So preposterously unconstitutional, but also: active duty military payroll is more than $3b **per week.** This is a pittance of that. It has nothing to do with helping out the troops- they want to establish the precedent that Trump can bypass Congress and fund the government with anonymous bribes.

So they didn’t like the ad. Let’s just post Reagan’s 5 min speech against tariffs as it appears on YouTube. Over and over. On all platforms (some of y’all are still on X). *1981 Sherrilyn horrified by 2025 Sherrilyn saying “let’s post Reagan’s speech.” youtu.be/5t5QK03KXPc

“For years, conservatives loudly complained that government spending was opaque, that their hard-earned dollars were being secretly misused, and that the government definitely did not need all the money it was taking from them. That was always hyperbole … until now.”

This stone is actually at the FDR Memorial. Even so, I hope the next lawfully elected president, should we ever have another, pursuant to and in accordance with a statute duly enacted by a functioning Congress, should we ever have another, will have it permanently displayed in the Oval Office.

a live look this morning at the demolished East Wing of the White House

Donald Trump just did something truly awful and is hoping you won't notice. He fired all of the special education staff at the Department of Education. What kind of person abandons kids with special needs?

You ever watch a movie and want to talk to someone about it but everyone is either uninterested or an idiot?

Trump wants us to believe he's unstoppable But social scientists have found that 52% of all attempts to build autocracies are relatively quickly reversed by democratizing "U-Turns" — and, within the last 30 years, this number has risen to 73%

500% less. I struggled through Algebra II, but I'm pretty sure they're not going to be giving me my prescriptions and paying me four times what they cost. He lies without even attempting to make sense at this point.

Putin bombed a kindergarten.

Trump has believed, since his first term, that the U.S. treasury is his personal piggy bank (as he did with his personal charity). The entire purpose of his presidency is to funnel as much of it as he can to himself and his family

Know what was in the East Wing? The First Lady’s offices and 80+ years of First Lady history. Eleanor Roosevelt. Mamie Eisenhower. Jacqueline Kennedy. Laura Bush. Michelle Obama. Gone. Wanna bet that’s why Trump chose it? Ain’t like Melania is using it.

I am completely awestruck by the ease with which Mike Johnson lies on a daily basis. I'll never understand how such a transparently fraudulent "man of faith" can live with themselves. Life is too short to be that phony.

man who tried to slash social security spending promises communism is coming if you just ignore the enormous job losses this year due to the technology he's developing for private profit

“We fight. We fight like hell. And if you don’t fight like hell, you’re not gonna have a country anymore”. - Donald Trump We need to FIGHT. youtu.be/9mPKUNVlsrY?...

If you missed this yesterday, it’s just as jaw-dropping a read today. The quotes are really something.

I think everyone knew exactly what point Trump was making dropping shit on Americans.

The Speaker of the House: “Trump isn’t a King yet, but he should be if you want the government to function!”

The entire "free speech on campus" moral panic was manufactured to blackmail us into making space in intellectual life for bigots and charlatans who couldn't get there on their own merits. Its a DEI scheme for fascism. Congratulations to everyone who took it at face value.

Boise Idaho #NoKings 10k people said enough

A beautiful Bald Eagle circled overhead during our protest in Burnsville Minnesota and the crowd went wild #NoKings #Minnesota

The Preamble to the Constitution began with three magic words and they were not “I, the King.”

#nokings Portland frog brigade

Warnock: We should all be deeply concerned about an American president. who stood in front of our military and said that the real concern is the enemy within They are trying to divide us so that they might rule us, but we join united with one voice

No Kings Denver speaker Joe Salazar (fmr Dem state rep) tells me they estimate 25-30k gathered in Denver today, similar to the No Kings protest earlier this year. This view is from photographer Cheney Orr for the New York Times. #copolitics

Hasan: Let me say to every Republican and conservative watching. Aren't you the ones that said no more big government? No tyranny in America? If you believe that, what are you doing defending masked federal agents in unmarked cars bundling people off the streets

#NoKings Miami!

Concerned about today. It’s the Russian playbook to insinuate bad actors into events like today.

I am constantly surprised by how stupid some of my smartest friends can be.

heartbroken to learn the pope sympathizes with the poor. how can i continue to believe in god

Secretary Bessent says he might reveal photos of Chinese parts in Russian drones. Is the Trump Admin trying to break last year's news? How about making real headlines? End the 9-month pause on targeted Russia sanctions. We're losing leverage to end Putin’s war.

Bernie and AOC made clear that they want MAGA to have healthcare as much as they want Democrats to have healthcare. That's what they were there to talk about at this week's CNN town hall, not a primary challenge.

Stopping people and demanding papers, and when one when a Latina woman even *had her US passport* with her, they detained her because her name "didn't sound Latino", so they didn't believe it was real. So much for Kavenaugh's insistence that... (1/2)

Jimmy Kimmel on AG Pam Bondi blaming Antifa for the chaos in our cities: “There's no chaos in Portland. None. There is no chaos in Chicago. There was no chaos in Los Angeles. They're pretending there's chaos as a pretense for a military takeover." ht: @mollyploofkins.bsky.social

Swearing in isn’t some ceremony. You aren’t a member of Congress until it happens. He knows that. No phones, no staff, nothing. I had to escort her into the Capitol on Wed bc Capitol police must treat her as a public visitor until she’s sworn in. And solo visitors aren’t allowed during shutdown!
