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)

Donald Trump, famed for moderating on <checks notes> trade

Seeing a lot of people pouring dirt on the Dodgers corpse now that Toronto is on the way to an insurmountable 3-2 series lead

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...

I don’t have any firm view on Mamdani because I’m not from NYC, but if the only thing Establishment Dems can offer up as a viable alternative is Cuomo, that paints a fairly damning picture of Establishment Dems. It suggests that the pipeline is corroded and this isn’t a branding issue.

154 days down. Only 1,307 days to go

The creator of the Torment Nexus from the classic sci-fi novel called Don't Create the Torment Nexus has endorsed Andrew Cuomo

there is simply no way to reconcile the concept of rule of law with the behavior of the six conservatives on the supreme court, and leaving the court in this state indefinitely is untenable for any administration that wishes to restore it

The media does 500 stories about "are the Democrats commiting political suicide by deposing deportations?!" when Trump is +2% on immigration, but when Trump is 20 points underwater on Iran they don't ask the same thing about Republicans. It's interesting!

Make AUMFs Great Again

Here's a 2013 throwback:

It's "amazing" how the pundits portraying Trump as the anti-war candidate managed to ignore both his decision to unilaterally tear up JCPOA and the obvious reason warmongers in the administration wanted him to do that bsky.app/profile/hilz...

Here’s the thing: If you are the cleverest little boy because you surprise strike Iran two days after saying you’ll give them up to two weeks for diplomacy, how do you expect them to trust anything you promise going forward?

It’s pretty funny how all the MAGA people pretended to hate neocons and Bush style foreign policy and the split fucking second they get the chance to do it they’re like damn sounds awesome freedom isn’t free

“intimidation masking as victimhood.” It’s always projection with MAGA. They’re the ones calling in the marines on the pretext of a riot.

Idk man but when the administration that tried to reject humanitarian aid for Los Angeles when it was burning tries to justify their illegal military occupation by saying they aren’t going to let LA burn it kinda sounds like bullshit

You have no obligation to defend or explain the behavior of random street protesters. We have a lawless government that is flagrantly violating its legal, moral, even philosophical obligations to us. Everything else is secondary

So many group chats are being torn apart right now
