Raskin: This is a gangster state. This is not basically a legitimate government that is sometimes doing corrupt things. This is an essentially corrupt enterprise. It's like watching The Sopranos. Every day, they get up and they try to figure out how to plunder and pillage the people

That would be awful. Don’t share this.

#ProudBlue New post by Robert Reich @rbreich.bsky.social precisely sums up what we all suspected: Musk was primarily aligning with Trump for his own many interests in our government.

I'm Dr. Annie Andrews. I’m a pediatrician, not a politician. But either way I know how to handle people who are full of sh*t. Today I am announcing my campaign for US Senate to replace Lindsey Graham. Share this if you're with me. www.youtube.com/watch?v=J8wM...

Elon Musk had a very evident black eye as he appeared with Trump today to lie about DOGE. Drug abusers very often have black eyes from falls and other drug induced accidents. Following the NYT reports of his massive drug use, the presence of Elon’s black eye only proves their point. #ProudBlue

Elon Musk is standing in the Oval Office with Trump right now. He is swaying back and forth as he agrees with Trump’s listing all of the vital government contracts his DOGE cancelled. He looks stoned as fuck. Of course no cancellation of Elon’s $8 million a day in government contracts. #ProudBlue

1/2 Buried in the GOP’s budget bill is a dictator clause—a sneaky provision that would let Trump ignore court orders without consequence. It guts enforcement of contempt rulings unless plaintiffs post a bond, making the judiciary toothless. This would crown Trump king. 🔗 tinyurl.com/Crown-Trump

Hateful woman in Palmdale, California, keeps threatening to call ICE on a man—for flying a Mexican flag. Except, he’s an American citizen and flies the flag because he sells Mexican food. That’s it.

I was hesitant to write this obituary. Struggle as I might, I don’t have a grand life lesson of his life; nor I any clear meaning to make of his death. I’m just heartbroken that he’s gone. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/in-m...

Beyond parody.

Capitol Police chief blasts Jan 6 conspiracy theories: “My folks were here on Jan. 6.. They were assaulted.. Many of them were injured. They know exactly what happened on Jan. 6. For somebody to make up some story that, 'Oh, it wasn't that bad’..it is just not true” www.cbsnews.com/news/capitol...

My heart hurts today, and every day, about where we could have been. Fuck the entire Trumplandian Universe. We had our joy destroyed.

A letter — signed by 12 long-term institutional investors that together manage about $950bn in Tesla's assets — calls for corporate governance reforms to address a 'crisis' at the carmaker. www.ft.com/content/6b52...

No kings, masters, overlords or any of that bullshit. Time to take the country back.

Retiring US Capitol Police Chief Tom Manger tells @CBSMornings - the pardons of 1500+ Capitol rioters were a "slap in the face" to police and his department =====>

Vladimir Putin is a sworn enemy of the United States. Appeasement was never going to work. Why is that so difficult to understand?

They are purging all the transcripts.

Today, I was denied access to seeing my constituent, Mr. Kilmar Abrego Garcia. If there is nothing to hide, cut the crap. Let his lawyer and I check on him.

For those who sacrificed all, and the ones who will never forget them.

We have a president who virtually never thinks rationally, logically, or even in sequential steps. Nor can he fully comprehend causes and effects. His base of knowledge on virtually all subjects relating to governance and economics and world affairs is minimal. (1/2)

🤢🤢

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.

look, I may not agree with everything our president says, but I will defend to the death his right to be impeached, removed from office, arrested, stripped of his wealth, tried for his crimes and thrown straight the fuck into prison

Thanks Harvard, for taking a stand. Perhaps we should all stand together….

I haven’t watched even a second of CNN since Election Day. I don’t miss it at all. Not one bit. Anyone else out there like me?

It would be terrible if something, like a fire or flood, happened to this monstrosity!! www.nytimes.com/2025/05/21/u...

Phang: And you’ve got to appreciate that the congresswoman was able to say, “Look, this ain’t Fox News, buddy. This is Congress.” So if you’re going to be here and you’re going to try to make an allegation somewhere publicly, you better be able to back it up.

Tomorrow is Rümeysa Öztürk’s habeas corpus hearing in federal court in Vermont. At the same time, nearly 1,000 other women she was detained with in Louisiana remain in intolerable conditions. ICE has yet to answer my inquiries. I'll keep pushing.

Something overlooked is how the voucher scam, erasure of the Dept. Of Education, will affect the children in foster care. Already displaced, and rely on SNAP and MDCD. Children who, through no fault of their own, will be thrown to the wolves. They need mental health care, resources. I can’t…

Even though it's not technically (under current, gutted corruption laws) a bribe - I'm inclined to call it Bribe Force One. Thoughts?

“Who are you with” and “You’re a terrible reporter” are the last remaining clues that a question with any merit was asked. @nbcnews.com

ZELDIN: I understand you're an aspiring fiction writer. I see why. SCHIFF: I understand your view that you can cut half of the agency and it won't affect people's health or their water or their air. That to me is a big fiction ... you could give a rat's ass about how much cancer your agency causes
