Donald has always been easily swayed by whatever is in front of him, but lately his decline has become even more obvious—whether its due to some kind of neurological condition or the worsening of his long undiagnosed and untreated psychiatric disorders or a combination, I don’t know. Mary Trump

Putin has something on everyone of them. See the 2015 hack of the RNC. Probably massive campaign finance violations that involved enough of the party to create fear amid the threat of blackmail. The coverup is always worse than the crime.

"You are not refugees. You are just a case study of white flight dressed up as martyrdom. You are not escaping violence, you're escaping equality."

This should be today’s headline. The question is: why are so many business leaders, journalists and politicos pretending they don’t know this?

I appreciate @vanhollen.senate.gov for keeping attention on Abrego Garcia's case. www.cbsnews.com/baltimore/ne...

It was wonderful celebrating the exceptional young artists who submitted pieces for the Congressional Art Competition. Congratulations to the winners, and thank you to everyone who participated!

It’s hard to really state how dangerous it is to have a growing authoritarian order and the asshole in charge of your country is the most easily corruptible and influenceable person alive.

Episcopal Church Migration Ministries halted its decades partnership with the U.S.. They denounced the resettlement of white South Africans to the U.S., accusing the government of discrimination. South Africans jumped ahead of thousands of refugees who have undergone years of vetting & processing.

Un-American for thine, graduation for mine.

Qatar has a population of about 3 million and ~2.6 million of them are foreign workers which in this context, as with the other Gulf kleptocracies, basically means modern-day slaves. Not great that even before this we had obscene amounts of slave state money slushing around DC as an open secret.

I truly hope an enterprising reporter looks into who these “refugees” are from South Africa. The administration swears they’ve been vetted, but considering how much they lie, I’m skeptical. What’s their financial situations? And were they in danger in any way?

Saturday night = Star Wars night 🤩

Lil T has authoritarian designs & is in graft mode with crypto and $400M "gift" AF One from Qatar. We know he & his crime family will not stop. What we can we do is place our focus on the very people who prop him up- Repulican Senators & Reps. Instead of saying T did it, we can say GOP did it.

The Constitution disagrees. The Emoluments Clause, part of Article I, Section 9, Clause 8, bans office holders from taking ANY gifts from foreign countries. There is no mention of quid pro quo. That is because the Founding Fathers knew that even the *appearance* of corruption promotes corruption.

To be clear - even the city of Nashville has no proof anyone ICE has arrested was a violent criminal or a gang member. (And due process is a thing) All anyone has is ICE’s word, backed up by @GovBillLee & Blackburn. Maybe the media could point that out instead of parroting their talking points?

The GOP wanted to impeach Biden for a fake $5M bribe from Ukraine that was made up by a guy sitting in prison for lying about it, but they’re cool with a $400M plane from Qatar. Do I have that right?

Prove what this man’s saying is wrong with facts, reason, logic & truth, not… Emotion, xenophobia, ‘patriotism’ & denial.

This is too wholesome

🧵 Masha Gessen, who lived under Russia’s secret police, is sounding the alarm: the U.S. is now echoing those same authoritarian patterns. Raids, surveillance, fear tactics—it’s not theoretical anymore. We are watching a police state take root in real time. #OnYourSide @mashagessen.bsky.social
