I think - given what's happening in Chicago, Portland, LA (and coming soon to a city near you) - that we need to start acknowledging that the administration has started a hot civil war. And they are escalating.

DISNEY: "OK, we are putting Jimmy Kimmel back on the air. You can resubscribe now." ME: "I unsubscribed because you immorally bowed to fascism. I'm not going to resubscribe because you immorally bowed to finances."

Observations: 1. Watch the crowd & public safety staff to see how people act during a real assassination. Look again at the Butler PA incident 2. When DJT disappeared there was a spike in the Pentagon Pizza Index. We all thought it was bcs he was dead 3. No one is talking about Epstein Files now

Worth remembering today. Statements like this relieve any obligation to feel empathy for him in this moment.

Reminder: we don't need Ghislaine Maxwell to get to the truth. It's sitting in files inside the DOJ that they could release TODAY. She is a liar, a child rapist, and a sex trafficker. Blanche is meeting with her to buy her silence, nothing more.

My simple message for this July 4th: Fuck the Fascists

If a bill is so bad that you have to exempt entire states from its consequences to win the votes you need—just don't pass the bill! Why do people in Washington state deserve Medicaid & SNAP cuts, but others don't? This is plain wrong, and it's just no way to legislate.

Why is the world allowing Israel to do everything it can to instigate WW3 and play the victim in the process?

"Tin soldiers and Donald coming We're finally on our own This summer I hear the drumming ... dead in ...." (it'll be more than 4 for sure. These tin soldiers are itching for it)

100% this

I keep seeing references to falling gas prices, but yesterday I paid $4.259/gal. For Regular not Premium

You know that Twilight Zone episode where the kid has amazing psychic powers and can make people disappear with his mind and the entire town is hostage to him and has to cater to his every whim? That’s us right now.

If he cannot carry out his agenda without breaking our laws, violating our Constitution, ignoring the judiciary, alienating our allies and crashing the economy… It’s a criminal agenda.

Pete Hegseth installed a make-up station at the Pentagon. JD Vance loves a smoky dark eyeliner. Trump cakes on orange base till he resembles an Oompa Loompa. And these guys say LGBTQs are threatening gender norms?

I fear, given the state of the world and the response within large segments of the Catholic church to Francis, whoever the new Pope is they will be an ultra-conservative reactionary.

🤣🤣

I now believe that the man the government admits was rendered to the El Salvador gulag by mistake is dead, which is why they: 1. Won't tell the court anything about his current status, and 2. Why they say they can't bring him back

Every time another Associated Press notification pops up on my phone I can't help but to hope it's the news we're all waiting for

If someone can buy a greased path to US citizenship for a $5m "gold card" then the only crime undocumented immigrants have committed is that of poverty.

No, Corey Booker didn't technically filibuster anything. BUT what he did was an historic & powerful act of PROTEST. Taking over the floor of the Senate for a 24+ hrs act of protest of the actions of the sitting POTUS was no less legitimate or more performative than taking to the streets.

Dear Democratic Members of Congress, Stop telling me about what he's doing. We can all see it. Start telling me about what you're doing to stop it! Signed, Americans

Pete Hegseth is a f*cking liar. This is so clearly classified info he recklessly leaked that could’ve gotten our pilots killed. He needs to resign in disgrace immediately.

there are like three overlapping scandals with signalgate — illegal distribution of sensitive government materials by top members of the administration, illegal attempt to circumvent records laws and possible unlawful use of military force — and democrats should be screaming about them all

Pete B dropping the f-bomb. That's how seriously fucked up and illegal this is.

Also let’s be clear about why they’re talking over Signal — they are attempting to skirt their obligations under the federal record preservation laws and ensure no records exists for public review. It’s incredibly illegal, but what do they do that isn’t?

This American government is evil

Sanders: I'm not a mathematician but I do know that 99% is a hell of a lot bigger number than 1%. I do know that if we stand together, we are the vast majority of people. We can defeat trumpism

BREAKING: 34,000 people have showed up in Denver, Colorado this evening to see Bernie Sanders and AOC fight oligarchy and authoritarianism.

I'm looking forward to this enterprise. I enjoy their individual content on TT.

It's within his power to save Tesla. He could do it by divesting himself of Tesla stock, stepping down as CEO, and freeing them of the burden of association with him. They could then go back to just being a company that makes electric cars. Stock value would shoot up.

Ask yourself: Why would anyone who wasn’t an asset of the Russian government do this? Why would any decent human being do this?

The USA is a zombie republic. Functionally dead but appearing to have signs of life from a distance to those not paying attention. And if you're not careful it will eat your brain.

None of us are safe when the constitution is only a suggestion with no enforceability

People who continue to say, "if X happens we're going to be in a constitutional crisis," are living in denial. The constitutional crisis already began. With Trump now defying Federal court orders in order to "disappear" people without charges or due process, we are in a constitutional collapse.

I strongly suspect this recent piece from Prof. David Knoll is about to be come extremely relevant and widely read. "Even a rogue marshal’s service, in other words, is not an insurmountable obstacle to courts enforcing the rule of law. If courts have the courage, the legal tools are there."

I’m so tired of hearing Rubio & other rightwingers now claiming that if you’re on a green card you’re a ‘guest’ in this country. BS. You’re a lawful permanent resident. The clue is in the name. If someone is a permanent resident in your home, are they the same as the guests who come and go? Come on.

They started with the undocumented, then they went after visa holders and permanent residents, now it's naturalized citizens. How many times must history rhyme and repeat before we realize what's going on?

NEW: Here are the 10 “democratic” senators that voted to sell out veterans, the American people, and their colleagues in the House. Cortez Masto Durbin Fetterman Gillibrand Hassan King Peters Schatz Schumer Shaheen

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House. We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication. They own what happens next.

Yes. This! @aoc.bsky.social

Now that Senate Democrats have capitulated to MAGA the only things left holding our constitutional democracy together and preventing us from all-out Trumpian Dictatorship are the votes of John Roberts and Amy Coney Barrett.

Well, that's it. The Democrats are an abject failure.

The Washington Post used to say, Democracy Dies in Darkeness. Well, it's dying in broad daylight now.

That's right, George!
