Why does it take a BRITISH newspaper to break a story like this? Where the hell is the American media? 🤨

Imagine if Richard Nixon had just tweeted out the Watergate scandal rather than putting it on secret tapes. That’s what this is.

Everything Trump does is intended to enrich himself and his wealthy cronies while incrementally seizing power from Congress in a variety of areas to wield himself as an authoritarian while Republicans in Congress acquiesce.

“...Candace Owens should have to prove she’s human."

Disney/ABC have a responsibility to refuse to participate in corruption. Kimmel must be reinstated. If Disney/ABC agree to this extortion then perhaps creatives + workers should consider collective action to push back. Same w/buying park + cruise tickets if they bow. People have power. Ask Target

Fetterman was the only D senator to vote for the House passed CR. He caucuses with republicans now, so he might as well switch parties. He betrayed PA voters who put him over the top by lying about his platform.

further evidence of Pennsylvania’s superiority

honestly, kudos to him for this

IYKYK.

They are a bunch of 3rd graders.

MAGA's gonna have a normal one over this

This is the playbook, folks. If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away. Do not be quiet in this moment.

See this is very sharp, but it's the kind of thing that should populate the budget bill. Any illegal impoundment should result in the immediate elimination of the presidential travel budget, for example.

His words of unity just never quite seem sincere. This article explains a lot.

As news of Jimmy Kimmel's suspension broke, I was hosting my show. Listeners immediately called the show demanding a boycott of all ABC/Disney shows, cable channels, theme parks, etc. They're 100% right. We have the power. It's time to use it. Do NOT support those who empower Trump's fascist dreams!

Becoming increasingly clear we’re gonna have to build a parallel infrastructure for all the media we really love. The reason all of this is happening under the color of law is hyperconsolidation, dissent being traded straight up for merger approval, or fear of harassment.

"Nexstar, it should be noted, is currently attempting to purchase one of its major rivals for $6.2 billion — a merger that would require express FCC approval.” www.vox.com/politics/461...

Well, what do Germans know about creeping fascism anyway?

SNL should run a normal show, with the slight addition that every sketch has three or four men dressed up like ICE agents and FCC officials standing in the background looking menacing. Maybe they disappear Colin Jost in the middle of Weekend Update too.

I believe this to my core. They're using trans people as a test case to dismantle individual rights in the US.

In his new piece--which is largely about the reaction to his last piece--Ezra Klein says that he is deeply shaken by Charlie Kirk's murder essentially because they were in the same business: They both did public politics. This is honest on his part. It's also the problem. >

Today's the day: Your taxpayer dollars are now being used to fix up a “free” plane Qatar “gifted” to Donald Trump. Up to $1 BILLION going to a plane that Trump's planning on keeping after he leaves office. So much for getting rid of waste, fraud, and abuse.

I found this post insightful about the controlled yet contradictory information being released about the CK murder and the effects of that dynamic on us as individuals and a population:

This text is buried in a larger bill. Don’t want Marco Rubio to be personally responsible for revoking people’s passports based on thought crimes? Call your reps about it!

to state the obvious, immediately leaking personal details to the press about somebody cooperating with a murder investigation is a great way to encourage people to not cooperate with future investigations

He’s on BlueSky & you can thank him for *effective* good trouble. @modestholdings.com A very sincere thanks from me & my entire family, Chairman Green. We need more people to act as you just have. Everyone take this moment to steel yourself to be this brave & stubborn if it’s ever your turn.

I hope I have given fidelity, and that everyone viscerally understands: You will have to come through me.

New, w/ @mulchy.bsky.social & @djbyrnes1.bsky.social: ICE shot & killed an immigrant in the Chicago suburbs yesterday. Then they immediately gave a misleading account of events. Chicago erupted in chaos and a father who lived here for decades is dead. This is what really happened:

The fact that Matthew Dowd lost his job for pointing out Charlie Kirk’s hate speech, while Brian Kilmeade openly suggests we should euthanize the homeless and there is zero outrage, shows exactly what is terribly wrong with today’s political mainstream media.

a rational person would look at a political party who tried to lie us into a civil war over a podcaster until they found out the shooter was one of them and run the other way. a healthy media would look at the last 24 hours as a gut check to make sure they don't lie us into more tragedies.

The most sane, insightful piece I have read concerning where we are today. Bravo.

It is quite simply dishonest to describe TPUSA as a “free speech” organization and not even mention the “Professor Watchlist,” as NPR just did. Reporting on a crime does not entail adopting the victim’s views.

You are the VP of the United States, you could easily do both. www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...

idk man if I had just lost my kid to a school shooting and the news cycle was dominated by people loudly mourning the loss of a guy whose life’s work was radicalizing people, largely children, into thinking that’s a cool and normal thing to do while contributing nothing else, I’d probably go insane

Utah Gov. Spencer Cox: The first guarantee of the Declaration of Independence is life Also Spencer Cox: I want to remind people that we have the death penalty here in Utah

My main observation from the last few hours of monitoring US social media is that Democrats are universally denouncing political violence and calling for calm while MAGA are escalating language and openly lusting for retribution against broad categories of people they identity as their enemies.

People are following federal agents around DC w/the Imperial March. 😘 CHICAGO!! Will add some basic ICE melting🧊 resources below. Plz add other resources/ideas, & let’s get sub threads by city, so eg one person can start a Boston reply thread and everyone can add stuff to that thread — ? 🧵

They all knew what he was doing.

what a humiliating way for don jr. to find out his dad sends birthday cards.

During his 1965 debate with William F. Buckley at Cambridge, James Baldwin described the shock of discovering, as a child, that "the flag to which you have pledged allegiance, along with everybody else, has not pledged allegiance to you." SCOTUS again ensures another generation will feel this pain.
