Reminder that Kamala Harris absolutely dogwalked this demented old loser in the second debate & Dash Sulzberger wouldn't even endorse her.

Pamela Jo has until December 20th to release the Epstein files. She must include explanations for everything she redacts or withholds.

This is exactly what you do With presidents who coup

when the tryptophan hits

Brazil’s Supreme Court ordered former far-right President Jair Bolsonaro to begin a 27-year prison sentence for his failed coup plot. Why didn’t we do that here? www.reuters.com/world/americ...

Trump tried to extort Brazil to drop the case against Bolsonaro by slapping a 50% tariff on the country He also personally sanctioned Alexandre de Moraes-the judge overseeing this case-and his wife Of course it didn’t work. Prices in the US increased instead Now Trump has been humiliated Again

Comey today after his case was dismissed. He had a stark warning. He made it clear: this wasn’t vindication, it was a reminder of how close we came to losing the rule of law. Power abused once can be abused again. We’d better take that seriously. #USDemocracy #Pinks

Average electricity cost increase since Jan: Missouri ⬆️ 37% Iowa ⬆️ 30% North Dakota ⬆️ 30% Oklahoma ⬆️ 30% New Jersey ⬆️ 27% Nebraska ⬆️ 25% Montana ⬆️ 25% Wyoming ⬆️ 23% NATIONWIDE ⬆️ 11% Instead of working to lower costs, Trump is boosting power-hungry AI data centers.

I’m sorry, but if Democrats were in power, would this not be in the headlines every single day?

why does no one ever point out that trump never has actual solutions, never delivers his promised "deal making". It's all a farce--the kind of empty promises the Music Man made in convincing Iowans to buy musical instruments he never intended to deliver.

If this is true, every halfway decent foreign intelligence service on the planet already has the receipts ….

"We seem to be hitting a phase in Trump’s second term in which his momentum is in danger of stopping. And the incompetence so endemic in term one is making itself known again, with a vengeance. Suddenly, everywhere you look, you see a White House flailing." www.thebulwark.com/p/amateur-ho...

Comey stated that "a message has to be sent that the president of the United States cannot use the Department of Justice to target his political enemies.” If only that were so. Trump's assault on the rule of law is not over. New from @kimwehle.bsky.social: lnk.thebulwark.com/4pzNqa3

oof *US NOV. CONSUMER CONFIDENCE 88.7; EST. 93.3

A mayoral candidate saying maybe the city should cover the cost of bus rides gets the full socialism panic treatment before he even tries it. A sitting president taking billions of dollars worth of shares in private companies gets “I must say, a tad unusual” after it’s been going for nearly a year.

The press corps can make a scandal when it wants to.

A mayoral candidate is repeatedly asked to condemn Hamas and denounce anti-Semitism simply because he's Muslim. A sitting president who promotes white nationalism, employs gutter racists and dines with literal Nazis is given a free pass.

Bacon on Hegseth threatening Kelly: 'Amateur hour once again' #TheHill

So the guy who’s busy exporting innocent citizens for being alleged criminals is now importing convicted criminals. Do I have that right?

One thing Trump said last week when he met Mamdani in the WH “he had wonderful ideas for NYC, but I had never heard him say anything about it before”. I think it really sums up the right and Trump and their addiction to Fox and Twitter. They never wander outside their algorithms.

People have always been fundamentally irrational - socially conveyed ideas have always superseded observable reality. But modern liberal democracy was made possible by epistemological structures, in the form of media institutions and political norms, that promoted fact and truth. They have collapsed

You cannot rationally govern an electorate guided by hallucinations

Bear in mind: it has ever been thus! There's no golden age when information was immaculate & the people devoted to imbibing it all. The midcentury US, with its major newspapers & three networks, was where the basic survey research demonstrating how little citizens know about politics was conducted

The New York Times, where the popular mayor-elect of their city is a fringe figure, but the QAnon podcaster who asked him a racist question comes out as a "winner" This newspaper hates its readers as much as Republicans hate their voters. And if you're still supporting either, you deserve it.

Shed a tear for your maga dear ones today

The Trump economy is being propped up by a giant speculative bubble of AI and crypto, with a small group of people getting insanely wealthy and everyone else getting screwed while the Mad King tells us everything is great and everyone is thriving.

Trump wrongly indicted me. I’ll rightly impeach him. Impeachment isn’t just an option, it’s a necessity. I know firsthand the lengths Trump is willing to go in order to silence dissent — but is it working?

Bless her little heart.

Hey Pete, we won’t be intimidated—Senator Ruben Gallego.

Again, every elected Democrat needs to put out a video stating exactly what Kelly and the others said. If ever there were a line to draw in the sand, it’s here. The military is not the president’s Praetorian Guard.

"But the really harsh lesson of Ukraine isn’t just that America is an unreliable defender. It’s that America may take the side of the aggressor." www.thebulwark.com/p/america-he...

Astronaut. Navy captain. Combat veteran. Public servant. If Mark Kelly isn't your definition of an American hero, it's time to get a new dictionary.

As Hegseth advances an investigation into Democratic Sen. Mark Kelly, remember: - Kelly didn’t do anything wrong - This sends an unsubtle signal to active-duty servicemembers - With Jan 6 in mind, Team Trump shouldn’t be so casual about throwing around the word “sedition” www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

Can’t spell Donald without an L

do you have any idea how much you have to piss somebody off to make them change their gauge

Loser Trump keeps losing. GOP is figuring out if they stand with this loser, lie for this loser, defend this criminal and traitor, they, too, will LOSE! They lose with him, or lose without him, and will leave on their own terms rather than go down with the corrupt Trump ship.

Trump essentially said loyalty to the Constitution is punishable by death. Those are dangerous words coming from the President of the United States, but I’m not going to be intimidated.

. @rbreich.bsky.social explains how we can neuter Citizens United through the states, without changing the Constitution or requiring all 50 states to sign on. It sounds like a great idea to me. www.rawstory.com/citizens-uni...

So, $870 million is more than $40 million or $80 million, right? I wonder what the Magats will think about this... They actually thought the A stood for America, rather than Argentina. Argentina. Isn't that where all the Nazis fled to?

mark kelly sat on top of 526,126 gallons of fuel and rode a rocket into the vacuum of space four times i dont think he's afraid of the former host of celebrity apprentice

Every retired senior military leader should also be out saying the same thing. Today.

In every way, Trump demands fealty to himself—and to his whims, wholly untethered to law—over fealty to federal officials’ oaths of office. So again: Are you effing kidding me? What Dems did here was patriotic. They forced the debate we need over Trump's lawlessness. newrepublic.com/article/2035...

This is a great, dignified "fuck you, I've seen real danger, and your weak ass doesn't scare me" of a statement.
