"The American public is increasingly alarmed about the dangers of Trump and Trumpism. But the elites are slower...Their behavior brings to mind the alleged remark by Alexandre Ledru-Rollin in 1848: 'There go the people. I must follow them, for I am their leader.'” open.substack.com/pub/thebulwa...

“Everything the administration has been doing with regard to the CFPB is illegal. From trying to shut down an agency that Congress created, down to my situation where they’re now coming for CFPB employees’ paychecks and health care and benefits.” www.huffpost.com/entry/russel...

In fairness, Gonzales appears to be an idiot and he probably doesn't even know what point he's getting at.

If you hear someone saying that they hope lawyers are ready to go to court to protect free and fair elections, I suggest you let them know that my law firm is already litigating more than 80 voting and election cases in 40 states.

This:

actually it's a commonwealth

The books are being written right now by all the journalists you see everyday on msm, the pundits they interview, and probably by the fuckers in the administration, themselves .

I would like to know how my prior colleagues, who have chosen to pursue leadership positions under this charlatan, justify ordering agents to break their oaths of office and open investigations on people simply for exercising their legal rights. Good luck gazing in the mirror when this is all over.

Yes, but Trump knows if Stephen Miller goes then the White House falls apart. He's the most powerful unelected man in the world and is essentially the head of DHS and DOJ.

A stunning read. As an aside, Senator Grassley should be ashamed of himself. (gift article) www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

"some say the Eagles won the last Super Bowl while others push back"

Literally, Lisa Murkowski & Thom Tillis & Mike Johnson & John Thune & Susan Collins & Brian Fitzpatrick & David Valadao & company should not be able to enter the Capitol or appear in the media without being bombarded with questions about why they aren't fulfilling their oaths right now. Focus.

This morning, when I asked Siri about the weather, all she said was “Your Tauntaun will freeze before you reach the first marker.”.

I wrote the guide you didn’t know you needed: Your cheat sheet on complicity for the people involved with Epstein (and the non-release of his files) open.substack.com/pub/asharang...

Some perspective: The S&P opened down -1.3% on Trump's Greenland saber-rattling. That's $750 billion of wealth destroyed -- roughly equal to estimates of the value of Greenland. And so ~in dollar terms~ his shenanigans have already cost the US one Greenland, and we've got nothing to show for it.

Repeat after me. The people that helped get us into this mess are not the ones to get us out of it.

Even if you give some of them the benefit of the doubt, they have been so woefully timid in calling out Trump’s corruption and daily flings with sheer madness, how can you possibly expect them to lead the charge against him and the oligarchs?

For those saying “oh but the cabinet are all sycophants.” Yes. We know. It’s called PRESSURE. You pressure the system until something gives. Micro cracks in the wall until some bricks start to come loose.

Providence, RI Tomorrow -January 20,2026 #ICEOUT

Dems need to stop nattering about "reforming ICE" or "alternative immigration enforcement" and just reopen Ellis Island. Immigration is America. Diversity is strength. Social Security needs tax income. (+ An inclusive pantry = better food.)

It’s a major award!

“The United States will not let men steal trophies from women…” - says guy who happily took the Nobel Peace Prize awarded to a woman

This was reported two days ago. Making sure it doesn't get flushed down the Great American Memory Hole. www.mediaite.com/politics/tru...

Congress must end the parasitic Musk’s govt subsidies. It’s cronyism at its worst. The poor & elderly lose food & healthcare benefits under the guise of fraud while the real fraudsters are billionaires like Elon. This is OUTRAGEOUS! Call Congress 5calls Support 50501, DCCC, Democracy Forward ACT

Is any commercial on Sirius not a scam? -“Medishare” “Christian” healthcare? A quick google search will tell you what a scams this is -Danica Patrick trying to sell auto warranties - another scam company that won’t pay -apocalyptic food companies -California Psychics And so many more

My Stop the Presses newsletter calls for a dramatic change of tactics by major media to produce "radically truthful” news that defeats the right-wing disinformation industry. Right now, the media are getting slam-dunked by fascist liars. Here’s a thread with my 10 main points. 🧵🧵🧵

Bill Watterson is my favorite cartoonist. I adored the relationship btw Calvin and Hobbes as a child. But as I've gotten older, these strips feel even more tender and insightful. My respect for him grew when I learned of his stance against merchandising. Such principles are almost unheard of today.

