The problem with this deal is that Trump desperately wants to hide that he lost the war but it’s full of enormous concessions that are impossible to hide, so he keeps dragging it out

“Beyond working to make Texas one of the most hostile jurisdictions in the country for trans people, Paxton has imposed the closest thing I can think of to a kind of contemporary Fugitive Slave Act on women and LGBTQ people.” www.liberalcurrents.com/hell-is-empt...

so, this is deeply, deeply horrifying thedreydossier.substack.com/p/i-found-a-...

Samuel Alito hit by new scandal as son found secretly working for Trump's Treasury: report

🖕ICE

Louisiana keeping it real. Real racist.

But now that's entirely legal. Up next, the fight to restore poll taxes, literacy tests, and sundown towns. Happy 250th.

This map is almost identical to the GOP’s 2022 gerrymander that a federal court struck down for violating the Voting Rights Act by discriminating against Black voters

This is not just the foreseeable consequence of Trump policies, it was in fact projected in real time.

This is not how airports work. There are a finite number of slots and gates. You cannot take every international flight from seven of the biggest airports in the country and redistribute them to red states. That's not how any of this works.

DHS: “Everything is fine at Delaney Hall, ICE is treating everyone perfectly, there are no hunger strikes, ignore all the members of Congress who’ve been inside and said otherwise. What’s that? No, you cannot send health inspectors here, absolutely not. Trust us. We never lie!”

Absolutely nothing is stopping John Cornyn, Tillis, Murkowski, & Paul from caucusing immediately with Democrats & giving them control of the Senate. The same is true of Thomas Massie & any 2 retiring GOP Reps in the House. It is a choice to continue caucusing with the authoritarian personality cult.

Tell me something we don’t know.

The latest weekly @economist.com / @today.yougov.com Poll just dropped, and we're into new territory. Only 34% of Americans approve of how Donald Trump is having his job as president. That's lower than Trump has ever received, in either term — and lower than Biden ever got. Read more:

HAHAHAHAHA! They’ll never learn. You can’t go 99 percent in your obsequiousness toward Trump. It’s 100 percent or nothing for him. Fuck you, Cornyn. Buh-bye.

lol

the important thing to realize about republican primary voters is that they’re bad people

this is the thing about people who say they need to be exposed to more perspectives: no you don’t right wing perspectives are dogshit, especially these days - it’s either vicious, preening meanness or it’s the most obvious bad faith trolling you’ve ever seen there is nothing to be gained from it

Reminder to never stop fighting back!

Talarico: I’m an eighth-generation Texan. I’ve been eating barbecue since before Ken Paxton’s first indictment. And if all they have on me is lying about me being a vegan, I feel pretty good about our chances this November.

And there you have it. The anti trans campaign in Maine was never some "grassroots movement." It was bankrolled by billionaire Richard Uihlein, who poured over $800,000 into targeting trans kids over sports and bathrooms.

The manufactured outrage about trans kids makes me angry/sad. These kids just want to be kids. And these a-holes insist on ostracizing them. And you can't convince me any of these people ever cared about women's sports before, other than to mock it.

Adding to Tom Steyer discourse

Trump’s Endgame Is Surrender He seems to hope to slip away without Americans noticing the magnitude of this defeat. www.theatlantic.com/internationa...

Trump can’t remember when he was president.

(3/X) any serious outrage within the establishment commentariat. Ditto for the insane war in Iran, his personal police force (ICE), his various attacks on freedom of speech and press etc. etc.

(2/X) Last week, Trump stole $2 billion from the Treasury and it was revealed that he had done hundreds of millions of dollars of insider trades, many of them undoubtedly done a few minutes before some announcement that would change stock prices. Neither story generated...

(1/X) I would argue that the vast majority of all commentary is essentially pro-Trump. I don't mean pro-Trump in the sense of liking Trump, I mean it in the sense of them not holding him to the anything close to the same standards as Democratic politicians....

most people did not ask for and do not deserve anything the trump administration is doing but some of these motherfuckers invited the leopards right in the door and laughed at everyone who said they were gonna eat people’s faces and, well

DO IT!

Incredible reporting showing an ICE agent at the center of Trump's attempt to punish freedom of speech in Spokane case has posted racist, homophobic, misogynistic tweets under his own name, including about this case. This is why local outlets owned by journalists, not MAGA billionaires are critical

All the federal employees who were laid off with prejudice qualify as well.

Who has really been mistreated by a weaponized Justice Dept? Abrego Garcia

Nothing promotes individual liberty quite like a state-mandated indoctrination.

We Are Too,Rosanne Cash.......

My new hero.

It's all falling apart

"Marked the latest embarrassing blow to Speaker Mike Johnson" "House Republicans...abruptly canceled a vote on a resolution directing President Trump to withdraw US forces from Iran or win approval from Congress to continue the war, after it became clear they lacked the votes to defeat the measure"

This is extremely lawless and corrupt by the Trump DOJ. So, par for the course. The presumption of regularity is a joke now, and federal prosecutors won’t recover the esteem they had from federal judges for a generation. (Which, actually, is fine.)

Democrats will soon force a vote to stop Donald Trump’s costly war with Iran. It’s been over 80 days. Republicans could have stopped it from the beginning. We urge our Republican colleagues to join us NOW to put an end to this war.

Why this GOP Congress sucks...

I will not sit by and let Republicans characterize programs for the poorest of the poor women and children as “waste, fraud and abuse” when the real waste, fraud and abuse is being perpetrated by Donald Trump giving $1.8 BILLION to January 6th insurrectionists.

one member of Los Angeles County's board of supervisors has more constituents than the U.S. senators of 12 states

Saw someone respond to the idea of DC statehood with “so should every major city be its own state?” and yeah don’t threaten me with a good time.

Every day is Pitchbot day in the #BrokenTimes.

damn. how do you look at these charts and think "we just didn't mindless centrism hard enough"

“The General Assembly should reconvene to investigate and hold him accountable. And if he commuted Tina Peters’ sentence at the behest of Donald Trump, surrendering the sovereign authority of Colorado, he should be impeached.” Agreed.

This interview was horrifying. I thought the cop was trying a “we’re bros and women suck” game on the guy but no! He totally shit all over the victim and let this guy walk, only to murder two women. Louis Potter is the worst kind of cop. How did he get only 2 weeks suspension? Fucking Florida.

To Detective Potter, 120 hours suspension is not enough for the victims of Wade Wilson!! people.com/where-is-det...

Banana republic.
