We keep seeing polls based on whatever sample sizes about opinions sliding backwards, but I gotta say, seeing the sheer amt of actual real life human beings out in the streets today for our right to exist, to be healthy, to read, for to be free etc etc etc is letting the hope in my chest burn again

A Democratic Mayor arrested. A Democratic Congresswoman indicted. A Democratic Senator tackled and detained. A Democratic State Representative killed. A Democratic State Representative in critical condition. We can all see where this is going.

With the tragic assassination of a Minnesota Democratic leader, I’m going to underline this point again.

We had a deal. All of the current violence is because Trump pulled us out of the deal.

Man I don’t want to get conspiratorial but a thought I can’t shake is that just like we can’t trust that people presenting themselves as law enforcement are law enforcement, can we trust that a violent person who’s said to have been impersonating law enforcement isn’t law enforcement?

I would like my state, every state, to mandate badges, name plates, no masks, for all law enforcement in the state. And if federal agents try to break the mandate, arrest them, then let the courts sort it out.

To those who still somehow say you’re overreacting to say we are far past the point of historic crisis, go back to summer 2024 and say that in less than a year the president of the United States would be deploying the literal Marines on American soil to deal with and intimidate his political enemies

I just keep going back to the under reaction when Trump pardoned over a thousand violent extremists as one of his first acts as President.

Remember how conservatives and GOP freaked about Jade Helm military exercise in TX during Obama years, creating bogus conspiracy narratives? “It’s a military police state!” they screamed. “They’re gonna take over Texas! We need 2A to prevent tyranny!” Same folks are silent now. That’s a tell.

Things could get very ugly very quickly. And folks like Senator Cassidy, who allowed this to happen, have a unique responsibility to try and stop it—if that’s even possible at this juncture.

If it wasn't for Trump tearing the Iran deal, we wouldn't be in this war. We're all clear on that, yes?

The joke of the weekend is going to be a man who was so scared that he had his daddy keep him from having to fight in a war...and is now having a military parade to try and convince people that he is brave. #BoneSpurs

Remember, we had a diplomatic resolution to the Iran nuclear issue, thanks to the JCPOA that Obama put in place after years of hard work, but then President Spiteful Shithead withdrew the U.S. from the pact in 2018 and everything fell apart. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

Genetic material shed by tumors can be detected in the bloodstream three years before cancer diagnosis, according to a study led by investigators at Johns Hopkins University. That study was made possible with federal funding. Now, many studies like this are canceled. hub.jhu.edu/2025/06/04/...

Also cannot be emphasized enough: Barack Obama successfully negotiated the shutdown of Iran's nuclear program. It exists today because Trump deliberately tore up that agreement. The deaths happening right now can be laid at his door.

Thinking again about this tonight. We are a deeply unserious country with a deeply unserious press corps, which is why we are deeply in serious trouble both domestically & internationally right now.

This is all massively unpopular, and unlike some other unpopular stuff is neither a Trump or (for the most part) a GOP media priority. A handful of GOP Senators could put an end to it any time they want.

As I have written many times, Hollywood is the most ruthless center of American capitalism you can imagine, where every TV show is a startup with a burn rate in the millions per week and SIX WEEKS to prove it can succeed. Until private equity moved in to pillage it, it was cold-bloodedly pragmatic.
