"He's a short-term thinker who kind of monkey branches..." @underthedesknews.bsky.social on Trump's plans to make English the official language. "This is something he's doing as a distraction... to try to get people to not pay attention to the deeply unconstitutional and unpopular things he does ."

"He wants them to resign." Paul Butler on Acting US Attorney Ed Martin demoting several prosecutors investigating J6 and the Proud Boys. "...Trump is getting rid of everybody who has any expertise on public corruption so that that the administration won't be held accountable."

"If the GOP could pull Trump’s dick out of their mouths long enough for the oxygen to return to their brains, they might see how batshit crazy it is to run a govt like this... But that would require a spine and these Republicans have the collective courage of a baby deer caught in a 6-lane highway."

This is not an unimportant question. Remember Trump's social media plea on January 12 for someone to "SAVE RUDY!!!"?Evidently someone did.

A set of countries hates us; another is bewildered/dismayed/horrified; a third group is laughing at us; and the last group is working the angles to fleece us by flattering the weak-minded senile dope who occasionally shows up at the White House to sign stuff. NOBODY respects us.

If you’re checking X to receive your HR notifications, please raise your hand. What. The. Actual. Fuck?!

Trump’s new acting CFPB director in charge of reigning in predatory financial institutions is literally promoting a predatory payday lender. Because something something working class champions.

If you feel this way, you're not along. And together, we're going to keep the Republic. Pass it on.

The United States just voted against a United Nations resolution condemning Russia for invading Ukraine. The US sided with Vladimir Putin, Kim Jong Un, and the Grand Ayatollah of Iran.

We aren’t yet in a constitutional crisis but the Trump administration is certainly hinting towards one. Here's what could happen if the administration defies court orders.

The United States is now in a constitutional crisis!!

this week's cover is on point ht: @jamiegangel.bsky.social

Wow! So 1+1 really does equal 2. The Texas measles outbreak is hitting the area with the highest vaccine exemption rates. Shocking—if you ignore science.

More possible Ed Martin Jr problems. @joshmarshalll.bsky.social has the scoop. Big, Big Scandal Brewing at DC US Attys Office talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/big-b...

Big Balls has veto power over No Balls.

Few people in American politics have ever exhibited less moral clarity than Nikki Haley has since 2016.

A newfound RESPECT for @maddow.msnbc.com for keeping it real about what’s going on at MSNBC and how she really feels about it. She didn’t have to say this, but I’m so glad she did. Take 2 minutes… (1 of 2)

North Dakota Republicans have introduced legislation to declare themselves a Christian nationalist state by “acknowledging the Kingship of Jesus Christ.” This is a direct challenge to the Constitution.

Trump just terminated the Chair of the Kennedy Center and has installed himself as the new chair. He says he will now be dictating the institution’s “art and culture” and says it “must reflect” what he chooses.

President Xi didn’t even bother to fake giving him something. Trump just quietly surrendered in the dead of night. #FakeTariffs

Does “Golden Age” refer to a time when planes keep crashing, eggs cost $10–15 a dozen, the U.S. is being booed and protested by all our allies, workers are losing their jobs, and Americans’ personal data is being rummaged through by unelected oligarchs and their strange crew of 20-something incels?

I seriously don’t know this country anymore. Trump’s America: Where diplomacy gets evicted.

BREAKING: Federal judge blocks Elon Musk’s DOGE access to critical Treasury payment system AND demands the destruction of the information they stole!!!
