Republicans in Congress aren't holding Donald Trump accountable. So @raskin.house.gov and I are. Tune in: www.youtube.com/live/ElEVeJA...

We wouldn’t be here if SCOTUS had allowed the January 6th trial to go forward as scheduled.

Cross-post regarding a new post I've written on Substack: danerthomas.substack.com/p/to-move-aw...

Et tu, WSJ?

Mark Kelly: "This is not surprising. Here's a guy who told Americans to inject bleach into their bodies, who sent a mob to Capitol Hill. And now I think it's fair to say he stands out as singlehandedly destroying more wealth with his bad decisions than anybody else who has ever lived on this planet"

The stock market is tanking so badly it almost feels like we are being governed by someone who went bankrupt six tim— Oh.

I'm no good with patterns. Can someone help me out here?

Seems like the only island without a Trump Tax is Epstein’s.

So let me get this straight: as he was framing Jeffrey Goldberg of The Atlantic as lowlife scum for accurately reporting on him, Mike Waltz was frantically checking his _19_ other secret, national security-threatening Signal chats to make sure he hadn't accidentally invited any journalists to those?

Again.

The U.S is the wealthiest country in the history of the world. We should not have the highest rate of child poverty of nearly every major country on earth. We should have the lowest.   It's time to end this international embarrassment & create an economy that works for all.

Hope can sneak up from beneath the detritus of the fall. We would do well not to let it pass unnoticed.

Yep

Top GOP Senator Roger Wicker just called for an investigation into Trump officials for sending classified military plans on Signal and lying about it under oath. This is turning into a massive scandal that even Republicans can’t ignore.

Bravo to @jeffreygoldberg.bsky.social for his bravery and journalistic integrity.

Regarding the recent security breach within the DOD, where the hell is Trey Gowdy when we need him?

This aged badly

Circling back on this…

I'm no lawyer, but it seems like discussing war plans in Signal outside a SCIF is maybe just a little bit worse than using a private server to send emails that weren't even marked as classified. But what do I know.

If not obvious: - this was not the first time Signal was used to conduct government business - likely not the first time used to conduct sensitive government business - this violates the Presidential Records Act

People in cybertrucks should not throw stones 👀👀👀

If Pete Hegseth had even a tiny bit of honor and sense of responsibility, then he would hand in his resignation this morning.

This is why when MAGA says it wants to make all of the USA in its own image we have to protect ourselves and our children by saying, "No. No, fucking, no! You crazy, incompetent, crazy loons."

From Col. Schappert: “I spent a good portion of Sunday afternoon responding to emails from here and abroad. It's quite remarkable. All were respectful, appreciative, and a salve to the deep frustration and hurt.” He goes on:

Taking a week off to visit a bucket-list destination was very much a good thing! #travelphotography #visitportugal #madeira danethomasphotography.com/madeira

An NPR investigation uncovered 40,000 vets facing foreclosure due to a VA mistake. A rescue program is helping many of them, but others fear being left out if Congress cuts this new lifeline.

Truer words were never spoken.

"If Lutnick's Democratic predecessor, Gina Raimondo, took such a step -- urging Americans to buy stock in a company led by Joe Biden’s top campaign contributor -- it seems likely that more than a few congressional Republicans would call for her resignation..." www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

Explain to me like I'm a child how the President of the United States can use Executive Orders to abolish a governmental Department established by Congress. Cite your sources and show your work.

LEAVITT: This judge is a Democrat activist. He was appointed by Barack Obama. NBC: He was originally appointed by George W Bush.

It isn’t every day one has the chance to look down 580 meters (>1900 ft.) through a glass floor. #madeira #cabogirãoskywalk #visitportugal

Ask yourself: Why would anyone who wasn’t an asset of the Russian government do this? Why would any decent human being do this?

My mom died in 2006, at 62 years of age. Today would have been her 81st birthday. I miss her, but I’m glad she hasn’t had to experience what has happened since 2016.

Kinda feels like this right now

These are two of the best shots I captured today. Madeira is not flat, and it is very green! #travelphotography #madeira #portugal #boaventura #miradourodolombodospalheiros

His track record speaks for itself. While we continue to resist, we should take comfort in that he is deeply incompetent, not very bright & his policies are hurting even his most devoted supporters. Let's not get in the way of his inevitable self-destruction.

Achieving new levels of geekdom with Duolingo. 😜 I’m still on track with at least a little bit of practice with Spanish, French, Italian, German, and Portuguese every day.
