Pretty amazing that a former president will sit quietly as one of his successors orders US troops into American cities and ships innocent people off to concentration camps—but feels compelled to speak up when a fellow HR nightmare is at risk of losing to another member of the same party.

NYT found the “big beautiful bill” would be the largest transfer from the poor to the rich in a single law since at least 1990. In fact, it would be the largest transfer ever. Reagan’s low-income cuts were MUCH smaller - and his tax cuts were done separately. And before him, nothing comes close.

I’m just glad the elite media spent the better part of a decade telling us that powerless college kids and their trigger warnings were a national threat to our freedoms.

The speed with which the mainstream institutions and load bearing media orgs have folded is unbelievable. If there is a chance for libs to control them again in the future, they should be treated as what they are: dogs that have to know their place. This is the language they love and understand.

The US is openly, proudly engaging in collective punishment targeting a family, including 5 children. Undemocratic, to say the least, but also a deeply disturbing trend that could lead to much worse in the future. Just as gross is seeing the way these "anti-hate" groups salivate over it.

Is @aoc.bsky.social really not going to endorse @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social? That would crazy. He’s far and away the best candidate. And Cuomo is despicable. If she doesn’t the only reason would be falling in line with the corrupt broken DNC. I really hope that doesn’t happen

The only appropriate response to this is impeachment and removal from office. Every moment the political press spends spinning out theories about 2026 and immigration polling is a minute they are not spending asking Republicans in Congress about their plans to enforce the rule of law

One thing I wish people understood about authoritarianism is life often looks more or less the same. Troops aren’t marching down the street every day; people go to restaurants, have their office jobs. But everyone knows that stepping out of line, even slightly, can derail your life with no recourse

A lot of Democrats warned about these exact things because they were in Project 2025. A lot of the press dismissed them and then reported Trump had “nothing to do with Project 2025” and “disavowed” it. (Instead of just flatly saying he was lying because of course he was!)

On a daily basis, I marvel at how many people in putative positions of power are willing to help obliterate American democracy. The US has faced a series of very easy moral tests in the past decade and it’s staggering how often people in once-respected positions have failed.

Yes. If DHS can barge in, say your visa was revoked, be told you have a green card, say it's revoked too, and then disappear you so that neither your lawyer nor your family can find you, then all the guardrails are gone. There is no policy, practice, or law protecting anyone.
