Somehow suspect Biden setting up a "Truth Social" and then a cryptoscam biz would never have been normalized.

Beyond parody.

Shameful.

Just a reminder for any member of Congress who seems to have forgotten...

Trump will have an "intimate private dinner" at his golf resort with top buyers of his crypto memecoin. He and his inner circle stand to profit from this token and a proposed national crypto reserve — while taxpayers could be left holding the bag.   Corruption in plain sight.

The reason why it’s so hard to even consider the “anti-vaccine” argument, is that we already know what happened to children before vaccines… they died. If you want to argue for *even better vaccines* fine. But to argue no vaccine is anywhere near better than what we have now is idiotic.

Personally, I think it should be front page news for at least a month if a sitting US President is using falsified evidence to try and deny due process to a man who has committed no crime, but that’s just me

Time to start impeachment proceedings. If the Supreme Court doesn’t matter, we do not have a working democracy. If we cozy up to an El Salvadoran thug, what are we?

Omg

I may be tired and a little hoarse, but as I said again and again on the Senate floor, this is a moment where we cannot afford to be silent, when we must speak up.

He’s so close to getting it

Accurate, to scale 👇🏽

This is the final step on the road to authoritarian fascism. If the President can rule by decree and cannot be scrutinized or reviewed by the other two branches, then this experiment in democracy is done.

GOOD: Mallory McMorrow will launch a bid for the open Senate seat in Michigan.

Once again, how much nazi is too much nazi- we are well past ok.

Democratic Senator Dick Durbin torches Donald Trump's social media post saying 'he who saves his country does not violate any law:" "Mr. President, those 10 words are a rationale for tyranny and are an assault on our Constitution." Spot on!

Not satire. What have we done.

Say it with me… this is illegal.

www.cnn.com/2022/11/25/p... “Very fine people” like the ones chanting Jews will not replace us in VA. How is this who we are??? I know this is old news but you can pick any heinous act - there are too many.

It's not that the kid is wrong, it's that he's wrong with utter and serene confidence. When people ask me why I wrote The Death of Expertise, it wasn't ignorance that compelled me to write, it was this kind of unbreakable, completely self-assured ignorance that did it.

if you as an American Jew do not want to be used as the excuse for Trump's destruction of civil liberties and basic democratic protections, the time to speak out is right now

The coolest thing I’ve seen today is that a bunch of volunteer public health professionals and developers have restored the CDC website from before January 20th 2025. This differs from an archive in that they want to rebuild the links between pages and replicate the full website.

Bribes. They’re known as bribes.

Just to be clear, this is real. And they're laughing about how they are Nazis who can't be stopped.

French Senator Claude Malhuret: "Washington has become Nero’s court, with an incendiary emperor, submissive courtiers and a jester high on ketamine... We were at war with a dictator, we are now at war with a dictator backed by a traitor."

I'm disgusted by Trump, but I'm more disgusted by the voters who put him back in the White House after know who he is and what he did.

I don’t care if they’re making the very best decisions in the history of policymaking—they’re NOT ALLOWED to do ANY of this.

Trump now offering up US Citizenship Gold Cards for $5 million. Any oligarch in the world can buy one including Russians. www.rawstory.com/trump-citize...

this is an act of unspeakable violence. it benefits no one, it doesn’t move a number on a balance sheet. it only guarantees that every one of these incarcerated transgender people will be tortured.

The termination of 850 Indian Health Service physicians, nurses, and dentists will have a grave impact on access to care for millions of Native Americans. Upholding our treaty obligations is not optional.

genuinely chilling that there is a currently a *one vote* majority for the basic notion "Donald Trump can't just do literally anything he wants"

"The editorial function of helping to separate fact from fiction is on its back feet right now, where some guy on the internet can be treated like they have just as much credibility as somebody who is holding themselves to the highest ethical standards of journalism." - Pete Buttigieg, NewsHour 1/8

This cartoon feels downright optimistic given what they’re promising. 😞
