Comey: "I'm grateful the court ended the case against me, which was a prosecution based on malevolence & incompetence... I was inspired by the career people who refused to be part of this travesty. It cost some of them their jobs, but it preserved their integrity, which is beyond price"

America needs more patriots like Senator Mark Kelly and fewer miserable cowards like Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth.

you fire right back at them and you FIRE RIGHT AWAY.

@captmarkkelly.bsky.social Keep up the good fight! We're all with you!

NEWS: I spent the past 24 hours going through major MAGA accounts on Twitter, and a bombshell development has become clear: most of the right-wing ecosphere is being fed propaganda from foreign actors. This impacts elections. This impacts discourse. This is major. Subscribe to support my work:

Lol

Oddly enough, in media coverage of Dems' video warning against carrying out illegal orders, there's very little discussion of *whether it's actually reasonable to fear Trump is giving illegal commands or not.* The evidence is strong that he is. Media should say so: newrepublic.com/article/2035...

If you dare to displease the despot, you will be declared an enemy of the state and every lever of it will be deployed against you.

Dude fuck it. Call the bluff, strike Venezuela, show the Russian AGAIN have no gas, then double-down on supplies to Ukraine. God, now I wanna play this like a Paradox game.

🇻🇪🇷🇺 According to Kremlin sources, Vladimir Putin has officially declared Venezuela a strategic partner of Russia, pledging comprehensive political, economic, and military support to defend the country against any external threats amid escalating tensions with the United States.

Oh man the Cold War is so back baby!

He rots in place, not quite dead but not really alive. Surrounded by bloodthirsty, superstitious fools who rule over the ruins of a civilization so great they can't begin to comprehend what made it so great. And when he finally dies, the whole thing goes down in flames. The right still can't meme.

They're running the govt like a fucking bored Paradox player

I am not going to suggest anyone because (a) it's too early, (b) it could be someone we haven't even thought of, and (c) I don't want my replies to fill up with why Candidate X is so bad/awesome, etc Get through the midterms. Those will be incredibly important.

Trump's authoritarian project will collapse in on itself because it doesn't understand the concept of consolidation. These are people you want on your side, and yet they're torching those relationships. Eventually that bet gets called.

Twitter's new feature that reveals where accounts originate doesn't reveal many surprises.

Epstein emails (2.5 GB) Approximately 20,900 unredacted emails and file attachments sent and received by Jeffrey Epstein's [email protected] email address over nineteen years. ddosecrets.com/article/epst... Help us keep publishing: donorbox.org/ddosecrets

If every Ukrainian concern was addressed then the Russians won't support it. We'll see how things shake out. Hopefully this puts pressure on the Russians to look like the bad guys (spoiler they are).

Unitary executive (Trump as the executive is unitarily not in the room)

Can't wait for prices to spike from the demand he's causing by saying prices will spike and people should stock up

This. Right-wing grift is significantly more prevalent than left-wing grift because there's money in the ecosystem and an audience that wants that kind of content. Audience and incentive lined up for this rage-bait-by-non-Americans culture.

Mark Kelly: "The message he sent a couple days ago was he declared that loyalty to the Constitution is now punishable by death. Those are serious words coming from the president. He's trying to intimidate us. But I'm not going to be intimidated."

I hope all the libs who say "just move out of your red state if you hate living under tyranny" realize that you sound as idiotic as Bessent here

And the right is significantly easier to grift than the left. Easy audience with clear financial incentives.

"Oh you're hurting on cash? Just fuckin move nerd" Love to see it

Either 1. No one is on the same fucking page, or 2. This deal is SO TOXIC that someone feels they need to lie to disrupt the process

okay so here’s the actual bad part of the article “oh it never affected my coverage” horse and also shit and what the fuck is Lizza doing sitting on this while RFK takes a buzz saw to American health so he can sell substack subscriptions ghouls, the lot of them

neither of these people should ever work in journalism again and New York magazine should reexamine everything she ever wrote RFK should, of course, never work anywhere at all

i promise i don’t mean to high horse this but if you’re thinking about giving lizza ten bucks there are a lot of good independent journalists whose work you could subscribe to for a month instead

I'm not reading it. You could not pay me to read it. They can all go fuck themselves and go to therapy. Ain't reading them RFK love notes.

In her resignation statement, MTG breaks very dramatically with the secret-plan conspiracy theorists about what’s happening in DC.

CNN: In the last couple of weeks or so, she's become kind of an ally on some issues. What do you make of this? Auchincloss: No, John, she hasn't.

Look I don’t relish reposting Fox News but this is objectively hilarious

THIS JUST IN: Socialism won

Zohran Mamdani standing beside the President of the United States just said that the US is funding Israel's genocide and yet can't take care of its own unhoused children on live television. I never thought I'd see something like that in my lifetime

I don't think you need to think there will be long term shifts in Trump's policies or behavior (there won't be) to enjoy what just happened, sometimes it's good to enjoy things that are funny in the moment

Working people have been left behind in New York. In the wealthiest city in the world, one in five can't afford $2.90 for the train or bus. As I told Trump today— it’s time to put those people right back at the heart of our politics.

Trump is now defending Mamdani in response to loaded questions from Fox News. incredible scenes

this is the world's most confusing day for centrist Democrats who just voted to condemn socialism and tried to sink Mamdani's campaign for months

Primary everyone. All of em. I'm serious. They have the worst political instincts in history in addition to being a bunch of pricks with a cushy job. Time to leave and go write your book, assholes. Take Tapper and the other dickheads with you on the way out

Guys...

Next time a Republican whines when they get called a fascist, just remind them that Trump says he doesn't mind the label!

Laughing at Donald Trump saying he'd definitely feel comfortable living in Zohran Mamdani's New York on the same day that half the consultant brain-poisoned Democratic party voted to condemn socialism
