Please join me in congratulating Woman on her appointment

Some statistics about the 16 blue states Russ Vought wants to target: - 39% of the country lives in those states. - They contribute 44% of GDP. - They are also home to almost a third of 2024 Trump voters, some 24 million of them. www.pbump.net/o/sorry-abou...

"You don’t need to be a mental-health professional to see that something’s very seriously off with Trump—particularly after nearly three years of watching his erratic and abnormal behavior in the White House." www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Hey, look, I’m not Washington insider. But it sure sounds like Pete Hegseth just wasted a lot of time and money yelling at a whole bunch of high ranking military personnel because he can’t grow a beard.

“The president should be removed from office because he is plainly insane.” I mean, there is no war in Portland. There just isn’t. You can’t & won’t avoid reporting this story. But you’ll still find a way to try to report it in a way that gives him the benefit of the doubt. And that’s wrong.

Donald Trump is using federal agents to stoke fear and violate constitutional rights — all with the aims of expanding his control and sending military troops to our cities. It’s unlawful and un-American. We must all stand up and speak out against fanning the flames of violence.

"It's absurd to think that … the government of the United States that [the people] pay for, that they vote for, is really in service of one man. ... He is using every arm of the government to create pleasure for himself … and also to seek vengeance upon his enemies."

TRUMP IS TO BLAME FOR J6!!! 🩸🩸🩸 I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what the 34x POS convicted felon who incites political violence, adjudicated rapist & pedophile Trump did 🩸🩸🩸

You really should read this excellent, methodical piece by @moryan.bsky.social about FX's renewal of ENGLISH TEACHER. It's hard not to read a broader cultural narrative being expressed through the story of the network that dropped Louis CK not dropping Alvarez here. www.salon.com/2025/02/12/f...

My brain does the same…. I’ve always prided myself on my ability to listen, hear people out, and consider their point of view…..but Rumpy?…….I’ve been done for a long time. Now it’s just torture. I ride it out, stay in control, but still…. Torture.

Now what? I sure wish this country wasn’t being run by a bunch of incompetent goons…

WHATEVER could have caused this??? It's a MYSTERY.

Gavin Newsom: "I'll be signing a bill, the first in the nation, saying enough to ICE, unmask. What are you afraid of? You're going to go out and you're going to do enforcement? Provide an ID.Tell us what agency you represent."

Logical Fallacy. Does she know or is she just an awful person?

Also, let’s do what Charlie Kirk wanted and release the Epstein files.

When we warned about authoritarianism-canceling two of the four late night hosts because Trump doesn’t like them, that’s what we meant.

This is the playbook, folks. If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away. Do not be quiet in this moment.

You can never appease a tyrant.

Evil buffoon.

Trump/Vance/Stephen Miller are busy spreading blatant lies and glossing over violence committed by the far-right. They're establishing a justification to unleash the government against anyone who opposes MAGA. All of this must be understood against the backdrop of Trump’s declining popularity.

There's no excuse for the Vice President of the United States to use a heinous killing as an occasion to baselessly frame political opponents as accomplices to murder while threatening to use the power of the government to attack them. This dangerous rhetoric will only fan the flames.

People missing an important point about folks getting fired for whatever they said about Charlie Kirk: Americans are being conditioned to be snitches on their fellow citizens who don’t toe a party line on what is “allowed” to be expressed. And employers are going along. It’s the new secret police

The "common good" is a set of shared values about what we owe one another as citizens who are bound together in the same society. A concern for the common good—keeping the common good in mind—is a moral attitude. It recognizes that we’re all in it together.

Can you imagine if we had instead invested those funds in climate, health care, and education instead of lining the pockets of the military industrial complex?

There has been a rush among centrists like Gavin Newsom and Ezra Klein to brush over the hateful life of Charlie Kirk and valorize the man. Let me be clear, killing Charlie Kirk was wrong and abhorrent. We must condemn murder without sanitizing a man who built his empire on hate. My latest piece.

If I were editing a column about Charlie Kirk’s political genius, I would tell the writer he needed to quote Kirk’s actual political beliefs. If the writer responded that doing so would weaken or distract from his argument, it’d be a pretty good sign that the column was not ready for prime time.

Critical wisdom for Republicans from a REAL genius and Nobel laureate who didn't spend his life calling himself a genius and whining about prizes: “Whoever is careless with the truth in small matters cannot be trusted with important matters.” -Albert Einstein ☢️

This. 👇👇👇 JB Pritzker: "Any rational person who has spent even the most minimal amount of time studying human history has to ask themselves one important question: Once they get the citizens of this nation comfortable with the current atrocities committed under the color of law, what comes next?”

Draft-dodging coward posts A.I. image of himself in Vietnam.

A convicted felon married to an immigrant told you that the real threat is… immigrants and felons. And half the country said, ‘Sounds legit.’ As long as they’re not white, right? michalynnrivas delivered a honest #CupOfJoe! Thoughts?

Still pretending you know what you’re doing, Donald?

surely we can come up with something better for 7 billion people than being lorded over by a bunch of plundering elderly murder and torture enthusiasts who whisper to each other about printing spare organs so they can immiserate others in perpetuity

It's not normal for an American president to send troops to American cities in times of peace. Chicago, document what you see and be loud for America.

There is no moral justification for today’s extraordinary concentration of wealth. It is distorting politics, rigging markets, and granting unprecedented power to a handful of people. Closing our staggering wealth gap is crucial to the survival of our economy and our democracy.

NEWS: A federal judge has ruled that Trump’s deployment of military forces to Los Angeles violated the Posse Comitatus Act, a law that prohibits the use of the armed forces as a domestic police force.

Whether or not these people are actual foreign agents is almost irrelevant. Their actions are observationally equivalent to & indistinguishable from the actions actual foreign agents would be taking. The consequences of our total Article I constitutional crisis, right here:

Goodness, if the President has a serious health problem I certainly hope he follows the expert medical advice of his Secretary of Health and Human Services

And I am the world's foremost astrophysicist ballerina who invented the piano, aspirin, and appetizers.

This part. Everyone should be taking notes from @ivehaditpodcast.bsky.social’s @mizzwelch.bsky.social

the mystery of Schrödinger's Psychopath has been solved

Dear Americans, welcome to the thrilling game of ‘Did this dictator die or just disappear for a day?’ We’ve been playing it with Putin and Lukashenko for decades. Enjoy the suspense.

Let that sink in.

The CDC is gutting a program that monitors foodborne illnesses. The program will now only track infections caused by two pathogens, rather than eight. Hello? How does this “Make America Healthy Again”?
