@ammarcampanajjar.bsky.social: "I've talked to staunch Republicans who have said to me a very powerful thing: Donald Trump lied to me. He promised no more wars and lower costs, and he's done the complete opposite. They feel betrayed.”

@ammarcampanajjar.bsky.social: “The one-two punch in saving our democracy and our economy is taking on corruption and tying that corruption to costs. It is not two separate things. Trump's grift, his greed, his corruption… all of that's connected.”

@julianastratton.bsky.social: “We need to speak out and remind taxpayers that this is their money being spent on things that no one has asked for — whether we're talking about this [UFC] match, whether we're talking about the Golden Ballroom.”

@julianastratton.bsky.social: “When people want to find money for something, they can find it. And we've heard this president say, ‘We don't have money for health care, we don't have money for child care, but here's how much money I want for a war that no one asked for.’"

Congrats to the GOP for forcing the entire country talk about @jamestalarico.bsky.social’s girlfriend, who it turns out is super hot 👍

@neildegrassetyson.com: "The people who want to colonize Mars so that we're a two-planet species, that's a nice thought, but it's not realistic... Go there as a vacation, to enjoy, but don't pretend that's an escape plan. It's simply not realistic given the cost that that would engender."

@tomsteyerhq.bsky.social: "The rule for a dictator is you have to do two things: you have to own the army, and you have to own the TV station. [Trump is], in effect, trying to own the TV station in the United States of America by controlling the information industry.”

@tomsteyerhq.bsky.social: "I'm the person in this race and the only person who will admit to wanting to tax billionaires like me more… And that's why billionaires are supporting everybody in this race but me, because they know that I'm the only person here who's really for structural change.”

@tomsteyerhq.bsky.social: "I started a business from scratch. He inherited $450 million from his poppy. I started a business and walked away from. it... He also has two ears and two eyes, but that doesn't make us the same person either.”

@tomsteyerhq.bsky.social: "Trump's a criminal... This [slush fund] is a crooked, completely illegal thing to do, and it's completely consistent with his behavior throughout his first and second terms. But in the second terms, his grifting has moved to a completely different level.”

@xavierbecerra.bsky.social: "Somebody pulls out a knife and says 'We're going to give you a tax credit if you come do your production in Sydney,' then we pull out a knife too. If somebody in Toronto says we've got to make it attractive for you to come — we pull out a gun. Fight fire with fire.”

@mattmahansj.bsky.social: "It's a 40% [production] tax credit. It's a 40% tax credit. It's uncapped. Dead simple. That uncertainty kills investment — and we're already paying the price."

@xavierbecerra.bsky.social: “As everyone talks about being able to take on Donald Trump, I'm the only one that really did it. I took him on toe-to-toe when I was attorney general. Not just once, not just twice, but over 120 times. And we beat him in court all the way to the Supreme Court."

Gavin Newsom announces that California will tax 100% of all funds any Californian receives from Trump's January 6th slush fund.

"Thanks to Jared Polis, Trump has a blueprint. He knows that if he attacks someone enough, if he threatens to sic his army of supporters on someone enough, if he uses the government as a cudgel against his enemies enough, they will relent and bend to his will."

US military veterans have just launched a major lawsuit against Trump to stop the construction of his giant arch, which would obstruct the view of Arlington National Cemetery. “It's disrespectful to those that I served with who didn't come back,” one veteran said. people.com/vietnam-vete...

BTC: Is Trump distracting us by releasing the UFO files? @neildegrassetyson.com: "If you're not releasing all the [UFO] files at once, that gives you other occasions for distraction... You want a real distraction? Bring out the alien. Then the world will be focused on that. Epstein who?"

New York Democrats have introduced a bill to tax 100% of all funds any New Yorker receives from Trump's January 6th slush fund.

@jamestalarico.bsky.social: "There's something broken in this country. Our political system is broken, our economic system is broken. But even our relationships with each other feel broken. And that's because the most powerful people in the world want it that way."

@jamestalarico.bsky.social: "Ken Paxton embodies this broken, corrupt political system... impeached three years ago by his own party for using his public office, his position of public trust, to enrich himself and his donors at our expense."

@jamestalarico.bsky.social: “Our campaign basically runs on BBQ these days. And if all they have is lying about me being a vegan, I feel pretty good about our chances in November... I mean, with the way the price of beef is going up, we all may be forced to be vegans at some point.”

@jamestalarico.bsky.social: "We're also seeing corruption in our religious institutions. We've seen scandals here in the state of Texas of faith leaders preying on kids... It's why I think you're seeing such a backlash to this corruption, because it's everywhere, across our country.”

@jamestalarico.bsky.social: “The number one issue should be comprehensive political reform. It should be getting big money out of our politics — banning corporate PACs, banning super PACs, overturning Citizens United, and banning members of Congress from trading stocks and enriching themselves."

@jamestalarico.bsky.social: "We already know who we're running against. We're running against the billionaire mega-donors and their puppet politicians. And that is embodied by Paxton or John Cornyn, because both of them are deeply corrupt."

@neildegrassetyson.com: "When they announce they're gonna release the [UFO] files... you know what I need? Bring out the alien. Is that too much to ask?"

@neildegrassetyson.com: "What are the chances that there's life elsewhere in the universe? And that is so high as to be a near certainty."

"When I asked Obama if aliens exist, his answer was essentially, 'yes they exist, but we don't have any evidence of it--" @neildegrassetyson.com: "Because he's scientifically literate... He's citing what any scientist would tell you about the likelihood of life in the universe."

The most disturbing part isn’t just the denial - it’s the commitment to it. The lengths these women are going to defend Trump at all costs, while he dehumanizes female journos daily, is truly something. Alas, they will never be picked.

The GOP’s full time job for the last several years is “go humiliate yourself on camera so the big special boy knows you are loyal to him”

Massie voted with Trump the vast majority of the time Of course the Epstein files was a major factor in his opposition to the Congressman

This is insane. I mean, I know we're all desensitised to this shit, but still.

Total clowns. Everyone knows that’s why felon went after Massie and MTG. They can pretend all day.

BTC: "Neither one of you think that the Epstein files had anything to do with Trump turning on Thomas Massie?" Both: "No!" BTC: "Everybody watching is going to know how clownish all of this is, that you are both pretending like the Epstein files had nothing to do with this."

"Most January 6 insurrectionists have already been treated to a pardon. Now they may also be looking at a payday. Trump’s $1.776 billion slush fund divided by 1,500 'patriots' comes out to more than a million dollars each. A million dollars. Per insurrectionist. Courtesy of the American taxpayer."
