If ICE is uncomfortable with public oversight during large-scale sweeps, the issue is not the cameras, it’s the conduct they don’t want seen.

Q: What happens if Zelensky doesn't agree to your peace plan? Trump: Then he can continue to fight his little heart out. Disgusting

Vaccines DO NOT cause autism - there is extensive research showing this. Resurrecting old, discredited, fraudulent work is shameful. Vaccine-preventable illnesses are serious - this is going to cause real harms. This is dangerous & disappointing.

Interesting. Ghislaine Maxwell's lawyers says she will plead the fifth if forced to testify to Congress. But she willingly sat down with Todd Blanche? What a load of horseshit. www.politico.com/live-updates...

Today Donald Trump saved us from some of the tariffs he put in place, in order to bring down the price of groceries he said never went up.

New information here on how Trump has turned the Department of Justice—which is supposed to work on your behalf—into his own personal law firm, punishing his enemies and rewarding his friends. "Worse than Watergate" doesn't begin to cover it. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Trump is transactional. He knows being nicer to Mamdani will help him with his business deals as a New Yorker. He also knows Mamdani is very popular. So, he puts on this charm offensive. It isn't lost on many that he's warmer to Mamdani than Schumer, Jeffries, or the Democratic establishment.

I understand we've reached the part of the dictatorship where they are telling us that "if the president gives the order, it is legal". Yeah, that's gone well in the past. We are so far past time to remove him.

The Coast Guard will no longer classify swastikas and nooses as hate symbols. This action, coupled with the President's call to hang Democratic members of Congress - both in the past few hrs - are more than "potentially divisive." They are vile, unconscionable, and dangerous.

Grok is “my chatbot must tell everyone that I am better in any every way than LeBron, Schwarzenegger, and Jesus” the saddest thing anyone has ever done?

Any normal person would be embarrassed that their chatbot had turned into a slavering simp.

President Trump claimed Walmart conducted an "inclusive study" that showed the price of a Thanksgiving dinner dropped 25% since last year. Jason Chaffetz repeated this false claim two days later on The Ingraham Angle - Food prices actually rose from last year - I provide receipts

We need to tell our non-scientist people that the CDC is no longer a trusted source of information. I follow mostly scientists here and we’re all right on top of what’s going on at federal agencies but I wouldn’t take it for granted that lay people have the same awareness.

Meiselas: This guy's a con artist. He's a fraud. He's quite literally a criminal. A felon. He lies. He destroys people's lives. He's a rug puller. 'Look, $23 trillion! Dividend checks are right around the corner! I'm gonna make you so rich!' It is demented and it is manipulative and it is abusive.

To put a finer point on it: An "illegal order" is one that violates their oath to uphold the Constitution of the United States. If you think that upholding the Constitution = sedition, well...you do the math.

Not that he cares about facts, but 92% of Medicaid recipients are working or fall within an exempt category, and thanks to the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Act (🤮), immigrants generally have to wait 5 years to enroll in Medicaid. RFK Jr. is making shit up.

REPORTER: “Trump accused the other side of encouraging political violence. Isn't that what he is doing?” LEAVITT: “Why aren't you talking about what members of congress are doing telling the military not to follow lawful orders?” REPORTER: “Actually, they said ILLEGAL orders.”

Not if the orders were illegal. Not if they were being directed to break the law. They are REQUIRED to disobey illegal orders. And so many of Trump's orders are illegal. Soo many.

"Kids will get sick because of what the CDC just did. Some of them will die. But the even bigger story is that the U.S. government is no longer a reliable source of information." Trump's messes can be fixed; maybe not this man's. Today's Triad from @jvl.bsky.social:

It certainly appears that the United States government is run by neo-Nazis.

Donald Trump doesn't want to release the Epstein files because he's in the files. Trump is in the files because he was "best friends" with Epstein for years. He was "best friends" with Epstein for years because they were abusing women and girls together. His attacks won't change any of that.

I think the word you’re looking for is “kept”

Is it a threat to free speech when the President of the United States threatens to yank the broadcast license of a channel whose reporters are asking him challenging questions? I ask because I feel like there used to be tons of pundits worried about free speech. Where'd they go?

