Sadistic Personality Disorder NEVER exists in isolation. It's ALWAYS accompanied by Sociopathy/Psychopathy (ASPD).

I was going to try to post all of tonight's bad news but instead, here's my friend @laurakumin.bsky.social's photo of a great ad at a Washington, D.C. bus shelter in front of our neighborhood's beloved Comet Pizza. And don't miss the small print: "Paid for by the Government of Canada."😁

SEEMS BAD

Each year on March 25 we commemorate the anniversary of the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire. This tragic event took the lives of 146 mostly young, immigrant women workers in 1911.

Lauren Boebert: “Accountability is the most important part.” Hold Pete Hegseth, Tulsi Gabbard, John Ratcliffe, etc. accountable then, Gropert. 🤦‍♀️

"Every single state in this country is a border state," FBI Director Kash Patel in Senate testimony today says.

Three Trump Cabinet members refused to give a judge info about the Venezuelan deportations, citing national security and foreign relations concerns.

Sen. Mark Warner: "Putting aside for a moment that classified information should never be discussed over an unclassified system, it's also just mind boggling to me that all these senior folks were on this line, and nobody bothered even check." "Security hygiene 101: Who are all the names?"

I was told I was overreacting. Now they’re about to fire 83,000 people from the VA. A third of whom are veterans themselves.

I cannot get over the cruelty of deporting people who grew up in America, and were taught about the Boston Tea Party and the civil rights movement, because they got arrested at a protest.

Trump to withdraw the US from group Investigating Russia’s leadership for crimes committed against Ukrainians. Meanwhile Russia is now using drones to hunt children for sport. “We saw the drone and ran. My friend hid at home, another ran straight—then the drone dropped a bomb.” #EndImpunity

US opposition politicians @aoc.bsky.social and @sanders.senate.gov gathered 86,000 people within a three day period in Arizona, Colorado, and Nevada. #3E #EndOligarchy

The senate is now voting on the confirmation of Christopher Landau for Deputy Secretary at the State Dept, who's promoted the destruction of USAID. Amy Klobuchar just voted yes.

As long as we're talking about shitty-to-non-existent OPSEC, I'd just like to also point out that probably most of the White House is now using Starlink for their internet and comms, which almost definitely has an abundance of security holes for foreign adversaries to exploit.

We need supercharged financial regulations, from bank accounts to cryptocurrency, because I am very tired. Call it the Get Off My Lawn Act.

Kristi Noem, making state secrets declaration: We can't officially acknowledge which planes we used to fly people to be tortured. Trump, confirming that the planes in video were the ones used to send people to be tortured. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

BREAKING: Trump administration invokes “state secrets privilege” over questions from Chief Judge Boasberg into whether the government violated the classwide TRO blocking removals under Trump’s Alien Enemies Act proclamation. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

“This is what happens when you fill a government with all of the most unqualified people ever to hold their roles.”

One thing that most people are missing in the group text scandal: The Trump officials don’t appear clear on what *exactly* Trump approved, which is a huge problem in using military force. Stephen Miller says “as I heard it … green light.” 😱😬 www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/six-short-...

it seems to me that he's not "expanded the agenda," the emphasis on legal immigrants was there from the start

Hahahahahahaha 🤣

Trump complaining that he doesn’t like a painting done of him that’s hanging in the Colorado capitol building is an all-timer. Feels like a b-plot on Parks and Rec, if the show was about fascism.

In your entire life could you imagine this kind of answer from a prominent U.S. official?

Swap German for Russian, and you have the appeasement argument for handing over chunks of Czechoslovakia to Hitler in 1938.

People having "fun" denouncing Witkoff for "not understanding the situation" miss the point. He's not an analyst or a moderator. He doesn't care about the facts. He's a political hitman out to impose a particular deal, and he'll say what he needs to set up and justify it.

Figured I’d hop on here today for the 15th anniversary of the Affordable Care Act. With everything going on right now, it’s easy to feel like regular folks can’t make a difference – but the ACA is a reminder that change is possible when we fight for progress.

'No Republican willing to stand up': 1,000 Montanans outraged as GOP reps no show town hall https://twp.ai/1W2EBS

Show this to Witkoff who thinks Putler is a good man. 🤮

How quickly they went from, “Tariffs will be a bonanza for our country, resulting in a golden age of prosperity,” to, “Paying higher prices and tolerating shrunken 401(k)s is patriotic.” Economic nationalism is a snare and a delusion. People should stop falling for it.

this is always, always the tell “saving money” can only come in the form of ripping benefits away from the poor, never collecting from the rich what they owe us IRS cuts are exactly the opposite of government efficiency, and exactly the point of the kleptocracy

IRS close to finalizing data-sharing agreement with ICE, sources say The IRS would be able to check names against its confidential databases. abcnews.go.com/Politics/irs...

Last night, the President issued a memorandum titled “Preventing Abuses of the Legal System and Federal Court,” appearing to target those who represent clients in matters adverse to the federal government and specifically targeting Marc Elias*, a prominent attorney and voting rights champion.

Trump is now demanding that the Governor of Maine apologize and “never” challenge him again or else the entire state will face consequences.

We will just die in silence': US aid cuts hit Ethiopia’s fragile Tigray region #USAID #Tigray #Ethiopia apnews.com/article/ethi...

BREAKING: The IRS is close to reaching a data-sharing agreement with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, authorizing immigration officials to use tax data to track and locate individuals SUSPECTED of being in the country illegally. Tax information — heretofore confidential — will now…

AOC: Do you know which coloradans did vote to cut medicare and jack up health care cost? Every single Republican representative from Colorado. Don't you worry, I was just at Gabe Evans' district, and 11,000 of his constituents would like a word

Perhaps the US Senate’s Judiciary committee’s meeting next week on online “censorship” should focus on how Musk is wielding X to support authoritarian projects around the world — silencing voices of dissent at the behest of oppressive governments?

“Most of the men were Venezuelans the Trump Administration had designated as gang members and deported, with little or no due process.” And, as it turns out, none of the Venezuelans were gang members. Trump just blatantly lied about that to have them deported. Because he’s a monster.

Jesus christ. These are crimes against humanity. No one even cares.

This means we are in a constitutional crisis: “Trump admin says it is not complying with S.F. judge’s order to return workers to their jobs” www.sfchronicle.com/politics/art...
