I do think more PA Dems would put up w Fetterman if he was just casting heterodox votes. You don't see people raging that Angus King voted for the CR. The issue is Fetterman constantly going to Fox News cameras to trash Dems and create unhelpful stories. There was never an indication he'd do that.

"We murdered four guys in international waters, but it's OK* because they definitely absolutely were 'narco-terrorists'" * Even then, it's not OK. It's a crime.

Sen. @ossoff.senate.gov on rural hospital closures: “We’re the wealthiest country in the world. Every community—rural, suburban, urban, Black, white, rich, poor—deserves world-class healthcare. That’s the bare minimum.”

Jack Ciattarelli wants to be governor of parts of New Jersey

Republicans: When Democrats use words like “fascists,” it creates a dangerous climate that leads to political violence. Trump: Democrats are “evil,” “fascists,” “treasonous,” and the party of “Satan.” Republicans: ...

The racists in the UK are not the ones attending pro-Palestine marches this weekend. The racists in the UK are the ones saying that you shouldn’t protest 53 Palestinians being murdered because two Jewish people were also murdered on the same day. Some of us can condemn both.

A NOT new Countdown podcast is now live. If you heard Thursday's episode, don't bother. But after the response to re-reading and annotating and updating my July 2016 piece for Vanity Fair on this topic, I wanted to post it again as a stand-alone COULD Trump pass a sanity test? tinyurl.com/2t88mrpk

Diddy is already booking speaking engagements. He knows he's getting pardoned even before he is sentenced.

Fuck it Friday returns! With my pals @michaelfanone.bsky.social and comedian Matt Friend! See you at 4p ET/ 1p PT live on Substack and later on YouTube!

The Trump administration's unusual 10-day ban on drone flights across Chicago could have serious consequences for our ability to monitor law enforcement activity. We can't let the government weaken our First Amendment rights by claiming vague “security threats.”

The Pentagon is ordering journalists to sign a gag pledge—even with respect to gathering unclassified information. Here are the facts. #Pentagon #Journalism #FreeSpeech #FirstAmendment #Democracy #BreakingNews #NewsExplained

Me, on Lindsey Halligan's debut as a not-legally-appointed prosecutor who told the court she had never seen a document she filed that had her signature on it: "If what happened to her had happened to me, I'd want to crawl under a rock and never be heard from again." www.msnbc.com/all-in/watch...

Mirtha is supporting her neighbors in Haiti who are impacted by violence, serving the most vulnerable with WCK and Hôpital Albert Schweitzer Haiti while using her background in cooking. "I was never one to sit around. Being with WCK, I think things are going really great." she said. #ChefsForHaiti

"Trump is having 'episodes of what would be called outright lunacy, if they occurred in any other setting,' and … if he 'were in virtually any other position of responsibility, action would already be under way to remove him from that role.'"

“The statue, spray-painted bronze, appeared fully restored today, with only minor damage still apparent and Trump and Epstein’s hands once again clasped together…” www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...

According to eyewitnesses, armed ICE agents dragged kids out of their beds in the middle of the night, zip tied them and put them in rented vans while raiding an * entire apartment building* on the South Side of Chicago. www.youtube.com/watch?v=vOXO...

Harassing the mods into banning someone has never worked. And harassing people in general has never changed their mind.

"[Trump's] 'mental state,' according to Justin A. Frank, a former clinical professor of psychiatry … , 'include[s] so many psychic afflictions' that a 'working knowledge of psychiatric disorders is essential to understanding Trump.'"

Yes, Cam Schlittler of the Yankees should be forced to change his name. He can keep the "Schlittler" but it would be way easier if his first name were CLAM

Having a hard time keeping up with things in your daily life? World outside seems upside down? No longer enjoying the same things you once did? Future feels dark and scary? You may be experiencing fascism. Fortunately, there’s a cure! #GeneralStrike #Protest #Resist #CommunityDefense #MutualAid

Gonna re-up this since today is the 7th anniversary of the murder of Jamal Khashoggi by MBS who has his first annual comedy festival underway right now. Bet it kills.

MSNBC is just atrociously bad reporting, it’s like half-informed podcast hosts. Lutnick didn’t just ‘happen’ to be Epstein’s neighbor, he bought his townhouse in a deal brokered by Jeffrey’s own brother, and has deep ties w/Trump fundraising re:Epstein’s former clients. Bill Barr all up in mix too.

The GOP(140 former Trump staffers) and the Heritage Foundation started working on Project 2025 in 2022. One thing has become painfully clear: democrats were not working just as hard creating a plan to hold Trump accountable, or to derail Project 2025…should they fail to hold him accountable.

Representative Dean put it best about The White House In Crisis and Trump's decline: "THE PRESIDENT IS UNWELL"

Posting this for only the 337th time. "Could Trump Pass A Sanity Test?" from July 2016 www.vanityfair.com/news/2016/07... If you'd like to have me read it to you grab the latest Countdown podcast. 🤦🏼‍♂️

Signs of psychosis. No biggie

Federal agents reporting to Secretary Noem have spent weeks snatching up families, scaring law-abiding residents, violating due process rights, and even detaining U.S. citizens. They fail to focus on violent criminals and instead create panic in our communities.

He knows it. They know it. They've always known it. Amongst themselves, they joke about it. They tell stories about it. They swap advice on how to deal with it. But most importantly, to everyone else, they lie about it.

If you enjoy my posts, please don’t tag me in other people’s replies. I mute or block any account that does fyi.

Trump has no public events on his schedule today, yesterday he hid out, the rambling Benzoed stupor you saw him in Tuesday has been his base line for years. His staff & kids have done a great job of hiding his decades of addiction with an able assist from NBC & Mark Burnett.

BREAKING: Our client Mario Guevara, an Emmy-winning journalist detained by ICE in retaliation for livestreaming law enforcement activity, will be deported tomorrow to El Salvador. Mario and his family are being punished for his reporting. This cruelty is meant to stifle our free press.

ICE is running around Chicago harassing people for not being white. Just a year ago, that was illegal in the United States and now it’s commonplace. That’s not making America great again.

None of those are now. This dictatorship is a play performed by a nut case who believes he is the star. The work was done by the billionaires who started, exploited, planned this for years. They had help in every election whether won or lost. This isn’t an old fashioned coup attempt, this is a setup

I'll be the first to say, what you're suggesting is not the way. Make these "men" feel shame and ridicule; put them in their appropriate place. Make them hate their job. Make them hate themselves. Make them hate thier own hatred. Make it known that they are hated. Make [it/them]... fuck off
