Why do headlines say "norms shattered" when what is meant is "laws broken" or "Constitution violated"?

Van Hollen: I will just say that anybody who thinks we're on the way to authoritarianism is wrong. We are there

bsky.app/profile/edhi... Donald Trump: "I Can't Figure Out How Katie Johnson Can Remember All The Disturbing Racist Words That I Shared With Jeffrey Epstein" youtube.com/shorts/yQIk8...

NEW: I arrived in the U.S. eight weeks ago to report on how the administration’s immigration crackdown was playing out from the front lines. What I saw Thursday was the culmination of ICE’s aggressive behavior. By @tilleckert.com

24 Ukrainian pensioners killed. 800 drones launched in one night. NATO airspace violated. These aren’t isolated incidents. They’re the result of Donald Trump's disastrous foreign policy. My latest: how the 2025 Alaska summit helped shape a more dangerous world.

#TrumpsGovernmentShutdown will affect YOUR healthcare. Millions of Americans will lose their insurance coverage - we simply won't be able to afford the huge $pike ⬆️ explosion next month. Dems are fighting to save our healthcare; Trump refuses to even meet with them. This shutdown is on Trump.

Jeffries: "One could argue that what James Comey did 11 days before the election in 2016 had something to do with the fact that Donald Trump got elected the first time around. This is how Trump repays James Comey? It's all crazy to me ... what it reflects is a broader attack on the rule of law."

Trump forgot again he needs Congress, you know the legislative branch, to make laws. And the pesky little fact that WWll veterans are all Antifa. We should all be Antifa!

Just got on my full flight wearing this shirt and the guy next to me has a black tshirt with a rifle shape of the US flag. It was good knowing you, BlueSky chums. If you don’t hear from me again, it didn’t end well. #Pinks

JENNIFER LAWRENCE ON GAZA: “What’s happening is no less than a genocide. It’s unacceptable. I’m terrified for all of our children.”

Who's Excited For 100 Percent Tariffs On Pharmaceutical open.substack.com/pub/wonkette... So I wonder how MAGA Americans are taking this news? When the prices of many of their meds go up 100% will they somehow find a way to blame Pres. Biden? In the meantime the grifter's slush fund is growing bigly

MORE OF THIS!

Jeffries: "Trump, get back to DC. Why are you at a golf event right now & the govt is 4 days away from closing? That's outrageous. And it speaks to the fact that these extremists could care less about the health, safety, and economic well-being of the American people. They're on vacation right now."

I really, really love this.

Halligan presented the Comey case herself to the Grand Jury, which is a) remarkable, b) hugely risky, and c) a poss indication that nobody in the office wants anything to do with the case. The real proof will come as she tries to staff the case-- Will the staff as a whole balk?

New Epstein drop from the Oversight Dems has some interesting names in it 👀 👀 👀

Tylenol is safe for children; Donald Trump rapes children. End of fucking story.

"It's not a list" means it's definitely a list.

Who Flipped a Deep-Red Seat in Georgia? Meet Dr. Jasmine Clark: Jasmine is running for Congress in GA-13. She has a record of WINNING. Are you ready for two Jasmines in Congress?!

In his latest classic authoritarian playbook move, Donald Trump just indicted James Comey despite absolutely no evidence of crimes or wrongdoing. Once again, this is what weak men do to pretend they’re strong. James Comey, whatever you think of him, is the victim of a politically weaponized DOJ.

PSA: If you get one of these DMs and click the link, you’ll lose control of your account. It will automatically start sending out more of these, and you’ll probably be “selling” scam MacBooks next week. Beware 🚨

Release the Epstein files

We just received more Epstein files. More proof the corruption runs deep. No matter your title, wealth, or political party, if you're complicit in abusing or silencing women and girls, we will hold you to account. We're going to keep fighting for justice and transparency. ⬇️

🚨NEW: For the first time in history, the single largest group of people arrested in the interior and sent to ICE detention is people with NO criminal record. As of yesterday's data release, 40%(!) of those arrested in the interior and detained by ICE had no prior conviction or pending charges.

IMPORTANT UPDATE: Thank you to all who called or emailed to complain. www.cbsnews.com/news/ice-off...

If you or anyone you know is wondering what is REALLY going on with the shutdown… Watch every second of this. I Promise it’s worth your time. #TrumpsGovernmentShutdown

She came into her job widely accused of being a foreign asset. She now responds to those credible allegations by doing the first thing any foreign asset would do in her role: bury all intelligence on pending foreign threats to the United States. It's almost like America doesn't *want* to survive.

Umm… is Trump going to shut down the government to hide the Epstein files? 🤔 #TrumpsGovernmentShutdown

Quinnipiac in recent poll asked: Do you think that the way people talk about politics these days is contributing to violence in the United States, or don't you think so? 82% of voters agreed with this including majority of Dems, Independents, and GOP. I said basically this and got fired.

Starbucks is closing stores and cutting 900 jobs in a restructuring move. 1,100 jobs were slashed earlier this year. Reminder that Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024. This was the widest CEO-to-Worker pay gap in the entire S&P 500.

Amazing moment: Massive walk out when war criminal Netanyahu addressed UN. Only ones applauding are those in his government who support the genocide of Christians and Muslims in Gaza. www.mediaite.com/media/news/w...

#GodFearingChristian #FamilyValues #TenCommandments #PraiseTheLord #HYPOCRITE And would somebody PLEASE tell these people that there's a difference between having a beard and not bothering to shave? Huh, Teddy Cruz?

SEN. @ossoff.bsky.social : “Money in politics is the root of all of this… the vast sums of corporate & billionaire money in our political system - with or without Trump - are why ordinary people are so ill-served by elected officials and congress.”

Trump Rebranding: DOD = Department of War DOJ = Department of Retribution DHS = Department of Constant Anxiety IRS = Department of Misery TSA = Department of Shoe Removal EPA = Department of Oops, Too Late FCC = Department of No Critics FEMA = Department of “You’re On Your Own”

In a genuine WOW moment, this administration publicly acknowledges (perhaps for the first time) that an ICE officer violated procedure and will be taken off duty and subject to an investigation. This is a step in the right direction — I just wish it wasn't only because of such an awful viral video.

No Democrat should vote to keep the government open unless ACA funding is restored for the millions of Americans at risk of losing health coverage next year. Remember that this funding is on the chopping block because Trump and Republicans want to give the richest Americans a giant tax cut.

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”

BEWARE TIKTOK: Instead of China collecting our data, it will be the Trump administration. They’ll also control the terms of service and be able to hit the ban button on anything they don’t like.

They don't plan on giving up power. Because that's who they are.

NEW VIDEO: Donald Trump’s second term isn’t just about bad policies — it’s about permanently breaking America’s democratic institutions. Today, I explain why we can’t simply “resist” Trump and wait things out, but must build a long-term pro-democracy opposition movement. Please watch and share.

UNTIL IT'S DONE, Ep. 2 When the Brownsville Clinic opened in 1916, it was the first birth control center in America. Its very existence felt impossible. For young women, it was a lifeline. 109 years later, the Clinic is long closed—but Brownsville mothers are still struggling.
