Some times in America we have the exact right President in office to lead in crucial moments (i.e. Lincoln). But at other times we have the exact wrong President in office (i.e. Andrew Johnson). Today we have the worst President in our history in office at a most crucial moment.

Inside Congress www.politico.com/newsletters/... THE BUCK STOPS HERE:

A lot of us believed Pete Hegseth hated women even before he was confirmed. We weren’t wrong. Quotes on women in the military: • In a 2024 interview, Hegseth stated that "Women shouldn't be in combat at all. They're life-givers, not life-takers" 1/3

Then why are you providing a $20 billion bailout to Argentina and helping them cut deals with China that crush American soybean farmers?

A Trumper asked me today if I was one of those nutjobs trying to save polar bears. My reply I think shocked him: No. The polar bears are already dead bears walking/swimming. We can't save them. They will go extinct in the wild. At this point, we're just trying to keep agriculture from collapsing.

Dear Senator @schumer.senate.gov Thank you for supporting the harsh but necessary position of holding the line on health care even against the shutdown consequences. This will hurt, but is a considerably lesser evil than if the Senate had acquiesced to the 'threat' of a shutdown.

BREAKING: The White House claimed the FBI deep state targeted Homan in the $50K bag-o-cash bribe for government contracts, but it was actually a fellow ICE colleague that steered undercover agents to Homan. www.msnbc.com/msnbc/news/e...

It certainly appears the United States murdered an innocent fisherman who was a husband and father to four children, claimed he was a "narco-terrorist," posted a video of the execution, and then made jokes about it

Lies all the way down.

This shouldn’t matter. But also - it can’t only matter when it’s not right-wing violence.

ICE attempted and failed to disappear a food delivery guy. It needed to be scored.

The cognitive dissonance here is truly incredible.

Here’s what Repubs have said to Dems: ‘We control the WH, the Senate and the House. And so we drafted a spending bill with what WE want, we did it on our own, we didn’t give 2 fucks about what YOU think or want, so fuck off!’ But a shutdown will be DEMS fault??

DJT is desperate to change the topic away from EPSTEIN because he knows what he did, and if we know, it will end his presidency. RELEASE the FILES - with only the victims information redacted. All the perpetrators and their crimes should be known. It's what Jesus would do.

The correct answer is no, it violates the posse comitatus act.

Don’t take your eye off the ball, voters. Midterms are the last chance to stave off totalitarianism and preserve democracy. Spread that message!

It’s a fact. Data from three decades of political violence reveals that right-wing terror attacks outnumber attacks from the left. And it’s not even close!

Not only should the Dems refuse to cave on the shutdown; they should announce they won’t vote for a budget until: (a) the military is withdrawn from every American city where it’s been deployed; (b) the budget forbids the use of any funds for that purpose; AND (c) the healthcare demand already made.

The same guy telling you Portland is war-ravaged, told you Mexico was going to pay for the wall and people were eating your pets in Ohio.

"The leadership of the FBI, DOJ, and DHS have proven their agencies are not capable of conducting investigations based on anything other than Trump’s political objectives. Simply put: the federal govt can no longer be trusted, & the Trump admin only has itself to blame." — @justinglawe.bsky.social

More reason to pass my bill requiring a security audit of the data systems infiltrated by the DOGE boys. What data did they access? What data did they take? What back doors did they leave?

Dr. Allison Gill of @dailybeanspod said everyone should watch the John Fuglesang interview on Comedy Central's The Daily Show. I agree, the interview is great! Hear John talk about his new book, The Separation of Church and Hate... youtu.be/tj3OcfMS4AU?...

We need to build a new opposition movement. In this video, I lay out the challenge ahead and what I think we need to do to make it happen. Please watch, comment, and share. youtu.be/_GUgnpAYMCc

ICE was created post 9/11 to combat terrorist threats. If they aren't combatting the number one terror threat to America - Domestic Violent Extremism and white supremacists - then they don't need to exist as an agency.

Please Representative @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social - raise the f'n roof about Johnson changing the rules to delay Rep-elect Grijalva from being #218. There is no indication that she fails to meet the basic qualifications for a member of the House, making any delay of her seating unlawful.

Is there? Every single Republican in Congress took the same oath as the Democrats that they "do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic" "Defend the Constitution" NOT defend DJT!

Under Pam Bondi, this DOJ has heard private testimony from Ghislaine Maxwell, but no testimony was requested from any of the victims of the Epstein/Maxwell collaboration. If she really meant "no one is above the law," she would bring in all of the victims and follow where THEIR testimony (1/3)

Yes, much better.

I just learned that Sinclair not only owns WGN (whose advertisers I am already boycotting), but they co-own Marquee Sports Network with the Cubs. As an avid fan, I will wait until the Cubs finish the season, then I cancel MSN, NEVER TO RENEW IT F*uck Sinclair!

Odd, how we can’t afford to give Americans healthcare, but we can afford to drop $200,000,000,000 on Argentina with a moment’s notice.

The richest man on earth owns X. The second richest man on earth is about to be a major owner of TikTok. The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post. See the problem here?

@govpritzker.illinois.gov Dear Gov Pritzker, is a "No Secret Police Act" a possibility in Illinois? Even with a different makeup of our statehouse compared to California, it seems possible that even some Republicans in IL would favor unmasking, if only for safety concerns.

I'm still not gonna resubscribe to Disney... I said I might if they reinstated him, but I changed my mind. I'm not going to.

The most important thing to know about Trump’s acetaminophen announcement is that the GOP is still hiding the Epstein files

NEW POD: We thought Tom Homan was an extreme border hawk and ideologue. Now we know this powerful law enforcement official, who's depriving immigrants of their freedom, may also be a corrupt law-breaker! @billkristolbulwark.bsky.social joins @timmiller.bsky.social on the latest Bulwark Podcast:

Release the Homan files and tapes.

genuinely crazy to me how unitary executive advocates read the vesting clause as granting a huge scope of essentially royal "inherent" powers. one would think that if the framers intended to give the president royal authority, they would have just said so.
