The entire Republican Party strategy for achieving what are comprehensively & wildly unpopular policy objectives now consists entirely of bypassing Article I of the Constitution through wildly illegal abuses of both Article II and Article III.

A 3,000-pound, 17-foot-long "DEMOCRACY" ice sculpture is melting away on the National Mall today, a statement from activists and artists on the weakened state of American democracy under the Trump administration. www.huffpost.com/entry/democr...

For JD Vance “free Palestine” is intolerable antisemitism that must be destroyed while “I love Hitler” is just silly fun.

He keeps saying this, even though Jack Smith didn't join the classified docs case until a few months after the raid. But since he keeps doing this on Fox News, where they are on the same team, he won't get called out on it.

Tim Walz: "The biggest myth is that this guy understands business. He's an absolute abject failure at business ... the irony is calling Democrats socialists when I am begging for free markets here to allow capitalism to work. Donald Trump is the one with government interference."

Trump claims ICE’s reign of terror in Chicago is targeting the “worst of the worst.” But out of the 1,000 undocumented immigrants that have swept up, the agency has only cited 10 men with a criminal background. Don’t believe his lies for a second. www.msnbc.com/msnbc/news/t...

The military has now killed 27 people as if they were enemy soldiers in a war zone and not criminal suspects. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/14/u...

The entire first two months of the Biden administration were taken up by obsessive complaining about how he wouldn't do press conferences & wasn't taking policy questions (bsky.app/profile/mcop...). This? Gone tomorrow. Totally different set of standards applied to two totally different parties.

The hatred is the platform

Recall that fitness standards were downgraded during the Bush #ForeverWars bc they had such a hard time recruiting able bodies...

Unless and until some kind of compelling legal and moral argument is presented as to why this is a legitimate use of deadly force, this is just…mass murder.

California voters, are you paying attention? North Carolina Republicans are redrawing the map to hand Trump another seat. They’re bragging about locking down Congress for him. Prop 50 isn’t optional, it’s how we fight back. #YesOnProp50

😆😆😆😆

"The DOJ will continue engaging tech companies to *eliminate platforms* . . ." This is your daily reminder Bondi specifically, and MAGA generally, spent the last 4 years accusing the Biden admin of jawboning tech companies to take down content in violation of the 1A.

Exactly. Does anyone remember that a hostage deal was negotiated before the monster took office??Trump told Netanyahu not to do it.This whole thing was to keep bibi as a leader and get tRump in office. Thousands of people died. They are both war criminals for their resorts.

Oh, I get the feeling destroying our peace and prosperity twice will be hard to beat www.axios.com/2025/10/13/t...

Promoting the editor-in-chief's personal side project. Zero named sources in a story that promotes the editor-in-chief's personal political position. Misspelling the subject's name. It took one day for CBS News to become a conservative blog. www.cbsnews.com/video/some-n...

Was it ... ANTIFA!?!

If only the people of Gaza and Ukraine had access to good costumes, maybe the slaughter they've suffered could have been averted, and perhaps, perhaps, the US would have sent troops to help in their warzones

The case against Comey is beyond weak. The case against James is worse. It is based on a lie, and they know they're lying because exculpatory evidence that contradicts the indictment had already been presented to a grand jury in another jurisdiction. Everyone involved with this needs to be disbarred

This is the fucking Prussian constitutional crisis. If you let them fund the military without Congressional authorization you've just given up on constitutional government. Congress is a dead letter.

Picture how big the Hoover Dam is. An absolute unit. The Hoover Dam has a power capacity of 2 gigawatts (GW). The solar farm that the Admin just cancelled could have produces 6.2 GW of power. That's more than 3 Hoover Dams.

Try to imagine if federal agents under a Democratic administration had fired pepper balls at conservative clergy protesting--- let's just say --- abortion. They've litigated and won Supreme Court cases over much less. bsky.app/profile/jack...

If appropriations bills are not seen as enforceable contracts, why should any Member of Congress vote to fund any part of the federal government under Donald Trump? You're voting to provide money for lawlessness. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/there-is-n...

One of the more incredible stories out of LA this year has been how a taco review blog became the best on-the-ground coverage of ICE raids in the city. They do a dispatch every day, follow-up on the kidnapped people (which almost no media outlet has done), and fact-check government claims.

What Americans Die from? And what the media reports on... Our World in Data ourworldindata.org/does-the-new...

Kinda rich that the national media that failed miserably with its bothsiding and sanewashing (granted @theatlantic.com did better than most) is now chiding the Dems for being unserious www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/...

Hopefully someone at the @CDC or someone smarter than me can explain how/why perforated appendicitis qualifies for "infection present at surgery" but perforated colon (to which appx is attached, BTW), or stomach/duodenum for that matter, doesn't

Abbott egged on the Jade Helm conspiracists, who claimed that a military training operation was actually Obama invading the state of Texas. Now a U.S. president is deploying Texas troops to other states to dominate and intimidate those states, and Abbott is complicit.

Still waiting for it to trickle down...

China has exported $120 billion in green technology for the year-to-date. The US, which has positioned itself as a major fossil fuel exporter, has only sold $80 billion in oil and gas abroad.

Things to consider: Document the violence & violations--on camera, w/photos, saving images--any way you can. Speaking as a historian- it will matter Point out violations--w/images & text--even if you think it won't matter. It will. It needs to be called out & exposed You are a witness. Expose it.

In the American system of government, a legislature of the people’s elected representatives decide how to allocate the people’s money, then an unelected appointee in the executive branch called “OMB Director” decides if he feels like distributing the people’s money that way or if he’d rather not.

a lot of people in this country voted to terrorize my neighborhood and my neighbors. a lot of institutions and leaders decided that was cool. don't know what else to say.

If you like yelling about misuse of the passive voice, THIS IS IT.

Health care subsidies for more than 20 million are on the chopping block because the people in charge refused to extend them and gave tax breaks to billionaires instead. THAT is what this government shutdown is about.

“I want to be a dictator on day one” he said, and the press was like “meh! what does that even mean anyway?!”

Not only allows, constantly begs you to update their presence

Presidents? SCOTUS gives them immunity. Corporations? SCOTUS makes it easier for them to pollute. Billionaires? SCOTUS says they can buy elections. But if you look Latino, speak Spanish, or work at a low wage job, SCOTUS says you can be abducted by masked agents. The legacy of the Roberts court.

"What kind of monsters grab children and take them outside without clothes? What kind of govt permits its agents to do this?..The answer can only be a fascist regime that has abandoned any moral code as it seeks to intimidate, stoke fear and do violence." www.americaamerica.news/p/snapshot-t...

If the Democrats can't find ways to connect the President of the United States calling himself DEATH to his attempt to come and take everyone's health care away...I don't really know what to say

As a Tennessean, this is a really disappointing article, because there is no mention of all of the power that the super majority state GOP govt has stripped from the city to fight this problem. It also doesn't mention the corruption that the city fights in the city government. This was a disservice.

This!

Very Trump-era story. 1. The sword has no meaning for Charles, but matters for the Eisenhower Museum. 2. Illegal for the museum to give away US property! 3. Trump makes no distinction between personal/public property. 4. The person who did the right thing was fired. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/02/a...
