"We cannot have a viable political system that relies on extraordinarily brave people—because there aren’t enough of them." Don't underestimate the intimidation factor in Republican acquiescence.

This is huge! Trump is ramming his agenda through now, so he can’t be stopped later—shock & awe. But look at these approval numbers—he’s underwater on our major issues. Public opinion is against Trump & his policies—his approval rating is historically low. It’s only going to get worse… MUCH worse.

It really is that simple: if you want people to stop calling your party a bunch of Nazis, then your party leaders should stop doing Nazi things like the Sieg Heil. Bannon, today.

Fuck you, Merrick Garland, for never treating criminals like criminals. For not having the balls to wield the power of US Law, given to you by POTUS, and allowing this chance for those criminals to now make our laws. Fuck. You.

So if you criticize Elon Musk, Trump’s DOJ will send you this letter. Members of Congress must have the right to forcefully oppose the Trump Administration. I will not be silenced.

Remember when I said Elon Musk was losing his mind and people attacked me for it after media picked it up? As a Musk biographer I feel fine about my statement because I have published links to all the reporting substantiating my contention. This new video can certainly be tossed on top of all that.

This is how Mitch McConnell should be remembered: Without him, there’s no President Trump right now—he had the chance to convict during impeachment and end it, but he didn’t. Without him, there’s no stacked conservative Supreme Court—you’d have more rights today.

You can try to legislate us out of existence, but we are still here. You can strip away our rights, but you will never take our dignity. You can spread your hatred, but you will never break our resolve. BUT HEAR THIS LOUD AND CLEAR MOTHERFUCKERS: WE WILL NOT GO QUIETLY!!!

Trump: "Russia attacked. But they shouldn't have let them attack. Bc they wouldn't have attacked if you had people that knew what they were doing. Biden is a very dumb man...I said, ' you know what? This guy's gonna cause a war.' That's what happened. Putin could've been talked out of that so easy."

The head of France's far-right party canceled the speech he was supposed to give at CPAC today, saying he was canceling because of what he himself called Steve Bannon's "gesture that referenced nazi ideology": www.rfi.fr/fr/france/20...

I am the great-grandson of a man who led his family out of the shtetl to a strange land in search of a better life. I am the grandson of the three-year-old boy on that journey. As you know, my name is Marc, but my Hebrew name is Elhanan—after the warrior in David’s army who slew a powerful giant.

Tomorrow in the NYT: I voted for Donald Trump because I hate the people he hates and wanted to see them suffer. Now that I am suffering, why can’t you find it in your heart to be sympathetic? RUDE

Besides the bad faith and epic corruption evidenced by the letter to @robertgarcia.bsky.social from this Trump waterboy, it is “whom you call a dick,” not “who you call a dick.” Grammar counts, you unctuous toady of the wannabe mob boss WHOM you serve.

I’m in a few groups for women in aviation and I haven’t seen this much sadness and despair in many years. Being a female flyer has never been a walk in the park but things were getting better. Now all of a sudden things are getting worse again, especially for our sisters in the US.

So the US gov thinks that Zelenskyy is insufficiently legitimate to take part in peace talks, but at the same time sufficiently legitimate to sign an agreement on mineral resources? How does this work?

The GOP convicted felon has launched a war on the American people & our constitution. We have guardrails to stop a rogue president. But are our lawmakers? Happy to be part of it & obey, in the foolish belief that THEY will be spared. Wait for the final irony. #Opposition #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory
