I'd like it if the U.S. remains at least somewhat democratic. American living abroad.

Would you take a Tesla if it was gifted to you? What a deplorable!

No, but if you’re looking for one, I am aware of a guy you work with that was indicted four times and convicted of thirty-four felonies.

Our look at how the Trump administration is systematically dismantling the government teams that have stopped Russia, China, Iran, North Korea, and others from meddling in US elections: www.nytimes.com/2025/02/20/b... With @julianbarnes.bsky.social @stevenleemyers.bsky.social

How many big lies can Chief Gaslighter spew out and repeat ad nauseam today?

Exclusive: Almost 90% of Japanese companies see Trump as bad for business, Reuters survey shows - www.reuters.com/world/japan/...

Tyranny requires your fear, your silence, and your compliance. Democracy requires your courage.

I wonder why no previous president used a retroactive line-item veto before Chief Gaslighter.

If you’re looking for villains in the erosion of democracy, remember that the corporate media spent weeks obsessing over Joe Biden’s choice of footwear, but when Donald Trump declared that he’s above the law they basically shrugged and moved on.

Trump's true love.

Marbury v Madison is a seminal case from 1803 that holds that the federal courts must determine the constitutionality of the actions of the other two branches of government. Hope that helps, Stephen.

I wonder what happened.

Just awful: One of the inspector generals that Trump fired was examining Elon Musk's failures to meet reporting protocol designed to safeguard national security as a major recipient of Pentagon contracts. It's time to follow up on that. New piece from me: newrepublic.com/article/1913...

NEVER FORGET: Senator Lindsey Graham calls Social Security and Medicare "ENTITLEMENTS" (THEY'RE EARNED BENEFITS) & wants to cut them because he doesn't NEED them. Lindsey Graham is the EPITOME of ENTITLED. When his sister NEEDED his parents Survivor Benefits he didn't say "no, we don't want them."😡

get every single one of these people out of leadership and put them on a farm somewhere i don’t give a shit www.msnbc.com/jonathan-cap...

This is your daily reminder that this really did happen.

1. “Land for peace” sounds nice, but the president of Russia isn’t fighting for land. Putin is fighting to destroy Ukraine as a nation. When the next U.S. president takes office he will therefore face the same choices : help Putin win, or help him lose. www.theatlantic.com/internationa...
