Please stop repeating that he is deporting people. He is kidnapping them and trafficking them into a gulag in the fucking jungle. We don’t do that to anyone, much less someone whose only “crime” is being undocumented. We don’t do that to fucking murderers for fucks sake.

When it comes to people with autism, particularly children, RFK Jr wants to make it easier for parents and quack doctors to "experiment" and force dangerous and unproven treatments on them. And he wants to make it harder or outright illegal to counter disinformation that harms this industry.

NEW: Mississippi Gov. Tate Reeves has declared April 2025 as Confederate Heritage Month. He did so at the behest of the Sons of Confederate Veterans, a neo-Confederate organization that espouses “Lost Cause” ideology, which whitewashes the role of slavery in the Civil War. 🧵

See this is what I mean. Mississippi is a state with a 40% Black population. African American candidate Mike Espy garnered nearly 45% of the vote in the 2020 General Election for the U.S. Senate. Why isn’t there a 10 yr Dem plan for organizing Mississippi? Why concede the state w/a 40% Black pop?

The Democrats are too fucking old and I don’t just mean the calendar age of so many in leadership. The party’s approach to how to be a party is fucking old. It’s like they upgraded in 1992 and have barely done anything since. It’s a party that listens to Carville and Axelrod. That’s a problem.

If Hegseth resigns and we get an Acting Secretary of Defense, it'll be the eighth time we've had one. One came under Nixon, a second under GHW Bush. And then we had five under Trump.

When Obama took office in 2009, Bush was at 75 percent approval among Republicans. Nonetheless, party leaders made an effort to distance the GOP from him and mostly succeeded in a remarkably short time. If things go the way they seem to be headed with Trump, they can't be allowed to do this again.

The Pentagon has collapsed into a state of complete disarray under the failed leadership of Pete Hegseth. Signal scandals, multiple leaks, deceptions, and infighting have culminated to throw the Pentagon into a state of utter chaos. All this according to former top spokesperson…

The entire tourism industry in the US is fucked, relatedly, which is one good reason to expect a recession even if Trump manages to back off his trade war (which thus far he appears unwilling to).

Holy cow, "Signalgate" not only wasn't a one-time-thing, as many figured, it wasn't even the worst information security violation Hegseth did that week. In a different group chat he shared different operational details with his wife, brother, and lawyer, who are now surely foreign intel targets.

This line is catching on among the conservative influencers: unless SCOTUS backs down, Trump will be forced to suspend the constitution and declare the US a dictatorship, and it'll be all their fault.