I mean, look, I'm not a reporter, so who am I to talk? But on a day where the president both just called a woman reporter "Piggy" and is celebrating someone who had people bone saw apart one of my colleagues, I might just be a little ready to defend my colleagues and profession. But that's just me

There is really something very, very wrong with this man. Mental illness, strokes, dementia...or just plain evil. This is not how normal people talk. We really need a better way to remove a president who is clearly incompetent and insane.

What? Mr. Grab-em by the Pussy is a good man? In what fucking universe?

Well, she is right about one thing. There isn't anything Trump cannot do...and still have the slurping support of his MAGA sycophants who will praise him for anything and defend even his most gross behavior.

I have to wonder, who does he actually think is going to believe him? I mean, maybe the hard-core Maga might buy this because they think that only Democrats are in the files, but he is so contemptuous of the people that supposedly support him and the GOP.

What a piece of shit.

Trump is a piece of shit and his supporters like him because they are pieces of shit.

What the actual fuck? “Piggy”? Someone needs to bitch slap him into next week.

Let’s be clear: The DOJ has already been subpoenaed. They’re legally obligated to release the full Epstein files—and they’re still dragging their feet. It’s a shame we’ve even gotten to the point of needing a discharge petition. (1/2)

The technical term for Trump’s cold-blooded, extrajudicial, extralegal military killing of boaters in international waters is "murder." As in "Donald Trump is a cold-blooded killer, and should be arrested, tried, and if found guilty, be punished with the full penalty of the law."

At some point, incompetence and deliberate indifference to the law reaches a point where it is indistinguishable from deliberate misconduct. This is why you don’t hand a complex matter to someone who has never presented to a grand jury before.

"What did Trump think Epstein was 'stealing' these girls for? Epstein did not own a resort hotel. The answer is that he was recruiting them for his sex trafficking operation. The idea that Trump would have had any uncertainty on that point is absurd." — @paulwaldman.bsky.social

Is anyone surprised that trump's DOJ is incompetent and corrupt?

Trump’s pardon of Changpeng Zhao, the Binance founder who enriched the Trump family, is one of the most corrupt acts by any U.S. president in recent history. Drain the swamp!

Scott Bessent, on Fox, said beef prices are high because immigrants from South America bring cattle with them as they come here, and that cattle is infected with disease. Bessent didn't explain - did they smuggle their cattle in luggage? I find him - and his hypothesis - udderly ridiculous.

This does not sit well for the American people. Our gut is telling us something is wrong here. The question comes up over and over again: if there’s nothing to hide, then why is the President engaged in such a clear cover up and pressure campaign of Members of Congress?

Weird way for Bessent to tell us he favors full restoration of the Voting Rights Act, but I'll take it.

The fact that the estate released files that implicate Donald Trump, files that the DOJ/FBI have, proves that Pamela Jo Bondi and Kash Patel are actively involved in a criminal cover-up.

The unemployment rate exists, but the White House is going to pretend its unfavorable results don't exist. Just like Donald's numerous MRIs.

Trump's illegal murders in the Caribbean just got worse. An internal DOJ memo on the bombings says the victims are waging war on the US, but per NYT, it extensively cites the WH's *own claims* to this effect as evidence! It gets even darker than that. 1/ (new piece) newrepublic.com/article/2032...

If you call yourself a follower of Jesus Christ but support the pepper-spraying and arresting ministers, then thou art staggeringly full of crap.

The neat thing about being innocent of a horrific crime—especially while you have complete control over the government—is you have zero hesitation to release the overwhelming files of evidence proving you’re 100% innocent. Guilty people, however, do the exact opposite.

Pam Bondi has posted rants and videos saying that there’ll be no mercy for those who threaten federal agents. But she and her boss just pardoned a woman who threatened to shoot federal agents. Why did this Florida woman get a pass? She’s MAGA. Trump doesn’t care about federal agents. Never did.

This. Why does anyone think that I care about political party when the issue is molesting children? I don't care who you are, what you do, or what side of the aisle you are on--you should be investigated and if warranted, you should be indicted. My morality is not linked to a political party.

The bigger issue is that the federal government isn’t functioning correctly because it’s part of the cover up. It’s a constitutional crisis. You need to look to another part of the republic with the constitutional power to prosecute. Aka the states and @democraticags.bsky.social

I didn't realize the full extent of Trump's white trash decorations until this video showed up in my feed today. This is not just bad taste. This is psychosis. Gold is the closest thing Trump has to a religion. If he had obsessively covered the White House w/ crucifixes, he would be hauled away.
