The thing that makes me angriest is the lack of contrition. These people are directly culpable for their friend being torn from her family. But they pretend that her arrest is an act of God, like a tornado, that just . . . happened. www.thebulwark.com/p/meet-the-w...

Exactly. They won’t connect who they vote for on the local level with what they don’t like about the Trump admin.

Brave man and a brave television station.

"Give me liberty or give me death!" Trump admin - okay, let's go with death! The admin's guidance says that state abortion bans can force hospitals to turn away pregnant patients experiencing medical emergencies that jeopardize their health, including reproductive health, & potentially lives.

People say they want Star Trek medicine and miracle cures, but then vote these people into power. We should be increasing mRNA research, not dismantling it. We are all going to be worse off because of it.

My home of Missoula just voted to establish the pride flag as an official government flag of the city, thereby circumventing the state's asinine pride flag ban. 🏳️‍🌈 Missoula is once again showing how to fight back against policies that seek to erase the LGBTQ community.

Hell yeah

Key pt. “Corruption thrive[s] alongside incompetence.” We created non-partisan civil service jobs so loyalty tests and the chaos of throwing out people who knew how to do the job, had the job. Today the administration is unleashing corruption with loyalty tests.

I represent Silicon Valley. There are more billionaires here than anywhere else on Earth. If I am saying “Tax the Billionaires,” why is that such a hard vote for the rest of Congress?

If you want to torture yourself you can read the transcript of Biden’s speech from last years West Point commencement ceremony. Lots of applause and laughter, no trophy wives and yachts. He stuck around and shook the hands of all 1,036 graduates too. bidenwhitehouse.archives.gov/briefing-roo...

#GVerse If you agree, Repost!!!

The words of the incredible @sifill.bsky.social

blind....

“An even sadder truth is that, faced with a choice between democracy and the promise of cheaper Doritos, America went with the Doritos.” A true indictment on the American electorate. TBD if we can recover.

I cannot stress enough how much of a Def Con 1 moment this is. Federal judges fear that the President of the United States will stand down security for judges in retaliation for adverse decisions. This is such a huge story.

👏😂

At 9:00 AM this morning the entire Pentagon got an email inviting them to a “Christian prayer and worship service” from the Office of the Secretary of Defense. A Cabinet member directly violating the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment.

Star Trek was always "woke" and if you don't know or don't believe that by now, you're not paying attention. I am not one to gate-keep fandom, but if you are a MAGA supporter, you are no Star Trek fan. #startrek

Sure, let’s dissect the mental and physical acuity of the former president who sought to make lives in America better while minimizing the reality of a deranged arsonist dismantling the country we’ve known and loved. What a failure to meet this moment.

After months of baseless claims about “extreme levels of fraud” within Social Security, Musk's DOGE has found only 2 likely fraudulent claims out of over 110,000—that makes it a rate of .0018%. So DOGE found virtually no fraud and made an integral American system less efficient.

Agree 💯

Who would have guessed that would happen? Well @pivotpod.bsky.social for months now.

You hang a Dear Leader banner on a federal building and #LordLaser is gonna have something to say about it.

This!

Samuel gets it right, ALWAYS💙👏

Drug prices are high in America for many unacceptable reasons, the primary being our government didn’t directly negotiate prices with pharmaceutical companies Thats changing now, thanks to the Biden team and laws passed by Congress Easy to issue Executive Orders. The hard work is in passing laws

Let's be clear: Republicans don't want more 'parents' at home. They want more *women* at home. If you think this isn't about eradicating women from the public sphere, you haven't been paying attention

Creating a problem and then demanding praise for fixing it. A pattern.

No. Trump is an inveterate liar. His statements should never be put in headlines. News outlets must find out what actually occurred, put that in the headline, and then put Trump statements, with fact checks, at the end of the article. apple.news/AGkI8kRVEQC6...

“The image of the world’s richest man taking steps that over time will kill over a million children? It is a pretty stark one”

This is a particular brand of DC surrender where everyone knows they’re capitulating, but they all look each other in the eyes and lie about what’s happening

Our most immoral and unethical president may also be our most religious—or most irreligious— depending on your views of religion. Either way, he’s definitely our most unconstitutional president.

When A President Isn’t A Criminal Propped Up By A Corrupt Supreme Court…

Dumb, dumber and dumbest

Proof this guy is full of SITH.

This says it all…

The Trump family’s cryptocurrency business just got a $2B investment from a firm backed by the United Arab Emirates government. With this deal, they will be enriched beyond most people’s comprehension—and they have the UAE government to thank for it.

Trump is cashing in on his own crypto coin It’s not just an offense to common sense & decency—it’s a pipeline for foreign influence I discussed his latest Constitutional violation @velshi.com

When you look at the statements that were edited out of Trump’s Meet the Press interview that aired on TV, it is pretty rich that he’s suing 60 Minutes over edits to Harris. These are the parts that weren’t shown on air. meidasnews.com/news/what-tr...

There are two types of Republicans: Group 1) Those who are corrupt and criminal from their first day entering office. Group 2) Those entering with good intentions but are easily bribed and bought to join Group 1. Trump is Group 1. #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice Ron Bresnahan is Group 2 (ditto Marco Rubio)

Excuse me, but it seems his only principles are (1) lowering his own taxes, (2) protecting his pollute-for-free business model (violating every principle of economics and morality) and (3) corrupting democracy with dark money. Some “principles.”

SCOTT PELLEY says ‘60 Minutes’ executive producer Bill Owens resigned after Paramount started meddling in their content, because they wanted to get their merger approved by Trump — specifically mentioning their coverage of Israel and Trump.
