This.

They’re not behaving as if they’re in a four-year term. They’re behaving as if they’re in an everlasting dictatorship. Are we all clear on this?

Trump is slowly figuring out that it was the Koch operation that chose, and is served by, “his” Supreme Court nominees, and that “his” people Leo and McGahn were really working for the polluter billionaires. Let’s review the history. 🧵

Sure, everyone under the sun is going to run in 2028—I get it. We can walk and chew gum, but our NUMBER ONE PRIORITY must be taking back the House and Senate so we can IMPEACH and REMOVE that POS with the $400 million flying bribe —in 2026!

So let me get this straight: masks are bad and un-American if worn to fight a pandemic, but good if worn by people claiming to be government agents when they kidnap people off the street

Hmm!

How much do you think it costs to make a pair of Nike shoes in Asia? Before you open this thread, take a guess. Settle on a number and then compare it to what you'll learn in this thread. 🧵

I heart @brooke — telling a suicide bomber who blew up the economy due for no reason that he is brilliant is peak beta chode for Ackman.

This is hugely horrifying.

“It should alarm all Americans that the leadership of the Department of Justice appears to value political loyalty above the fair and responsible administration of justice,” Liz Oyer testified. talkingpointsmemo.com/news/fired-d...

BREAKING NEWS: Senator Brian Schatz is BLOCKING over 300 Trump admin nominations by refusing to let them pass with unanimous consent. "I don't think we should make anything easy going forward,” he said. BLOCK THEM EVERY STEP OF THE WAY! MORE OF THIS!

This is how it’s done 👏

I feel like tomorrow is going to be a bad day so let me just go ahead and say this right now so that everybody can be mad that's going to be mad

This. ⬇️

Protests aren’t the only tool in the anti-authoritarian toolkit, but they’re incredibly important. Protests help us see each other; they make it feel safer to refuse to obey the dictator, and make it more possible for us to organize mass non-cooperation. It’s an essential step in the process.

Hands Off protest day👏. Half the battle is just showing up!

🙃 “I’m honestly shocked. I thought we had it in the bag,” said Pam Van Handel, chair of the Republican Party of Wisconsin’s Outagamie County. “I thought [Musk] was going to be an asset for this race..." www.politico.com/news/2025/04...

Celebrate International Women's Day by interrupting men with your unsolicited opinions and taking credit for their work. If they get upset about it, be sure to tell them that they sound hysterical and should smile more.

That is exactly true.

Trump's cutting of Ukraine's access to intelligence feeds is already inflcting a catastrophic loss of life at the front. And today, North Koreans are pouring over the border for the first time. Americans will never be forgiven for this. eutoday.net/us-intellige...

This is the best short speech about Trump's desecration of our democracy since he's re-entered office. Read it, absorb it, share it.

This is what a deal with the devil looks like👇 @housegop.bsky.social JUST VOTED TO CUT Medicaid, SNAP benefits, school meals, & housing assistance all in exchange for giving corporations & billionaires a tax cut all at the  expense of the middle class.

Where are the CEOs of @deltaairline.bsky.social @americanair.bsky.social @unitedairlinesual.bsky.social @jetblue2.bsky.social ? They’re good with this. Where are the leaders of business?

Folks: I am NOT affiliated with the group that is using my name to support an economic boycott. Please spread this post, if you would.

There's one plausible way Democrats could shut down the DOGE crime spree/constitutional crisis in the short term. And I'm pretty sure this is it. talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/where...

I don't know who needs to know this, but Pro Publica has an online thing that will format a letter to your US health insurance company to demand the records behind a claim denial. (which the insurance is then legally required to provide in most cases) projects.propublica.org/claimfile/

MAGA really is comprised of some of the dumbest people on the planet. We pay into Social Security. It's not a government handout. It's our fcukin' money.

1. As they say, @bsky.app has the juice. Over the last several weeks, we at @tpm.bsky.social gained a lot of followers, some very familiar with TPM. Some less so. For those less familiar with TPM, here’s what we’re all about, a thread. (with a little reward at the very end)

It takes an exile from Putin’s Russia, writing about the theories of an exile from Orban’s Hungary, to cut through the noise about Trump’s America, from which we have nowhere left to run. Gift link to M. Gessen in NYT: www.nytimes.com/2024/11/15/o...
