Guess who showed up to defend Tesla? The Proud Boys, armed militias, and at one event in Idaho, and a guy dressed as Hitler. More on the "Tesla Takedown" protests here:

Rumeysa Ozturk, a PhD student at Tufts University, is the latest student abducted by ICE for her political beliefs. I joined @pressley.house.gov & @warren.senate.gov in demanding DHS release Rumeysa and provide answers on this disturbing trend. www.boston25news.com/news/local/d...

‘Amateur hour': Washington aghast at Trump administration’s war plan group chat. One Democratic congressional aide called it an “operational security nightmare.”

Democrats: “See, we don’t have to make a political case at all. We’ll just wait for the economy to get bad, at which point everyone will agree Trump is bad and he will automatically become unpopular.” New York Times: “Okay so there’s going to be a recession. Are recessions good? Opinions differ.”

French Senator Claude Malhuret: "Washington has become Nero’s court, with an incendiary emperor, submissive courtiers and a jester high on ketamine... We were at war with a dictator, we are now at war with a dictator backed by a traitor."

This list is so long and taking up so much real estate in his speech it’s almost like they want to distract from their massive cuts to Medicaid

Trump doesn’t give a damn about us, he only cares about billing us for his tax breaks for the richest of the rich. Screwing Minnesotans by putting us in the middle of a trade war with our *ally* is beyond insanity.

The Free Speech president is out here defending free speech.

Vance on inflation: "It's gonna take some time to fix what Joe Biden broke over 4 years. It's easy, unfortunately, to burn the house down. It takes a lot of time to build it back up." (Trump said he would lower prices on day one.)

Whose the cuck now

Hi Bluesky! Glad to be here.

BASH: I remember a time when Republicans were very careful about the government having access to personal data NOEM: Well, we can't trust the government anymore BASH: You are the government

all I know is that had President Biden forced out the FAA chief under pressure from his top adviser and his corrupt motives, and then the next week there was a plane crash that killed more than 60 people, Republicans would be howling that it was an impeachable offense.

In the lawsuit against the OMB by the National Council of Nonprofits, Donald Trump's team is arguing that executive orders cannot be challenged. False. Especially since Donald is trying to do something that's against the Constitution (which says that Congress controls the budget, not him).

Call these people what they are: evil

Homan went on CNN to complain that ICE’s attempts to arrest Chicagoans has been hampered by the people’s knowledge of policy—largely because of the city’s “Know Your Rights” campaign. Fascists rely on your compliance. On your ignorance. They depend upon your fear. Disappoint them.

I think the most problematic issue with targeted scapegoating of trans and immigrant communities this election is ...that it worked. The concern moving forward is, any marginalized group can be targeted to galvanize a base and there are no repercussions.

My message to Zuck

I can't get over that Donald Trump just gave an absolutely batshit insane press conference and MAGA is clapping like seals.

A Uniquely American Public Health Crisis ▪️ 2 dead, 6 injured. ▪️ Shooter: 15 years old. ▪️ 911 call made by a second grader. Gun violence is the leading cause of death for children & adolescents in U.S. This is not normal. It is not acceptable. We owe our children more than thoughts and prayers.

Nancy will have the swat team on you for releasing a heavy sigh in her vicinity

Waiting for western MSM to actually take a look at the current Russian economy beyond a quick glance at the Russian government’s self reported GDP growth numbers.

This Saturday in Berlin, I’ll be delivering a keynote address at the #TruthToJustice conference on how Russian disinformation hurts Africa, threatens Europe, and demeans the West. I’ll expose the global reach of Russian disinformation tactics. Stream here: www.youtube.com/live/9pvp03i...

I suspect I’m the only Democrat in America who ran for office with language like this in his policy agenda. People laughed at it and said it was unnecessary, Harris would win. Did she? Was it?

NEW on CNN: We uncovered that Trump's incoming-White House press secretary purged tweets from her timeline praising Pence for certifying the election on January 6 and praising Capitol police . Just a year later she ran for Congress denying the 2020 election results. www.cnn.com/2024/12/02/p...

Biden administration approves antipersonnel mines for use in Ukraine. This is a good move by Biden. Flood the zone with whatever aid Ukraine needs before Trump gets in office. The calculus is that Putin isn’t going to escalate further since his puppet is on the way. www.cnn.com/2024/11/19/p...

It took me twelve years (!) to build up my audience on Twitter. It took 5 days to surpass the 50% point of my Twitter following on Bluesky. I’m hopeful that the overall growth on this site will negate the need to go on Twitter altogether. Sad to see what it devolved into, but thrilled to see it die.

I can only speak for my own journalism, but my research will focus on the broken promises that cause severe—real, immediate, profound—pain to his own voters. Pointing out broken promises for the sake of pointing of broken promises will be as fruitless as it turned out documenting his corruption was.
