"Enemy from within." "Communists, Marxists, fascists, radical left thugs, vermin." "Garbage" Somalis, "low IQ people." "She's an evil, sick, crazy, b..." Republicans want the left to tone down the rhetoric. Erm, have they listened to Donald Trump?? Zeteo put together this Trump montage:

It's A Good Time Not To Be A Fake Elector Schemer #CrooksAndLiars

the thing about the ballroom is that trump very clearly wants the white house to be a kind of living tomb where he doesn't ever leave

Some good news NY

I said it back in early 2025 but Elon Musk seizing the Treasury's payment systems and the federal payroll systems from career bureaucrats was one of the most important steps in achieving Trump's coup against our Constitution and no one was paying attention

Things to know

Big balls

Also Macron, speaking for many, has this explanation: "When you want to be serious, you don’t go around saying the opposite every day of what you just said the day before. And perhaps you shouldn’t talk every day.”

Trump to put his signature on U.S dollar bills which is appropriate because he thinks our money belongs to him.

Our rights Hold the line Never give up your rights

What we can do about it

The world is their pie

To be clear: there were THREE Republican Senators present for that vote. Also the Big Bullshit Bill funded billions to DHS so the statement that ICE and CBP are “unfunded” is patently untrue.

We need to end prediction markets for government action. NOW. This bone chilling story about a reporter’s life threatened bc he simply reported on Iran missile strikes: “After you make us lose $900,000 we will invest no less than that to finish you.”
