“Comedy is legal again”

Gomez: How are you doing? I was just curious because I know Elon Musk body checked you Bessent: You believe what you read in Breitbart? Gomez: If it’s too sensitive for you, I won’t ask Bessent: I will take South Carolina over South Africa any day

Double.

Dystopian.

This is it. This is the ball game. DoD does not have a role in enforcing the law.

GRAHAM: Is Putin gonna stop in Ukraine? HEGSETH: Remains to be seen GRAHAM: Well, he says he's not. This is the '30s all over. It doesn't 'remain to be seen'

MURRAY: If the Navy wants to hire a qualified candidate for the role, but that candidate happened to vote for or donate to Democrats, would they be hired? HEGSETH: Senator, there has never been a litmus test for hiring welders M: Well, that is what they're being asked. We need to drop the politics

CNN Reporter in LA: There’s graffiti that says F Trump. The smell of weed is in the air.

Trump Admin: naming a menu item after a Hamas leader is illegal discrimination Trump Admin: naming military bases after Confederates who fought to keep blacks enslaved is good and patriotic

Pam Bondi doesn't answer questions about what the legal threshold is for the administration invoking the Insurrection Act

AI is coming for YOUR job and jobs all across the country. Who will benefit from this revolutionary transformation? Will it be working class Americans or the billionaires who own the technology? That is the economic struggle of our time.

Donald Trump and Republicans included a section in their “big beautiful bill” that would slash taxes and restrictions on purchasing gun silencers. That'll make it easier for ANYONE—violent criminals included—to get their hands on one of these dangerous silencers.

The DOJ just charged a Russian national with moving hundreds of millions through the system—mostly using a foreign stablecoin called Tether. The GENIUS Act includes a massive loophole that allows Tether to evade basic safeguards. It must not move forward without real fixes.

It is 100% carrying water for the opposition to participate in this collective delusion that Dems for some reason need to answer for every teen who throws a rock rather than hold the Trump admin accountable for intentionally creating chaos and breaking the law to stoke violence. They are in charge.

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving. There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later. They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

Trump's so-called "Big, Beautiful Bill" brings a sledgehammer to clean energy in America — hurting our fight against climate change while raising energy costs and slashing good-paying jobs.   That may be "beautiful" for Big Oil, but it's just another betrayal for working people.

The same president who wants to cut $800B from Medicaid and strip health care from 16 million Americans to fund tax cuts for billionaires...is spending $134M to send troops to CA and $45M on his birthday parade in DC. Burning taxpayer dollars to play king. Un-American.

Newsom: Trump, he's not opposed to lawlessness and violence as long as it serves him. What more evidence do we need than January 6th?

Newsom: This Saturday, he's ordering our American heroes, the United States military, and forcing them to put on a vulgar display to celebrate his birthday, just as other failed dictators have done in the past

Donald Trump promised to lower costs. So what are Republicans in Congress proposing in their "Big Beautiful Bill"? Cutting taxes for billionaires—funded by cutting food assistance and slashing health care for millions of people. It's the same old failed trickle-down economics.

SHARE WIDELY. KNOW YOUR RIGHTS. With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights. You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one. (1/3)

Yes. When the richest man alive owns over 5 times more wealth than the bottom 50% of American households, our country is rapidly moving towards oligarchy. That is unacceptable. We must create an economy and a government that works for all of us, not just the billionaire class.

Weird how the party of failed screenwriters and comedians hates Los Angeles and the people who live in it.

The Secretary of Defense lies under oath, claiming "21 million illegals" entered under Biden. Trump previously invented a 20 million figure out of thin air at a campaign rally. Recently, he randomly started saying 21 million. Now his surrogates are parroting that fake number.

American politicians:

Somehow I doubt Jake Tapper is going to get put on leave for retweeting this.

When private equity owns your doctor, you pay MORE for WORSE care. Their priority is profit. Governor Kotek just signed into law the strongest protections against corporate profiteering in health care. Congress should follow and get private equity out of health care nationwide.

Now the Speaker of the House, second in line to be President of the United States, is calling for the elected leader of the 4th largest economy in the world to be publicly tortured for [checks notes] defying the treasonous whims of the wannabe dictator currently occupying the Oval Office.

Q: The president said that if he were Tom Homan he would arrest Gavin Newsom. Do you believe Newsom should face consequences in a legal way? MIKE JOHNSON: Um, that's not my lane. I'm not gonna give you legal analysis on whether Gavin Newsom should be arrested. But he ought to be tar and feathered.

Trump is aggressively incurious and ignorant about most things outside of thuggery and being on TV, but the new thing this term is that he’s made sure there’s nobody around him to correct him or tell him no. It’s not a good spot for the country.

the whole point of the military parade & all of these threats is to intimidate people out of peacefully protesting, which is not going to work

Lots of people seem to think this is bad for red states too but I’m not so sure. Trump says he wants to personally make the disaster relief decisions. He’ll help his cronies and punish those who won’t kiss his ass. That’s life under mob-style governance.

Land of the free.

It is a disgrace that the Department of Defense continues to post partisan political messages on social media and a disgrace that the DHS Secretary is making political statements about elections from the Oval Office. They piss on this country’s traditions daily. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Patiently awaiting apologies from all the people who told me that describing Trump as a "fascist" was an overreaction.

this is your occasional reminder that every elite media outlet and editor that spent the last 5 years pretending Republicans were the free speech party is either a moron or a fascist and either way you should treat their every utterance with contempt

Tammy Bruce's gushing over Dear Leader would make DPRK flacks in Pyongyang blush

Happy TACO TUESDAY to all those who celebrate! #Yum 😋

"Mainstream media has a duty to inform its audience that Trump/Miller policies are in fact hateful. But it rarely does so. Moran is to be commended for speaking truth to power. Speaking truth to power is, after all, what journalists are supposed to do." — @nberlat.bsky.social

My thoughts on what’s going on in Los Angeles:

Great use of taxpayer funds.

Constitution? What Constitution? Tell me he is not already a dictator in his own mind...and, in an increasing number of ways, in practice.

Live look of civil-military relation experts:

Trump giving a partisan political speech on a military base to active duty troops, something that George Washington said in his farewell address to the nation that a president should never do. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Trump, speaking to troops at Fort Bragg, attacks "Gavin Newscum"

The king will grant favors to his courtiers...
