A line you should never hear in a presidential administration: "It was the second time in recent days that Trump chose the father-in-law of one of his children to serve in his administration." www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...

This was the guy who didn’t qualify for a security clearance in his last administration. He also knows fuck all about counterterrorism, so there’s that. And there’s the small problem of the Hungarian neo-Nazi ties. I’m gonna need more scotch.

This is a question I asked myself often. The best answer I can come up with is “but muh free-dumb”

Well no shit.

Someone called this mass exodus from Twitter ‘the fall of the Broman Empire’ and I died laughing. 💀

Like others, I fear the threat of government retribution, political vengeance and an angry right-wing mob. But I know that giving into it will only strengthen Trump and undermine the future of our democracy. Trump wants us to be scared. He wants us to give up — gradually and then suddenly.

A government run by billionaires will never be for the people.

Behind a banner that read “No Putin. No War,” prominent Russian opposition figures led a march of at least 1,000 people in central Berlin Sunday, criticizing Russian President Vladimir Putin and his war in Ukraine and calling for democracy in Russia. apnews.com/article/kara...

glad to be here!

McDonalds is not killing the right people.

The fact the the GOP has to say “Donald J. Trump” is so stupid

Anyone else? One minute, I'm good and determined... the next thing I know, I'm wallowing in shit. 🙄

For a guy that supposedly knew nothing about Project 2025, he sure is putting a metric shit ton of them in his administration.

Colorful birb just got a goth girlfriend.

Serious question: How many of Trump’s prospective nominees and staffers have been credibly accused of sexual harassment or assault?

I'd watch this romantic adventure

Election Day has past, but the fight for democracy in court continues. There are 208 voting and election cases pending in 40 states. These will set the rules of elections for years to come. I started Democracy Docket to keep you informed. Sign-up now for free. www.democracydocket.com/me-subscribe/

Adam Schiff: "The problem today is that people are working and they still can't get by. When people see the quality of life their parents had and say 'that's better than what I have have,' all too many will entertain any demagogue who comes along promising they alone can fix it"

When I was in Congress the GOP went ape over Michelle Obama trying to have healthy school lunches. Now they’re RFKing America. The old GOP is dead fyi. Trump wants big govt

Fixed it!

Who could have seen this coming? 🙄

BRENNAN: Do you think experience is necessary? JIM HIMES: How far we have come that on a major news show the question we're examining is, 'is experience necessary for one of the most powerful positions in the land?' Of course it's necessary!...how is this what we're focusing on?

The idea that you *must* coexist with and listen to people who are cruel, unjust, and just plain unpleasant to be around is the logic of abusers, by the way

It was never about “free speech” over in the bad place.

Saying so privately means nothing. Go public.

This gave me goosebumps. “My 18-year-old daughter was at Starbucks, alone, the other night. A man came up to her and started talking to her. A barista handed her “an extra hot chocolate someone forgot to pick up.” How grateful I am for people who look out for other people!” We need each other.

Trump is going to replace the terrific Jennifer Granholm (who I worked with at the U.S. Attorney's Office in Detroit) with an oil executive - who has a vested financial interest in ignoring renewables - as Energy Secretary. It's perverse. www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...

Same. It’s exhausting.

But sure, let's do away with the Department of Education so we keep these people illiterate and easily influenced by lies.

Next time you're applying for a job, tell your prospective employer you'd prefer they not do a background check. Let's see how that goes.

I cannot overstate how dangerous this is. www.nbcnews.com/politics/pol...

Who the hell does he think he is? President? Yes. 🤬

New in PN: "Black women have long had to navigate being twice as good to get half the amount of credit. Kamala Harris’s presidential run was evidence of this." -- @itsafronomics.bsky.social

I don't want to hear a peep from the progressives who trashed Harris at every turn. Not a peep.

Pete Hegseth allegedly raped a 30 year old staffer in 2017. At a minimum, he had sex with her, and she was a married woman. At worst, he actually raped her, as she claimed and reported to police. Only the best for America, right? www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
