AOC: Donald Trump is a criminal. He was found guilty of 34 felony counts of fraud, found liable for sexual abuse. If he wants to find the rapists and criminals in this country, he should look in the mirror

Here is how WaPo handled Dem's 10-day long effort to count every vote in PA vs. GOP's 5-month long effort to throw out thousands of votes in NC. Support independent, pro-democracy media.

Keep talking about the Signal security lapse at the Pentagon. The media may have forgotten about it, but the voters have not.

These guys, like a lot of folks in the press who hated that Biden and Harris weren't available for long press conferences or interviews, don't understand that constant exposure to and the availability of the Fearless Leader is a feature of authoritarian governments, not a bug.

Billionaire says out loud that he and his Pharma CEO wife have way more access to a Republican White House than a Democratic one

In a functioning democracy, these comments alone would be grounds for impeachment.

The "Boar on the Floor" scene from "Succession" dramatically underplayed the degree to which powerful people will debase themselves in order to curry favor with more powerful people.

I'm seeing grown-ass adults marvel at how high stocks jumped today - they must think their mom actually vanished when she played "peek-a-boo."

Maybe the ICE cops snatching 2nd graders out of finger painting and breaking in the car windows of old ladies on their way to clean hotel rooms have a rich inner life and back story that makes their motives seem less black and white? Maybe they're going through a divorce? You ever think of that?

You can tell who the Good Guys are because they're the ones smashing a car window to drag a mother away from her child while wearing ski masks.

Liberals made waves with the 1619 Project. But now conservatives have a flashy project of their own—the 1488 Project.

roberts and his co-conspirators are probably writing an opinion “for the ages” explaining that the article ii vests the president with the inherent power to disappear anyone he pleases

Terrified of the subway, unable to use a dishwasher properly

Good morning. Today is the 80th day that the U.S. President is running a backdoor bribery scheme in which any CEO or foreign oligarch can send him money secretly through his crypto coin scam in exchange for favors. It's the biggest scandal in the history of the Presidency.

Media challenge: try writing headlines without using the word "antisemitism". Stop using Trump's framing for his authoritarian actions. "Trump administration now monitoring immigrant social media" would be shorter and more accurate, since no-one really believes this is about anti-semitism.

It's outrageous that they gave Trump the powers trusted to them in the Constitution, even if just on an "emergency wink-wink basis" It's unconscionable that they're now proposing a way to block themselves from taking their rightful powers back.

I'd add that the portrayal of Lee as a military genius is also completely dishonest. Lee was directly responsible for the strategic decision that lost the war for the Confederacy (1863 invasion of the north) and made that decision for dumb and foolish reasons.

90 percent. They sent innocent people to a gulag so Trump could look like a tough guy. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

So many air quality studies have shown mind-boggling impacts from even the smallest interventions.

Take note law firms and universities.

Trump said if America elected the wrong president, the market would crash. Well...

Congrats to Big Balls, Skeeter and the rest of the Musk Minions for making this happen.

William F Buckley & Ronald Reagan are rolling over on their spits in hell

Big fan of The Pitt, the store about a hospital ER where every sentence is explicitly weighted with the collective trauma of everyone in the conversation or aggressive assholery in front of patients and trainees that rings more false than if they made everyone speak with its-a me mario accents.

Alternative headline: Acting Head of IRS Resigns Rather Than Break the Law

I'm not kidding that any Dem who wants to run in 2028 should get out ahead of this and loudly say if El Salvador puts American citizens in Trump's gulag we'll fucking invade.

And he had SOOO many businesses successes in that time.

Hell yeah 826 Boston

It’s the stupid, economy.

So the Supreme Court’s strategy seems pretty clearly to be forestall admitting we have a constitutional crisis by giving Trump huge victories on narrow procedural grounds. This is akin to having engineers move the Rubicon River closer and closer to Rome to avoid Caesar crossing it.

Just saw this on a subreddit I follow – 1912 has excellent advice for the current Democratic Party.

The new "Trump is ingeniously trying to cause a recession" theory reminds me of a similar moment in the occupation of Iraq. A bit more than a year in, it wasn't going well. The US military was trying to overcome a protracted and deepening insurgency. The last WMD diehards had taken the L.

Citizens cannot, by legal definition, be "deported." What she's describing is kidnapping and forced imprisonment without cause. She and many, many others in this administration should face prison one day. bsky.app/profile/ones...

104% tariffs on Chinese goods go into effect tomorrow. Let's see how Fox News is covering the story.

The intermingling of fascist paramilitary and propaganda groups with the federal government is a literal hallmark of fascism. Do with that information what you will and really sit with what it means that a stochastic terrorist is now essentially deputized by the state to do as she pleases.

Weird how the same party that insisted undocumented immigrants don't pay any taxes is now using the records of undocumented immigrants paying their taxes to find them. Of course they think it's *great* they won't be adding to our tax revenues anymore. Damn freeloaders, giving us money for nothing.

The central & most important aspect of John Roberts’s jurisprudence is republicans must be allowed to do whatever they want *until* trial appeal and final scotus review admit they’re illegal. Democrats’ actions cannot be allowed UNTIL that same review says they’re legal bsky.app/profile/lawn...

Like the meme says, you can't lose an election if nobody can vote. With TX disenfranchising a Dem House district, and a coup over an NC judicial race, GOP strategy for coping with Trump's shrinking presidency hinges on voter suppression My new column www.inquirer.com/columnists/a...

“McDonalds workers in Denmark make more than Honda workers in Alabama” is such a key point. It’s the institutions, stupid.

This weekend had the chance to catch up with a friend who's a wine importer, not only is she getting crushed but also unless you buy directly from a vineyard you're going to pay more because distributors will raise prices on domestic vintages to make up for lost profits.
