A civil attorney who Trump enthusiast Lindsey Halligan brought in to prosecute the Letitia James case screwed up his initial appearance and the court had to give him step-by-step instructions about how to save a PDF.

If we ever re-establish some semblance of Constitutional order, I suspect any elected leadership that wants to try "let bygones be bygones" again re: Trump will find themselves eaten alive not only by their base but by the entire international order

A very incomplete list of things we wouldn't have done if we waited for the normies to care: - abolish slavery - child labor laws - votes for women - social security - fdic - welfare - medicare - medicaid - desegregation - women's sports

Ed Luce watching democracy die in the United States of America

everyone knows AI is gonna crash the economy and is just kinda standing around watching it happen. i wonder if there’s any visual stand-in for that kind of thing going on right now

Just an open, very direct admission that he is ordering extra-judicial executions, and for alleged crimes that do not carry the death penalty, even if the targets were to be arrested and convicted for smuggling drugs. No law or vague clause in the Constitution gives Trump the power to order this.

This is not a Kavanaugh stop. This is a Roberts murder.

NDAs ???? Man wrap this up www.politico.com/news/2025/10...

There are no circumstances where human beings should be without food. There are no qualifications that make someone undeserving of access to food. If you are a human being, you should get food. I don’t care about ability, job status, legal status, or anything else. If people are hungry, feed them.

There's a lot of abstract talk about nazis right now and I just want to bring it back to concrete reality for a second: Those motherfuckers tried to murder MY GRANDPARENTS.

it blows my mind that anyone is still pretending like trump is anything but a dictator, here is steve bannon talking about how they, in clear and certain terms, intends to install trump as president in 2028

does it have something to do with the literal richest men in the history of the world waging a longterm propaganda campaign on behalf of the Republican Party in exchange for wealth and power beyond human comprehension

Wondering when it'll finally dawn on everyone that the driving question for the next national election should be "are you going to dismantle the police state or not?" We've been veering toward boiling frog territory since at least the Patriot Act.

No Republican appointee on the Supreme Court wrote a word about why they are allowing this to happen tonight.

BREAKING: Jack Smith is requesting that Congress and the Justice Dept. let him testify in public. In new letters to the House and Senate Judiciary Committees, Smith says he wants to testify "in open hearings" because of "the many mischaracterizations" around his investigations.

Trump: "I don't think we're necessarily going to ask for a declaration of war, I think we're just gonna kill people that are bringing drugs into our country. We're going to kill them. They're going to be, like dead."

Since this keeps coming up the source of this is Liftoff by Eric Berger

In case you think this is a joke

Elon Musk couldn’t figure out how to make a pop tart without hurting himself

Your political loyalty must be to principles, not politicians! I don't know how to explain this basic thing to people who do not understand it.

Republicans know what they want: An Antebellum South slave gulag but for the entire world, with technology to punish and constrain. It's horrific and evil but they definitely want it and in rare instances that they retreat or compromise on that it's tactical to that end. bsky.app/profile/reph...

What is this "center?" What is the territory you wish to occupy? Where is it? Can you define it? Does it exist? Is the goal to occupy any ground you're given? What the fuck do you stand for? What are your values?

What negotiation wins by starting with concessions? What battle wins by starting with retreat? What war wins by starting with surrender?

"Win" what, in order to accomplish what, for whom.

NBC News finds that: -- ICE has shortened its training from 13 weeks to six. -- Nearly half of recruits couldn’t pass an open-book written exam. -- Recruits "are supposed to attest" they can pass the physical-fitness test, which requires them to run ... 6 mph. www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcn...

Dem leadership holds the Guinness World Record for most missed messaging opportunities. It's maddening.

Trump’s corrupt demand for a massive government payout will be decided by… his own former lawyers

The “parallel media” … 1/ x.com/kenbensinger...

SecDef announcing another (9th) lethal strike, again in the Pacific against an unspecified "designated terrorist organization." Claims these "DTOs are the 'Al Qaeda' of our hemisphere. Nope. No armed attack on US like 9/11. No AUMF. No armed conflict. Just more lawless premeditated killing.

How was this kept secret?? They obviously had to clean out east wing beforehand. How did not a single news outlet not know.??

Trump: To touch Confederate monuments is to launch an attack on our collective history. Also Trump: I unilaterally decided to destroy a third of the White House because I see Americans’ treasures as my own. www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

This is genuinely getting so absurd it’s becoming almost comical. This dude is literally a caricature of an internet poisoned 4channer. Countdown to somebody digging up him saying some incel shit and trying to find somebody’s address to SWAT.

Bring back earnestness and sincerity as virtues...

Why is Apple, Microsoft, Lockheed Martin, Blackstone, Google, OpenAI, Amazon and others financing the destruction of the WH and desecration of the grounds, something that is infuriating to huge chunk of the American population? Do you hate your customers that much?

to keep functioning a society must discourage baldfaced lying, especially by authorities

Donald Trump's tearing down of the East Wing is illegal, and our leaders need to be saying so. He is breaking the law and betraying the country. This has become a rule of law issue now. savingplaces.org/stories/nati...

tech.yahoo.com/article/ring... "Amazon is reportedly pitching its cloud and AI services to law enforcement agencies, and Ring [doorbell cam subsidiary of Amazon] is looking to work with Flock and other surveillance companies."

Put this picture in a billion 2026 ads

btw trump bombed another boat today

they're trying to send the national guard into portland to "protect" federal buildings

Congrats, The Atlantic and The New York Times, this is the country you've created.

This absolutely is Jeff Bezos’s fault. I feel sorry for the excellent journalists and other staff caught up in his mismanagement, but this is his doing. And it will only lead to the Post doing even worse, which will then — almost inevitably — lead to more layoffs.

Bonus primary points to which ever Democrat promises to demolish whatever fucking monstrosity ballroom Trump builds

holy crap

Trump 2.0 remains a live experiment in "can you do authoritarian consolidation entirely based on control of the information environment while repeatedly kicking your own coalition in the teeth" (I don't know what the answer is! the experiment is ongoing!)

This is not a joke. It actually happened.

The president is establishing the principle that he can order the murder of anyone he deems a threat. And Congress is letting it happen.

There is no difference between Trump destroying the East Wing and using a wrecking ball on the Washington Monument or Smithsonian. Just because he (temporarily) lives there doesn't give him the right to demolish the White House without Congressional approval.
