Every headline is horrific, has been for over a month, and will continue to be. We’re going to have to get each other through this. Today’s contribution: Brick performing Dazz in 1976. youtu.be/qKZ8gg8ffA4?...

I’m telling you @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social, please watch this. This is the energy. Not egg prices and book tours and strongly worded letters. It’s time to take the gloves off.

This is beyond awful.

DEMOCRATS IN CONGRESS: there have been times when you controlled the House & Senate, yet Republicans still found ways to block your legislation. DO THAT TO THEM! And—since the GOP won’t hold hearings, go home to your districts & hold mock hearings yourselves. Let the people see what’s really up!

Strong rumor with credible sourcing: DOJ has put all of public integrity line attorneys in a room and told them they have an hour for someone to choose who will sign motion to dismiss and if nobody does, they will all be fired. The nastiest strong-arming in DOJ history by a long shot.

This is a lawyerly way of saying “fuck off, clown” and I’m absolutely here for it

Folks: I am NOT affiliated with the group that is using my name to support an economic boycott. Please spread this post, if you would.

Deleting entire agencies won’t make the issues they work on disappear. Instead, everyone’s quality of life will go to shit.

REPOST if you support our federal workforce and know how dedicated they are to their jobs. Show them you appreciate them!

Pretty damn good framing for Dems

Since the FBI appears to be the only agency that is both still functioning and not headed by a lunatic, the Washington Field Office needs to open an investigation into the breach of the computer systems at Treasury, stat

Important point by Jamelle Bouie.

Are the next 4 years really going to be logging on everyday to sentences like "a 19 year old doge intern called Big Balls has your social security number" because I'm already at capacity for this sort of thing

i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or “controversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country

Me for the next four years is just going to be the scene from The Wire when Bunk and McNulty communicate just by saying F*** over and over again with different inflections www.youtube.com/watch?v=PNVE...

Basically, the country’s been taken over by a bunch of internet trolls and podcasters who thought running the government would be as easy as complaining about it.

This is truly awful.

Internal memo Homeland Security employees received today instructing them to send evidence of hidden DEI programs to “[email protected]

Tim Kaine is really really good at this

To understand this extremist approach to *legal* immigrants: 1. Birthright citizenship EO tries to deny citizenship to children of LEGAL migrants⬇️ 2. Invasion EO defines "unlawfully" present migrants to include people in USA who completed forms and were authorized by US Government⬇️ #Immigration

Rep. Nicole Malliotakis decries policies that lead to criminals who assaulted police officers being released back onto the streets (who wants to tell her?) (and how did Boris Sanchez not ask a follow up here?)

Instead of reading Politico, did you know you can just smash your forehead with a hammer?

I knew all this was going to happen. But nothing can really prepare you for what it feels like when the moment actually arrives. This is why we need each other and our communities. I plan to turn to them a lot in the coming years.

I dunno it seems destabilizing to create a cadre of heavily armed extremists who are fanatically loyal to the president and have reason to believe they are legally untouchable.

All these women who turned in January 6 terrorists are in danger tonight

note to the press: this is why Biden issued preemptive pardons 👇

Important to emphasize that this is projection. It is the radical right that has been committing violence in the U.S., not those who support liberal democracy.

“Social experiments in the military” is what racists denounced when the armed forces were desegregated

Constitutionally, President Trump cannot end birthright citizenship. What he can do is give cover for states like Texas and Florida to deny birth certificates and Social Security cards to newborns. He creates the confusion that he then can leverage for his own benefit. "Flood the zone with shit."

The sooner folks realize there are no underlying principles motivating these people beyond the acquisition of power, the easier it will be to understand what's going on

Bad Journalism: 1. Reporting TikTok may shut down Sunday w/o mentioning that the bipartisan law was a Donald Trump demand. 2. Failing to report that Trump's money man Elon Musk wants to buy the app. 3. Failing to report the Trump says he's now pro TikTok because these days "I'm a star" on the app.
