I don’t like having a president that’s a Russian asset.

💯

If you didn’t see it coming, you weren’t paying attention. And he doesn’t have to do it formally to defy Congress, he can do it with actions that they can’t stop.

And yet more major media normalization of an erratic and internally incoherent speech full of lies.

Anytime Trump brings up World War II, someone should ask him which was the correct side.

False. We are the only country stupid enough to elect a convicted rapist.

Literally a few hours prior

😕

Lawrence O’Donnell made a great point. Nixon won his 1972 re-election in a landslide, winning 49 states. In 1974 he resigned. By 1976, you couldn’t find anyone who would admit to supporting him. Looking forward to history repeating itself.

Trump said what he’s been saying for the last few days as markets rose. I wonder how Wall St. decides to believe or reject his BS each day. Many try to catch the trend, but some have to be first movers and go “let’s say that’s real, buy” or “nah, BS, sell,” and it doesn’t seem based in real events.

yeah we know

That was an absolute shit show speech. Once again the president of the United States giving a public example of why dementia patients require close adult supervision

The Trump Effect

I like it how you can see the time when Trump's speech occured

Build child care centers. Build health centers. Build community centers. Not data centers. And not ICE detention centers.

Oof. www.finance.senate.gov/ranking-memb...

Seems a very reasonable argument, consistent with the mainstream of Democrats and, I believe, a majority of Americans.

Trump is going on national TV tonight to look the American people in the eyes and say "two weeks"

Washington state’s Millionaires’ Tax was officially signed into law this week. The revenue will fund public education, child care, and expand the state's earned income tax credit to help an additional 500,000 working families. Remember: We still have the power to fix the system.

Thread on the Trump White House's effort to bluff and bullshit birthright citizenship into oblivion.

Shortly after Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) signed Florida’s version of the SAVE America Act into law, pro-voting groups moved swiftly to challenge the severe new voting restrictions, asking a federal court to block the state from requiring voters to prove their citizenship status.

If the stakes weren't so high and the human toll wasn't so awful, it would be genuinely very funny how little of a shit Trump gives about any part of his job that isn't renovations or rigging elections. The most obviously checked out dude in history.

US keeps lifting sanctions on Russia and its global allies.

Why would I use "AI," I actually know how to fucking write

BREAKING: We @democracydefendersfund.org & @lawyerscomm.bsky.social sued DHS & ICE They’re using facial recognition apps to surveil the public — including U.S. citizens & protesters 100,000+ times w/ zero records produced & w/ zero transparency -TN

If Trump can somehow manage to strengthen Iran's hardliners, undermine NATO and benefit the Kremlin all in one war, it could be the Kremlin's greatest military victory since WWII.

Wisconsin Supreme Court justices have a profound responsibility: protecting the rights of the people and delivering on the promise of equal justice under the law. Judge Chris Taylor is the only candidate running for Wisconsin’s Supreme Court with a proven record of delivering on that promise.

The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) sued Idaho Wednesday after the state refused to hand over sensitive voter registration data — the latest example of resistance to the Trump administration’s voter roll crusade extending into strongly Republican states. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Let him never know peace, never hear anything but our utter disdain and condemnation. Video in replies.

Today’s Artemis II launch marks a major step forward in space exploration. I have had the privilege of spending time with this crew and seeing their discipline and commitment up close. As they begin this mission, I am wishing them a safe journey and a safe return home.

Leopards and their spots.

There has been no regime change in Iran. The country's political system is still a theocracy. Ghalibaf is no "pragmatic reformer."

Obviously. I mean, it's a crew of four with one woman, one African American and one (gasp) Canadian. If the Trump people were involved, it'd be completely different.

🚨BREAKING: Democrats sue to stop Trump’s executive order attacking mail-in voting, calling it an "unconstitutional" power grab that threatens free and fair elections.

NEWS: MAGA Mike caves on DHS funding. After refusing to bring it to the floor amid pressure from Trump, Mike Johnson just announced, in a joint statement with Majority Leader Thune, he’ll move forward the SAME Senate DHS bill passed unanimously last week that excludes ICE and CBP funding.

When you’re born in America, you’re an American. Trump is trying to end that basic constitutional right that was won at the end of the Civil War. We won’t let Trump take our rights backward to 1865.

Pennsylvania was one of 2 states, alongside Louisiana, to mandate a sentence of life without parole for all 2nd-degree murder convictions. That undifferentiated, automatic resort to such a harsh sentence ballooned PA prisons. Pennsylvania's supreme court just said it was cruel & unconstitutional.

Donald Trump’s America

The Buffalo Medical Examiner rules that the death of a legally blind elderly Burmese refugee dropped off by Border Patrol at a closed shop late at night in winter was a homicide. He died of a burst ulcer caused by severe stress brought on by dehydration and hypothermia.

One of my favorite stories about the 1969 Moon landing was from an archaeologist at Gault. He was a grad student and listened to the landing on his transistor radio while he excavated a Neanderthal site.

Cause Trump is a malignant narcissist wannabe dictator. Shall we list all the other countries that do have daycare and healthcare paid for by their government?

Trump was the first sitting president ever to attend oral arguments at the Supreme Court. He did it for one reason: To remind the justices he appointed that they "owe" him and better rule as he wishes. It's something a mob boss or abusive husband would do.

All this family does is grift off the government. Has any family relied more on the government than the Trumps?
