Trump In the Situation Room With a Boebert

In Chicago, the courage of good, everyday folks getting in the face of ICE/BP and fighting back is restoring my faith in America In DC, the cowardice of Senate Democrats has undermined it, again America needs a government as good as its people. My new column www.inquirer.com/columnists/a...

EVERY WORD OF THIS

Happy There Is A Circulatory System Walking Through The Kitchen Day to all who celebrate.

Not that he didn’t already know, but now Trump knows for sure he can roll the Dems every time and there’s no need to negotiate for anything

Dems have spent the past two months saying they're fighting to address the crisis of spiking healthcare costs and now they're caving for a deal that does nothing to address healthcare costs ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Any Democrat in Congress who would accept a promise from a Republican in Congress should undergo a cognitive test.

Dems backed Trump into a corner where he’s advocating for starving Americans and hemorrhaging support. If they vote to let him off the hook in exchange for nothing it’s a cataclysmic failure. I know people are in pain but insulating Republicans from political consequences is not the answer.

it doesn’t get any clearer that america’s betrothal to fossil fuels is about letting energy companies pick our pockets to prop up their obsolete industry

UK, what are you *doing*?! 😢

My thing is that if they take the house and senate in midterms, Dems should end the filibuster and keep sending popular bills to die on Trump’s desk. Show what you’ll pass if Trump is out of the way, show that he and his rotten party are the impediment.

If Senate Dems see this, and are still considering caving, I don’t even know what we’re doing any more. Trump continues to openly defy the courts and break the law. You can’t make a handshake deal with someone like that. It’s just not how it works.

if you’re in PA and considering not voting: don’t be a dumbass. skip everything else if you want but vote to retain the three Supreme Court justices on the ballot, it cannot be understated how important this is

Vote YES! Retain our judges!!

@ryanlcooper.com on the unusually expensive retention election for 3 Pennsylvania state Supreme Court seats, and what the Republican aims are: gerrymandering and a permanent majority, basically. prospect.org/2025/11/03/r...

Pennsylvania has an important Supreme Court race coming up on Tuesday, November 4. If you live in the Keystone State, or know someone who does, vote YES to retain three justices who will protect your fundamental rights and freedoms.

The media's complete lack of curiosity over our nearly 80 year old President's health when he has permanent bruising on his right hand, swollen ankles, facial drooping, disappeared for days from public view twice in the last 2 months and just had an unexplained MRI is notable

If Dems win the Supreme Court races in Pennsylvania in 9 days, it’s extremely likely the GOP can’t get a majority on that court until 2029. The GOP really wants to have this majority during the 2028 presidential race. Can’t put the stakes any more clearly than that. boltsmag.org/pennsylvania...

The fact that some prominent Democrats defend a Maine Senate primary candidate’s Nazi tattoo while he isn’t even leading in polls, but not defend a NYC mayor primary winner from false smears even as he’s leading general election polls says a lot. That doesn’t seem driven by voter preference.

1. Reagan’s speech is real 2. It’s public domain 3. Americans pay the cost of the added 10% tariffs, not Canadians 4. Trump keeps lying because he thinks you’re all too stupid to fact check 5. The average family will pay an extra $4900 this year because his tariffs

The fact that Republicans get upset about tearing down confederate monuments, but not demolishing the White House, says a lot.

Ireland! 💚

“Don’t want to lose SNAP? Tell the Dems to reopen the government!” SNAP assistance gets cut in the big beautiful bill too. Healthcare is slashed as well. They’re withholding food for 40 million Americans to try and force the Dems to sign off on cutting food AND healthcare!

Autocrats want you to feel like pushing back is hopeless. It’s not! Trump is a paper tiger. Most Americans don’t want this authoritarian takeover.

New, from me: Trump is prioritizing paying the armed forces over other federal employees during a shutdown. He is trying to win over the rank and file even as he tells military leaders to target “the enemy within.” 🧵 open.substack.com/pub/donmoyni...

It was never about a ballroom. "The bunker under the East Wing will also be upgraded, sources told CBS News. The White House Military Office is handling the renovation of the bunker, which is known as the President's Emergency Operations Center."

The optics of Trump building a ballroom that 99.9% of Americans will never set foot in while millions line up for food banks are worth more than any policy paper or economic proposal. This image is a visceral punch in the mouth that needs no words. It should haunt the GOP for a generation.

Bonus primary points to which ever Democrat promises to demolish whatever fucking monstrosity ballroom Trump builds

Mike Johnson’s refusal to seat Adelita Grijalva is bigger than just Epstein files. He’s laying groundwork to attempt to prevent winning Dems from taking office if House majority up for grabs in Nov 2026, as I told @briantylercohen.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=FSRY...

I'm not sure you can get more marie antoinette than taking away food stamps before thanksgiving while you build a gold and marble dance hall so the other crooks can bring bribe you over a badly-cooked (argentinian) steak

sorry, man, but this is breathtakingly, shockingly corrupt in every fucking way it can be, and an open and shut and uncomplicated case for impeachment. he didn’t even pay for these lawyers, his donors did, for fuck’s sake.

Democrats should be drawing up legislation right now, this very minute, to bar Trump from helping himself to $230 million in taxpayer funds from DOJ. Challenge Republicans to hold a vote on it. Push this so hard in the media that every GOP Senate and House candidate is pressed to comment on it.

I guess where I’m landing is less “oh no he’s a Nazi” and more “I just went through this shit with Fetterman and Sinema and a six year term is too long for me to take on faith that your Nazi tattoo was the accident but what you’re saying now is the truth.”

JHC don’t normal people ever run for office anymore?! Why do so many of our choices suck?!

Also, remember, apathy is the enemy. Authoritarians want you to give up in advance.

Oh it’s not appropriate for your program to air the president wearing a crown and shitting on American citizens? You’ll talk about it in euphemisms? Maybe call it the “crown video” and ignore the shitting part? Because that’s appropriate? Tell me, was it appropriate for the president to do it?

for the love of all that is holy WHY CAN YOU NOT DESCRIBE THE PLAIN REALITY OF THE VIDEO

I saw a tragically AI-generated version of this poster, so I have recreated a 100% human-made version for all your protest sign needs.

Americans would be wise to understand what the Stasi was. The East German secret police "sought to infiltrate every institution of society and every aspect of daily life," with files on 6 million citizens, more than 1/3rd of the population. The Trump regime is building its version of the Stasi. 1/2

the idea of antifa paying protesters is so funny. if i wanted to get paid to destroy the government i’d run for congress

Pennsylvania adopted a system of nonpartisan retention elections in 1968 with the explicit goal of insulating judges from political pressure. Since then, just one state judge has lost a retention race—but the GOP is now hoping to change that.

Remember folks. The original bluesky ethos by us bluesky elders (apparently I count?) is block and move on. Don't quote dunk, don't pick fights. Block, and move on. This is what made this site unpalatable to the right early on, and we can continue to make it unpalatable to them.

It’s tiresome at this point, but again, their entire pitch is “wouldn’t it be great if there were no such things as talent, craft, and skill,” and what that means is a bland, slop-filled world. www.businessinsider.com/marc-andrees...

happy 10 year anniversary to one of the most prophetic tweets of all time @cavalorn.bsky.social

Please be conscious if you protest this weekend that there are feds at the protest. They look like you and they sound like you, not like Steve Buscemi in that one clip with the skateboard. Thinking you can spot them is self delusion. Nobody you haven’t met needs to know your last name.

We are witnessing the most lawless behavior by a leader in American history, just daily, extraordinary abuses of power. National Democrats must speak out in a loud and clear voice against Trump's escalating authoritarianism. It is time now.
