five days and a few hours to go and at this point I'm just gonna be shameless: if you can help signal-boost this thing, I'd be grateful. I've done very well through my own channels, but haven't had much luck breaking out beyond them. www.kickstarter.com/projects/tom...

They’re giving Argentina the money so we can have a base of operation to occupy Venezuelan & seize its oil.

Asking earnestly, how is the ballroom project at all legal under the Anti Deficiency Act? www.gao.gov/legal/approp...

Not until after the trials. Perfect venue for the trials. Then grind it into dust.

Democrats should be drawing up legislation right now, this very minute, to bar Trump from helping himself to $230 million in taxpayer funds from DOJ. Challenge Republicans to hold a vote on it. Push this so hard in the media that every GOP Senate and House candidate is pressed to comment on it.

Why does he use a foreign word here? Hy doesn’t he say “no religious law”?

Well, this sure tracks.

I expect these survivors know exactly who some of their abusers were. They are limited in naming names in part due to statutes of limitations on the crimes. That is a legal construct with a legal remedy for which there is precident. www.massbar.org/publications...

Fascinating takedown of the weaponized HHS. TLDL: their numbers are BS rooted in legal arguments instead of science. Not a huge surprise. Lawyer RFK is a frickin’ hammer so every question must be a nail. Thank you Hank Green!

This two-parter below is exactly why it's hard to make clothes in the United States. Let's look at how much it costs to produce a button-up shirt in the US. 🧵

I get tremendous pleasure from watching all of my kids using these techniques with their kids & sometimes wish I’d been as emotionally mature when my kids were small.

Someone needs to do a deep dive “where are they now” for all the convicts the current regime pardoned. Really curious how many ARE government employees now. Maybe not FBI, but maybe DHS or ICE.

Immigrant advocates “have been thrown to the ground, pepper-sprayed, and tailed in their cars by officers in an apparent attempt to intimidate them,” @itscaitlinhd reports: www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

The fact that the entire case revolves around prosecution for a possible typo on a single form that was clearly and repeatedly corrected is way beyond ironic.

This message should be read in its entirety from every pulpit at every Mass in every Parish in the world this weekend.

Everything Trump is doing now is a preamble for his regime's real goal: to invoke the Insurrection Act. I don’t want to unduly alarm you, but you need to be aware of this imminent danger. Let me explain what’s going on.

Time for America to get serious & plan general strikes, boycotts, & millions on top of millions of people PEACEFULLY in the streets to confront The Dictator’s madness. Got to step it up.

Good time to read @mollyroberts.bsky.social: “It’s hard to imagine a worse case than the one against James Comey—until you see the one against the attorney general of New York.” www.lawfaremedia.org/article/next...

Is there a reason that the three sane members of SCOTUS are not more vocal about the terrible things their body is doing? At a certain point decorum is an impediment to justice.

Time to go home, Eddie.

Everything they are doing & saying right now is very obviously meant to clear the way for mass repressive violence. Fact checking is not going to do shit. Talking about kitchen table issues is not going to do shit. We need open, unapologetic defiance & conflict.

Speaker Johnson continues to stall the swearing in of Rep.-elect Grijalva so as to avoid having to deal with the Epstein discharge petition. Why shouldn’t Dems make support for reopening the government contingent on adding to the funding measure a provision mandating release of the Epstein files?

Thanks, @repmcgovern.bsky.social You are always working for us.

The hadn’t reckoned on an amphibious assault.

The thing about the Epstein files is that there ARE NO Epstein files anymore. It wasn’t just PINO named in them, but a whole host of powerful people. A discharge petition to release them will only expose that they were destroyed (or all official copies accessible from known sources were destroyed).

If a federal judge, appointed by Trump, can call him “simply untethered to facts,” our White House press corps can as well. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

If one of his devotees collected a drop of his blood from that “assassination attempt” we would be able to conclusively prove the real r@pist was some dude names Heinz.

Are you paying attention?

Heading over to [email protected] town hall at 5:30 tonight at Clark University’s Atwood Hall. Hope to see you there!

My husband was detained by ICE today Juan Muñoz, an American citizen, father of 2, and local government official, was peacefully protesting w. other elected officials. He was assaulted and taken away I have had zero contact or updates since #SOS @duckworth.senate.gov @durbin.senate.gov

It could work.

Zohran Mamdani calling it a genocide on The View and getting applause.

Maybe it’s just me, but I was never 100% on board with replacing our entire government with one endlessly self-pitying narcissistic asshole & a squadron of empirically loathsome bootlickers who would gladly burn the entire country down to protect his hide from the consequences of molesting children

Trump just called us "the enemy within" Those are LITERALLY the words Adolf Hitler used to describe Jews in Nazi Germany. Literally the same words.

Folks — this is not a normal government shutdown. Let me explain the stakes and how we got here.

Trust me, we are at war, not just the shooting kind, yet...... www.cbc.ca/news/busines...

Read this. Generals are speaking anonymously.

Wow. For reals my wife & I were planning a holiday trip to visit chilluns that was to include 3 days in Nawlins. We are not vacationing in a militarized zone. Just glad we hadn’t booked the flights yet. Maybe Santa Fe, maybe all the way south to The Playa in Mexico. Not Louisiana, tho.

Too often, we talk about homelessness as if it's natural or inevitable. The truth is that it's a political choice. When then-Gov. Cuomo cut the Advantage program rather than tax his wealthy donors, his decision sent thousands of New York families into shelters.

Democrats should introduce a bill in both House & Senate to abolish the Federal income tax, now replaced w/ tariffs. ~ If they succeed, Blue States redirect those funds to the benefit of their citizens. ~ If they fail (obviously the way it will go), every Red St MoC has to vote FOR income taxes

For generations the wealthy ruling class has spun the narrative that people who don’t HAVE to work WON’T because that is THEIR experience. Their wealth has allowed them to be lazy and, as a result, most intergenerational wealthy people ARE lazy.

At a Fall Festival yesterday w/ the grandkids. Lots of fun. Great juggler ski lift “Sky Ride”, velcro ax throwing. A couple there selling maple syrup, which we‘re nearly out of. Noticed his shirt was “We the People” lettered in shape of an assault weapon. Still nearly out of maple syrup.

Hi, just a note— The local ICE/ERO agent directing his team to fire at reporters' faces in Chicago this morning has been threatening press since we showed up at immigration court in June. His agents shot us both at close range last week, too. None of this started today!

The same guy telling women to "tough it out" can't stop whining because he had to walk up one flight of stairs because the escalator stopped.

Why do headlines say "norms shattered" when what is meant is "laws broken" or "Constitution violated"?

This is the perfect encapsulation of Trumpism -- because of its obsession with imagery, the White House crew caused a problem but blamed it on other people, leading to MAGA making threats against the United Nations for their own screw up

And New Mexico just made child care free to all. The others all cut food aid. It ain’t the same thing.

Well, there it is. Sinclair is digging in for a fight, so please help push back -- find stations in your area, watch their local news to see what ads they run, then write those advertisers to tell them you're boycotting as long as they're on a Sinclair station. List here: sbgi.net/tv-stations/
