Notice this: Trump just ordered death-penalty enforcement in D.C....a power flex when he feels cornered. This isn’t bravado. It’s a sign of escalating fear. HIS fear. When the tough talk turns into extreme law...panic is disguised as strength.

While the senile old man rides in carriages around castles, builds his ballroom, puts gold on everything, plans parades, attends a variety of sporting events, threatens people, and reads the scripts put in front of him, this psychopath is the one actually running the country.

be ready for more and more of this because Trump/DOGE gutted the FDA.

Ron Brownstein: “Do we want to live in a country where the president can, in effect, order the Justice Department to find a crime for someone who he dislikes or disfavors? It was the Head of Stalin’s Secret Police who famously said: ‘Give me the man and I will find the crime.’”

I already feel it with the tariffs…

this is christian nationalism on full display. this is the most consequential moment in our countries history. this cannot stand, if it does america is finished

A lot of people who couldn’t pass a 9th grade science test right now suddenly think they are experts in advanced drug metabolism and glutathione cycling

Clarence Thomas likens old rulings that protect our rights to trains driven by monkeys.

“The number of necessary troops is zero.” Portland Mayor Keith Wilson

A secret apology for making a violent threat against the U.N.? Anyone working at a normal place would have been fired. "Jesse Watters had privately apologized to U.N. global communications chief Melissa Fleming after the U.N. contacted Fox News about the remarks he made in a Tuesday broadcast"

It’s funny because it isn’t 😕 🇺🇸

"It's absurd to think that … the government of the United States that [the people] pay for, that they vote for, is really in service of one man. ... He is using every arm of the government to create pleasure for himself … and also to seek vengeance upon his enemies."

Live from "war ravaged" Portland

Too funny

It’s a fact. Data from three decades of political violence reveals that right-wing terror attacks outnumber attacks from the left. And it’s not even close!

They are so afraid of this they won’t seat a newly elected Congresswoman from AZ to keep it from happening.

Nobody cares about the victims in the Dallas ICE shooting apparently. The first I've heard about one of them was on CNN today. He's fighting for his life in the hospital --- he was brought to the US when he was 13. He's 33 now. No criminal record. I just don't know what to say anymore.

Trump just ordered the military into Portland, and he’s giving them the green light to use lethal force on American citizens. Authoritarianism is an abstract concept but Trump is making its impacts real and tangible. Let’s be real about it: This is the beginning of dictatorship in America.

If we’re renaming departments and calling the DOD the “Department of War”, we might as well go ahead and make the DOJ the “Department of Revenge”

Ossoff: "We have a president who's completely out of control, a crook engaged in unprecedented corruption, who's passing one of the most unpopular agendas in history. The public is turning against him. The opposition is motivated. We can win & we have to win, but we don't have the luxury of despair"

We currently have a Supreme Court that seriously claims (with no explanation) that the current occupant of the Presidency suffers irreparable harm by having to follow existing law, the constitutionality of which has never before been in doubt or even questioned.

The fact that “hemorrhoids” aren't called “asteroids” is a major missed opportunity for science, health, and the English language

Political cartoon of the week and that's saying something as the competition is fierce these days. Not bad @fiona-webster22.bsky.social what do you think?

Even in his most fevered, drunken dreams, Richard Milhous Nixon couldn't possibly have even imagined doing a tenth of this shit.

The rules have changed. Mike Johnson wants to wait until the official results come in October 14th to swear in Grijalva.

So even with no defense attorney there to cross examine witnesses, no defense witnesses, nobody challenging the authenticity of any of the evidence, Halligan was still only able to convince barely half the jurors when the standard isn’t even proof beyond a reasonable doubt.

Let's see if he's for overturning LOVING V. VIRGINIA Let's see if his wife Ginni agrees with that one. abcnews.go.com/Politics/jus...

Put more money in his crypto so he can scam you more!

They certainly have honed their playbook of how to exploit people they couldn’t care less about.

Van Hollen: Let me emphasize that anyone who believes we're heading towards authoritarian rule is mistaken. We're already there.

Being a House member since Mike Johnson became speaker is a pretty easy gig since he only has it in session about 18 days a year.

Pay attention to the way Trump & RFK Jr speak about people with autism and other disabilities. They act like it’s a fate worse than death. Like we’re an aberration that must be “corrected”. Like disability is a failure that is not to be tolerated. It’s not compassion, it’s eugenics.

America is bailing out Argentina, while Argentine farmers sell soybeans to China instead of American farmers, thereby bankrupting them, which is why America also have to bail out American farmers. If this is considered winning, I fear what losing looks like.
