i am begging democrats to take this threat to our elections as seriously as they take a fundraising deadline

When my Civ VI game gets really interesting

(AP) — More than 100 Venezuelans who were deported from the U.S. hours before the earthquakes are missing after their hotel collapsed. apnews.com/article/earthquake...

No one should give a shit about risky politics—I certainly don't. Donald Trump is demented and psychopathic, and he has control of a stockpile of 3700 nuclear weapons. *That* is the risk we should be talking about.

Breaking Politico: Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes plans to seek a *new* indictment against Trump allies who aided his quest to overturn the 2020 election, her office said after the state's high court shot down an effort to revive her sprawling first indictment against them.

Imagine how angry Americans would be if the media had adequately explained to them that Obama had secured a deal that was preventing Iran from getting a nuclear weapon and Trump blew it the fuck up.

It’s no big surprise that Trump’s DOJ is deleting all of the January 6th press releases from its website. Here’s the thing: I downloaded all of them in Feb. 2025 (that’s right, more than a year ago) suspecting that they’d do just that. And we’re working to post them all online, as are others.

Every official involved deserves to have their personal and professional lives wrecked

ZELENSKYY: We attack military targets in Russia, or their energy, which they sell to fund war. Russians deliberately target civilian objects: museums, schools, apartments. They destroyed this Chornobyl museum that we built for 40th anniversary just one month ago. Crazy assholes.

Kyiv right now ‼️ Fuck russia!

TN eliminated only majority-Black district AL, LA eliminating majority-Black districts SC planning to oust only Black Democrat since Reconstruction MS planning to oust only Black rep GA planning special session to eliminate majority-Black districts This is what return to Jim Crow looks like

Would be cool if media outlets would do their job and start reporting on the Russian mass slaughter of Ukrainians over the last few days, with them randomly throwing missiles and drones at our towns and cities onto busy streets, in broad daylight, to maximize casualties with zero military objectives

Archaeologists working at the ancient city of Oxyrhynchus in Egypt have unearthed a mummy with a passage from Homer’s “Iliad” stuck to its abdomen, in a first-of-its-kind discovery. https://cnn.it/4eTh33O

China is manufacturing roughly 70% of the world’s EVs, 80 percent of smart phones, 80% of lithium-ion batteries, and 90% of drones. Meanwhile, the Trump administration is spending tens of billions of dollars to bomb the Iranian regime to smithereens. wapo.st/4ui9QzJ

It’s insane this is legal. People around Trump are profiting off war and death. I’m introducing legislation ASAP to ban this.

@governorwalz.mn.gov tells @timmiller.bsky.social that he still doesn’t know the names of Alex Pretti’s killers. Watch and listen to the full conversation later today on the Bulwark Podcast.

The message of Trump’s letter to the prime minister of Norway signals that the president “genuinely lives in a different reality, one in which neither grammar nor history nor the normal rules of human interaction now affect him,” @anneapplebaum.bsky.social argues.

Jesus, legit insane

That is the combination that makes the South what it is, really. Confidence high. Information low.

This is murder.

In a letter to convicted sex offender Larry Nassar, Jeffrey Epstein appeared to reference his suicide plan—and mentioned Donald Trump. "Our president also shares our love of young, nubile girls. When a young beauty walked by he loved to ‘grab snatch.'" trib.al/kyM86fC

They booked a bunch of 14 year old models to come to a Mar A Lago party, told them to dress sexy and tried to ply them with alcohol.

Yoooooooooooooo

The Trump administration keeps threatening to interfere with the full release of the Epstein Files. To ensure there is no tampering with the files ahead of their legally-required release, we need an independent audit of who at the Justice Department had access. And when.

The GOP is pretending there’s no affordability crisis, and they hope you’ll pretend with them.

When we said democracy was on the ballot we weren't lying.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 85th day out of the last 97. 12 days of work in over 3 months. With full pay and benefits. The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown. It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

People are like “don’t repost Trump’s video of him wearing a crown and dumping shit on Americans!” To the contrary, I want everyone in America and beyond to see it. I think it perfectly encapsulates his entire attitude.

These people are evil. Never stop saying so. Don’t be intimidated into shutting up.

As I was saying…

The Slaughter of the Innocents. Again. It is staggering that we are not staggered by this. open.substack.com/pub/charlies...

These cops should lose their job and face charges. www.thebulwark.com/p/watch-trum...

"Liberals already ruined it" shows the plot here. These aren't impartial law enforcement officers protecting all citizens. They are partisan paramilitary militia, terrorizing domestic opponents.

I want you all to clearly understand our new reality. A mere tropical storm 400 miles away (from Martinique to Puerto Rico, or from central Bahamas to Miami) can intensify into a Category 4 cyclone like María in a matter of 24 hours. We’ve made our bed 🛏️ now we must lie in it.

After four months in the hell that is CECOT, Andry Hernández Romero is now free. @timmiller.bsky.social spoke to him in an exclusive interview about what he experienced, how he survived and how he plans to go forward. This is what he told Tim. 👇

Our country sent a young man to a foreign gulag where he was tortured and sexually assaulted. What do we owe him? @adriancarrasquillo.bsky.social for @thebulwark.com www.thebulwark.com/p/what-do-we...

📽️ WATCH: “The U.S. sent us to El Salvador so that El Salvador could do the dirty work that the U.S. couldn’t.” Hear from Juan José Ramos Ramos, Andry Omar Blanco Bonilla and Wilmer José Vega Sandia — three of 230+ Venezuelan men the Trump administration sent to CECOT — in their own words:

Leonardo José Colmenares Solórzano, a 31-year-old Venezuelan, wants the world to know that he was tortured over four months in a Salvadoran prison. He said guards stomped on his hands, poured filthy water into his ears and threatened to beat him.

The dam has burst

BREAKING: Senator Richard Durbin says that his office has obtained information that the Trump administration ordered all Epstein records that mentioned Donald Trump to be “flagged":

If you are inclined to gloat over the death of kids — or the death of ANYBODY — because they live in a place where 6 in 10 voted Trump instead of 5 in 10 or 4 in 10, then I think maybe you’re not here for the hunting.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

She’s right.

The President of the United States is a Russian asset. Fuck Trump.
