A white Apartheid dead-ender gutting the most successful humanitarian effort of the century, because it was saving too many Africans from AIDS, would have once been thought of as too "on the nose."

Remember this? Drinking at the podium. Chaos at the Pentagon. We’re one whiskey shot away from DEFCON 1. Every Senator who voted to confirm Hegseth knew exactly who he was. They don’t get to act shocked now—they should be held accountable.

They’re not “deporting” people, they’re kidnapping them and sending them to foreign prisons. Concentration camps. They’re paying these countries to imprison humans. It’s human trafficking.

If you have a public platform & spent years calming everyone down, telling us Trump was not a danger,was not racist, & arguing that the best way to deal w/Trump was to laugh at him, berated ppl who used the word fascist, insisted that the two parties are the same, admit YOU WERE WRONG.

I put a hold on Ed Martin’s nomination. He’s denied elections. Fired quality public servants. Attempted to chill free speech. Turns out he’s also carrying water for the Kremlin. So wholly unfit to be a U.S. Attorney.

"I'm so enraged by this also because of who Mr. Mahdawl is. He has said in the past that the fight for freedom of Palestine and the fight against antisemitism go hand in hand." Another excellent point from Balint.

Russian strikes on Kryvyi Rih, Kherson, Sumy, Odesa, Dnipro and many other Ukrainian cities are strikes on civilians. Deliberate strikes at locations where people are gathered. The Geneva Convention defines this as war crimes⤵️

Students attending DoD schools across the world just walked out of class in a brave protest against the Trump Administration's Orwellian censorship regime. Instead of removing books from the shelves about America’s history and constitutional values, Secretary Hegseth should try reading them.

Paul Krugman on why the attack on Social Security is something that should both inspire outrage and offer an opportunity to connect with working-class Americans. Democrats need to tell people—tell Trump voters in particular—that their Social Security checks are threatened!
