A part of me will never get over that we didn’t get to have her presidency.

So many genuinely alarming aspects to this but one that stands out to me now is how easily such an ignoramus could be lead by the nose. Having a president that isn’t just literate but actually knows shit as well as what shit the don’t know is a core prerequisite for the job on Earth-2. .

There are the rubes and there are the disingenuous. The former should have know by Year of Our Lord 2024 that #1 Trump lies and #2-99 Trump lies. Maybe if they can be convinced of it now, they can get a bucket of water. The latter are on the fast track to a shame-entry into MAGA.

I mean he did say he’d target gang members. But you just have to be born earlier then yesterday to understand that was never going to be even a low priority let alone the sole focus. The man’s entire campaign was bald-face lying & everybody knew it. Except folks who are either rubes or disingenuous

As I've said before, what we're dealing with fundamentally here, and have been dealing with for some time, is evil. Our political norms and political media prohibit talking about a mainstream political faction this way. But it is the truth. It needs to be known and it needs to be said.

Not a surprise. This lying mother fucker. We have to get real used to asking every single fucking time- where’s that money going? Where’s that money at?

Between this and the Venezuelan TPS ruling, #SCOTUS has now cleared the way for removing more than one million non-citizens who, until now, were legally protected against removal. This also ratchets up the stakes in the "third-country" removal case, since many of these folks can't be sent home.

I knew the COVID pandemic broke a lot of minds but every day we’re introduced to new depths. This virulent denialism is not a great sign for our chances of fighting other inconvenient truths about the natural world, if you catch my drift.

lmao wow The relief on the Marketplace episode I heard tonight (recorded before the stay) was palpable. If only he weren’t a total fucking dip, he’d’ve cashed in on that

Whitmer got Trump to commit to protect the Great Lakes from the Asian carp, but this is a reminder that his word isn’t worth shit.

Does STAT have a bar for the news where it's in the public interest that the reporting not be behind one of the higher paywalls I've seen a news outlet? Because it seems like this should meet any such standard.

This is a serious over-correction to the “everybody should go to college” messaging Millennials grew up with. Why does it have to be either/or? It doesn’t: we can provide affordable college and on-ramps for the trades. We’re the richest country ever.

In the same way that the brand of Christianity that Trump’s most zealous followers practice is an anti-Christian heresy that actually disdains many core tenets of Christianity, Trumpist patriotism is anti-American in a very deep and fundamental way.

With “Art of the Deal” being “show your belly before they even come over,” I’m guessing the latter.

The point is a simple one. When the foundations of civic democratic America are being systematically gutted by the most reactionary administration at least in modern American history we shld be even less patient than usual with clout chasing lefty pablum making a perverse common cause with reaction.

Will have to see if there's more to the exchange but Senator Hassan lets her off the hook her by framing the return question that way. Noem gets a clip where she says she supports "habeas corpus" but doesn't have to affirm the actual meaning—she indicates she's reiterating her initial statement.

These 350,000 will immediately be described as "illegal" by the administration — among other inevitable false descriptors.

Good News, per Democracy Docket! "SCOTUS declined to take a case from Michigan GOP lawmakers who used the radical independent state legislature theory to challenge two voter-approved pro-voting amendments to the Michigan Constitution. The amendments will remain in effect." www.democracydocket.com

Fascists putting the name of the Statue of Liberty in their mouths is a type of scent marking that we should reject on top of the comparison being bad-faith.
