Jerry Tamburino These countries currently have travel advisory warnings against the United States. France, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Germany, the United Kingdom, The Netherlands, Denmark and Finland. Just let that sink in.

jared polis and gavin newsom both clearly think they can be president and also clearly have the worst advisors and donors whispering in their ears that the key is to simply do really horrible shit and betray their voting base.

Holy shit. This is what Joni Ernst had to say to a scared Iowan telling her that her attacks on Medicaid and food stamps are going to hurt people.

Republicans love to say immigrants should “come the right way.” But when immigrants follow the law and show up to court, they’re being ambushed by ICE and fast-tracked for deportation.

When the next pandemic comes and it's a bird flu pandemic, every dead body will be on the head of Donald Trump and Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and I truly hope they're charged with a criminal offense—before they pass on of natural causes—for every needlessly deceased American. This is premeditated evil.

If you want to understand why this country is in the state it’s in, and why we have no real functioning opposition party, consider this: Rubio has been the most dangerous and dictatorial member of the Trump cabinet. And yet every single Senate Democrat voted Yes to confirm him.

Big Brother is watching everyone.

Update: reports today that multiple legal observers were arrested today in New York at two separate immigration courts, for allegedly “obstructing” ICE. Not only that, apparently some immigration courts are barring the public from attending hearings. This mess is escalating fast.

I have been sick for a week and I just read about "something going around" in a subreddit, which I guess is how I get my information now that the CDC is officially spending the next four years determining when and how microscopes became gay.

A student said to me at an event today, ‘I’d love to speak out and say stuff but I can’t because I’m on a visa.’ What has happened to America? Trump and Rubio and MAGA have killed free speech and the First Amendment in this country.

The tariffs were illegal all along. Not a particularly close call if you look at the law.

Beyond parody.

Trump's DOJ has granted Boeing a non-prosecution agreement over the 737 MAX crashes, despite the company's repeated attempts to deceive regulators.  Boeing donated $1M to Trump's inauguration and has paid AG Pam Bondi's former lobbying firm at least $480K. Follow the money.

“[One] of our amazing grants that have been cut … looked into how … in the inner ear …neurotransmitters … help us hear. … It’s actually possible that the reason that got flagged early on is the word ‘neurotransmitter,’ because it has the word ‘trans’ in it.” h/t @Cathy2NotToday on X.com

Where we’re at: Russian state media openly mocking Trump for his latest on Putin, and for changing his positions in posts:

I’m really tired of subsidizing red state failure with my tax dollars.

Notably: The Chrisleys were indicted by a federal grand jury in 2019, during the first Trump administration. The Trump-nominated U.S. attorney was BJay Pak. In Jan. 2021, Pak was forced to resign after Trump became convinced he wasn’t doing enough to investigate purported election fraud in GA.

the plan to make america great again is to make us an impoverished garrison state dominated by trump and his oligarch buddies

Thou shalt not call yourself “the law and order party” when your leader is a convicted felon who constantly pardons criminals in exchange for millions of dollars in bribes.

Not a coincidence.

"As Trump hordes white privilege for a smaller and smaller circle, Democrats can create a larger coalition based not on whiteness, but on solidarity for everyone targeted by fascism. Which, Trump is making clear, will soon be just about everyone." — @nberlat.bsky.social

Because free speech.

Trump’s reportedly sells his endorsements. It’s not about principle. It’s about profit.

"The Truth vs. Alex Jones," the documentary about the Sandy Hook trials, just won a Peabody Award. It features unprecedented footage from inside a U.S. courtroom, and it manages to capture both the horror and absurdity of this story. You can watch it on HBO Max. peabodyawards.com/award-profil...

This is not why Dems lost or keep losing. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

No man more beneath contempt has lived in America in my lifetime. Donald Trump is across the board the worst human in my country; our inability to educate our population to any decent standard is what led to this monster—and he is, daily and unabashedly, a veritable monster—becoming our dictator.

Targeting a private educational institute because it won’t conform its governance and curriculum to what the state wants is…communist.

Weigel: Authoritarian—that’s a fine word to use. If we were watching Canada do this, or France do this, right now—say, ‘We’re not letting any Americans into the school for political reasons’—we’d probably use that word. So I don’t know why it would be anathema when it’s happening here.

Christian Nationalists pretend that the United States was founded as a Christian nation, but the Constitution never mentions Jesus or Christianity. Not even once. Instead, it bans government promotion of *any* religion. Don't be fooled by their lying propaganda.

Place this man in an asylum and administer all of the antiquated therapies for mental illness that you can think of. Beginning with lobotomy and prefrontal.

At first I thought this was a job posting for ICE.
