Trump is prepared to inflict even more pain on Americans to force Dems into submission “It’s hostage taking,” @warren.senate.gov “These are people that are playing with someone else’s chips. They’re not feeling this.” @andykimnj.bsky.social www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Vance: "On the sobrero thing, Hakeem Jeffries said it was racist [...] I honestly don't even know what that means. Like, is he a Mexican American?"

Vance: I'll tell Hakeem Jeffries righ now, if you help us reopen the government, the sombrero memes will stop.

JD Vance says that if the shutdown continues, the Trump adminikstratioon will be forced to conduct "layoffs" to ensure that "essential services" can continue to be funded. That is not how shutdowns work.

What a perfect formulation: “This is, in many ways, the dynamic that defines reactionary centrism: the right must be understood, but never blamed. The left can be blamed, but need not be understood.” www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/politics/709...

THE BLOOMS OF FALL SPROUT IN BROOKLYN

Fox guest says democrats conducting oversight at ICE facilities are actually inciting violence against ICE agents.

How is Fox covering the murder of migrants at an ICE facility?

DHS itself has confirmed that the victims were detainees but Noem and Vance have already jumped to reframe the attack as anti-law enforcement violence.

DHS Spox Tricia McLaughlin confirms that ICE detainees were among the injured in this morning's shooting.

another day, another misery inducing news story before 9AM.

Without doubt the most important thing written on this topic ever. Not exaggerating. @mikeduncan.bsky.social has the right of it. Essentially, following Obama with Trump represented the real end of the Empire, because it showed the rest of the world that we cannot ever be trusted again.

They let me out of the politics cage to talk to my favorite fanfiction author @senlinyu.bsky.social www.rollingstone.com/culture/cult...

The president cant pronounce "acetaminophen"

Trump claims unvaccinated people and people who take little to no medication have lower, virtually nonexistent Autism diagnoses within their communities.

“Everybody has a lifespan, and eventually you do get into some sort of decline phase. The United States is still enormously powerful, we’re not on the verge of disappearing from the great power equations of the Earth, but is this thing pushing itself towards some sort of terminal failure? Yeah, “

Was the fall of Rome this stupid? I spoke to Revolutions and History of Rome host @mikeduncan.bsky.social about the decline of empires, and the unraveling of America. Full interview at @rollingstone.com www.rollingstone.com/culture/cult...

I legit had to double check that it wasn’t a parody account.

What a week. Trump is mad at everyone and suing or censoring whoever he can get his hands on in the wake of Charlie Kirk’s assassination. America feels more insane than ever. @nikkimcr.bsky.social, @chrisjonesprod.bsky.social and @jacobjarvis.bsky.social unpack the latest ➡️ linktr.ee/americanfric...

I was reliably told celebrating political violence was cause for government reprisal and private sector termination.

Overcrowded cells. Unsanitary conditions. Limited access to food and water. These are the conditions that ICE has created at 26 Federal Plaza, which eleven elected officials sought to expose. Instead, they were arrested. They must be released right now — and inspectors let in.

as a woman i am simply not being sloppy enough.