Just a reminder that that this snack company was/is owned by Big Balls Corristine’s father Charles Corristine. There products are now showing up on a lot of supermarket shelves (maybe mostly in north east.) Hope they rot there. They were bought out by Hershey last year. www.lesserevil.com

Scathing & great:

📌I had intended to write to you today about the cold-blooded murder of an innocent mother by masked U.S. government agents on a Minneapolis street Wednesday, and then the NYT was whistled by Trump to the WH to help put a megaphone to his never-ending stream of lies ... Here's what happened:

I think it is probably a bad idea to put clearly unhinged, angry psychopaths in federal law enforcement positions.

Here’s some things that can be done by a party out of power - file impeachment articles every day in the House - withhold unanimous consent in the senate and filibuster every nominee - be everywhere with comms saying this is lawless and impeachable

Better yet, disestablish all of DHS, and undo the nightmarish idiocies that we created in a panic 25 years ago. Reestablish the INS, get rid of ODNI, fix the damage from the Patriot Act, etc.

Bluesky community! This is my official NYC mayor account. I’ll be posting updates on what’s happening at City Hall and how we’re delivering for New Yorkers. It’s great to be here.

This:

Well, you did it. You "owned the libs". You also destroyed the world order, the rule of law, an American constitutional democracy. Now what? youtu.be/HzcFi6oFhaI

This is a test for Democrats right now. If you really want to grab the mantle of leadership and emerge as a frontrunner, you have to speak out forcefully and against ICE... Right now. No centrist mealy-mouthed bullshit.

Greenland is Trump’s favorite distraction trick that works every time. He’s not going to seize Greenland. He’s not going to buy it. He’s going to keep using it to distract the media. Every second of Greenland coverage is wasted time and a media win for Trump.

If this isn’t the new midterm billboard and yard signs what are we even doing? With the headline “If We Don’t Win, I Will Get IMPEACHED”-Trump

Whole thread:

"I doubt Senator Kelly will see this blog, and if he does see it, I imagine he will not be pleased with it. He’ll probably find it embarrassing. His humility likely makes him bristle at stuff like this. Well, that’s just too damn bad, Senator."

I’m running for Congress in NY-12, my home. We have a demented, criminal president running the country like a mob operation—government by the boss, for the boss. We need Democratic fighters who will defend the rule of law and deliver government by the people. Join us.

amazing how the entire machine can pivot within 24 hours. no need to slowly upsell the argument; just issue new marching orders

Mission Accomplished! All news now is about this bullshit Let’s forget about: Epstein Files Tariffs Health Care Donald Trump’s rotting corpse.

My hat is off to DaWokeFarmer and the job he’s doing. He is uniquely qualified to irritate the piss out of these ICE hoods. I’m glad he’s on our side. Keep it up, my dear man. Everyone in my family got ICE whistles in their stockings this year, so we’re doing our part! #Pinks #FuckICE #DaWokeFarmer

is he still president? THEN WHY THE FUCK ARE WE EVEN BOTHERING TO HAVE A NEW YEAR

Social Security is Being Sabotaged in Plain Sight A bombshell report from The Washington Post has pulled back the curtain on a deliberate campaign to gut Social Security from the inside out. 6 Million Cases Backlogged 12 Million Transactions Delayed 74 Million Americans Affected

I just want the same healthcare my congressman receives…

America, how long? How long are we going to tolerate an insane leader, a compromised Congress and a corrupt Supreme Court? How long?
