Exposed. Former KGB operative says Trump (codename "Krasnov") was recruited by Soviet intelligence service. Quelle surprise. bylinetimes.com/2025/02/21/d...

Listen to @radiofreetom.bsky.social! "Now that Trump has captured the intelligence services, the Justice Department, and the FBI, the military is the last piece he needs to establish the foundations for authoritarian control of the U.S. government."

🚨BREAKING: Federal Court GRANTS sweeping nationwide injunction against Trump DEI executive orders finding that they violate First and Fifth Amendments to the Constitution. A huge victory for @democracyforward.org and its clients. A stinging loss for Trump. Visit www.democracydocket.com for details.

Firing all of the JAGs (Judge Advocates General)—the top lawyers in each service branch—is just as bad as, if not worse than, firing (most of) the Joint Chiefs.

Some don’t even realize they’re actually eating all the faces.

This is just sheer brazen criminality by DOJ. Adams gets federal corruption charges dropped not because there isn’t overwhelming evidence, but because he agrees to help Homan round up migrants. And Homan says the charges will be refiled if Adams doesn’t “come through.”

Good thing he didn’t look or sound high AF in the Oval today.

Bedfellows? The American Bar Association Joins The Resistance: No one has ever accused the American Bar Association of being anti-Republican, so imagine our surprise to learn that they are screaming like Bolsheviks at the gate coming for the czar. We live in strange times: The ABA Supports the…

The new iconic photo that i predicted ultimately destroys the relationship:

Gaza belongs to Palestinians. Forcible displacement of populations is against international law. President Trump’s outrageous comments disregard the basic human rights of millions of Palestinians. His comments only serve to further escalate this destructive conflict.

Hey NYTimes — *now* you’re lighting the beacons? NOW?!? After months of “Sauron: Avatar Of Evil… Or Extreme Uniter?” thumbsucker reporting you’re screaming what we’ve known since 2015? Fuck all the way off.

this is the sort of thing you post when you’re ramping up to defying lawful court orders

Normalize pronouncing DOGE as DOUCHE.

Senator from Kansas thinks that some foreign aid is important. Wonder why?

Trust me, bro.

Thank you!

There is a simple solution to the CBS/Trump lawsuit. The Harris campaign should sue Fox and insist Fox release the unedited versions of all their many edited interviews with Trump.

i don’t even know if crime is the right word for the illegal destruction of USAID. it is an autocratic power grab and a direct attack on the sovereignty of the american people

A couple of (actually serious) thought-experiment questions on where we are and where we’re going: If a bunch of sociopaths are destroying the federal government from within, why should we pay federal taxes? And if they succeed, who’s going to make us pay those taxes?

Canadian MP Charlie Angus: He choked. The market started to tank, and suddenly, he said, “Oh, didn’t you guys already have a plan to deal with the border back in December? I love that—I’ll take that.” This is Mr. Art of the Deal.

This is a great idea. Do you know anyone in Congress you can talk to?

Murphy: "This is a constitutional crisis that we are in today. Let's call it what it is."

This is the reason.

The last 2 weeks have been so surreal I now believe that David Lynch may have taken over for God.

Is Musk is *just now* being made a “special government employee” just confirms how illegal this has all been!

Al Gore pitched a sovereign wealth fund once, but he called it a “lockbox.” And it existed bc they’d taxed the wealthy a tiny bit, balanced the budget and had a surplus. And he only wanted the fund to protect Social Security for Americans who weren’t millionaires. So the GOP mocked it.

This asshole could have ended it all by voting to convict and remove. He can fuck off with this late stage bullshit.

honestly think some of the hesitation here is that no one wants to sound like a crank. i was talking at an event last night and even i felt like a crank while i was speaking!

Canadian MP Charlie Angus: So here’s how it’s going to go down—this is going to be very rough. But the big wake-up call is for our American friends. For example, Kentucky—the number one purchaser of Kentucky spirits in the world is Canada, and all our provinces have just pulled it off the shelves.

if I understand American politics correctly, progressivism is something that requires 60 senate votes to work, while national conservatism doesn’t require any votes at all

These are the clowns Congress refuses to stop.
