You heard the sob, draw the papers up GOP!

Regardless of anything else about the Wisconsin race, it's just a relief to learn that money can't always buy elections

THE MAGA DELUSION “MAGA supporters do not arrive at their beliefs through critical thinking. They start with conclusions and then work backward. When presented with contradictory evidence, they do not engage with it. They reject the source outright.” therationalleague.substack.com/p/the-maga-d...

#SlavaUkraini Follow me here: electroboyusa.bsky.social and let's get a huge number of "reposts" -- those are critical -- and a giant number of "likes" and I will get this to the Ukrainian embassy in Washington, D.C. -- directly to Oksana Markarova -- the Ukrainian Ambassador to the United States!

Just in last 72 hours: *Trump declares Biden pardons invalid *Border czar vows to ignore judges *Admin defies court on deportations *Press sec shrugs On pod, legal scholar Matt Seligman brilliantly explains how we're on precipice of major escalation in lawlessness: newrepublic.com/article/1928...

A major reason that cryptocurrencies like bitcoin have never taken hold in the US as anything other than speculative assets (that’s what economists call casino chips) is that we already had a stable, well-regulated currency and banking system. But, you know, whatever. www.wsj.com/finance/curr...

This. Full stop

It's not a debate -- it's a farce

I have lived in authoritarianism before, and participated in a popular movement against it. My political voice was born in it. I was just talking to a friend - this moment is *triggering* because it feels like so few people are reacting on the magnitude of what I know is coming.

POOF! Tim Parlatore is now a Navy Commander! No need to take any tests or earn it or anything. What a slap in the face to actual Commanders.

BREAKING: Veterans gathered today in North Carolina to protest Republican Representative Brad Knott who has refused to host a town hall in his district due to fear of being protested. This is huge.

✅ Yes, the Arlington National Cemetery website removed links to webpages about Black, Hispanic and female veterans buried at the site.

Hey @schumer.senate.gov: When Trump is congratulating you for “doing the right thing,” you can be damn sure you’re doing the WRONG thing.

Our country has had enough of the abuse of power of Donald Trump. Our country is uniting - and our coalition is growing. Together we stand with @indivisible.org , Women’s March, @polrev.bsky.social @voicesofflorida.bsky.social in a UNITED nationwide mobilization …with a special event in DC.

This is our future if you do not contact your Senate and tell them to VOTE NO on the CR and the Funding Bill! 5calls.org #revolution2025

Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House. We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication. They own what happens next.

Two Republican senators told me tonight this vote shows they can execute the same strategy again — cut Democrats out of the negotiations on a gov’t funding bill, pass it thru the House, and expect Senate Dems to back down and not filibuster it. “We liked it over here,” one said.

TIME TO RESIGN

The libertarian critique of democracy didn’t just fail—it became the blueprint for the next authoritarian state. Musk. Thiel. Yarvin. Srinivasan. They’re not debating democracy. They’re replacing it.

"Inside the newly created Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), teams of young tech operatives are systematically dismantling democratic institutions and replacing them with proprietary artificial intelligence systems. Civil servants who raise legal objections are being removed."

Chuck Schumer, John Fetterman, Kirsten Gillibrand, Maggie Hassan, Gary Peters, Angus King, Catherine Cortez Masto, Jean Shaheen, Brian Schatz, & Dick Durbin The Dems who refused to use the only leverage they have. Let it be known.

A new era of government censorship has begun. It started with the silencing of scientific speech, when the admin blocked release of research on bird flu. But MAGA has also cracked down on other wrongthink—on race, geography (!), and of course Trump himself www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

Judge Howell likens Trump's executive order targeting Perkins Coie to a "blizzard" blowing across the legal profession to "intimidate" lawyers and chill them from "representing clients whom the President does not wish to have access to legal counsel."

Why is this not covered by the press?

CEOs attending a conference said in a flash poll that the stock market would have to fall 30% before they would openly criticize fOTUS. Why? One part greed: they’re happy to trade democracy for deregulation & lower taxes. And one part fear: they’re afraid of him. www.wsj.com/business/ceo...

Trump on violence against Tesla: "Domestic terrorism" Trump on violence against Capitol police officers: "A day of love"

Trump is destroying the Department of Education. As a former teacher, it angers me that a man who thinks nuking a hurricane can change its course will force children to grow up to be as fucking stupid as he is. #ProudBlue #TrumpisaNationalDisgrace #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice #TrumpIsARussianAsset

Today EPA chief Lee Zeldin announced that the agency is rolling back 31 regulations. He's taking aim at mercury, soot, and toxic pollution restrictions, and federal protection of wetlands. The EPA will also rewrite rules limiting pollution from fossil-fuel plants and cars, and more.
