There is no Department of War. There is no Trump Institute of Peace. It’s still The John F. Kennedy Memorial Center for the Performing Arts. These things are named by statute. If you believe, as I do, in our Constitution, then you must not normalize power grabs like this, no matter how stupid.

It might get me labeled as a Crazy Bluesky Radical, but I don’t think it’s great that our nuclear arsenal is at the disposal of a demented old man who’s just an exposed nerve of grievances and hatreds with absolutely no impulse control.

feels stupid to say at this point but how the fuck isn't anyone invoking the 25th amendment.

ICE pepper-sprayed this 1-year-old girl. Once at the hospital, the doctor had to call in a poison control specialist. They had never seen anyone that young pepper sprayed. Another horrific story. More details below.

"The complaints against Bove may get traction or they may go nowhere. But that’s not the point. Federal judges shouldn’t engage in arguably improper behavior and then shrug it off by claiming they did it in their personal capacity." open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

ICYMI — “I identified myself as a U.S. citizen and a veteran, but that didn't matter. ICE Agents smashed my window, sprayed tear gas and pepper spray into my car, dragged me out… this experience violated the very principles I fought to defend.”

@nicollewallace.bsky.social I’m really disappointed to see you hosting rabidly anti-trans Martina Navratilova on Deadline WH today.

HOPE WALZ: “What world are we f*cking living in? I draw the line at Gus. You people are f*cking disgraceful.” She says MAGA loyalists are now driving by their home and yelling “R*tard!” at her family and her special needs brother after Trump called GovTimWalz the R word.

Spot on, Mr. Rather. 🎯 💯

The FBI now consists of “Uber for drunks”.

Take the gloves off. Gerrymander everything. If SCOTUS doesn’t care, fine, fair is fair.

The killing of the survivors by this moral slum of an Administration should nauseate Americans. A nation incapable of shame is dangerous, not least to itself. As the recent ‘peace plan’ in Ukraine demonstrated.” www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

"When senior leaders disparage legal oversight, sideline JAG officers, impede the ability of the press to report, or treat accountability as the enemy, they do more than risk unlawful action. They weaken the moral foundation that makes our military credible in the eyes of the American people...

Unhinged

Alina Habba’s parents emigrated to the US from Iraq citing persecution.

CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1965: 20-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1990: 75-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio today: 280-to-1 Trickle-down economics was always a sham. Nothing has ever trickled down.

Cowards

Like so many members of our military, serving this country changed my life. The Navy gave me opportunities I wouldn't dream of and taught me lessons I'll never forget. I'm grateful for everything our nation has given me, and I'll always do everything I can to give back to it.

There was a time when the United States looked down its nose at the countries in South America for being lawless banana republics. Who's the banana republic now, bitches?

No notes.

This from @paulsperry.bsky.social is a bald-faced lie and contains no element of truth. I never received a “leak” of “highly sensitive details about an active investigation” from @jamescomey.bsky.social—in a October 2016 or at any other time, on Google or on any other platform. He links to nothing

“Potentially divisive”because we fought a couple of wars about them?

I'm proud to have served the United States in uniform and as a career federal employee. I'm with these guys.

Funny, how MAGA is *outraged* over someone who is simply a Muslim in the New York City mayor's mansion, but has no comment about a Muslim who is an actual murderer in the White House.

HOLY SH*T this ad doesn’t pull any punches! And we're here for it. Because if you are protecting pedophiles, you’ve got it coming. Share. This. Everywhere. And follow the ad's creator, @_joejacobson_! #ReleaseTheFiles

@definitelyjustbob.bsky.social Happy Veterans Day! Thank you for your service.

(🚨) BREAKING NEWS: Trump Pardons 75+ Alleged Coup Plotters in Second-Most Obscene and Corrupt U.S. Presidential Pardon Ever, After His Pardon of 1,600+ Insurrectionists; New Pardon Is Confirmation That President Is Traitor to the United States

Never forget who sold us out: Hassan King Cortez-Masto Shaheen Kaine Fetterman Durbin Rosen

This. This. This.

Dems backed Trump into a corner where he’s advocating for starving Americans and hemorrhaging support. If they vote to let him off the hook in exchange for nothing it’s a cataclysmic failure. I know people are in pain but insulating Republicans from political consequences is not the answer.

I love it. They agreed to take an excavator to the fkn White House, I don't have any sympathy.

Kind of legit hope this drives ACECO, LLC, out of business. #EastWingDesecration

We're calling him Diarrhea Don. He's owning the libs so hard with this, it's brilliant. Everyone talking about the president's uncontrollable bowels, how manly and cool his uncontrollably explosive shits are.

😍 Boston, you are beautiful. #NoKings

MIAMI (AP) — Federal prosecutors have charged voting technology firm Smartmatic with money laundering and other crimes arising from more than $1 million in bribes that several executives allegedly paid to election officials in the Philippines.

I’m not generally the sort of person to say “hahaha fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck you” BUT www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/general...

Then why are you providing a $20 billion bailout to Argentina and helping them cut deals with China that crush American soybean farmers?

Enjoy some truth about the #TrumpShutdown @markwarner.bsky.social

These people are absolute trash.

Federal judge, appointed by Reagan, in 161-page opinion today in deportation matter: "There’s the issue of masks... To us, masks are associated with cowardly desperados and the despised Ku Klux Klan. In all our history we have never tolerated an armed masked secret police"

I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES I know we are “used to it” but it is absolutely insane

<scratches head> Uhhhh, you can do it on your own authority

I won’t watch any more of Hegseth. Talking down to senior military leaders like he is running a UFC camp.

I'm tired of seeing alcoholic failson political appointees.
