I can't believe I'm posting this video - but we actually have to have a conversation about the real world implications of America going to war over Greenland. Let me walk you through it. It doesn't turn out well for us.

This is one of our favorites!

The White House is promising to announce a new healthcare plan "very soon." We've heard that one before...

The President of the United States should not be batshit insane.

Every legal story now is either Ancient Circuit Judge Delivers Crystal Clear 100 Page Rebuke To Trumpist Overreach or In Unsigned Shadow Docket Decision, 6-3 Majority Declares Trump Can Hunt People For Sport

If you see John Roberts in person, be sure to tell him he’s a worse Chief Justice than Roger Taney (pronounced “tawny”). That’s a nerd burn that will hit him where it counts.

So another vote for Universal Healthcare! Along with Lindsey Grahams statement. Spin it better Dems. No $ for insurance companies, straight single payer from your dollars to doctors like 32 other countries.

You need to see this: “The show of force is the point. They want these images to be out…The Department of Homeland Security is walking around Chicago with a film crew.” @jacobsoboroff.bsky.social

That @JoeBiden put out this magnanimous & gracious statement AFTER all the horrible, dishonest things Trump said about Biden today, says so much about who Joe Biden is as a person. And reminds us all once again of what an utterly horrible, small, bad, & insecure person Trump is.

I hope it's clear to everyone now that Trump really is going for it - he's trying to become a dictator. I don't know if he'll succeed, but he's working to install himself as an autocrat unaccountable to voters. And he's weaponizing the military against Americans who oppose him as part of that effort

The Dept. of Education has pulled funding for programs in 8 states that support students with both hearing and vision loss. A staffer at one program says he was told the Trump admin. took issue with 2 words on the grant application: “transition" and “privilege": www.propublica.org/article/trum...

It's not the most important part of the issue but Kavanaugh saying "well they should just sue if they're the victims of excessive force from ICE" when he himself has previously voted to bar lawsuits against federal officers for violations of the 4th Amendment in immigration cases takes chutzpah.

I hate these fuckers on the Supreme Court so much I'm almost consumed by it.

“…I am infuriated that the Air Force plans to grant military funeral honors to Ashli Babbitt. She did not die defending the Constitution. She died trying to overturn it.” My latest in @thebulwark.com www.thebulwark.com/p/honoring-a...

1/ Judge in Habba ruling "Manipulation of official appointments had long been one of the American revolutionary generation’s greatest grievances against executive power, because the power of appointment to offices was deemed 'the most insidious and powerful weapon of eighteenth century despotism'"

@gavinnewsom.bsky.social: "I think he should start with Shreveport, Louisiana, and Speaker Johnson's district that has 6x the per capita murder rate of Nancy Pelosi's San Francisco. What about the carnage, Mr. President, in Shreveport? Why aren't you protecting the folks there? What bullshit."

More Americans voted for Senator Alex Padilla than for 48 of the 53 red state GOP U.S. Senators combined.

Imagine the biggest problem in your life being about which bathroom a total stranger uses. Imagine pretending random people you'll never meet are somehow victimizing you with their existence. Imagine being that hard up for troubles that you have to invent them just so you can play the victim.

Gelernt for ACLU: we have sought emergency relief in the 5th circuit and SCOTUS simultaneously in light of the emergency circumstances, but haven't heard from either. Boasberg: You're seeking no removal for 30 days. Gelernt: Yes b/c that's what they asked for in WWII. 3/

We could have been talking about $25K down payment assistance for new homeowners in a thriving economy right now, but here we are.

"Who could have predicted this?" say the people who spent the past year dismissing or mocking those who predicted this.

On a pretty regular basis over the past month or so, people will tell me “This is not what I voted for.” And when they tell me that, I always respectfully, but firmly, tell them “No, this is EXACTLY what you voted for.” It’s led to some very interesting conversations.

The gap between the self-image that MAGA has of themselves as tough macho he-men and their constant pants-pissing fear of every goddamn thing in the world is bigger than the Grand Canyon

The problem is: they've mistaken correlation for causation. They think their parents and grandparents had a good life *because* of manufacturing jobs. When, in reality, their parents and grandparents had a good life *despite* manufacturing jobs, because of unions, high taxes, and social policies.

I want what they have

Trudeau: I want to speak first directly to the American people… your government has chosen to do this to you. Your government has chosen to put American jobs at risk. They have chosen to raise costs for American consumers on everyday essential items…

Per Dr Atul Gawande, ex USAID: “All malaria supplies protecting 53 million people, mostly children, including bed nets, diagnostics, preventive drugs, and treatments – terminated.” There are no words that sufficiently describe this level of cruelty and sadism.

MSNBC worries about the perception that they’re not fair to R’s while Fox eats an $800m libel settlement to preserve its ability to lie about Ds. That’s the asymmetry that gives illiberalism a structural advantage. open.substack.com/pub/readtpa/...

The Trump regime's segregationist agenda is clear. I argue that having a Black man as president of white America enraged a portion of this country so much, that they decided to destroy any pipeline to Black advancement in academia, government, & workplaces. karenattiah.substack.com/p/trumps-seg...

Could someone place an order for 100 more Jasmine Crocketts for overnight delivery to the Democratic Party thx in advance

So the people yelling about waste in government are paying attorneys to argue in court that the largest and most lethal military in history is being brought to its knees by a few thousand of its 3 million members asking politely to be referred to by their preferred pronouns? Is that right?

Hey @JDVance, and @elonmusk, and @realDonaldTrump it looks like the Auschwitz Memorial wants to educate you. STOP LYING TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.

JUST IN: Another medical horror story in an affidavit from a USAID employee stationed overseas. Says his pregnant wife was not medevac-ed for emergency health care because of directives from DC. Took intervention of a U.S. senator to reverse — but was too late. s3.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

I probably know every inch of this place. I have run, walked, and biked it thousands of times. Even on a gray Sunday afternoon, Crissy Field is one of my favorite places on earth.

Where law ends, tyranny begins.

Here is the oath all executive branch employees take. It is to support and defend the Constitution, not to “implement the president’s agenda.” If the two purposes diverge, the Constitution prevails.

Brings to mind this engraving in the DOJ in DC….

“We must especially beware of that small group of selfish men who would clip the wings of the American eagle in order to feather their own nests.” -FDR, 1941

“I expect you will eventually find someone who is enough of a fool, or enough of a coward, to file your motion. But it was never going to be me.”

I’m shocked, SHOCKED to find right-wing commentators all of a sudden discovering their deep-seated opposition to the combination of forum-shopping and nationwide injunctions. It’s almost like folks who have been writing about this previously were genuinely concerned about the systemic effects…

These doggies lead very tough lives. #dogsofbluesky

Ron Howard FTW 🎯

Democratic leadership is acting like their job is to run in the next election while the government is collapsing. It’s like picking out new curtains for a room that’s on fire.
