I should probably have just published this in the morning, but I had some thoughts about the East Wing — particularly given something Trump said during his 2020 speech accepting the GOP nomination. www.pbump.net/o/the-presid...

Brian Schatz: "This is not about money. There is enough money to bail out Argentina with $20b. There is enough money to purchase a brand new aircraft for $173m for Noem. There is enough money to renovate the WH ballroom. What there isn't enough money for under this Republican government is you."

ICYMI: Watch @benjaminwittes.lawfaremedia.org and @annabower.bsky.social discuss her article about how interim U.S. Attorney Lindsey Halligan reached out to her on Signal—and the conversation that followed. youtube.com/live/SZZyccE...

They always start with free speech. It sounds reasonable, doesn’t it? Free speech? And they can use it to shut down anyone who criticises them, because it’s all “free speech” After “free speech” it’s “protecting women and girls” And then it’s whatever they actually wanted.

You can just share my video from me instead of sharing a screen recording of my video from a content farm account that isn’t on the scene btw.

M.I.T. grew a spine, waiting for the other 8 to realize that appeasing a bully (or mob boss) doesn’t change the ending. It only slow walks it.

The President who doesn’t know how to send a private message versus a public post, is responsible for our nuclear codes

ICE admits that up to 50% of arrests in its Chicago raids are "collateral.” These aren't statistics. They are parents taken from their children, neighbors taken from our communities. When does a "collateral" U.S. citizen child's trauma matter? This isn't law enforcement; it's a campaign of terror.

My message to Kristi Noem is clear: Get out of Chicago.

First they shut down the government. Then they tampered with federal workers’ emails to shift the blame. This is corruption in broad daylight.

The government is in full shutdown and the Republicans are refusing to call the House back into session. Want to know why? Because we have secured the final vote on releasing the Epstein Files and they don’t want it out. Call GOP and tell them to swear in @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social.

I predicted this, and folks were like, no m, no, no they're not going to just randomly invade homes. YES. YES THEY ARE. /1 youtu.be/vOXOWAhFz0A?...

Signs of psychosis. No biggie

AOC: And when Republicans use a legislative mechanism to gut the American health care system, we have to use a legislative mechanism in order to restore it and to fight for it.

3 questions: who in this administration holds stock in GSK, who is on their board & what law firms stand to profit from the soon-to-be lawsuits against Tylenol? Follow the $$$

Dots Easily Connected…. the dude who LITERALLY wrote the FCC chapter of Project 2025 is head of the FCC currently. ⚫️ ⚫️ (connect them please)

You can’t talk about cleaning up crime in D.C. while a 34-count convicted felon is running the country.

Next time someone on the right claims all the political violence in this country is coming from the left, not the right, do please show them this. You're welcome

This may explain why there’s an aggressive response to people who merely post Kirk’s own words. It threatens the existence of the alternate Kirk - the motivational speaker that had been marketed to young kids and white Christian groups through selective quotation & clips.

I have no words for this.

We can condemn all political violence and at the same time remember the terrible things Charlie Kirk has said. #EndGunViolence #GunControlNow #EndPoliticalViolence

This thread ⬇️

Elizabeth Warren on people who say Dems needs to tone down their rhetoric: "Oh, please. Why don't you start with the president of the United States? And every ugly meme he's posted and every ugly word."

The president of the United States just declared war, actual military war, not a metaphorical one, on a major American city, and one governed by his political opponents. In any other period, this would be impeachment-worthy.

Rep. Quigley: It's time to watch what this president is doing. It's instructive in history to remember that, often tyrants are elected democratically at first….

Pritzker: To the members of the press who are assembled here today and listening across the country, I am asking for your courage to tell it like it is. This is not a time to pretend here that there are two sides to this story.

This is stark

Phang: The Constitution says representatives shall be determined by adding to the whole number of free persons. It doesn’t say you’re only supposed to count U.S. citizens. Trump says you’ve got to redo the census but can’t include “illegals”? Tough shit—the Constitution says otherwise.

Crockett: This is a person that has a problem with people of color. When we look at who he says are low IQ, even though when you look at his cabinet—this has to be the most incompetent cabinet we have ever had in the history of this country.

Hochul: "This is a war. We are at war. And that's why the gloves are off and I say, bring it on."

Marco Rubio, Stephen Miller, Kirsti Noem, Joseph Mazzara, Emil Bove, Drew Sargent, and everyone else involved in planning, executing, and obstructing justice around the CECOT imprisonments are responsible for Andry's torture and rape. Each bears a share of the blame. Don't ever let them forget it.

When I was little, the U.S. military came to our home at gunpoint and took me and my family away. We were imprisoned for years in barbed wire camps simply because we were Japanese American. I have spent my life telling that story, hoping it would never be repeated.

Wow. Trump says that Texas families who are concerned about the lack of warning before the deadly floods are “evil”: “Only a very evil person would ask a question like that.” (clip: @atrupar.com)

Fascism. Call it what it is.

ICE needs to end. newrepublic.com/post/197875/...

Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz after touring "Alligator Alcatraz": "These detainees are living in cages. The pictures you've seen don't do it just. They are essentially packed into cages. 34 detainees per cage...they get their drinking water & they brush their teeth where they poop, in the same unit"

"The misrepresentation of Zohran is almost unprecedented to me... He is not an antisemite." @billdeblasionyc.bsky.social on how he challenges people who say Mamdani is antisemitic to provide proof & they never can, it's just what they heard. My full interview with him: zeteo.com/p/bill-de-bl...

These people are out of control. www.nbcsandiego.com/news/local/i...

They won’t want to be reminded of this, so please, remind them over and over.
