sorry, WHAT???? an earthquake just hit the people who don't have any power???????? jesus christ what a nightmare

My favorite personal Joe Kent moment was right after the 2020 election where I had to insist, plead, beg him to understand that the Supreme Court wasn't going to hold a jury trial to determine if the Italians had used secret satellites to steal the election.

Thune says the quiet part out loud about the filibuster. Democrats can just quote this when they finally win a majority willing to abolish it

On the one hand, U.S. law does in fact prohibit POTUS from unilaterally withdrawing from NATO. On the other hand, if POTUS refuses to discharge U.S. obligations under Article V of the NATO treaty, Congress does not have a lot of great options to respond in real time.

Last month the NYT said AOC "struggled" to give an answer on Taiwan and quoted her with "uhs" and "ums" to make her look stupid Yesterday talking about Hormuz Trump claimed he's heard from "numerous countries" and said "uh" four times. The NYT deleted the "uhs" and paraphrased him to look smarter:

Yes, you do.

Translation: No one is willing to bail me out of the war I started without consulting anyone.

Trump: "Bc of the fact we have had such Military Success, we no longer 'need,' or desire, the NATO Countries’ assistance — WE NEVER DID! Likewise, Japan, Australia, or South Korea. In fact, speaking as President of US, by far the Most Powerful Country Anywhere, WE DO NOT NEED THE HELP OF ANYONE!"

Yes,the emerging line is wily, ruthless Israel tricked poor, trusting, naive Donald Trump into a stupid, reckless war. GMAFB. Israel has absolutely pushed for this but ultimately it’s DONALD TRUMP who decided to take the US to war. He likes war! He likes blowing things up! He literally says it’s fun

You may be inclined to amplify Joe Kent right now because of concerns over the Iran war. Don’t. He’s an extremist with deep ties to Nazi sympathizers and Holocaust deniers who never should have been in this role in the first place (sadly one of many in this administration). 1/

Netanyahu sucks, AIPAC sucks, but "we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby" is just code for "blame Jews." Trump wasn't forced to do this. Trump's supporters—like Kent—weren't forced to elect him and embolden him. They're not absolved of any responsibility.

Trump’s abduction of Maduro and public rhapsodizing over his confidently expected conquest of Cuba also don’t fit Kent’s thesis. The bellicose behavior is coming from inside the house.

Dr. Badar Khan Suri should have never been detained in the first place. We will not rest until he is free, for good.

My own take on Joe Kent is that he's a despicable Nazi who reached the right conclusion on Iran but did so partly because of his vile antisemitism, yet it's still a good development because it shows how Trump's base is further fracturing, which could hasten Trump's downfall Does that make sense?

Joe Kent is neither the worst person you know making a good point nor a broken clock; he’s a notorious antisemite and white supremacist who is blaming Jews to get out of a real job that’s quite difficult right now as we increasingly explode the world and create the conditions for terrorism.

"We're not going to litigate whether the supposed need for this legislation that would contract voting access exists."

Can it be called boots on the ground if the troops are all wearing size 15 Florsheims

Q: Can you give one example of fraud in a previous election that the SAVE America Act would stop? MIKE JOHNSON: Look, we're not gonna litigate all that

Trump withheld $250 million in Minnesota's Medicaid funds (likely illegally) claiming rampant fraud, even as the feds own data show MN has a 2% payment error rate, compared to 8.7% in South Carolina. Meanwhile Trump is buying luxury jets w/taxpayer $ and pardoning perpetrators of Medicare fraud

The “green new deal” would have decreased Irans leverage. Except of course it was never a thing.

Baltic Sea is about to welcome false flagged tanker GRIF 9332028 heading for Russia. She is 19 years old and was last inspected by Russia in 2024 with deficiencies in life boats, doors and "dangerous areas". Sanctioned by EU, UK and Switzerland. Passed inside DK without a hiccup.

The dementia-ravaged president is increasingly spewing nonsense and acting erratically, with dangerous consequences for the entire world and it seems like that really should be all we're talking about.

New from @pamherd.bsky.social & I: Trump's insane press conference did reflect one real goal: his willingness to lie about fraud to limit access to safety net services, even as his administration goes on an unchecked crime spree. 🧵 donmoynihan.substack.com/p/one-bad-id...

This is the recent piece referenced 🙏 www.greatpower.us/p/wars-of-in...

Got so made about Trump's lies about immigrants and fraud that I wrote about it. Please read and share! bsky.app/profile/donm...

Gholamreza Soleimani is reportedly dead. This war is awful—murdered school kids, environmental & economic damage, geopolitics, etc.—but I shed no tear for him. Head of the Basij, a violently repressive govt-backed militia, with tons of blood on his hands, including thousands of recent protestors.

FLASHBACK: “I don’t want everybody to vote— our leverage in elections goes up as the voting populace goes down.” Heritage Foundation & ALEC co-founder Paul Weyrich told us what the “SAVE” Act is really about — saving Trump and Republicans from voters

Hassett: "If the war were to be extended, it wouldn't really disrupt the US economy very much at all. It would hurt consumers, and we'd have to think about what we'd have to do about that, but that's really the last of our concerns right now."

Our government is run by extremely serious and sober people.

not trying to be mean or pick a fight but humanoid robots are 100% a manifestation of a deep-seated desire to have slaves

Empathy is not a narcissistic psychopath's strong suit.

Does Trump think there is a limitless number of ex-presidents, making this claim impossible to confirm or deny?

Anddddd there it is.

President Trump told reporters Monday that one of his predecessors told him he wished he had been the one to bomb Iran. It appears he did not speak to any of the four former presidents.

If you tried to invent the most depraved US foreign policy it would look like this. No ideological principles, no geopolitical strategy, just corrupt interest & a bottomless appetite for Content

NEW: The Trump administration is seeking to oust the president of Cuba, Miguel Díaz-Canel, in its talks with Cuban political leaders. It plans to allow the Castro family to keep power if they agree to economic changes, creating a client state for the US. Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2026/03/16/w...

When I read Alex Jones' text messages in 2023, a big theme in them was Jones asking staffers for vodka, often before lunch: www.splcenter.org/resources/ha...

collective punishment is a war crime

Trump’s & Rubio's 3-month blockade of Cuba has created a dire humanitarian situation, inflicting collective punishment on the Cuban people. They are doubling down on over 65 years of a failed, bankrupt Cuba policy. We must reverse course now. www.cbsnews.com/miami/news/c...

Trump's full rant on Cuba: "Cuba, in its own way, tourism and everything else, it's a beautiful island, great weather. They're not in a hurricane zone, which is nice for a change, you know? They won't be asking us for money for hurricanes every week. I do believe I'll have the honor of taking Cuba."

Hypothesis on how his brain works re: regime change. Trump thinks that he embodies the state and the nation, and so he thinks that every other country's leader does the same. So if you kidnap Maduro, you beat Venezuela. You kill Khomeini, you beat Iran. Etc, etc.

just plainly evil.

"Your Honor, I ask the court -- does this sound like the kind of man who would force himself on an innocent child?"

Yes, Donald Trump once did a deal with oligarchs who were tied to Revolutionary Guard of Iran. I know, you're surprised, right? www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Ukraine had a plan to take down Putin. Then Trump intervened to prop Putin up and fend off the threat. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/e...

Really seems like Trump is unable to register about IQ without referencing a woman of color, even if they are completely disconnected from whatever topic he is rambling on about.

Ummmmm wow

Hey everyone remember this tweet from a week ago? Tell me again how this is going exactly as planned?
