Never side with power. Side with the marginalized.

I am literally begging reporters to stop calling illegal shit “charting new territory” or other crap like that. Most of the public doesn’t know the law and they are counting on you and you are dropping the goddamn ball.

This talking thumb can fuck all the way off. Gonna be The Hague for you, Homan.

100%.

I'd say they should fight it out, but they're both such soft little clowns, it'd be little more than a slap fight. So go ahead and post tough, lil' guys. #trumpandelon

About the same thing.

I was told the economy was booming.

there is no trade deficit in ba sing se www.politico.com/news/2025/06...

The Trump administration is trying to block politically inconvenient government data Tell them they can fuck right off www.gelliottmorris.com/p/the-trump-...

"Servility is both a choice and a habit," is now my favorite aphorism. Gonna send it along to Maggie and Peter at the paper of record. Maybe they'll take a moment away from dinner parties to consider the entire point of J-school. Or not.

If Ukraine can do it we can do it. Fuck tyrants.

The Golden Age of America

The degree to which our political press prioritizes invitations to dinner parties over breaking stories is what we are where we are. Hi, Haberman, Baker, and Tapper. Hi.

Again feel compelled to mention that Mike Johnson, Keebler elf, "adopted" an African American teen who subsequently disappeared from from his family history. Seems bizarre, but the press shrugs. Same guy purports to not have a bank account. Again: huh.

I mean, are we really angry ENOUGH at @jaketapper.bsky.social sorry ass, a guy who cast aside everything he learned in J-school to make a few bucks attacking a good man and an excellent President? I don't think we are. Tapper is the worst of access journalism horseshit.

HARVARD PROF David Armitage: “We’re being made an example of by Trump — authoritarians across the world go for the universities first, because they’re set up for freedom of thought and provide critical opposition.”

Adding: I hate ignorance and fascism VASTLY more.

I detest elitism -- but #Harvard.

Remember the 2nd case like Abrego Garcia, involving the gay man deported to Mexico n/w/s having been terrorized and held for ransom there? Judge Murphy orders the US to bring him back. not facilitate, not effectuate, bring him back.

The country is circling the drain. CNN: Let's talk about @jaketapper.bsky.social shitty book, which misses the moment ENTIRELY.

I am worried that even as we see the weaponization of government against Trump's political opponents, too few have stepped forward to object. I worry that as a result, we will see an escalation of political retribution that will be met with what MLK called "the appalling silence of the good people."

Convicted Felon, Donald Trump, is going after for the courts. He’s scared of an independent judiciary. I’m your Shadow Press Secretary and here is the truth: @thepersistnetwork.bsky.social #WADM

Listen. Tough times, yes. But don't be sad or despondent, at least not for long. Be fucking mad and incandescent. These clowns will fail and fall and there will be a reckoning.

Literally the most corrupt bunch of amoral assholes ever to hold public office. Fucking rogues gallery of evil clowns.

It’s official: Over 1,000 events are planned for No Kings Day on June 14. While Trump wastes nearly $100 million on his birthday parade in DC, we will be taking to the streets everywhere else to show the world what democracy really looks like. Find your local event: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...

100% correct. And idiot MAGATs cheer it on.

While Americans are reeling from the House vote to gut Medicaid, Medicare and SNAP, there's a hidden landmine buried in the bill that could destroy what's left of our democracy. This tiny provision would remove the judiciary’s capacity to hold officials in contempt and enforce judicial orders. 1/3

The whole thread.

There it is. 5.13% on the 30yr. An 18-year high. 🇺🇸 @mikezaccardi.bsky.social

The Hague for these fuckers.

Stop being such fucking pansies. Jfc. Do any of these people have an ounce of self respect?

Jeffries: There are three big issues with the bill 1. It represents the largest cut to healthcare in American history. 2. It represents the largest cut to nutritional assistance in American history. 3. All of this is being done to enact the largest tax break for billionaires in American history.

While he guts life-saving programs, Trump is going to waste millions of our tax dollars on a birthday parade to feed his ego. That’s why June 14 is No Kings Day. We’re taking to the streets to reject authoritarianism with nearly 1,000 events planned in all 50 states: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...

My statement on the charges filed against me:

Where's @merriam-webster.com? Tomorrow's word is: "Overreach." As in: Your reach exceeds your grasp, you wannabe fascist shitbirds. Enjoy the blowback. Adding: 86 fucking 47.

Cato has published my comprehensive review of the ~240 Venezuelans the US government renditioned 2 months ago to Salvador’s notorious prison. We identified FIFTY who came legally, never violated any immigration law, but are imprisoned at the US government’s request and at US taxpayer expense.

This is the way.

I stand by my prediction that Elon's story ultimately ends with him in prison, in exile, or dead by his own hand.

Pete Buttigieg is correct: Americans bow to no king. On June 14, we’re taking to the streets across the country to reject Trump's authoritarianism and say NO KINGS. Don’t see an event in your area yet? We’ve got everything you need to start one yourself: www.nokings.org/?SQF...

Taking a moment to say, fuck this dimwitted wannabe authoritarian. And to those of you who supported him: Pls, dear God, take some remedial civics classes bc Jfc.

You'll be shocked to learn that Alito and Thomas dissented.
