What happened today to a united States Senator is outrageous. And the so-called justifications from the Administration are total BS. Here’s why

If we were a serious country, here is how we'd talk about Biden vs Trump: 1. Biden was too old, but he ran the most competent government in our lifetimes & it was full of highly qualified experts 2. Trump is too old & a criminal fascist & the government is failing & full of malevolent incompetents

These guys took down the paywall, so everyone should read it. But really, if you can afford it you should subscribe. They are doing the work for us.

Update: We've removed the paywall for all ye who enter.

Today they have crossed a deep red line. We, the people, must hold the president and his appointees accountable for this outrageous abuse against American liberty.

House Democrats need to bring articles of impeachment against Kristi Noem, while Senate Democrats need to bring that chamber to a fucking halt.

This is disgusting. If this is how they treat Alex Padilla, a United States Senator, how do you think they’ll treat you?

Three decades ago, billionaire Ted Turner asked astronomer Carl Sagan if he was a socialist.

The "fiscal responsibility" party that's tearing apart the federal government to root out "waste and fraud" is spending $134M on unnecessary military deployments against US citizens, $400M on a plane for Trump to keep, and another $40M on a parade to make the smallest man in history feel important.

Yeah my job is pretty cool. My uniform is a tactical vest that’s two sizes too small and a gaiter I bought in a gas station. They send me to sneak into schools to kidnap little kids because people got mad about having to press 1 for English. The president had to warn everyone to stop spitting on me.

We really are sinking to new lows in this country on a daily basis. An official account of the US Dept of Defense is making political statements like this. Twitter Trolls speaking for the US military, & not one Republican in Congress will say a word because they are all cowards.

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Great job, Bill Cassidy! Fucking idiot.

This is a pretty important point!

<Thread> I figure I need to explain how extreme and irresponsible is the June 7 Memorandum federalizing the National Guard and authorizing regular armed forces. Those saying anything in support of this action may not realize what they’ve gotten into. (It will also escalate from here.) Preview⤵️

One side is an unlawfully masked, unbadged secret police rounding and arresting law-abiding essential workers to prop up a fascist regime The other side is citizens resisting an unjust government, just as MLK taught us to do. I am 100% on the side of the American people against ICE. Who's with me?

This is another outrageously lawless and illegal act from the Trump administration. The President cannot simply use the federal government to target his enemies. When all is said and done, there must be consequences for all those who aided and abetted this lawlessness. www.cnn.com/2025/06/06/p...

In this moderately tense exchange lies the end of the American Constitution. Here, a chief officer of the executive branch tells a member of the body that has exclusive constitutional authority to allocate the American people's money that the executive branch has no intention to follow those laws.
