"If you were sitting on a train from London to Paris and a North Korean ballistic missile hit that train, you would not stop reading about it for weeks." Well, that just happened in Ukraine, and you've heard about it now. @caolanrob.bsky.social joins @timmiller.bsky.social:

DONAKD J. TRUMP

DONAKD

I sure would love to see all the democrats in Congress on the Capitol steps calling for impeachment in one voice. I know we can't do it without republican votes, but it sure would be nice to see a loud, unified message. I'll be calling my reps today and asking them to please do this. Join me.

We sent out 1,000 letters in less than an hour, let's get another thousand before 11:30. Tell your members of Congress Trump must be impeached: actionnetwork.org/letters/tell...

The U.S. Senate is currently considering a budget reconciliation bill that quietly includes language that could devastate our public lands. It would: - Make over 250 million acres of public land eligible for sale - Mandate the sale of at least 2 million acres of Forest Service and BLM land

Good gawd. What a disgrace he is.

I’ve been in politics for over a half-century. I’ve watched as corporations and the super-rich flooded D.C. with campaign cash and ransacked our system. It won't be easy, but here’s how we break the corporate oligarchy and return power to the people. https://youtu.be/sP0pRIBRcDk?si=o8uynfvuoVhcX7p8

These ICE goons are completely out of control. Arresting US Citizens, elected officials, and terrorizing our communities. Comptroller Lander was simply asking for the warrant.

This is not normal. A sitting president refusing to call the governor of a state after two elected officials were shot, one fatally, is beyond words. A typical president, regardless of politics, would pick up the phone. Offer condolences.

LOVE THIS

Don’t fall for Trump’s head fake. He is still targeting farmworkers.

Oh yeah!

No Kings Day” protest in West Palm Beach, Florida — miles from Mar-a-Lago!

She’s got that right, boy howdy!

Bring on the tear gas and rubber bullets this is intolerable!

Tanks in DC Troops in LA. A military parade on his birthday. Trump is done pretending. This is what authoritarianism looks like in America. My latest on why we must speak out now — before silence becomes complicity. adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/authoritar...

Instead of using this money to fund, say, the National Weather Service right before hurricane season, they're using it to send Marines to Los Angeles. THIS is waste and abuse.

CNN reporter Jason Carroll was detained on live TV and his security team arrested in Los Angeles. Is this democracy, press freedom, free speech?

Gavin Newsom just went off on Trump “You sent your troops here without fuel, food, water or a place to sleep. Here they are — being forced to sleep on the floor, piled on top of one another.”

Trump promised to deport violent criminals. Instead, he deported a 4-year-old cancer patient. Now he’s fueling chaos again. Don’t give him what he wants. If you’re showing up to protest with violence in L.A.—go the fuck home. Peaceful protesters have a case. Let them be heard.

NEVER TRUMP #NOKINGS #NOKINGS NEVER TRUMP NEVER TRUMP #NOKINGS #NOKINGS NEVER TRUMP NEVER TRUMP #NOKINGS #NOKINGS NEVER TRUMP

I agree, but I think one reason politicians are staying away from LA is that they don't want to complicate life for Newsom or Bass - as a courtesy - but more, they don't want to be on camera when some jackass burns a car or waves a Palestinian flag behind them.

Newsom: "Arrest me. Let's just get it over with, tough guy. I don't give a damn ... Tom, arrest me. Let's go."

Newsom addresses Trump directly: "Where's your decency, Mr President? Stop ... it's immoral. You're creating the conditions that you claim you're solving."

“Anyone”

The extra-extreme members of the House Budget Committee voted "present" tonight so that the Medicaid-cuts-to-fund-tax-giveaways-for-the-rich bill could pass out of committee 17-16. Tomorrow, flood Capitol Hill switchboards to voice your opposition to this monstrosity. 202-224-3121.

Hurricane season starts June 1 and if you live in a Gulf state, you need to watch this. It’s worse than you might think. The few employees still left at FEMA admit: they are not prepared. Not enough staff. Not enough supplies. Not enough leadership. Plan accordingly.

Secretary Noem wouldn’t even look at the doctored evidence Trump used to deport a Maryland man to a death camp. If they’ll lie to justify that, they’ll lie to lock anyone up. We’re not going away. We’re bringing the truth to light.

You got that right, You got that right, boy howdy!

Everyone should say no to this terrible trump birthday parade idea: actionnetwork.org/letters/tell...

you can say 'Merry Christmas' again. you just can't have any presents
