These statements he makes are purely more red meat for his followers. It's a dead-ass skinflint cheap way to make them feel smart. "I'm smarter than average, I know how to spell 'dumb'!" And if you call him out, you're elitist.

it is in absolutely everybody’s best interests to develop some hobbies aside from Phone

Authority is not a skill set

Trump ultimately represents the outsourcing of neoconservative neofacism to outside groups. There will never be another DJT. But there will always be massive, wealthy groups financing politicians to do their bidding. They don't need a new DJT, they've already proven their model.

More Dems should talk like Paulina Mangubat, who was doxed by Stephen Miller's wife after deriding him as an "ugly f--k." Check out my interview with her here. She recognizes something essential about how MAGA abusiveness really works in today's information wars: newrepublic.com/article/2111...

“I promise you Jeff you’re dead wrong!” @sanders.senate.gov slams Jeff Bezos on the first episode of our new show On Sunday with @jackcocchiarella.bsky.social premiering tomorrow 12pm EST!

36. No true son of the working class can pretend like that. He knows that if he fails, he fails *downward*. (And if he gets a second chance, he’s *lucky*.) There is no time for such childish make-believe. He can’t afford it. www.editorialboard.com/why-graham-p...

35. I said at the top that my interest in Platner is personal, not political. This is why. He has no idea what the struggle is. I’m sure he has had his own, but the struggle he wants Mainers to believe is his is not his.

I have just realised a fundamental truth about Donald Trump. When he says he's "Six Feet and Three Inches" that's actually two separate measurements. And he's rounding up both of them.

"The pitchforks are coming." "They're already out and it's gonna get worse and worse." @karaswisher.bsky.social and @timmiller.bsky.social on the ultra-rich retreating into a “cashmere prison” of private comfort while the backlash against their greed gets uglier.

NOICE

There is not a grand jury in America that will indict E. Jean Carroll. We see you.

Donald Trump is sending the Justice Department after a woman he raped.

1. On Monday, I went to the Stop & Shop and had that old familiar feeling. I spent over $80 on a bag of groceries. Nothing fancy, just regular groceries, not even everything I need for the week. One bag. Eighty United States dollars. Something's gotta give. Maybe it already has.

▪️If the current pace of the Armed Forces of Ukraine continues, Russia may lose the chance to capture the entire Donetsk region. ▪️In a few months, Russia's resources may begin to be critically depleted. ▪️The Ukrainian military is already preparing for more active mechanized actions.

A PhD student at Stanford noticed her classmates were asking Al to write their breakup texts. So she ran a study. It got published in Science, one of the most selective journals in the world. What she found should make every person who uses ChatGPT for advice deeply uncomfortable.

🔥 @repcohen.bsky.social : “Don’t tell me, John Roberts, The Supreme Court is not political. It is an arm of the White House. 🇺🇸 is being destroyed from within 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.” #Memphis #JimCrow #RacistRedistricting

Who was president on January 6, 2021? It depends who you ask.

i cant believe tom steyer is the first dem politician (that ive seen) to proudly and forcefully make this correct and obvious counter argument to the bigotry but im glad he did

Consumer sentiment is political now because apparently groceries and gas joined Antifa.

Donald Trump on his son Don, Jr., who is just about to get married: "He’s a person I’ve known for a long time." I'm not crying—you're crying!—at such touching, personal sentimentality. #Sociopaths

Every once in a while, I go on a @billybragg.bsky.social listening binge... Which makes my lovely wife give me side-eye as she evaluates how long my binge may last. youtu.be/S9lP0VUxrQs

Did russia assist the US in fighting it's war against terror? No, our ally Ukraine did. russia sponsered the terror.

