As we careen into authoritarianism the parallels with the Weimar Republic are obvious with the exception that i don’t think anyone then turned to his friend &said “Klaus, this is unbelievably dumb. like, literally everyone is an idiot. I realize i should be afraid but their stupidity is distracting”

If your argument is "sure, a terrible modern event has a parallel in the 1920s and 30s but don't worry we turned out just fine", might I suggest reading about the 1940s.

This says it all

Mitch McConnell voting no on terrible cabinet picks because he doesn’t have to run for reelection is all the proof you need that we must have term limits. You shouldn’t only have a spine because you don’t have to run again. We are breeding chicken shit power hungry electeds.

A coalition of news organizations said in a court filing that video exhibits from a Jan. 6 riot case had "disappeared" from a government platform that provided access to evidence used in court.

Five days apart.

Christ, these MAGA idiots in charge of the government are disgraceful disingenuous dipshits. And fuck Kanye!

A pitiless crackdown on on illegal immigration. A hardline approach to law and order. A purge of gender ideology & “wokeness” from schools. Erosions of academic freedom, judicial independence and the free press. An alliance with Christian nationalism. An assault on democratic institutions.

Kanye West is being condemned by the ADL & the American Jewish Committee after posting an antisemitic rant on X in which the rapper declared “I’m a Nazi,” called Hitler “so fresh” and stated that he is “never apologizing for my Jewish comments.” How long till Trump hires him?

On the upside, Melania Trump's crypto meme coin "MELANIA" has dropped nearly 90% in value ($1.44 billion) since Asshole's inauguration. So much fucking winning!!

This blew me away.

Seismic, and catastrophic. Russell Vought, an evil architect of Project 2025, is also an architect of Trump’s agenda to destroy the federal government. Vought is a lawless ideologue who wants federal workers to be “traumatically affected” when Trump tears down executive government institutions.

The husband of an Indian-American wife and the father of 3 Indian-American kids wants to bring back the staffer who posted “normalize Indian hate.”

BOO DONALD TRUMP AT THE SUPER BOWL BOO DONALD TRUMP AT THE SUPER BOWL BOO DONALD TRUMP AT THE SUPER BOWL BOO DONALD TRUMP AT THE SUPER BOWL BOO DONALD TRUMP AT THE SUPER BOWL BOO DONALD TRUMP AT THE SUPER BOWL BOO DONALD TRUMP AT THE SUPER BOWL BOO DONALD TRUMP AT THE SUPER BOWL PASS IT ON!!!

@elevenfilms.bsky.social can you help get out the word The attack on public education in New Hampshire is frightening Already ruled unconstitutionally under funding our schools they continue to make cuts and are pulling this now legiscan.com/NH/text/HB28...

Not so brilliant.

Republican legislators in Arizona are advancing a piece of legislation that would effectively make it impossible to prosecute county supervisors who block the certification of election results.

Two years ago I warned everyone not to embrace Brad Raffensperger as some sort of hero. Now he is sucking up to MAGA. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/brad...

the first good post i think i've ever seen from a democratic committee account

Gutting USAID threatens billions of dollars for U.S. farms and businesses. U.S. businesses that sold goods and services to USAID are in limbo, including American farms dealing in rice, wheat and soybeans purchased as food aid.

One of the most hopeful things I’ve seen all day is from the Meidas Network’s daily update: “Sen. Lisa Murkowski and many others say they have been beseiged by angry constituents: “The Senate phone system has been receiving around 1,600 calls each minute, compared to the 40 calls per minute. . .”

Project 2025 states clearly it doesn’t matter who is president. That’s why JD Vance is there and they will never leave if they accomplish what they are intending to do they’ll never leave and democracy is over. I spent three days at CPAC last year and they are deadly serious

There is a simple solution to the CBS/Trump lawsuit. The Harris campaign should sue Fox and insist Fox release the unedited versions of all their many edited interviews with Trump.

What they are doing will hurt Tennessee

Today is the best day ever for Xi Jinping. Yesterday was the best day ever for Xi Jinping. Tomorrow will be the day ever for Xi Jinping.

John Fetterman announces he will be voting NO on Tulsi Gabbard and RFK Jr.

lol, "vetting"

Douche chills

Pam Bondi is disbanding the Foreign Influence Task Force - the FBI team that is charged with combatting foreign meddling in US elections. Worth asking how this makes us more safe in any way, shape, or form.

NEW: Shortly after Pam Bondi was sworn in Wednesday, Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger asked her to drop the Department of Justice’s lawsuit challenging the state’s 2021 voter suppression law, S.B. 202. I warned you, Raffensperger is no hero. He is a GOP vote suppressor.

SCOOP: The US Treasury claimed a DOGE's Marco Elez didn’t have ‘write access,’ when he actually did. Sources tell WIRED that his ability to alter code controlling trillions in federal spending was rescinded, days after officials said it didn't exist.

There it is

Dear @Doge If there is nothing to hide. Hide nothing
