Oh FFS

This 🧵💯

Is it a shitty thing to do? Ask your doctor if the trump administration is right for you.

When I see shit like this I can't help but think that the medical community should have spoken up a bit more forcefully when republicans were going after women and transgender rights. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/25/h...

NEW: Government officials insist that neither DOGE nor Musk have any real decision-making authority—they merely “advise” or “consult.” But internal DOJ emails provide the most compelling evidence yet that DOGE is not simply advising—it’s calling the shots. www.lawfaremedia.org/article/on-d...

Joe Biden signed executive orders too—but he also passed laws. He worked with Congress to actually get things done. Where’s Donald Trump on that? He can’t do it. Executive orders are all he’s got.Trump already burned through all of his political capital…

ProPublica report: 1 million children will not be treated for severe acute malnutrition Up to 166,000 people will die from malaria New cases of tuberculosis will go up by 30% 200K more children will be paralyzed by polio over the next decade #DOGE Return on evil www.thefarce.org/taxpayers-wi...

I really wish reporters would stop saying that there is an effort by the Trump administration to combat antisemitism. It is quite the opposite. There is an effort to foment antisemitism. forward.com/fast-forward...

As someone who cares deeply about equality, & helped do the logistics for the abortion referendum in Ireland, I want to talk about hatred of women & girls. Next time you see ‘women’s rights’ mentioned in the media get yourself a copy of Mein Kampf*. It explained these supposed ‘rights’.

Before they exiled the kids, they used them as hostages. I hate this so much. www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

Just reposting this to say if you’re attending the WHCA dinner tonight, you’ve earned the flotilla of fuck yous that’s coming your way. Here, let me get it started: fuck you.

Connecticut’s attorney general sent a letter warning Avelo Airlines that it has jeopardized tax breaks and other local support by agreeing to conduct deportation flights for ICE. By @mckenziefunk.com

I am not attending parties with the White House tonight. If you want someone that mingles with Trump officials as if we are all part of a DC club, I'm not your guy. If you want to understand how to fight Trump to stop him from destroying democracy, sign up to Democracy Docket now. hubs.ly/Q03jcjqP0

One thing that scrambled my brain while writing this is that, as a result of him spending the last four months making people hate him, Elon Musk’s net worth has gone down by as much as Mark Zuckerberg’s *total net worth* www.fastcompany.com/91323650/elo...

🚨 Unearthed video: Minnesota Republican state senate candidate Keri Heintzeman speaking out against condoms, IUDs, and birth control implants. The special election is Tuesday.

Sunset on my beautiful Bay

The White House wants the public to think it’s “righting the ship” at the Pentagon by changing the staff around "Leaky Pete" Hegseth. But one of those promoted is Sean Parnell, who dropped his Senate bid in Pennsylvania over allegations he choked his ex-wife and told her to get an abortion. 1/2 🧵

No wonder they hate us.

The businesses on PublicSquare felt that I should take their politics into account in deciding whether to patronize them. Guess what? I agree.

Wearing a bright blue suit, texting, and then sleeping at Pope Francis’s funeral. What an embarrassing mess.

If anyone in the legacy media wants to know why they have lost the trust of the American public, I suggest they tune into C-SPAN at 8pm tonight for a tutorial. Support pro-democracy, independent media.

It’s important to understand that this is the Trump administration’s plan. Kilmar Abrego Garcia, Judge Hannah Dugan, two-year-old V.L.M. They are not outliers, exceptions, or aberrations. This is their plan. New, at Law Dork —>

All I can say is that @ruthbenghiat.bsky.social called it [checks watch] NINE YEARS AGO that ICE would become Trump’s brownshirts

I wanted to try and figure out how Neil Gorsuch concluded that 'Pride Puppy', an ABCs book about a lost dog at a pride parade that he insists he read, exposes kids to "bondage" and "sex workers." The answers are somehow even dumber than you can imagine. A brief thread:

The Attorney General is so unserious. If you’re a prosecutor who is serious about obtaining a conviction, you don’t go on Fox and talk about the (alleged) facts of the case like this. Has Bondi read the Justice Manual? Has Bondi heard of pretrial publicity motions? How about bar ethics rules?

Cooper: Wow, his image is being shown on a monitor.. that's why you hear people actually applauding. They're applauding President Zelenskyy when he appeared on some of the Jumbotrons

His book on violent white supremacy among those pulled at the USNA Annapolis.

So we have fascist FBI photo ops now?

A TWO YEAR OLD?!!!

Baked eggs

Just in time for the legacy media to fete the administration in a weekend of parties.

Oh and yes the Democrats are probably shivering in their shoes about being accused of overreach, ridiculous. How many times did Comer try to impeach Biden for stupid shit? Republicans won in 2024, voters want you to do something.

I mean when will it be enough, what does he have to do? Sure it won't go anywhere with republicans in charge but at least articles of impeachment would be a running tally of the abuses.

Not fun and games is it anymore eh complicit media?

Every lie he's caught in, he claims was said "in jest."

Understand what is going on here ... Every day the Trump administration is right out of the Nazi Playbook. Hitler said this in 1942 ⬇️⬇️ and here we are today

A New Mexico judge and his wife have also been arrested, for allegedly hiding a TdA gang member in their home. Given recent history, it’s probably best to take the “hiding” and “gang member” allegations with a fistful of salt. www.the-independent.com/news/world/a...

Imagine if Joe Biden, newly in office, had launched a company with Hunter Biden and used his social media to recruit financial backers. Then promised the most generous among them would earn an invitation to a private dinner with him ... Trump just did that.

Incredible scoop! Career officials inside the Trump administration first viewed the case of Mr. Abrego like any normal case of a wrongful deportation — they began looking for ways to bring him back, as happens normally when ICE makes mistakes. Then the White House got involved, and blew it up.

When Hamilton described the executive branch as having the "power of the sword" in Federalist 78, I don't think he meant that arms of the executive should use that sword to threaten judges.

If we are arresting judges now I know of a couple of well known ones who have been taking bribes for years.

Through all his troubles, neither the DOJ/FBI nor any state authorities ever subjected Donald Trump to arrest, preferring in every case to proceed by indictment and voluntary surrender. It’s notable that a sitting judge and pillar of the Milwaukee community was not extended the same courtesy.
