Is it bad if a sitting federal judge was (allegedly) part of a conspiracy to commit murder? It seems bad ....

#WokePope (and it’s a very good thing)

"Is the other stuff ever going to come out?"

BREAKING: At Pope Leo XIV’s urging, U.S. Catholic bishops just delivered the strongest rebuke of a sitting president in Church history — condemning Trump-Vance raids as “inhumane” and “dehumanizing” in a 216–5 vote.

Aside from the enormous Epstein scandal, these extrajudicial murders should bring down this administration, from Trump and Hegseth to the shooters to the aides who photocopied the orders. It’s morally and legally exhausting living through this lawless, lying, corrupt regime. #NoFascistUSA

For no particular reason….posting former U.S. Attorney General John Mitchell’s mugshot before he went to Federal prison for committing numerous crimes on behalf and or/at the direction of President Nixon including obstruction of justice and conspiracy.

They scanned my brain and found nothing.

I just don’t see how we can pretend even for a moment that anything involving our federal government is remotely normal when the president is covering up his involvement in a child sex trafficking ring. Like, what are we doing here

Before we were an authoritarian dictatorship, the Times would’ve launched a major investigation into a POTUS demanding the (back then independent) DOJ find dirt on his enemies. Now? It’s not even mentioned as a constitutional concern anywhere in the article. #SadNYT www.nytimes.com/2025/11/14/u...

In a slew of that’s-the-most-despicable-Trump-act-I’ve-ever-seen acts, Trump’s/Hegseth’s illegal extrajudicial killings of perhaps drug runners/perhaps not has to be up there at the top of the pile. Our DOJ is dead. “No free govt can survive that is not based on the supremacy of law” is dead.

A thing we can do to hold democrats to account (so we can keep battling Trump’s fascism with the strongest tools possible). 202.224.3121 #NoFascistUSA

My reading of Giuffre book: she studiously avoided the subject of Trump’s guilt. Said he was nice to her several times but did NOT say he didn’t have sex w/her or others, as media (and WH) are reporting.She noted 2 high-powered, vindictive unnamed rapists who threatened her/her family if she talked…

The state of Illinois calling it out as it is. More or this.

Maybe it's time to make more noise about this? Last spring a thousand agents frantically redacted all mentions of Trump's name in the Epstein files. How does that square with what can and will be released?

One reason you need a public editor, representing the readers and their rights.

Happy discharge petition day to all who celebrate... www.nytimes.com/2025/11/12/u...

Replies are turned off so I couldn’t say this directly to the OP, but kudos to Chhibber for excellent alt-text. I wish more people would spend those extra few minutes fully describing the images. Plus: it’s Ramona!!

- Grijalva being sworn in today - Trump caught in (obvious) lie about knowing of Epstein’s operation - Blackmail of Trump suggested - Under no circumstances can Maxwell receive clemency now - Republicans who don’t vote to release the files are actively covering up a pedophilia ring

#VeteransDay in Trump’s fascist regime

When you have to threaten the POTUS with filibustering EVERYTHING if he won’t stop routinely and casually breaking every law… #NoFascistUSA

Trump says prices are down--way down!--since he took office. The only specific citation he gives is Walmart's Thanksgiving Dinner package, compared to last year. Let's look at this. 2024 cost: $52 2025 cost: $39.92 (wha?? is Trump not lying?) 1/

Follow Jacob if you don’t already. Will our journalists figure out how to cover an openly fascist administration…or boil us all to death? - Media rarely puts stories in larger context - Media has surrendered to liars - No story seems more important than any other. #NoFascistUSA

Wow: Per Hamdi's legal team, his only charge was a visa overstay — after Trump revoked his visa. Despite DHS tweeting that Hamdi supported terrorism, they never charged him with any criminality. In other words: Trump revoked a journalist's visa, so agents could arrest him for overstaying his visa.

“There is no way to defend this, and you are right to be angry about it. I’m angry about it.” #FireSchumer

Same energy.

This is really good to see: Miki Sherrill just put out a statement sharply criticizing the Senate Dems' pending cave in the government shutdown, ripping it as "malpractice" and a betrayal of the people who are "counting on us to fight for them." Sherrill knows what drove her victory. Wake up, Dems.

Brilliant. “I want you to understand, regardless of your politics, the historical danger of a secret police. What happens when a militia is deployed in our neighborhoods and against our own people. Left unchecked their mandate will grow…” #NoFascistUSA aphyr.com/posts/397-i-...

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

Poll after poll is going to show Democrats hating Democratic Party, and Corporate Media is going to read them and declare that Democrats need to moderate.

@schiff.senate.gov @padilla.senate.gov @democrats.senate.gov I don’t think you all realize the wrath you will cause among Democratic stalwarts if you vote to open govt WITHOUT HAVING EXTRICATED ANYTHING. Lifelong Dem here. I will not vote for anyone not screaming from the rafters to denounce this.

@schiff.senate.gov @padilla.senate.gov Neither taking phone msgs from constituents—why? DO NOT CAVE. - Not even a week since voters roundly rejected GOP/Trump on econ & healthcare - Public blaming GOP—NOT Dems - Deal gives you NOTHING! - ZERO rationale for caving If you cave it pisses DEMS off!!

Sounds like the squishes in the senate caucus are ready to pull the plug with no ACA changes. This is real. If you want to register your opinion you shld call yr senator in the next hour. They not only want to reopen w/nothing. They want cover from their colleagues who still want to hold out.

It would be ridiculous for Dems to cave now, and accept merely a promise to schedule a vote on ACA subsidy extension.

Until we confront this we cannot hope to build a healthy democracy.

Look how much effort the Trump admin has put into yanking meager food benefits from hungry people. This alone should relegate him to the dustbins of history. Gift article. #NoFascistUSA www.nytimes.com/2025/11/08/u...

“What Nixon did episodically and covertly, knowing it was illegal or improper, Trump now does routinely and overtly.” This is a gifted article. #NoFascistUSA

“Dems didn’t cave here. What they did was leverage the win we gave them on Tues to redefine what is going on w/the shutdown & get closer to a place where Americans say ‘We like health insurance AND we’d like the govt to reopen.’ Those things can’t happen as long as Rs take marching orders from DJT.”

Epic.

I understand why we shut down American airspace for a few days after 9-11 to avoid a repeat attack but imagine shutting down American airspace to avoid releasing the Epstein files.

I’ve never seen a president so determined to starve Americans.

The White House is a week away from having slot machines and neon lighting.

Just a fabulous thread chronicling Judge Sara Ellis’s detailed ruling against Trump’s DOJ/DHS/ICE and its anti-democratic, unconstitutional, fascist, lie-ridden response to peaceful protesters exercising their 1A rights. #NoFascistUSA

Nb @schiff.senate.gov @padilla.senate.gov. Last night proved sane Americans want Dems who will FIGHT for this democracy, not bipartisanlly pull us further into fascism. No caving!!

Ride the wave @gavinnewsom.bsky.social @governor.ca.gov

After those results, the Democratic response to GOP pressure to cave on the shutdown should simply be

The oligarchy came out in full force against Zohran Mamdani's fight for a more affordable NYC. It didn't matter. Let his victory in the face of Big Money serve as a reminder that people have the power.

A democratic sweep was the perfect way to honor Dick Cheney's death. Well done, everyone. See you tomorrow.

I got bad news for Trump about every election going forward from now until the end of time
