Injured DC police officer Dan Hodges on Justice Dept settlement with estate of Ashli Babbitt: “…Trump wants to pay the insurrectionists so that he'll have them on retainer for the next time he wants to influence the course of history with mass violence.”

I guess we’re just skipping over the decline and fall of the republic and going right to the bread and circuses stage of despotism. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/16/u...

Ah yes, rugged individualism, American style.

Back the blue? Your followers BEAT the blue on Jan. 6 and then you pardoned them. Shameful.

The plaque honoring the heroes of January 6 is finished, but the GOP refuses to hang it in the Capitol. Not one Republican has offered a reason why. If they can’t respect the officers who defended our democracy, the very least they can do is respect the law.

No one is above the law except, according to the Supreme Court, a president. Everyone who is accused of violating the law is entitled to due process. It is un-American and unconstitutional to believe in one and not the other.

Be like Pope Francis. The essence of Christianity is caring for the poor, for those who are vulnerable. Pope Francis was a Christian who did that, and that is why he meant so much to so many. Here’s that time he washed the feet of incarcerated women. #PopeFrancis edition.cnn.com/2024/03/28/e...

Pope Francis’s "Urbi et Orbi" Easter speech: “How much contempt is stirred up at times towards the vulnerable, the marginalized and migrants...I appeal to all those in positions of political responsibility in our world not to yield to the logic of fear which only leads to isolation from others.”

Before the election, I warned that there is no safe haven under authoritarianism. If they can ship Kilmar Abrego Garcia to a foreign prison—accused of no crime, with no trial—they can do it to anyone. Americans of conscience must stand against this now.

So, if I understand correctly, the President of the United States is saying that the Supreme Court of the United States consists of nine “sick people,” including three whom he appointed. apple.news/AMHDqIFcpRxi...

Art of the Deal!

From an operational security perspective, this is the highest level of fuckup imaginable. These people cannot keep America safe.

Sounds like the perfect reason to protest!

Mike Myers, Canadian legend, on SNL tonight.

Whoops, I accidentally cancelled Ebola prevention! Doh, I fired the the bird flu experts! Oops-a-daisy, I stopped the Lutheran Charities foster care and adoption services! My bad, I sacked the nuclear weapons workers! Now can I have access to your tax returns?

Says it all.

We apologize to our Ukrainian supporters. We are embarrassed by how our president and vice president have behaved. We are fighting to redeem the soul of America. 🇺🇸
