JUST IN: Knight 1st Amend. Institute & American Oversight ask 11th Circuit to force Judge Aileen Cannon (Trump) to release Vol. II of Special Counsel Jack Smith's report AND to block her from ordering it destroyed as Trump's co-defendants have asked. Doc: www.documentcloud.org/documents/27...

no foreign foe has ever dreamed of being able to sack and pillaging this country the way Trump admin and its congressional and scotus enablers do every day.

I do really wish more reporters would just ask "Speaker Johnson, do you think it’s appropriate for the Speaker of the House—third in line of succession to the presidency—to be so consistently unfamiliar with current events?"

Trump posted a video depicting the first Black president and his wife as apes and his excuse for this is that it's a riff on The Lion King, a movie that does not feature any apes. Somehow this was a one-day story and we've already moved on.

First, read this and learn about the SAVE Act. Then call your senators. We can’t afford to let them impose a poll tax on our right to vote. joycevance.substack.com/p/voting-a-r...

Like Kendrick, political as hell precisely because it doesn't bother to acknowledge the haters. They're irrelevant, beneath attention. And nothing is more intolerable to fascists than the thought that their enemies are cool, enjoying themselves, and not thinking about them.

"Why didn't the Bunny sing about the stock market" okay grandpa time for your nightly smoothie of every pill known to man

The Israeli gov has finally admitted that the data from the Gaza Health Ministry on the number of Palestinians killed is in fact accurate. I continue to be astounded by the shamelessness of genocide deniers. And I fear that the actual number of Palestinians killed is far greater.

Trump is ignoring Musk’s child sexual abuse scandal—but France isn’t www.dailykos.com/stories/2026...

It’s Iraq war all over again

Republican voters don’t have to plead with their elected leaders to do what they want as much as Democrats do

Predicting that this week we’ll hear more conciliatory words from the Administration regarding Minnesota (since they’re starting to realize that ICE has become politically toxic) but everyone outside of Minnesota needs to know that nothing on the ground has changed.

This is preying on my mind a bit. Jeffrey Epstein was not primarily a British scandal! So far we've removed a Prince from the Royal family, fired our US ambassador who was one of the most important political figures of the last few decades and banned the CEO of Barclays from the financial industry..

This behavior is below the dignity of the presidency, or the dignity of any self-respecting person in society frankly. Republicans back a president they would never tell their own children to behave like.

Pretti’s murder showed that when it comes to guns and gun rights, most defenders of Trump’s pro-fascist police state clearly believe the 2nd Amendment exists to protect conservatives but bind liberals. Or, when necessary, kill them when they’re on the ground... The latest in @atrupar.com's PN:

38,000 mentions of Trump, but they weren’t friends or anything.

This heavily Black congressional district in Houston went without representation for nearly half of the term thanks to Gov. Greg Abbott (R) delaying the special election. When Democrats regain power, Congress should pass a law requiring that House special elections take place in a timely manner

Imagine a member of the Biden administration making this statement. Every fucking J6-er and Ammon Bundy-loving idiot on the planet would be throwing a fit and brandishing in public immediately.

Few public figures have been as publicly committed to a staunch and fully intentional far-right worldview as Stephen Miller in my lifetime.

Again: It’s unclear why federal agents are assaulting any of these legal observers. They ARE the violence.

This is just insane. It’s only a matter of time before DHS kills another innocent person here. (clip via MPR and @davidjbier.bsky.social on X)

Here's a "holy shit" sentence for you: "In the past year, the federal workforce lost more than 10,000 STEM Ph.D.s, according to an analysis in Science." www.thebulwark.com/p/trump-is-m...

It’s perfectly beautiful and frigid in Baltimore. And on every block, there’s at least one perfectly flat expanse of white decorated with a frozen dog turd, like a thoughtfully plated entree at a fancy restaurant.

It's official: the Trump admin is making American government dumber. *11 times more STEM PhDs were lost than gained in 2025 *3 times the rate of STEM PhDs left in 2025 compared to 2024 *-17% decrease in STEM PhDs across 14 agencies www.science.org/content/arti...

"Senator Chuck Grassley, a lifelong Iowan, has served on the Senate Judiciary Committee since 1981, when he was first sworn into the U.S. Senate." www.judiciary.senate.gov/about/chair He questioned and voted on every single justice on the U.S. Supreme Court during their confirmation hearings.

Trump did this. Measles is deadly.

The person who publishes the Free Press — where the words “Minneapolis” and “Minnesota” never appear tonight — also runs CBS News.

The Board of Authoritarians.

Musk and Trump’s decimation of USAID led to more than 1 MILLION deaths in 2025. I’ll say it again. 1 MILLION UNNECESSARY, PREVENTABLE DEATHS. This disgusting choice will be a stain on their legacies forever.

They are telling us in unequivocal terms that if you show solidarity with immigrants who are in the literal crosshairs of Trump/MAGA, you're risking a death sentence. newrepublic.com/article/2055...

Why does the @nytimes.com soft-shoe every fucking headline? “Aggressive” is not the word. “Violent” or “brutal” would be more appropriate.

ICE agents should live in shame for the restive their lives. Never forget that they opted in to hunting human beings for a sign-on bonus and the opportunity to kidnap and brutalize people.

They wheeled this Nazi asshole into court in a wheelchair and he was still trying to hide his face in shame 76 years after World War II ended. That's the kind of commitment I'm looking for.

ICE and CBP agents need to understand they're going to be wearing those masks for the rest of their lives.

Incredible. The people of Minnesota are inspiring a nation.

Philadelphia sues over removal of slavery exhibit at Independence National Historical Park

So, removing 50s-era honorific statues of southern traitors is “erasing history” but dismantling history exhibitions isn’t? I absolutely hate racist MAGA trash. The hypocrisy is outlandish.

Not only is it morally repugnant for the White House to use AI to make Nekiva Levy Armstrong appear to be crying— it also appears to be illegal In case anything still matters

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social is fucking useless.

One court decision, two different headlines. Guardian on the left, NY Times on the right. Which one more directly conveys information and the stakes to the reader?

Trump's "Board of Peace": Belarus, Morocco, Vietnam, Kazakhstan, Hungary, Armenia, Egypt, Kosovo, Pakistan, Paraguay, Albania, Uzbekistan, Bahrain, Qatar, Indonesia. The US’s new sphere of influence.

"if we'd stop testing, we'd have fewer cases" but for global financial stability

Elon Musk, the richest man in the world, gave $10 million dollars to Nate Morris’s Senate campaign. He’s financing the Republicans again. He already bought Trump the election, and now he’s trying to influence the Senate and House. This should be illegal.

I have an update on Greenland.

Another proud day for America.

Usha Vance announced that she is expecting their fourth child and praised military doctors for the world class healthcare she's receiving. The disgusting hypocrisy of course is that while she praises world class government healthcare, her husband is fighting to gut healthcare from tens of millions.

Imagine if a loved one were posting and behaving like the president of the United States. You would be in tears, or afraid, but you would be contacting the authorities. I am not being coy, or cute. A real person you knew who behaved like this would be a danger to themselves and others.

Stop aiming for people who disagree with you to agree with you, aim to get those who agree with you to do something.

Senior White House official says local and state police in Minneapolis “have been ordered to stand down and surrender.” What?
