My big takeaway from tonight’s DC Bar president candidates Q&A is that Pam Bondi’s brother is exactly who you think he is, and it’s very important that DC lawyers cast our votes for @whatajlp.bsky.social by the 6/4 deadline. Search your email for “Vote Today in the D.C. Bar Election” and do it now.

I thought the list order was just Trump rant order but it is indeed the wiki trade deficit list.

In the Senate worldwide threats hearing just yesterday, Sen. Martin Heinrich asked: "Precise operational issues were not part of this conversation?" Tulsi Gabbard replied: "Correct." Pete Hegseth shared launch times in the Signal war plans chat.

Tucson, Arizona today. Original projected attendance was 3,000 people. 23,000 showed up.

We had Russia on the ropes. They were crippled by sanctions. They had made minimal headway into Ukraine. Putin had to survive a military uprising within his own ranks. He was down to pleading for conscripts from North Korea. Then he played his ace in the hole. Donald Motherfucking Trump.

It’s all performance art now

The last time America increased tariffs like this, it was 1930 — and it triggered the Great Depression.

love this @rokhanna.bsky.social We need more proposals like this that co-opt the chaos Please share off line as well !!!

And to think we could have had a sane, serious government run by an intelligent person who would have acted in the best interests of Americans, and not Vladimir Putin.

As of today, a new term has entered our language. A “rubio” is a spineless lump of nothing. Example: Don’t be such a rubio.

I have covered presidential politics for 40 years. This was the most juvenile display by a President and Vice President I have ever seen. Other presidents treated their enemies with more respect. This is a low point and a dark day for the US. Totally embarrassing.

"History will remember this day— when an American President and Vice President abandoned all we stand for."

I was trying not to doom scroll today but HOLY SHIT.

BREAKING The SEC has just halted its fraud prosecution of Justin Sun, a Chinese national who has put more than $50 million in Trump's pocket since November through the purchase of crypto tokens from a Trump-backed company, World Liberty Financial.

I guess Trump put so many rapists in his administration that he now has to import new ones.

Having served as a Moscow correspondent in the early days of Putin's reign, this reminds me of how the Kremlin took over its own press pool and made sure that only compliant journalists were given access.

"Nothing to see here. Move along."

“In some ways that’s even more chilling than firing the four stars,” Rosa Brooks, a professor at Georgetown Law. “It’s what you do when you’re planning to break the law: you get rid of any lawyers who might try to slow you down.” By NYT Greg Jaffe www.nytimes.com/2025/02/22/u...

This country has seen some bad moments in the 61 years, 5 months, 16 days I’ve been on this Earth. But it has never, ever before come close to the supertoxic level of stupidity, mendacity, narcissism, nihilism, and moral apathy that threaten to destroy it today.

Congratulations to rightwing anti-vax forces: you've reintroduced a deadly, vaccine preventable disease back into American society.

Believing that Tulsi Gabbard — longtime Russian asset and newly confirmed Director of National Intelligence — is acting in the interests of the United States requires an extraordinary level of self-delusion.

Tesla paid $0 in federal income tax last year. 2022: $0 2021: $0 2020: $0 2019: $0 2018: $0 Tesla reported $6.7 billion in profit in those years.

These are the clowns Congress refuses to stop.
