Donald Trump's demolition of the East Wing is perfect symbolism: This is a wrecking ball presidency.

Never mind every other single abominable or corrupt thing to this miserable moment, the extrajudicial and unevidenced execution of 34 human beings by the U.S. Navy on the orders of a U.S. President acting in peacetime is sufficient for his impeachment and conviction. If we were a republic, I mean.

I'm constantly running into people who say things like "I don't mean to be political, but" because they've been brow beaten into believing that discussing politics as impolite which I think has benefitted the right wing and helped them normalize being foundationally terrible fucking people

I grow tired of people who mourn the veneer of civility. The presidency and its pomp and circumstance has always hidden war crimes and grotesque exploitation. Trump has dropped the mask. Recognize the need for massive reform but don’t fetishize the past status quo. It was offensive, awful.

twitter is making mainstream reporters dumber, and because they're all getting dumber together, none of them can recognize it and they actually think they're getting smarter

Don’t let the frogwater that’s boiling us alive let you skip over this: we murdered another country’s citizens in cold blood, and when their leader objected, we called him a drug dealer and cut off aid to his country. That’s freakish.

The president needs your help! He's collecting diarrhea for his plane. He has a plane that's 99% toilet with other people's diarrhea in it and he wears a little crown when he drives it around. Brave patriots please send your loose stool to your favorite diarrhea president for his diarrhea plane.

What a fucking child

If I had explain American history in one sentence, I could do worse than "John Brown was hung for treason, but Robert E. Lee was not."

He’s trying to avoid a repeat of today’s McConnell Shuffle

Q: Politico reported on a group chat of young Republicans. Does this just reflect some bad apples? HOCHUL: Some bad apples? These are the future of the GOP. This is so vile it's hard to find the words to put into context ... there's gotta be consequences ... this bullshit has to stop.

when you tie a tie, try to put in a dimple, like so

Frank Sinatra on what it means to be an American in 1945

Look, maybe not *all* ICE and CBP agents are bloodthirsty psychopaths, but there are plenty of stories like this one and the rest of them sure as shit don't seem to mind, so ...

I'm not sure I've ever seen a more repellent, subservient person than Vance. He's seems not to have a self at all. There isn't a boot in America he wouldn't lick if it would bring him an additional iota of power.

it actually offends me how sloppy and careless they are. anyone who’s ever been laid off knows the panic you feel when it happens. and while obviously it’s good that they backtracked, these are people’s fucking LIVELIHOODS they’re messing with.

There will be those who will once again council empty reconciliation with Republicans, on the grounds that “we need to be better than them.” But here’s the thing: we ARE better than them. Much better than them. Everyone is far far far better than them. That’s why they all need to go to prison.

Rogan on Trump’s cruel mass deportations, racially profiling non-criminals and ripping apart families: “This is crazy. That shows no heart. You’re not gonna get any reasonable people to go along with that. Any kind person would go ‘this can’t be the only way to do this’.”

these people are actually out of their fucking minds and im so sick of being told we need to pretend otherwise

@warnock.senate.gov is so damn good! Such a great communicator and source of reality

@warnock.senate.gov: "As a man of faith, here's something that I have noticed about evil... Evil always gets a little bit too impressed with itself. It's filled up with hubris. Evil always goes too far, and because it goes too far, it contains within itself the seed of its own destruction."

The White House Antifa Roundtable is one of the best displays I’ve seen of this-is-how-bad-it’s-gotten — just a sewer of open fascism, dementia, morons and freaks, and incoherent rage.

“This is a man who’s suffering dementia,” said @govpritzker.illinois.gov. “This is a man who has something stuck in his head … He doesn’t read. He doesn’t know anything that’s up to date. It’s just something in the recesses of his brain that is effectuating to have him call out these cities.”

Yeah. I live there. It's awesome and this lying douchebag can't be bothered to make a visit. By the way- he's looking a lot less orange...did he oversleep and miss his morning spray down?

Because they try.

This is personalism. It's the Charles I scenario -- the king rules without the a legislature and simply taxes and spends in whatever way he feels like. Impeach, remove, disqualify.

I don't doubt that Trumpism will soon crumble and things will return to a seeming normal. But what worries me is whether we will again make the mistake of offering impunity to these degenerates because if so, we're just waiting around for fascism that sticks.

You can joke about Pam Bondi’s ridiculous unprofessionalism all you want, but I’m deeply shocked by it: She acts as if she fears absolutely no consequences, convinced that there will be no more political power transfers. — This should shake everyone to their core.

Texas' Meal Team Six have arrived to save the day! *Or at least to woof down some deep dish pizza and Chicago style hot dogs.

The thing that makes me the sickest is that these folks don’t even have a shred of compassion. It’s one thing to enforce laws and rules. It’s another to do it gleefully and celebrate the suffering of someone born into poverty and desperation

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson: "Private establishments can partner with us to make it clear that private property is private property and ICE cannot enter establishments without a valid warrant ... If Congress will not check this administration, then Chicago will."

related, when the president is invading our own country, waging war on our own people, i don't wanna see dems give the GOP shit they ask for, don't wanna hear shit bout 'we hope our friends across the aisle will work with us on bipartisan solutions to the problems they cause' i don't want none of it

Pretty clear Stephen Miller, Noem, Hegseth and Trump are trying to provoke a Civil War at this point. What's interesting is they want to do it now, because even though they're unpopular, they seem to believe this is the most popular they'll be ever again. We can't let them win.

These stupid fascists in DC think the National Guardsmen in Texas will be as excited to cosplay the Civil War as Copperhead Don and his gang of neoconfederates are to start a new one, but all these stupid fascists are doing is disrupting the daily lives of ordinary Americans to photo op for fictions

Fuck Trump. Fuck ICE. Fuck Stephen Miller. Fuck Pete Hegseth and all the enablers

I’m more struck by the look of sheer terror on that poor man’s face. Fuck ICE

It's increasingly clear that the president lives in a constructed bubble of unreality designed by aides who are manipulating him in order to take control of US policy. Seems like an important story - wish media would cover it.

when you think you understand wealth inequality in the US, and then you view this www.tiktok.com/t/ZTMrmjjpS/

These guys are all fucking psychos. Literally. Something’s gotta give. This cannot continue escalating.

There should be a permanent and ever-growing protest in front of the Supreme Court.

This is lovely. www.youtube.com/watch?v=v_yJ...

Steve knows what's up. He may be an unbelievable writer, but in this case, all it takes is someone who can fog a mirror to understand the situation. The GOP hates its own citizens and can't govern.

Of all the guys who need to punched in the mouth, this guy deserves to be punched the hardest.

If you hate the Pope because he is too “liberal”, I have some very bad news for you about Jesus.

As if I could care less about this dipshit. Do people actually still watch his terrible show? The King of Cringe.

No one will miss Fallon when he’s off the air.
