Same thing with Pritzker in Illinois - wtf is wrong with Democratic governors?

And that’s all they’ve got to promote themselves. “Sissy sissy sissy.” What a complete and total void they are.

Both acting Attorney General Todd Blanche and his predecessor, Pam Bondi, received a fresh round of formal ethics complaints this week related to their roles in carrying out Trump’s wide-ranging campaign of political retribution. Rather than changing their behavior, here’s how they’re responding:

Finally figured out who he's been reminding me of lately

Ken Paxton just gave an Epstein-style deal to a pedophile. Paxton released Adam Hoffman — an admitted child rapist — back on our streets after Paxton’s rich lawyer friend got involved. The Epstein Class has no place in Texas. Ken Paxton has no place in the US Senate.

"'This is our money they’re spending,' Painter said. 'This is corruption we pay for.'"

This is just so mindblowingly corrupt. And there's something new like this almost every day. The corruption is beyond staggering. It's bottomless.

This “calorie standard” language is sinister as fuck. Basically we’re feeding them enough to stay alive but nothing more.

There is not a grand jury in America that will indict E. Jean Carroll. We see you.

Breaking: The Trump administration is working to create a $250 bill with Trump’s face on it, even though it is a direct violation of federal law to have currency with a living person on it. They fired the federal official who was resisting their demands. www.washingtonpost.com/investigatio...

Trump extends revenge tour to people he raped. E. Jean Carroll, the woman found to have been raped by Donald Trump - according to Judge Lewis Kaplan - is now being investigated by the Justice Department for... something or other. www.nbcnews.com/politics/jus...

Amid stalled U.S.-Iran peace talks, Israel has intensified its attacks across Lebanon and on Wednesday issued an evacuation order for all areas south of the Zahrani River — about 14% of the country. “It’s hard to see an end in sight,” says Ramzi Kaiss, researcher at Human Rights Watch.

FYI, the single most unusual trade in Trump's portfolio disclosure was him buying $1M-$5M in DELL on February 10, a mere 11 trading days before it released a huge upside earnings surprise. Trump's currently at 150% profit on it. I guess he wanted to squeeze some more profit from it with this.

This is not the flex you think it is Donald Trump 🤣

“.. They thought they were going to outwait me," Trump said at a White House cabinet meeting, referring to Iran's leadership. "You know, 'We'll outwait him. He's got the midterms.' ​I don't care about the midterms." @reuters.com www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...

MacFarlane: Comey's arraignment is now set in that seashells by the seashore case. If the calendar holds up, the DOJ is going to have to show some of its cards in that case—they have filed so little, they've put nothing on the record in that case, wondering if it's going to implode…

Trump says “prediction markets” must be protected. His son is on the board of Kalshi.

What a disgrace. Says it all, really. 😕🇺🇸

The thing that makes “gutter racism” an appropriate term for this is that it goes beyond even what segregation’s savviest defenders were willing to say in public 60-70 years ago. They understood that this level of explicit racial animus was embarrassing to the cause.

This looks more like a Doonesbury cartoon than real life

Good thread

The grotesque UFC fight glorifying violence on those historic grounds next month is sickening. Do not accept that Trump’s removal is impossible.

BREAKING: Ethics complaint just filed against Pam Bondi — & it's damning She ran DOJ like a weapon — & now 100+ scholars, retired judges & retired FL Supreme Court Chief Justice Peggy Quince — joined by @democracydefendersfund.org @ldadorg.bsky.social & LFRL — are holding her accountable -TN

The contractor working on the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool is being paid an inflated and excessive profit margin, according to federal documents obtained by The New York Times. nyti.ms/4dz0oSb

Think it's crucial to stress that Talarico is NOT adopting the Dem-consultant-approved approach. He centers costs and economy but contrasts his vision with the society that Trump and MAGA want—meaner, crueler, unrepentantly hierarchical, proudly anti-egalitarian, wracked by violent ethnic purgings.

This is Ken Paxton's mugshot. He was indicted on 3 felony counts for investment fraud. He was reported to the FBI by his own staff for bribery. He was impeached by his own party for corruption. Now he’s the Republican nominee for US Senate in Texas. Together we will stop him.

So unbelievably angry. This is blatant child abus, a shocking escalation in the kind of everyday violence against trans kids that has already cost lives. Everyone involved in enacting this must resign, and every teacher, counselor, and social worker must be vociferous in our condemnation. Get loud.

On this episode of 'Racism Today'...

This is madness

Two days ago a sitting US Senator was pepper sprayed for protesting ICE and it didn’t even become national news.

Don't let ICE and this administration lie to you. I saw inside Delaney Hall with my own eyes. The conditions are absolutely unacceptable.

Markwayne Mullin: "We are currently drawing up plans to say, listen, in these sanctuary cities where the local radical left Democrats aren't allowing us to do our job and enforce federal laws, then we shouldn't be processing international flights into their cities."

Building this UFC stage in front of the White House is one of the most ridiculous, tone deaf things I've ever seen any politician do.

They are truly monsters

Markwayne Mullin: "You have a senator complain because he got splattered with a pepper ball. I'm sorry, you probably shouldn't have been there"

He says this so blithely

Sharyn Alfonsi releases the following statement on CBS News essentially ghosting her: "This was not a routine corporate transition; it was a deliberate choice to penalize a journalist for refusing to sanitize factually accurate reporting, and it sends a chilling message to the entire newsroom."

Trump says he thinks Middle East countries "owe it to us" to join the Abraham Accords, and adds, "I'm not sure we should make the deal if they don't sign"

And it is not his house.

Love this energy, tbh

Yeah so funny our president jokes about war and they clap and laugh along with him

“.. In the coming days, network leadership may attempt to hide behind corporate euphemisms like ‘modernization’ and ‘restructuring’ to explain away my departure. Don’t be misled,” she added. @scottnover.bsky.social #$PSKY www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

"What happened to the Broadview 6 is a particularly egregious example of a phenomenon taking place nationwide that catastrophically undermines the credibility of the Justice Department and the stability of the American body politic." — @lizdye.bsky.social

🤣

Remember when Trump announced the imminent end to the war and the whole world was excited? Two days ago? I guess I hallucinated that.

Let’s all be real clear: This does not mean Trump is powerful. He is a kingmaker in a party that is slipping further and further into chaos.

@jamestalarico.bsky.social: “The number one issue should be comprehensive political reform. It should be getting big money out of our politics — banning corporate PACs, banning super PACs, overturning Citizens United, and banning members of Congress from trading stocks and enriching themselves."

And there you have it. The anti trans campaign in Maine was never some "grassroots movement." It was bankrolled by billionaire Richard Uihlein, who poured over $800,000 into targeting trans kids over sports and bathrooms.
