"'To me, it just screams that public corruption cases are no longer a priority of DOJ,' said Andrew Tessman, a prosecutor who left the Justice Department this month." The message to corrupt Republicans: help yourself. No one's watching anymore. It's not hard to see where this is heading.

shit ain’t over til it’s over

The next Democratic president has a much bigger job in front of them than undoing the excesses of the Trump administration. Trump was elected in 2016 in part due to massive frustration with elite impunity, which is a bipartisan failing.

Elect us so we can not prosecute criminals if they're connected to Trump is a helluva political message Between this and Schumer "begging & praying" that Trump talks to them, there's got to be a reckoning in the party We need to be aggressively anti-corruption, pro-democracy by any means necessary

I just can't...👇

In reality, despite the manner of his death, Kirk was a hate monger, an absolutely vicious misogynist, and a conspirator against American democracy. Let’s not sell tickets to his “spiritual journey.”

Check out the chyron -- they are shilling their merch store during a funeral. The sheer vulgarity of these petty-hucksters-gone-big is wild to me. Government by fashy used car salesmen, I swear to God. It will never ever not be fundamentally strange to me that their own base find this appealing.

"history is also going to remember the cowards who definitely knew better but still let things happen—whether it was for money, convenience, or just comfort. Use ... the only phrase that can genuinely make a weak bully go away: F**k you. Make me.”" www.pajiba.com/news/john-ol...

Trying to overthrow our govt & democracy in 2020 was an act of treason. Donald Trump committed treason. As did everyone who helped him as well Charlie Kirk was one of those people who tried to help Trump overturn a fair & free election. He was treasonous. This shouldn't be a difficult concept.

Former counselor to RFK Jr’s predecessor:

👇This is so true. And yet the media, pundits, and many Democrats can't grasp it because it would destroy their sense of this is Republican vs Democrat frame.

Oh fuck, the acid is starting to kick & this looks like bat country.

America 2025

We need the Democratic leadership to fight harder and do better. Peanut Gallery: How dare you criticize Democrats and their strategy! Schumer: We hope and pray Donald Trump does the right thing.

@peterbakernyt.bsky.social we would appreciate your thoughts on the impact of “normalization” performed by media elites?

There is no world in which it is normal for the president to publicly call upon his attorney general to hurry up and prosecute his political foes. It’s like the Watergate tapes but posted on social media. Let’s get a grip on what’s happening here.

This really is a five-alarm fire "I hope and pray Trump will sit down with us" NOTHING will change until he is replaced w someone who understands the times were in & the danger we face. Think about the news just in the last 48 hours & he comes out w this pathetic shit This status quo can't stand

LA traffic

Trump posts a DM to his AG that she needs to prosecute his political enemies. Trump’s Border Czar took a $50k bribe from the FBI, Trump’s DOJ to shut it down. Trump issued a $100k afee for H1B visas, restricting immigrants into US unless company pays This is just the last 24 hrs. Sheesh.

This guy is ruining so many lives and breaking up families, accusing people who overstayed visas of being criminals and shipping them off to foreign prisons. Turns out he's a shabby crook who's done much worse. Disgusting.

To be clear -- we're talking about impeachable offenses and serious criminal activity. "questions about polarization" - @nytimes.com is parody at this point.

Hitch was so fucking good at this. "If you gave Falwell an enema he could be buried in a matchbox."

Democrats need to seriously consider an impeachment inquiry into now-Judge Emil Bove if/when they take back the House. He led the brazenly corrupt Eric Adams quid pro quo. He facilitated the Tom Homan bribery cover-up. And there’s probably more! He was Trump’s hatchet man at DOJ for months!

"Imagine if Biden did this" Yes that's the point they're making sure you know Dems and the media are straight stupid for believing in norms or whatever. The administration wakes up every day and cannot believe what they got away with and they're gonna make sure you pay for it.

They replaced it with "Celebrity Family Feud" (I shit you not). I feel like that should mean something profound and philosophical in the grand scheme of things but I'm not high enough to figure it out. OF COURSE they would run "Celebrity Family Feud" instead. You really can't script any of this

scramble you little shits, scramble

Still incredible which one of these guys is viewed by the state as reacting inappropriately.

“To view each Trump call to violence in isolation—‘he attacked Milley’ ‘he attacked NBC’ ‘he attacked [jury, prosecutor, judge]—is to miss his overall plan to ‘introduce violence as a natural extension of our democratic disagreement’.” @juliettekayyem.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023...

Dutch late night TV has its take

Trump wants to stomp out dissent but we refuse to be silent. We must use our economic power to pressure ABC/Disney. Encourage everyone you know to cancel their Disney+, Hulu, and ESPN+ subscriptions, and post their cancellations to social media using the hashtag #BoycottDisneyABC. 🧵

I hope some newspapers use a crop where you can easily read the sign.

Really, what's left to say anymore...

Great news! I was concerned because a couple months ago, RFK Jr. had the HIGHEST approval ratings in the cabinet (even tho he's was the same degenerate). I thought that made that much more dangerous. But I guess going through with his plans to kills millions of children kinda takes the shine off.

I would call this “consciousness of guilt” in an eventual domestic trial or international war crimes tribunal.

Openly naming what is happening, grasping that there is no returning to a status quo that already sucked and laid the groundwork for this fascist moment, means having to accept reality and also offer solutions that will change things. It can be frightening, but that's our only hope.

They said they wanted guns to keep their freedoms. Turns out if you let them keep their guns, you can just take their freedoms

The Late Show with Stephen Colbert just dropped its first response to ABC, FCC chair, and Disney firing Jimmy Kimmel. This is a must-watch. 🔥 #cdnpoli

The same week he sues the NY Times for $15 billion... *this* is the headline the NY Times goes with?

if the democratic party were led by van hollen instead of chuck schumer or hakeem jeffries right now democratic party approval rating would fly through the roof

This Week's Onion Magazine:

This is awesome. This is actually standing up (not just a post on social media). Where are the talent agencies on this? They seem to get together when there was a writer's strike. If the agencies boycott, it's over. But I'm not holding my breath.
