Sen. BLUMENTHAL: Was the U.S. Capitol attacked on January 6, 2021? Trump nominee: *dodges* Trump nominee: *dodges* Trump nominee: Well, individuals entered the Capitol. Blumenthal: You are in fear—how will you have the courage to be fair and impartial?

LOSES?!?!?!!?! No. HHS canceled grants previously awarded to AAP — in what certainly looks like a retaliatory act.

On Monday, ICE agents violently restrained a woman in Minneapolis, dragging her in the snow and pinning her face down as onlookers shouted the woman was pregnant. In response, one agent fired a taser into the crowd. “Who wants more?” he taunted, according to a WCCO reporter. trib.al/vdWc3qj

NEW: Jack Smith told lawmakers he developed "proof beyond a reasonable doubt” that Trump engaged in a “criminal scheme” to overturn his election loss. www.nbcnews.com/politics/jus...

I will never understand how so many people argue “the government can’t effectively provide healthcare” when it’s one of the few things we know, for a fact, it can do, because it already does this. It’s like claiming the government can’t deliver mail. Buddy sit down you’re not gonna believe this

Jack Smith's testimony should be open to the public.

As this administration crumbles, as it will, eventually, he's going to get crazier and more dangerous.

Impeach him the second you get a majority, imo. Let this guy lay it all out.

Team Cherry sign-off and Sea of Sorrow reveal! Woohoo!

The problem with all arguments of this sort is that they effectively rewrite the statute to exclude critical limitations. If a statute says "the president may do X on condition Y," but no court may second guess a presidential determination that Y obtains (even if it plainly does not)...

Usually, when I need an appointment at the VA, I can get one within 2 weeks. Today, I called for an appointment and the next available is in May, 2026. Firing 35K people will do that. The Trump administration hates veterans.

Still in a state of shock trying to process the tragic loss of one of the most gifted men in the entertainment industry & his wife when the Embarrassment-in-Chief disgraces common human decency with this repulsive, deranged statement. #NoWords 🤮

I am totally serious about this: file articles of impeachment over this specifically

He's just lost it. Now saying Rob and Michele Reiner caused their own murder because they didn't support him. So sick.

Just an unrelenting piece of shit.

The cultural impact of Rob Reiner cannot be understated. Legend isn't big enough a word. It goes to 11. You can't handle the truth. As you wish. I'll have what she's having. I'm your number one fan. You guys wanna see a dead body? The very idea of a bucket list. The West Wing. All from his movies.

@whitehouse.senate.gov don’t fucking do it.

Elon's little serfs are quite literally begging journalists to come back because every publicly available source of data shows people have fled the platform and young people won't use it. They are literally begging regular people to come back. Don't do it! It is a website by and for actual Nazis!

Two days after the House of Representatives voted to restore collective bargaining rights to federal employees, Trump moves to illegally end collective bargaining for TSA workers. Trump may be the most anti-union president in American history.

One must ascend a monument to our first president to witness the destruction of the White House by the current one.

Journalistic malpractice and NYT headline writing, a sample.

Your yearly reminder that the protagonist of Jingle Bells is fully culpable for any misfortune to Fanny Brice during said sleigh ride, as they had correctly identified the horse as being accident-prone prior to the ride. What say you, @kenwhite.bsky.social?

Men who brag about never being alone with a woman other than their wife baffle me. Either they are afraid of the women or afraid of themselves and both of those things don't really reflect well on the men in question.

“Approximately 137 men were spirited out of this country without a hearing and placed in a high-security prison in El Salvador, where many suffered abuse and possible torture, despite this Court’s order that they should not be disembarked.”

WOW; a DEEPLY corrupt move by the immigration courts; clear collaboration with Trump admin officials to produce a specific result with zero notice to the party and ALSO in a situation where the judge facially lacks jurisdiction; the judge had denied a motion to reopen and the case is on appeal.

I am deadly serious when I say that any liberal Project 2028 people should be taking names of the civil servants who go way past their authority to do stuff like this. That is very much not me saying that normal employees following bad orders should be fired. But there’s a line. This crosses it.

Yes, it’s one they handpicked, and IIRC is actually a judge in management who only hears a small number of cases. It’s so flagrantly corrupt and a perversion of due process you almost have to laugh; then go off and file a bar complaint against the judge for violating ethics rules.

all i'm saying is that there were better options

ICYMI — “I identified myself as a U.S. citizen and a veteran, but that didn't matter. ICE Agents smashed my window, sprayed tear gas and pepper spray into my car, dragged me out… this experience violated the very principles I fought to defend.”

The clear takeaway from today is that Donald Trump is not unstoppable and you are not powerless.

This should be the biggest story in the country right now. The sitting US President was extorting state lawmakers from his own party by threatening to withhold public money if they didn’t gerrymander for him. I don’t know how else to say it…
