Well done, Honda. We’re about to see Honda and others do to SpaceX what the automotive industry is doing to Tesla. youtu.be/TPiLE9ALTDE?...

I’m all for people going the speed limit but this ain’t it.

So @nytimes.com and @washingtonpost.com No screams about American democracy dying at the hands of trumplicans?

Instead of high-profile battles waged in key states, we’ve seen a handful of mostly smaller red states — many of which already weren’t making things easy for voters — pass laws imposing new restrictions, and largely escaping serious media scrutiny. www.democracydocket.com/analysis/red...

This’d be you @nytimes.com This is you:

100%. The traditional media has epically failed us. No part of this Trumpian nightmare is normal.

He certainly tells it EXACTLY how it is...

E. Jean Carroll just beat Donald Trump in court. Again. Imagine if the Republicans in Congress had even 1/100th of E. Jean Carroll's courage. But alas...

the era of postmaterialist voting is profoundly stupid

🤣🤣

Isn't this pretty much how every zombie movie has started since the late 80s? Either way, I saw someone call deportation Barbie patient zero, and I can't disagree! Any guesses on what she's managed to contract from there? I wonder if botulism and ebola are a bad combo? #28Days #SheShed

A panel on TV debates the ethics of boiling the frog. The panel is composed of twelve herons and no frogs. The Amphibian Conservation Organization is stripped of government grants. All funding is redirected to the new Department of Frog-Boiling.

SLOTKIN: Have you given the order to be able to shoot at unarmed protesters in any way? HEGSETH: What is that based on? SLOTKIN: It is based on Trump giving that order to your predecessor, who I give a lot of credit to bc he didn't accept the order. He has more guts & balls than you

"THE END OF OUR CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC AS WE KNOW IT COULD BE HAPPENING NOW"

Wish I had a governor like this. 👇🏾#walz

"Looking like an illegal" doesn't give anyone the probable cause to roughly throw someone to the ground and handcuff them as long as the Constitution still matters in America!

Massive protest in NYC tonight to say NO to war with Iran. Iranian-Americans, Israeli-Americans, and peace activists stood united in fear and defiance—demanding de-escalation, not bombs. Trump hasn’t decided yet. As if it’s his decision to make. Always forgets about Congress.

They didn’t perform a cesarean.They harvested a fetus from her corpse. Let’s call it what it is: an experiment. A inhumane experiment carried out on a Black woman, because historically, we know medical institutions use Black bodies as test subjects before offering those same treatments to

Hot take: the way Tucker grills Ted Cruz in those clips should be the rule not the exception. If more of the media did this we would be in a much better place* (* = It should go without saying that we are not and never will be Tucker fans)

I will never again see an ICE agent without assuming they're from Proud Boys or Oath Keepers, a pardoned Jan 6 rioter or a member of the KKK.

A judge ruled EPA termination of environmental justice grants was unlawful. EPA cannot “thumb its nose at Congress” by refusing to spend appropriated funds, the judge wrote.

Every country should call out Trump’s lies

Geez this guy. His answer to everything is that it’s someone else’s fault, he’s the consummate victim, it may not have started on his watch but it is going on on his watch and HE did promise to resolve it in 24hrs. What happened to HIS promise? He’s full of crap.

Concerned citizens have turned to the Neighbors app, once used largely to look for lost deliveries, to make public service announcements about ICE raids in their communities.

Iran says Trump's lying.

The trumplican regime must no longer represent the USA. Their international incompetency and authoritarian self absorbed idiocy makes them unqualified.

A MAGA conspiracy theorist might ought to be asking if this was an intentional lab leak.

President Obama spoke yesterday about the need for law firms to stand up to Trump. "Presumably, you went into the law because you believe in the law. If you are getting pressure from government saying ignore, fudge, or compromise that commitment. You have to push back."

As Trump escalates his crackdown on Democratic elected officials, Democracy Docket is tracking, analyzing and reporting every move. Join a community of hundreds of thousands who support its independent and fearlessly pro-democracy mission. hubs.ly/Q03jcjqP0

I joined Nicolle Wallace on Deadline White House to discuss former President Barack Obama’s warnings of the U.S. being “dangerously close” to autocracy and the recent arrests of Democratic officials. I hope you watch and enjoy. www.youtube.com/watch?v=P8e8...

@nytimes.com You complained incessantly over a president who was a bit slow, however the trumplican insanity rages on and you quietly sit there like an unemployed, broke MAGA wife with eight kids.

DJT: “You see the Declaration of Independence and you say. I wonder if the Civil War, maybe that could have been solved without losing 600,000 plus people.”

If Biden said this Jake Tapper would have to write a whole other book

Federal agents arrested New York City comptroller and Democratic mayoral candidate Brad Lander outside an immigration court after he attempted to accompany a person out of a courtroom Tuesday. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

I wrote this four days ago. Today, they arrested the NYC Comptroller.

An absolutely riveting piece by @guitarwatson.bsky.social. “I have only two words,” he said. “Never again.” www.democracydocket.com/opinion/a-ho...

We are witnessing an epidemic of the abuse of the power of the federal government, including the criminal system, to target and intimidate Democrats and their supporters. Trump will escalate this until people stand up to him. It is time we all have the courage to peacefully stand up and say enough!

The vast majority of people Trump is terrorizing have done nothing wrong. They came here to work, to give their families a better life. Trump should try acting like a president at least once.

Trump: "That's a takeover of our govt. Not only they did they cheat -- I guess you saw yesterday, it came out with China & the license plates. Tens of thousands of cards. They used those cards to vote on the second election. The one 2020. Because as everybody here knows I won that election by a lot"

Dementia Don is whining about 2020.. . Again.🙄

Trump has moved from saying you need a photo ID to purchase groceries to barfing out a conspiracy theory that China sent people here with fake license *plates* they used to cast fraudulent votes. Anyway, this escaped dementia patient has the nuclear arsenal at his command, have a great weekend.
