you really can't mollify these guys. It's not about the law it's about fealty

Kind of incredible how much Trumpism really is just a dumber version of Pat Buchanan’s shtick.

Oligarchs buying elections with million dollar giveaways. Hopefully people in Wisconsin won’t allow the South African to purchase a seat on your Supreme Court just like he bought the US federal government.

ABC News: "An unthinkable breach of national security." CBS News: "An unthinkable breach of national security." MSNBC: "An unthinkable breach of national security." CNN: "An unthinkable breach of national security." Fox News: "We've all texted the wrong person before."

I had legit completely forgotten this.

BENNET: Did you know that the president's Middle East adviser was in Moscow on this thread while you were as director of the CIA participating in this thread? Were you aware of that?! RATCLIFFE: I'm not aware of that BENNET: It's am embarrassment

💯 — not to mention the guy who chose them all

Wow- Himes during a heated exchange w/Will Cain on Fox: "I'm not gonna listen to to you tell me that this about a partisan advantage...it is by the grace of God that we don't have dead pilots right now...it makes me want to throw up to hear you turn this into a partisan issue. You just need to stop"

One month ago, Tulsi fired 100 intelligence officers for a chat tool messaging. Only they were discussing LGBTQ+ issues, not attacks on Houthis.

Schumer could at least fake trying to fight for our country. He could at least force the traitors to a meeting. Dems need to wake up. It's not 1980.

To repeat: the Trump administration peace deal was always a deal for peace between Russia and the US, not Russia and Ukraine. In it, it seems, the US gets Ukraine's resources, Russia gets Ukraine's land, and Ukraine gets to say thank you.

Still not understanding that America is under attack by Russia and @PeteHegseth is just another Putin useful idiot. If you are one of the enablers elected to defend America but who choose to sit back and let this Russian attack continue, what is actually in this for you? www.cnn.com/2025/03/02/p...

The cowardice of the GOP has been astounding 👇 #TraitorTrump

From @vermontgmg.bsky.social Every Republican - complicit

It was important for the press to ask if Biden talked about his dead kids too much but asking about the shadow president’s obvious drug use would be gauche.

What does Bus/Econ or economic sociol lit say is best way to fight a hostile takeover? Heartened by yesterday’s gatherings but I think Dem Party needs a better compass. Or any compass at all. Or a map or some story re what works when strangers march into headquarters, fire everyone, & take ur stuff

After a 12-hour markup where Democrats fought to stop them, Republicans passed a budget that betrays the middle class. Their plan steals from working families while delivering a $4.5 TRILLION giveaway to their billionaire donors. Democrats will fight this Republican Rip Off.

Far-right populists much more likely than the left to spread fake news – study

"We are in the midst of a constitutional crisis right now," said Erwin Chemerinsky, dean of the law school at the University of California, Berkeley. "There have been so many unconstitutional and illegal actions in the first 18 days of the Trump presidency. We never have seen anything like this."

This energy.

Great point.

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...

The new cover of TIME.

The Crypto Coup

The credulous language with which the legacy media is describing an effort by billionaires to loot the federal government. Privatizing prisons makes the more cruel. Privatizing the post office betrays a promise of access made at nation's founding. www.nytimes.com/2024/12/06/u...

"When it comes to combating election fraud, timing is everything," write Giorgi Meladze and Srdja Popovic. "Rapid documentation and communication of fraud can galvanize public support and spark a movement for change." www.journalofdemocra...

Here is footage I took where you can hear citizens calling for the PPP lawmakers to come back and vote.

DOGE is nothing more than two billionaires cosplaying as government officials. I’m all for making government for efficient, but these guys just want to slash resources for agencies that help working people. thehill.com/homenews/adm...

Norwegian Meidas Mighty🇳🇴 The Meidas Touch Network is the way to go🍾🎆👍🏻

I wrote about Seth Moulton, Rahm Emanuel, James Carville and other more centrist Democrats blaming progressives for Harris's defeat. Their arguments, in terms of election analysis, are weak. But we are in the midst of an intra-party conflict with high stakes. wapo.st/3ZGh5UV

As we head towards January, it is our turn to use this period productively. Hoping that Trump fails is not a plan. We must develop and foster new movements, structures, tactics, platforms and leaders to oppose Trump and articulate a positive vision. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/buil...

I think the question is how much more their MSNBC audience will take of anticipatory obedience.

Following a @propublica.org and @mainemonitor.bsky.social investigation, the Maine Department of Health and Human Services has proposed significantly increasing staffing requirements for assisted living and residential care regulations, among other changes.

Republicans: We want to eliminate the deficit by putting a drunk with a history of bankrupting medium sized non-profits in charge of the Pentagon.

The incoming Trump administration is not sending their best. They’re sending people with big problems, and they’re bringing those problems to us. They’re rapists. They’re alcoholics. They’re criminals. And some, I assume, are good people 🤷🏽‍♀️

Just trying to wrap my head around this. It’s more likely that Hegseth gets confirmed to lead the Pentagon… because his mommy went on Fox this morning?

On the Rudy Giuliani FRONT FAFO...TRUMP don't care Thank you @muellershewrote.bsky.social No Lawyer will take him as a client..karma's a bitch

This! 🎯🎯🎯

BREAKING: Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez just announced she is considering running for the top Democratic position on the Oversight Committee if Rep. Jamie Raskin succeeds in replacing Jerry Nadler as the head of the Judiciary Committee.

Much as I would like to be the kind of person who stopped using Twitter as a Statement: mainly what happened is it became more and more work to find content I was interested in as opposed to content the Internet's most boring people were paying a monthly fee to shove in my face.
