Trump said that rioters on January 6 had "no choice" but to assault police officers If any Democrat in the country publicly justified the assault of a police officer it is all you would ever hear about for years www.nbcnews.com/politics/don...

My client @libradunn1.bsky.social speaks truth.

I prefer presidents who aren't wannabe authoritarians.

This piece is absolute worth reading Donald Trump’s Administration Hopefuls Descend on Mar-a-Lago www.newyorker.com/news/dispatc...

Many others are saying it, but it is becoming apparent that Bluesky is the new journalist's paradise. The signal to noise ratio is extremely high. Far fewer trolls, bots, and hate speech/junk content to deal with. I am finding major news tips every hour. It bodes well for Bluesky's future.

Pam Bondi Disqualifications 1️⃣ Trump lawyer whose attorney-client privilege with him means she cannot be independent at DOJ. 2️⃣ Was an agent of a foreign government this decade—which government has repeatedly tried to bribe the Trumps. 3️⃣ Many ethics investigations, from Bribery to Animal Theft.

Thanks to Donald Trump, we now must contemplate the possibility of a misogynist Christian Reconstructionist secretary of defense. snyder.substack.com/p/the-crusad...

Prison next?

I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget

Correct

Delightful

WOW, pull up a seat and enjoy the sight of the always excellent Rep. Jasmine Crockett lighting up House Republicans about the real victims of oppression. Hint: It's not Republican men.

House Republicans spent the past 2 years accomplishing NOTHING, the least productive Congress in history. But they rose up in unison, not to pass something for the middle class, but to deny an elected trans woman use of the bathroom. Hate is a powerful drug.

As usual, former President Bill Clinton explains clearly why Trump's picks are so awful: "He believes that his supporters have no confidence whatever in the federal government. And Lord knows he's done everything he could to destroy that confidence."

Let's make something perfectly clear: We STILL need to see that Matt Gaetz report. It must be REALLY, really bad. 😳

If you've had your fill of the Matt Gaetz withdrawal from AG news, how about some dessert: a recently unearthed recording of RFK Jr calling MAGA “belligerent idiots” and “bootlickers.” RFK Jr's got some explaining to do!

FUCK. YEAH. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

nothing to see here perfectly normal everything going according to plan

When so-called ‘religious people’ make the most depraved man alive the most powerful man in the world, it's easy to understand why people have stopped going to church… Isn’t it?! 🤚

“An emergency room nurse contacted police in 2017 after treating a woman who said that while drinking with colleagues after a political gathering several nights earlier she may have been drugged and was then sexually assaulted by a man she later identified as Pete Hegseth”

One issue with "Trump's playing 5D chess with nominees" is that he and his team are flatfooted on issues that arise with them. It's almost like—bear with me—some dim narcissist who refuses expertise is choosing people he saw talk good about him on the teevee, without much thought beyond that.

Which brings us back to fascist, authoritarian trump and his DIRECT ASSAULT on the Constitution. Thank you MAGA, for doing it for him. Timothy Snyder explains that these nominations are a “decapitation strike.” www.facebook.com/share/p/zbDs...

Rape is prevalent in the military. Can you imagine how much more prevalent it would be if you put Hegseth in charge? Chilling.

There’s pro-democracy and there’s the right. Articles like this are gaslighting bullshit.

Literally..

I’m re-running my first podcast interview with @5gw.bsky.social this week, with a new introduction, to emphasize the failures of Merrick Garland’s DOJ to indict Gaetz—and how that failure led us to a man my mother said “looks like Satan” coming *this close* to taking Garland’s job.

Clowns maybe entertaining, but they should never be put in charge of anything. My latest on Trumps clown car cabinet: adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/trump-pack...

A lot of Americans are about to find out what the federal government they so despise actually does. Of course by then it will likely be too late.

🤬

House Ethics Committee Republicans have landed on an excuse of not releasing the Gaetz report because it’s “unfinished,” and that would set bad precedent. Yes, THAT’S the precedent we must avoid— but nominating someone accused of child sex trafficking? That precedent is apparently fine with the GOP.

It took me twelve years (!) to build up my audience on Twitter. It took 5 days to surpass the 50% point of my Twitter following on Bluesky. I’m hopeful that the overall growth on this site will negate the need to go on Twitter altogether. Sad to see what it devolved into, but thrilled to see it die.

One of my favorite things about this app is how I can post about anything, and not have 500 moronic MAGAts telling me to "cry more." I could almost shed a tear, LOL. 🥹
