it’s hard to pity trump voters when their common thread seems to be "I knew he'd fuck people over, I just didn't know I'd be among them"

The State of the Union is FUCKED.

Imagine that. 💰

Just want to reiterate it is NOT NORMAL FOR THE WORLD'S RICHEST MAN WHO HAS NO OFFICIAL GOVERNMENT ROLE TO ADDRESS THE PRESIDENT AND HIS CABINET. And, also, casually joke about accidentally cutting Ebola prevention for a hot minute.

Trump on US imports of Canadian resources: "We don't need their oil. We don't need their lumber." 60% of US oil imports are from Canada. 35% of US lumber imports are from Canada.

If you support this, you’re an awful human being

I think most people are intuitively aware of this but something like the official White House account posting an “ASMR” video of shackled immigrants is not just cruel for its own sake, it’s intentional envelope-pushing to ramp up to desensitization over inhumane detention, camps, and deaths

👇👇👇👏

So don't just disseminate it, @justinbaragona.bsky.social. Make some of the fact that this claim was debunked, on multiple grounds, before Trump picked it up, just like the Gaza condoms. This is a story about Elon causing Trump to tell embarrassing lies, that discredit DOGE.

SCOOP: In an email circulated today by the federal Department of the Interior, the Trump administration has issued a stop-work order for organizations providing legal services, funded by the Office of Refugee Resettlement, to unaccompanied minors entering the United States.

This commission statement refers to people with Autism, ADHD, asthma, auto-immune disease, and chronic illness as a “dire threat to the American people and our way of life”. This is a manifesto against disability. This is the language of eugenics.

NEVER FORGET: Trump Tower was built by illegal immigrants from Poland for $4 an hour, working 12 hour days. Donald Trump was found GUILTY in a conspiracy to defraud these workers of their pay.

This is a program for teenagers with serious disabilities who are finishing high school and transitioning to their next steps in life. Trump just axed it, effective immediately, in the middle of the night, with no notice.

He who rambles on about Hannibal Lecter, Arnold Palmer’s dick size, windmill cancer, and turning Gaza into a real-estate play, and thinks he’s saving the county, should have his head examined.

The Trump administration has just announced that all college financial aid programs, scholarships, prizes, housing, and graduation ceremonies that help Black or Latino students are now considered to be illegal. The Education Department accuses colleges of discriminating against white students.

For all of us who wondered when the lawsuits would start, and are now wondering how we'll ever keep up, a litigation tracker from @justsecurity.org www.justsecurity.org/107087/track...

Pay attention: Trump says “I do see a longterm ownership position” in Gaza for the U.S.. This is the U.S. president saying his country will buy foreign territory whose residents have expressed no such interest in leaving or selling.

Between unprovoked and foolish trade wars, threatening our allies, eliminating foreign aid, gutting our civil service, preparing to weaken the intel community and FBI, placing inexperienced clowns in key nat sec positions, and supporting our enemies’s agenda, we are weaker by far today than on 1/19.

Congressional Democrat should be acting like a national emergency is at hand…because it is.

Donald Trump, who is credibly accused of sexually assaulting children, changes the law to protect those who sexually assault children. Everything Donald Trump does protects people like him.

No one's blaming Democrats for causing this crisis, but yes, many of them are failing to meet this moment. One Democratic senator could bring the chamber to a halt. House Dems can go to fed agencies being gutted by Musk with cameras in tow. Governors can push back. State AGs can bring lawsuits.

what Musk is doing is as close to the government being taken over by a hostile foreign power in our lifetimes, the coverage should reflect that

If you are a government worker DO NOT TAKE THE RESIGNATION OFFER! Congress has NOT appropriated the money to do that, and that asshole is a GDMF LIAR! Keep your job, make them fire you, and then fight like hell.

67 people died in the Potomac and he ran to the first camera he could find to blame Black people for their demise. I'll never understand how 77 million people saw this ghoulish behavior and said "that represents me."

Warren: "He can stand there, smile at you and say, 'anybody can vaccinate their kids who wants to,' but he literally could bankrupt the vaccines manufacturers with the power he will have. And since he's got a financial incentive to do that, we cannot trust him in that job."

The story behind RFK Jr. in Samoa's measles crisis has never been reported. He wasn't there to spread misinformation about vaccines (though he did). He wanted to study a "natural experiment" of unvaccinated kids. “I can’t imagine anything less ethical or more cruel.” www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

Of course ending birthright citizenship is blatantly unconstitutional. So is a third term in office. But I thought the same thing about presidential criminal immunity and holding office after inciting an insurrection. The obvious is not so obvious anymore.

Amazing to see the truth spelled out so clearly by NYT after elex: "no American troops at war...murders are way down, illegal immigration...has fallen...unemployment is near its historic best. Domestic energy production is higher..." www.nytimes.com/2025/01/05/u... Confirms these broader points:

“Imagine being such a callous person that you would demand an apology from someone asking you to show mercy to your fellow man. President Trump is a disgrace,” Sara McPherson Horle writes in a letter to The Times. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/23/o...

Here's more of your DAILY reminder of "we fucking TOLD YOU SO," you maga morons.

In her first week, Biden FTC Chair Lina Khan pledged to "protect the public from corporate abuse." In his first week, Trump FTC Chair Andrew Ferguson announced that "DEI is over" at the agency. One agenda to protect people. The other to distract from corporate plunder.

Remember: Almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or sought better lives for themselves and their descendants. Politicians who stoke fear and hatred over immigration want you to forget this. Do not.

How could a Native American not have birthright citizenship?

In 2022, one in four U.S. children had at least one immigrant parent. More than four million U.S. citizens under the age of 18 lived with an undocumented parent. A crisis of catastrophic proportions is looming for these innocent children whose families have fled violence and poverty — seeking…

RFK Jr. is here b/c no one held him accountable for Samoa DC MAGA are here because no one held them accountable for 1/6 SCOTUS is here b/c no one held them accountable for bribery 47 is here b/c no one held him accountable for treason Democracy is sinking into a sea of criminal privilege Enough!

Snoop may be the biggest sell-out of all time.

Netanyahu is the worst...

When a liberal area suffers a climate change disaster, Republicans say “God is punishing them.” When a conservative area suffers a climate change disaster, Republicans say “Democrats control weather machines.” Must be hard going through life as a full-blown idiot.

Republicans want to reverse this. Why do people vote against their best interests?

I don’t think we need the updates on looting arrests in the fires. A couple dozen, aka very few. The updates feed the fiction that the poor are the predators. The anti-social behavior right now is that of the President-elect, the Fox hosts cracking jokes, the “influencers” expressing glee.

My Co-founder Josh Weinsch took this photo of his little daughter’s bike, which was in their driveway when they evacuated. Their neighborhood was vaporized.

Everyone that donated their $1million to the inauguration should donate the same amount for fire victim aid and recovery. They clearly have more than enough money to do so

Wiping out the “deep state” — also known as “competent professionals who understand the job” — at the National Security Council surely won’t lead to anything bad happening
