation of elected congressional Republicans who have bypassed or shirked every Constitutional safeguard.

Once again, the main day of Tea Party protests had about 300,000 nationwide, but saw endless coverage. The No Kings protests had about 7,000,000 nationwide, and many media outlets reacted with a yawn. No Kings was nearly 25x as big as the Tea Party but the Tea Party got 25x the attention.

He orders extrajudicial killings. He sent troops into our cities. He terrorizes citizens with ICE raids. He raised taxes without congressional approval. He has ruined American farmers and ranchers. He plans to starve the vulnerable. He demolished our house. Remove him from office.

No one besides gutter racists wants this

The Bluesky version of obeying in advance STFU is sometimes the best advice

The world needs more dinosaur art. And science.

If #ESPN and the #NFL can’t field two separate competent announcer teams for #MNF then just schedule the one game. SEA-HOU announcers are hot garbage.

I really need for people to see & acknowledge that the open racism & sexism in US public life today are directly downstream of the decade-long effort to destroy "woke," ie, anti-racism & anti-sexism. This was always the point.

I scrolled through the @1stforall.bsky.social's gallery of print front pages for local coverage of "No Kings" protests. Here are some of the standout papers, starting with the Daily Sentinel of Grand Junction, Colorado:

'Our fact checkers are saying either answer is correct'

See the difference? 👀 #NoKings

Feels quaint, almost cliché, to say this about a Trump action, but just for the record: This is all illegal, the President can't simply disregard the laws passed and agencies created by Congress, and both Vought & Trump would be impeached if the Constitution or the rule of law mattered to the GOP.

The racist-ass Supreme Court says race can't be a factor for college admissions or redistricting but racial profiling is perfectly fine for ICE to bash brown and Black skulls. F this corrupt institution. Expand the Court.

Good morning. Democrats have no obligation to vote for a budget that funds corruption and totalitarianism. Trump is willing to do whatever it takes to destroy our democracy and pad the pockets of billionaires. People don't want Democrats to wilt. They want us to fight.

3-0 since Humpy won

John Smoltz again with zero pretense of objectivity 🤬 is this biased POS really the best MLB can do? #ALCS #Mariners

We need a Son of Sam law for Supreme Court justices: You can publish your memoirs in office, but you can't profit off them.

This whole thing is terrifying. All democratic countries need to recognise Turning Point USA as a terror organisation. Their members clearly identify with fascism.

The Rutgers TPUSA chapter — whose characterization of a historian there as a “outspoken, well-known antifa member” led to death threats and moving his family to Europe — think *other* people are being “blatantly defamatory.” Not them, though. They’re doing politics the right way.

You know what fascism looks like? Attorney General Letitia James getting criminally indicted on literal trumped-up charges by the criminal who she fought to hold accountable for the actual crimes he committed and is now using the full power of the US govt to seek vengeance.

It really can't be said enough: the goal of the "anti-woke" movement was always to destroy social norms against bigotry. And it worked. And there's a whole lot of purportedly "left" thinkers & commentators who helped it -- indeed, it couldn't have been done without them. They should feel bad.

Notice her non-answer. This is explosive. Should be explosive. The US AG who said she had the Epstein files on her desk cannot say whether or not the FBI has pix of Trump with half-naked women, which one witness who knew Epstein has said he has seen.

“Starving children screaming for food as US aid cuts unleash devastation and death across Myanmar” Never forget or forgive that Trump, Rubio, & Musk *chose* to inflict this monumental level of death and suffering on the poorest & most vulnerable people.

You can joke about Pam Bondi’s ridiculous unprofessionalism all you want, but I’m deeply shocked by it: She acts as if she fears absolutely no consequences, convinced that there will be no more political power transfers. — This should shake everyone to their core.

As @willbunch.bsky.social said - "Shutdown crisis gives Dems a chance to take stand against tyranny". Will they??

One thing that comes through awfully clearly in these ICE videos is how many of these goons gravitated toward the job because being able to assault people with impunity is a big thrill for them.

It's clearly just been white supremacy by another name
