If you’re cheering for a South African sociopath to fuck over US military veterans then you should probably stop with that America first bullshit.

Oof! Brian hit the nail on the head!

The constant dynamic in Trump 1.0 was people in the admin telling Trump “you shouldn’t do that;” sometimes that was because it would be politically dicey, or illegal or violate vital norms. But sometimes it was just because it was a very very stupid idea that would blow up in everyone’s face.

There’s something happening in this country.

There have never been kings in America. The monarchy doesn't start now.

Thank GOODNESS for the Judiciary Branch and for THOSE Biden appointments. BUT even the non-Biden Republican judges are coming through for the PEOPLE. As Maine Governor, Janet Mills said to Donald Trump himself today when he tried and failed to bully her: SEE YOU IN COURT BRAVO! NEVER GIVE UP HOPE!🙏

Governor Janet Mills, effectively told Trump, “I won’t bow down, mushroom boy!”

"Elon Musk is the undisputed champion of making money for Elon Musk. As effectively the CEO of the United States of America? Very bad. Embarrassing, honestly..." www.wired.com/story/doge-i...

The road to fascism in America was paved on the McConnell Memorial Highway. He singlehandedly legislated democracy down the toilet. “I have fucked everything up beyond repair so I guess I'll just leave now." ~ Mitch 'Asshole' McConnell www.rawstory.com/top-republic...

Here’s a good model for responding to this dipshit’s letters:

Connolly: "The fallacy of Musk's argument is they never look at revenue. They only look at expenditures. If you want to save social security, it's a fairly easy fix. Raise income threshold subject to withholding tax & you can extend social security by 40 to 50yrs. He doesn't want to talk about that"

Here in Illinois, ten years ago we saw the consequences of a rampant ideological gutting of government. It genuinely harmed people. Our citizens hated it. Trust me – I was elected based in part on just how much they hated it.

Thank you to @maddow.msnbc.com for promoting @bsky.app on air and complimenting it. Her on air support is truly important

May their memories be a blessing. 🇮🇱

You’ll notice media is ignoring the fact that badass Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett has literally exposed Nazi Musk’s government money grab scheme with securing nearly a billion dollars in new contracts in just 2 weeks.

If looks could kill. We are all Christine Baranski.

I was just an Education Department guy under Reagan and the most junior WH senior staffer under G.H.W. Bush, so what do I know? But if I were an ex-president, and the current president were executing the most disastrous turn in American foreign policy in 80 years, I think I might say something?

The Lyin’ King. 👑

Senators Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski, Joni Ernst, etc: You’ve seen Hegseth, RFK Jr, and others give worthless assurances. You’re now seeing the US appease Putin, and DOJ guardrails crumble. Are you going to let Kash Patel use the FBI against his enemies list and further destroy the rule of law?

Testicles usually drop at around nine months of age. Mike Pence’s took 65 years.

American presidents don’t even joke about this. Just because he’s petty doesn’t mean this isn’t dangerous.

The root that tears apart your foundation begins as a seed of distrust, hate, and blame. The seed that grew into a dictatorship in Europe didn’t arrive overnight. It started with everyday Germans mad about inflation and looking for someone to blame.

Wait what ? So Elon started DOGE and was a member. But now suddenly he ISNT PART OF DOGE and is just a senior advisor to POTUS on DOGE MATTERS? TRANSLATION: yeah they know the courts are coming for them and they will lose and they need to change course. FUCKING MORONS

That’s the ticket. Show up in court, with your Bar licenses on the line, and answer a judge’s pointed and specific questions on how this deal went down.

Whatever else emerges in time about the Delta crash in Canada, one thing is certain: the importance & amazing professionalism of flight attendants who safely evacuated the plane in a matter of seconds.

Jim Acosta: I think the AP should consider whether or not to sue the administration… and the rest of the press corps should start seriously considering whether it’s worth sending everyone into the Oval Office, onto Air Force One, or into the briefing room.

I’m not getting on another plane until Pete Buttigieg himself tells me the pilots are woke enough to keep us in the sky

The amount of secondhand embarrassment I have even just watching this is through the roof.

When a judge stops the president from doing something illegal, that’s not a “threat to democracy,” that’s a check on the president’s power. That's the whole damn point.

I'll start.🙋‍♀️