I’m not kidding whenever my answer to “how do you pay for it” is “take it from the cops”. If you give everyone enough food, crime goes down. If crime goes down, then you can spend less on cops. Cops exist downstream of problems. Keep doing this for every problem and you keep spending less on cops

This is atrocious. Donald Trump’s former personal criminal defense lawyer, now serving as Acting Attorney General of the United States, signed a one-page document in which the United States government “RELEASES, WAIVES, ACQUITS, and FOREVER DISCHARGES” Donald Trump, his sons, his businesses,

Many of you are asking how you can help me. My only ask is this: Spread the word about the threats to democracy and how we can fight back. Tell everyone to subscribe to Democracy Docket for free and share its content with everyone you know. Thanks. bit.ly/4a7l1TR

That extra $45 billion you paid is just the appetizer; the real feast is nearly a quarter-trillion dollars of excess Big Oil profit coming out of your pockets over the rest of this year.

the president is raiding the treasury to put your tax dollars into this mans personal checking account as a reward for what hes doing in this picture

1/ I fact-checked a viral video claim: Israel is paying a firm to geofence big US churches and push pro-Israel, anti-Palestinian messaging to worshippers’ phones. It’s real, and it raises major privacy and influence-operation questions. #DV1 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy

Iranian Parliamentary Speaker Mohammad-Bagher Ghalibaf - the man Trump thought he could negotiate with - has been appointed Iran’s special representative for China affairs, Tasnim reports.

Nobody here needs me to tell them not to do this but Jesus Christ in a Cadillac do not do this.

Thoughts for people living in safe blue cities and states: Alabama is the birthplace of the Civil Rights Movement. People bled and died for our right to vote. #AllRoadsLeadToTheSouth 🧵

Russian media claim Russia handed over 526 bodies of dead Ukrainian soldiers and supposedly received 41 bodies of Russian occupiers.

There are a lot of war hawks for whom directly attacking Iran was a bucket list item, some even on the blue side of the fence. Trump is the "dog that caught the car" for them. He attacked, clipped their wings, and is making the case, with full control of the US military, for a non-nuclear Iran...

I'm an atheist, but I'm starting to think that there is a God and that he sent Trump to test Christians but they failed. So he kept making easier and easier tests for them until he eventually sent a literal golden calf, and they still can't figure it out lol.

I wish I didn’t know as much about the end of Reconstruction as I do. If you understood what is being unleashed now, how it will touch every aspect of our civic life, and how difficult it will be to undo it, you wouldn’t be able to think about anything else.

This is the world's worst drinking game. ...Every time trump claims Iran is losing, gas prices jump a dime.

"Sometimes they're very strong but cry and sometimes they need just hugs." President Zelenskyy on how meeting the families of fallen soldiers is one of the hardest parts of his job.

Compare Zelenskyy to Trump who just last year played golf during the return of 4 troops who died overseas. He stopped going to Dover and insulted gold star families many times www.huffpost.com/entry/donald...

its true that i dont understand how the supreme court operates. for example do you get the free RV and house for your mom before or after issuing favorable rulings? is it a *wink wink* deal or more explicit? these are the things the general public doesnt understand

“I recognized your foul stench when I was brought on board.”

I was today years old when I learned President of the heritage foundation (Kevin Robert’s) got a PHD in American History w/ a concentration in African American History. He studied us & slavery & created Project 2025 as a way to try to do slavery better. This is his dissertation:

I've been pondering the nature of Trump's ICE as a national crime syndicate. Today a post by @muellershewrote.com inspired me to make the connection to the former Wagner Group run by "Putin's Chef," Prigozhin. Does anybody else see the similarities?

I firmly believe the current level of funding for ICE, combined with its weird untouchable legal status, secrecy, and also being a home for right-wing militia members and J6ers make its current form tantamount to standing up an autonomous, extralegal nationwide crime syndicate.

In December SCOTUS claimed it was too close to election to block Texas gerrymander but now allowing Southern states to straight up cancel elections to resurrect Jim Crow

Best case scenario for Trump is Iran relinquishing control of Hormuz. Best case scenario for Iran is failed US mil. operation and utilizing Hormuz as leverage for larger deal, regional arrangement. Best case scenario for Europeans & Asia is a deal that reopens Hormuz, ends war
