The thing to understand here is that the lying is not meant to be believable. It’s intentionally over-the-top precisely so that the intended audience at Mar-a-Lago will recognize it as a lie and, consequently, a display of service that deserves credit.

"I'm coming to Boston and I'm bringing hell with me." --Homan in February "Do I expect violence to escalate? Absolutely." -- Tom Homan in March "I actually thought about getting up and throwing that man a beating right there in the middle of the room" -- Homan in July, referring to a D congressman

You assholes put Rümeysa Öztürk in an unmarked van for writing a milquetoast op-ed

Apparently disrespecting law enforcement is disrespecting the law, but following law enforcement is not following the law.

No tariffs ruling today from SCOTUS

Looks like it took them just under two hours to confirm their talking points.

Exonerated?

It’s always “America is the greatest country but we simply could not accomplish something that multiple other countries have.”

Working-class solidarity in this case means all the black and brown workers have to just accept working alongside the white lady who hurls racial epithets. And if she’s comfortable enough to call the customer slurs, how do you think her coworkers fare?

Curious how CNN calls the Dem health care bill a “similarly partisan bill” when the Dem bill got four Republican votes (and the Republican bill lost one Republican vote) @mtsw.bsky.social why would CNN give the GOP this helpful frame?

How are we still doing this 2017 bit in 2025?

Eat it, John Roberts

Todd Blanche would have had these emails before interviewing Maxwell. Why didn’t he question her directly about her exchanges? Why did he not follow up when she said things that were onviously a lie?? This shows that was a performance intended to dupe the public and benefit her (and Trump)

I genuinely believe that one of our few paths to defeat this authoritarian attack is to get lucky with SCOTUS seats. We need GOP dysfunction keeping at least 2 of Alito/Thomas/Roberts on the bench into 2027. And we need to retake the Senate so we can keep Trump from replacing all three.

If 40 million people go hungry, it would be because the Trump administration ignored a court order, not because Democrats fought for Article I powers.

Every single workday… “Adobe Continuous Update needs to close all of your pdfs to install an important update.” *Three minutes later…* “Installation failed.” (presumably because some admin access is required)

Are these examples of Charlie preaching the greatness of America?

Trump administration taking food out of Americans’ mouths, money out of farmer’s pocket.

Maine Dems:

A play in three acts

it makes me incandescently furious that roberts invented the idea of banning coercive conditions on funding to kill medicaid expansion and refuses to do a single thing about the fact that the trump administration's entire deal is "coercive conditions on funding"

Hillary Clinton referred to SOME Trump supporters as”deplorable,” and the political media had a meltdown. Trump refers to all Democrats as anti-American radical communists and “the enemy within,” and it’s no big deal. His reckless and dangerous demonization has been fully normalized.

hello 911? yea its me again…uh huh thats right, theyre still posting his exact quotes

Look we can’t ban guns or next thing you know secret government police will disappear people without due process

Time to deploy the national guard from various states to Utah.

Pure joy:

The way the NYT is covering Leader Jeffries’ magic minute speech and covered Speaker Pelosi’s similar effort vs how it covered McCarthy doing the same thing.

Decent chance Democrats regain the WH in 2028 and then lose in 2032 because the public forgets who was president when they lost health insurance. Just like people think covid started under Biden.

Congrats to swing states, I guess.

BREAKING: All Republicans are, in fact, Republican

No the concern is that it chose the vehicle because it’s sympathetic to the administration *and* this timing gives good reason to be pessimistic that SCOTUS will faithfully maintain this view of nationwide injunctions for a future Dem president. 4 years under Biden: Go! 3 months under Trump: Stop!

SCOTUS made the fight here about left versus right because they let a Democratic administration be subject to universal injunctions for four years, showing no interest in this question. Then a Republican takes office and SCOTUS takes this case up three months later and fast tracks it.

“The majority of this country is in the middle—not on the fringes to the left, and not on the fringes to the right.” She says in reference to a country littered with failed attempts to build up a third party.

Bluesky

A dictatorship, if you can keep it.

The Biden administration was hampered by the filibuster and nationwide injunctions. Reforms to both issues were rejected based on fear that “you’ll want these checks when the GOP is back in charge.” Within 6 months of Trump taking office, the absurdity of that caution is now exposed. Wake up

Trump DOJ takes a page from the belligerent pro se playbook, now suing judges

Trump announced a ceasefire between Israel and Iran. He didn’t mention anything precluding further US attacks.

New data show that ICE is pulling record numbers of people off the streets who have no criminal convictions of any kind. This is not just a change from the Biden admin. This is a radical tactical shift compared to Trump 1.0. These arrests are up over 1,000% from 2017. www.cato.org/blog/ice-arr...
