This is an ominous step toward martial law. The time for mobilizing peacefully but massively against this dangerous progression is NOW. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/07/u...

Peaceful protests are fine. Violence is not and will only destroy your message. And please for the love of God do NOT wave a Mexican flag. American flags or nothing

Genocide in South Africa?? Whites in SA make up 7% of the population and own 80% of the land. Crime and murders occur at high rates for all South Africans.

We need Toto to pull back the curtain and reveal the charlatan!

@morningjoe-msnbc.bsky.socials you gleefully go on about Trump lowering drug prices, no one mentioned that Biden admin lowered insulin and capped Medicare drug prices. Trump comes out with his Sharpie and you forget he undid Biden policy! You are making it difficult to watch

I would love to see Amy Klobuchar become the new Democratic Whip! She would be great!

Colonel Susannah Meyers was removed from her position after a "loss of confidence in her ability to lead," Space Operations Command said.

So basically he moved the deck chairs around a little.

"In November, incumbent Supreme Court Justice Allison Riggs narrowly defeated Republican Jefferson Griffin, a win that held up after two recounts. But Griffin has been seeking to have around 60,000 votes thrown out because of incomplete voter registrations."

Today House Republicans, cheered on by the richest person on Earth, passed a budget framework that will cut support for the poorest people in our country. All while cutting taxes for corporations and the wealthy, and massively increasing the deficit.

Protests at courthouses!

"Trump has always been obsessed with elections because he knows they pose the greatest threat to his authoritarian ambitions. That’s why election denialism is central to his movement."

First came the market manipulation. Now come the bribes.

The House is scheduled to vote on the SAVE Act later today. Learn more about what this voter suppression would do and why some Democrats have called it a "chainsaw to democracy."

Why does the administration think our economy needed tariffs to make America work better? Stock market- record high; unemployment record low. What’s to fix?

What do I need as a retired person? I need a president and Congress who will work for me and others in this country! What don’t I need? A president who rules by executive orders, makes up stupid words on truth(?) social; a Congress that has no backbone to redress the grievances of many Americans.

Interesting: @jonathanbernstein.bsky.social documents the beginnings of a pattern of Republicans starting to challenge Trump. It's not much, but such fissures can be widened. One example: Rs challenging Trump over Ukrainian children, as I reported: goodpoliticsbadpolitics.substack.com/p/tiny-steps

The people Attorney General Bondi is calling “terrorists” have had no trial and no chance to defend themselves. We do not know who they are. Ignoring the Constitution does not make us safe. It puts us all in peril.

If Russia wants peace, they should end the invasion.

DOGE "is headed by Elon Musk," Donald Trump says. Cc: @annabower.bsky.social Federal judges in DC, Maryland, and Virginia Yaakov Roth

President Donald Trump may soon attempt to absorb the U.S. Postal Service, an independent agency, into his administration. “Taking over the Postal Service just kind of opens up a whole Pandora’s box of mischief,” said a vote-by-mail advocacy group.

I didn’t vote for Trump, Musk or Putin! What can I do now??

They’re called conflicts of interest one day, but corruption the next

So very trumpian way of looking at the world….let the white, wealthy people pass…

I wanted to come up with an analogy to describe Trump's absurd plan for Ukraine. Something like... "Imagine if Mexico invaded America and then met with Canada to decide how much of America they should keep." I quickly realized my analogy was something most Americans would welcome right now.

He will burn down whatever he can, however he can Our systems of governance, rule of law, global alliances, even the Constitution. Consumed by vengeance and greed, he is the greatest threat to our Republic since its founding. We must meet this moment with the force of a thousand suns. Or perish.

Want to go visit the national parks this year? Sorry. The reservation system is shut down, EMT personnel are gone, so don't get hurt or lost. No one can clean the bathrooms or cabins, so they'll be closed. Rangers are fired. www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/arti...

Fact check: nearly 70 percent of US money for Ukraine actually went to US defense industry to replenish the stocks of OLD stuff that went to Ukraine to use. Much of which we would have paid to destroy as their lifespan expired.

Oh my! Trump posted: “He who saves his country violates no law.” Have we seen enough yet??? Not even a month!!

How can everyday citizens help in the fight for democracy? @marcelias.bsky.social suggests ten things everyone can do.

"I will bring down inflation on day one." 😂😂😂😂

Apparently, spending $400 million on battery operated trash cans was not seen as government waste or fraud. www.yahoo.com/news/musk-sl...

Trump,Musk and the doge bros are like bulls in the government china shop. If due process is being denied to people and constitutional tenets are being ignored , we are definitely in a constitutional crisis. The wizard in the White House saying it isn’t so is lying.

We’re done here. Right?
