Every single senator who voted to confirm Hegseth is equally responsible and owns this. Your confirmation served as a stamp of approval and your judgment shouldn't be trusted. This goes for every failure of any official confirmed by the Senate.

Personally, I think it should be front page news for at least a month if a sitting US President is using falsified evidence to try and deny due process to a man who has committed no crime, but that’s just me

any Democratic elected who says they can't win the politics of "should we give Trump the power to disappear innocent people into a concentration camp" has a terminal case of consultant brain and should be ruthlessly hounded from office

We have 2 significant advantages over Germans in the 1930's: 1. We fully understand the cost of their underreaction and complicity 2. We have communication systems that hadn't been dreamed up yet & see in real time what's happening to Kilmar, Rumeysa, Mohsen. We can't squander these advantages.

They're not fascists, they just think we're in a state of exception due to the pollution of the polity and citizen body by undesirable racial elements whose removal is of such paramount importance that it transcends the dictates of the law, justified by their embodiment of the Will of the People.

Sunrise on Omaha Beach. All you fascists are bound to lose.

We traded Europe for a guy that builds concentration camps for profit.

Every chance you get, say “fuck you” to authoritarian demands. One of the regime’s tools is making people believe resistance is futile—that acquiescence is the only option. But especially for those with power and privilege, the most basic, necessary act is to say: FUCK YOU.

Always suspected Newsome was shit but Whitmer is truly disappointing.

Every time I think we’re past the capitulation bullshit, another prominent individual or institution disappoints.

man if only we could have known that electing one of the dumbest, meanest and most corrupt motherfuckers in American history A SECOND TIME would end badly

"I didn't vote for" you did. Sorry. You did. Should have listened to the woke libtards instead of your roided out imaginary friends who told you kids were pooping in kitty litter at school

Salute to all of the geniuses in Silicon Valley, on Wall Street, and in media c-suites who convinced themselves that what the USA needed was an autocrat CEO — and that Donald Trump was that executive. Brilliant, sirs. Just brilliant.

One man just wiped out $10 trillion in wealth, is destroying centuries-old legal protections, and seems determined to unravel humanity’s greatest public health achievement. In 3 months. I don’t know how we get out of this. But if we do, one person can never have that kind of power again.

I know others have said this, but all this tomfoolery could end literally tonight if Congress had 1 ounce of its historical forebears’ gumption

@democrats.org Please wake up and hit him with everything you’ve got.

We’re all him now.

i am fascinated by the outright refusal of people in the professional political commentary class to just consider the possibility that there is no plan and that trump really is a braying idiot with the more acute case of narcissistic personality disorder on record

Every single one in my lifetime has been because of sheer GOP hubris. 'Al Qaeda isn't a serious threat' 'Let the banks police themselves', 'the virus will burn itself out', 'we can grow bananas in Kansas.'

if you write something like this "from the left" in march 2025, you should be strapped to a chair and forced to watch current news footage a la clockwork orange

"There's more to life than being able to buy cheap garbage," sagely intones the man who had a complete mental breakdown from which he has never recovered because he couldn't go to big box stores and chain restaurants for 3 weeks in 2020.

#handsoff Hastings, NY 1500-2000 people estimated. Planned march to the post office was canceled because crowd was way above expectations.

He’s tanking the economy, destroying our standing in the world, depriving women and LGBTQ communities of their fundamental rights, attacking the environment, disappearing legal immigrants, gutting Veteran’s benefits and Social Security. And he’s making you pay for his golf trips while he’s at it.

Who else is going to a #handsoff event?

Have you said thank you once?

it is because they want to impoverish the country! they don’t want high end manufacturing. they want americans working subsistence wages making t shirts and clothes hangers

Americans watching their retirement savings evaporate and the President is hosting a golf tournament with the people who did 9/11.

Here is the top comment on this article: “You are advising responsible honest people who have worked hard, saved all their lives… to scale down their retirement dreams because a one person has decided to destroy the US economy. Why not write an article about how to get rid of the real problem?”

you have to be genuinely stupid as fuck to think american companies are going to respond to tariffs by building factories and moving manufacturing to the US. i don't know how else to say it. you have to be genuinely braindead

Our version of Cronkite declaring stalemate in Vietnam

Trump watched golf instead of attending a ceremony for the return of four fallen soldiers. He calls heroes who died defending our nation suckers and losers. He boasts his Vietnam was avoiding STDs in the 70’s. See the pattern yet?

Normal-world President would probably cancel the weekend golf outing.

Yes, the stock market may be tanking and our national security apparatus has never been more vulnerable and we're on the verge of both economic collapse and war, but it was all worth it to keep pronouns out of email signatures.

Thinking about these guys

I lost my job, my kids have measles, and I had to drive my parents 200 miles to a Social Security office, but at least I know that immigrants are getting sent to torture prisons in El Salvador.

I'm watching CNBC. These anchors are so angry. They really didn't believe he'd do it. They're actually just now, 10 years into this shit, realizing he's a maniac hellbent on revenge and there's no grand plan for the markets. Better late than never but holy shit.
