Halligan may have obtained the indictment the president wanted, but it...one thing to get a grand jury to indict. Getting a conviction is an entirely different matter. New from me for @brennancenter.org A discussion of the flawed Comey indictment. www.brennancenter.org/our-work/ana...

Concern over low birth rates was what the theocracy in Margaret Atwood’s Handmaid’s Tale used to come to power.

Too early for “Elf on a Shelf,” so now we have “Goof on the Roof.”

Pardon Watch 👀: One thing about Trump is that he tends to pardon people for crimes he has been accused or appears guilty of. It's a weird psychological thing, sort of a "self-pardon by proxy." I observed this very early in his first administration, as I pointed out here www.cnn.com/2018/06/05/o...

There are no liberals or progressives that would object to those files being released that aren't on them. Let that sink in

The Supreme Court has allowed the Trump administration to dismantle the Department of Education. This will also allow them to dismantle civil rights oversight, dismantle protections for students with disabilities, and enable the funneling of public money into private schools.

Firing everyone who could tell you what you're doing is unethical or illegal does not make what you're doing ethical or legal.

The new tariff letters from Trump to many nations are not serious threats. They are like everything Trump does -- distractions from his problems. Keep talking about Epstein.

It's an insane letter to be sending to anyone, let alone the head of a neighbouring country. But all I want to do is correct his grammar and punctuation, as the content of the letter is meaningless. It's a distraction. Most of what Trump has done since July 2015 has been about distraction.

Yesterday, Trump unleashed economic chaos on the world. Today, and for the rest of the week, he's in Florida hosting a Saudi owned golf tournament.

Mad King Donald has levied tariffs on the penguins. No one in government can speak up? #MadKingDonald heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/p/april-2-20...

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive. No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief. 1/ A 🧵 to explain his plan and how we fight back.

Worst. Premier. Ever. #NeverVoteCon - Ontario’s last decent con premier was in the 70s…. That decade and century are long gone. The cons aren’t in it for you.

It's worse than that. The archives handles the certifications for the Electoral College and the Electors.

Members of the Pentagon Press Corps are selected by the Secretary of Defense. The radio member was NPR, and the newspaper member was the New York Times. Secretary Pete Hegseth is replacing NPR with Breitbart News, and replacing the New York Times with the New York Post. No, it's no joke.

There has not been a word from Ford as his buddy Musk endangers all of our drinking water 💧. #onpoli

Afternoon boost in case you missed my collection of dumb jokes and wisecracking commentary.

The fact that Trump CAN force the AG to drop the case IS the problem. It’s WHY it’s important the case go public. Trump WILL destroy any evidence of his crimes once he’s in office. If NOT public now? They will never be known. Expect he will destroy the Russian investigation, too.

Merrick Garland, Drop the appeal to reinstate the indictments for Nauta and De Oliveira. The Trump DOJ will do it anyway. Release both volumes of the Special Counsel report. Do not become an unwitting accomplice in their efforts to suppress the truth. Sincerely, Sane America

Republicans still trying to steal the Dem win #NorthCarolina youtu.be/Xzh1904ujRI?...

I realized today that I am more powerful than Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk. I can say Fuck You Donald Trump. They may be richer but I am more powerful. And that is a trade I would make every single day.

If you ever share / repost anything, please let it be this

"Does Musk try to edge Trump aside even as Trump has the Oval Office? Could DOGE replace MAGA as the ascendant authoritarian movement?...Trump seems to be staying awake nights. It has been his movement. He’s Lenin. But Stalin loiters in the wings." www.thebulwark.com/p/worlds-gre...

Seriously who the fuck went through the CR and said wait a minute deep fake porn should be legal?

Everyone start calling them President Musk and VP Trump. The orange baby will break up with his boyfriend in like three days.

People are starting to call him Vice President Donald Trump. This will not sit well with him, and I therefore encourage everyone to do the same.

For Elon Musk, $250 million is the equivalent of $26.21 for someone who makes $50k a year in salary.

New in PN: Trump's walk back on lowering prices is a media failure 'The mainstream press enabled Trump’s scam by helping him create an impression that he had an actual plan instead of reporting the obvious truth — that he was offering nothing but bluster and empty talking points all along."

Can't wait to watch Mitch McConnell vote in favor of RFK Jr.'s nomination to be the head of HHS along with his lawyer who sued the FDA to revoke the polio vaccine's approval. Mitch McConnell suffered from polio as a child. Watch, he'll vote for RFK Jr. anyway.

How are you gonna feel when Trump pardons every single criminal that broke into The Capital in an attempt to disrupt the peaceful transfer of power, threatened to kill Mike Pence, and caused the deaths of at least 5 Americans, four of whom were capital police officers. @harrydunn

Republicans 'took the easy way out,' says Democratic Rep. Sean Casten, who introduced a resolution demanding the release of the Ethics Committee report investigating Matt Gaetz. Keep the pressure on and contact Congress here: bit.ly/49u497B #ResistTrump

Now seems like a good time to remind you that the Pentagon just failed its seventh consecutive annual audit.

No care for veterans, children, the sick, and for the vulnerable incarcerated population.

Let me rephrase my last post: The people that gave convicted felon Trump a GET OUT OF JAIL CARD by voting for him are now mad that Biden gave HIS SON a get out of jail card. They are either stupid, hypocrites or both.

The handwringing lectures about how the left has no choice but to stay on Twitter are even more ridiculous when you remember that the far right used a series of alternative media — from direct mail to talk radio to Fox News to Breitbart to Gab, Parler and Truth Social — as their path to victory.

Thanks President Biden and VP Harris.

When your MAGA uncle wonders why Trump is threatening tariffs and raising the prices of everything, after he repeatedly promised to do the opposite, look him straight in the eye and gently whisper: "It was never about you...and now he doesn't need you anymore"

Trump is seizing control of the investigative and prosecutorial powers of the state by staffing them with the most conspiratorial and blindly loyal nominees : Gaetz/Bondi, Patel, Gabbard. Political retribution is his priority. The rest of governing he doesn’t care about.

Here is what Kushner admitted to when he pled guilty.
