83%. You’d think elected Democrats might make much of this, right? Hold a rally and presser on the steps of Congress, the backlit Capitol a stalwart reminder of violent defilement in Trump’s name? Unpunished by pardons? Naw. They continued to talk about midterms.

Per @adamschiff.com: “Donald Trump promised to let Elon Musk self-police his conflicts of interest. The result? Those investigating his companies have been fired. Cases against his companies have been dismissed. “The corrupt self-dealing is staggering.”

Everything is normalized, and #NormalizationFatigue will be our undoing. Stay alert. And do not let anyone tell you to calm down.

An unelected private citizen whose even peripheral participation in our governance - let alone decision-making role in critical policy execution - was never confirmed by Congressional consensus. And is now quite literally in charge of fucking everything. And fucking everything up.

Since it's a steep fall for the beneficiaries of Trump's tax policy, maybe this will draw more attention than people renting chickens to hoard eggs (yes, that's happening).

What a fucked-up framing from the #BrokenPost. Trump is surrendering Ukraine and the West to Putin but here the burden is on Zelensky to "salvage his relationship." Can Zelensky salvage his relationship with Trump and save Ukraine? wapo.st/4it7ZS3

With his zombie stares, jet-lagged self-presentation, Rubio has gone from Stockholm Syndrome victim to rudderless cipher: untethered from all prior core values, a cloned bot-like emissary from Mar a Lago Ville, devoid of genuine commitment. Wait til Putin makes him water (bottle) boy.

@maddow.msnbc.com Could your (ever powerful) show post the Friday-aired footage of the town hall wherein an impassioned citizen made an entreaty to follow in the footsteps of Carter and Lewis? We need to inspire Democrats as much as we must shame Republicans. Gratitude for an extraordinary week.

A vicious conspiracist take offered in a vicious, threatening fashion. No surprise to anyone. His own sense of vendetta matches his snarling boss's. He will likely go after media with everything he's got.

Any middle school student knows enough about world history to eschew tossing off "big beautiful ocean between" as a safeguard against international participation in conflict. He doesn't even try to self-present as knowledgeable.

The GOP cowers daily because we live in a post-Rusty Bowers world. Remember how MAGA terrorized Bowers in his AZ home? Where he housed his terminally ill daughter? Has media forgotten? Anyone who crosses them is publicly humiliated and harassed. Musk vows to primary ($$) anyone in non-compliance.

"No more 'woke' arts. Why should music, dance, drama have to honor LGBTQ+ artists? Who are Ailey, Bernstein, Williams, Robbins, Fierstein, Ashton, Coward, Bourne, Copland, Kushner, Britten, Sondheim, Vogel anyway. Who needs Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture for July 4th?"

When one metamorphizes from The Gollum into a cloned Cruise to achieve a mission that's (hopefully) impossible. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

The most powerful man in America. Unelected, yet given a singular, defining role in our governance without approval by congressional consensus. Look at who he is: a stammering collection of eccentric tics and narcissistic bravado. A megalomaniacal egotist who impregnates handmaids to clone himself.

Crockett: "Down in Alabama, who's broke. Down in Louisiana, who's broke. I can go through pretty much the entire south and tell you that they're broke and rely on a lot of welfare from the government. To be perfectly honest, it is tax dollars from these big blue states...we're in the find out phase"

The United States of America, as anyone once knew it, is over. That nation's identity may resurface via a corrected course. But the country we knew, believed in, and many defended with their lives, has ended. Do not let anyone euphemize the historic descent that this confirmed cabinet illustrates.
