Donald Trump is telling his DOJ to prosecute people involved in defeating him in 2020. He will claim the 2025 California referendum was fraudulent. He is going to try to impose voter ID and ban mail-in and early voting for 2026. I will do everything I can in the courtroom and in public to stop him.

Former Trump official lowering the morality bar into the core of the earth

1. Reagan’s speech is real 2. It’s public domain 3. Americans pay the cost of the added 10% tariffs, not Canadians 4. Trump keeps lying because he thinks you’re all too stupid to fact check 5. The average family will pay an extra $4900 this year because his tariffs

this is what will happen if mamdani makes bus rides free

Yup. It's really the perfect metaphor for all his crimes: Abuse of process Open corruption Destruction of the notion of "public" Bad taste All during a government shutdown necessitated by tax cut for some of the zillionaires who paid for the ball room.

Whoever is the next Democratic presidential candidate should vow to tear down the hideous ballroom and rebuild the Rose Garden, I bet there are a lot of votes in that

News on Trump boat bombings --> Now that SouthCom Commander Alvin Holsey has resigned, likely over the bombings, ranking Armed Services Dem Adam Smith tells me committee Ds will demand Holsey's sworn testimony and press Rs to join them. Smith spoke to us on the pod: newrepublic.com/article/2019...

Some very big news this morning: the documentary film on which I was Impact Producer concerning Joe Manchin and his evisceration of the Democratic Party to benefit big energy and poison WV is now available for streaming on Prime. www.primevideo.com/detail/Runni...

This is how desperate Trump is to keep Ghislaine Maxwell from telling the truth about his relationship with her former boyfriend Jeffrey Epstein. 😳👇

Read this if you own a home.

"The U.S. is two economies. There's an enormous AI boom going on, huge investments, particularly in data centers. If you took that out of the numbers and you just looked at the non-AI parts of the economy, it's basically flatlining. We're on the cusp of a non-AI recession." -- Me

“With your patient and rigorous work, you can act as a barrier against those who, through the ancient art of lying, seek to create divisions in order to rule by dividing,” he said. “You can be a bulwark of civility against the quicksand of approximation and post-truth...” apnews.com/article/pope...

Later on in the video, Vance lies and says they have to do mass firings to preserve resources to use in other parts of the govt. This is not how it works. The people fired didn’t have any funding, so firing them doesn’t free up any money. They fired people because they want to and lied about it.

I teach a history of antifascism course @ruhistorydept.bsky.social and figured I'd start an ongoing thread this semester to share some insights from course readings and recommend some great works on antifascism. 🧵

These are agents who were sent AFTER the violent insurrection was well underway. Kash Patel issued a statement that said that after a fringe right wing outlet reported it falsely. But Trump chooses to run with the lie from them rather than the statement from his FBI Director.

Do you mean to say LOOK, A RICH JEW! GET HIM! doesn't stand up in court?

George was just trying to get to work. ICE pepper-sprayed him, dragged him from his car, locked him in a detention center, and placed him on suicide watch. He even missed his young daughter’s birthday in the process. This man is a veteran and American citizen. Don't look away.

HA! How much is Stephen Miller a propagandist? He’s saying the building in Chicago raided by DHS, where children were zip-tied and citizens dragged out, was “full of Tren de Aragua terrorists.” Even DHS’s own account claims just TWO gang members total — and even that is a highly suspect claim!

Picture how big the Hoover Dam is. An absolute unit. The Hoover Dam has a power capacity of 2 gigawatts (GW). The solar farm that the Admin just cancelled could have produces 6.2 GW of power. That's more than 3 Hoover Dams.

Not for nothing but if you're high profile and need to flee the US, don't tell anyone in advance. It's also most certainly better to leave via a smaller land border crossing and catch your flight from Canada or Mexico. Much less ability for the feds to prevent you from leaving that way.

In addition to gifting Trump a jet, Qatar is building a $5.5 billion Trump golf resort in Qatar, are major investors in two Trump developments in Saudi and Oman, among other things.

Bray is a historian at Rutgers who received death threats after landing on Turning Points USA's Professor Watchlist. As a result, he announced he was moving to Europe. And then this happened. This kind of harassment and abuse of scholars is Charlie Kirk's legacy and it's only getting worse.

One thing @govpritzker.illinois.gov does here, which WE ALL need to do more often, is lead with Trump's crimes. A sex assaulted fraudster serial felon who freed HUNDREDS of cop assailants--and some terrorists--on his first day is trying to claim Democrats are criminals.

i think it is cool that a government run by fanatical bigots is on track to plunge the economy into a mountain and cause a food crisis

JB Pritzker and Gavin Newsom are doing something new and important: They understand Stephen Miller's theory of fascist power politics, and they've developed a theory on how to combat it. More Dems need to reckon with Miller's understanding of the moment. New from me: newrepublic.com/article/2014...

Stephen Miller said the quiet part out loud. Trump has “plenary authority,” then suddenly went silent. Their plan wasn’t to be public yet. Clearly, someone hit the panic button in his earpiece. It gets weirder: CNN uploaded the interview with the “plenary authority” comment edited out. 1/2

Horrific reporting from the AP on the Myanmar families watching their kids starve to death from Trump and Musk’s aid cuts apnews.com/article/myan...

Jack Smith didn't "tap" anyone's phone. He got phone records of potential insurrection suspects via lawful grand jury subpoenas. Just so happens some of those suspected of participating in January 6th were republican members of congress. If you don't want you phone records subpoenaed...

No one should cover this case without also noting the involvement of ADF, which has made up cases before with fake plaintiffs. ADF folks are embedded in our government now. Mike Johnson worked for ADF. And in 2020, it was the head of ADF who wrote the major suit Trump filed to overturn the election.

The disrespect and contempt they show for Democrats in Congress is illiberal, authoritarian and just stunning.

As right wingers make shit up about free medical care for "illegals," don't forget the medical care necessitated by Kristi Noem's goons. www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Ddz...

Donald Trump has delivered the two most dangerous speeches by a president in our nation’s history: 1. Jan. 6, 2021: Inciting a mob to target his own VP in an attempt to overturn a democratic election. 2. Sept. 30, 2025: Declaring war against American cities in a speech before military leaders.

Come for the inspiration of courts are "a place where we get to go in and talk about truth" and stay for the comparison of Trump and raising a small child.

The image they shared showed riot police and a crowd with flares and red smoke, designed to support Trump's claim that Portland's protests were out of control, but was actually a digital composite of two unrelated photographs from different South American countries. www.rawstory.com/trump-oregon...

Every crisis is an opportunity. This is the moment for Dems on Capitol Hill to call a news conference and make clear: Not one dime to fund the federal government until Trump withdraws his unlawful orders and agrees not to send troops to occupy Democratic-run cities

This is a breathtaking abuse of the law and power by the President of the United States. America is on the brink of martial law. Do not be silent.

At this rate of decline, the Annual Maximum Arctic Sea Ice Volume (in April) will be as low as what the Annual Minimum (in September) was in 1980... by the early 2040s. Think 'bout that.

We fought a revolution so that we would not be subject to the rule of a king who could make law by decree. An executive order does not overturn the Constitution.

Again, the entire DC press is wired for the GOP. Politico's Hill reporters have always been among the most wired. And then you get to Rachel Bade. Entirely different category. Even Jake Sherman says, how can I match that?
