I assumed 'twas compromising dirt, Putin had, to keep Trump's lips upon his dictator...but at this point, we can't seem to do anything about blatant criminal acts as it is, so why would Trump care? So maybe it's not compromat...maybe Trump really just loves him some old russian facist spittle.

If this Alan guy is half as true and respectable as those interviews come off, he absolutely should get into politics

Philly and South Jersey Friends…what are you doing Saturday at 12:30? Protesting at Cherry Hill Tesla in the name of democracy? I thought so! www.mobilize.us/indivisible/...

A @thebaltimorebanner.com / @nytimes.com investigation went into painstaking detail on how Baltimore is suffering from one of the worst public health crises ever seen in a major American city. But elected officials are being told not to talk about it. www.thebaltimorebanner.com/politics-pow...

There’s an active fascist takeover going on. Let’s check in with the Democrats on the Senate Judiciary committee to see how they’re resisting it. Oh… oh I see. They’re trying to blow up Section 230 and open the floodgates for Trump to censor the Internet. Inspiring!

"I send $$ to his sister and he signs whatever I say and does what I want”. Substitute 'Trump' for 'his sister' and this applies to the entire GOP machine

"Why should somebody literally sit on the beach and surf, buy their sandwiches from the food truck with their food stamps and then pick up low-cost housing and so on, while writing a book,” Issa said. They literally have no fucking clue how any of these programs work. apnews.com/article/medi...

I had essentially this argument as a 13 y/old at camp with a same-age Reaganite who had the same opinion as Rubio. 13, Rubio.

"nobody even knows where the [national debt] money went and you’re not allowed to ask." Huh? Its all public record at OMB, CBO, & Treasury websites, which I've also used to publish 600 reports, articles, & chart books specifying where all the money went. You can log off Twitter and go look it up!

A Trump-Musk memo telling US government employees to hide what’s happening from the public is a sign that: 1) Public legitimacy is a constraint for them, they know it, and will at times alter their behavior accordingly 2) Reporters should focus on it, revealing more of what they’re trying to hide

The rage this generates in me . . . (I was there for the beginning of AmeriCorps, & it shaped who I am, personally and professionally. And I know countless others who would tell you the exact same thing. Just an enormously good program, combining federal funding with local knowledge and capacity.)

Maryland friends, HUD may have removed critical Fair Housing resources and information from their website, but we're still here. Anything you want to know about Fair Housing generally, let me know.

Great advice from @mark.bsky.social today: if you see something, save something. @archive.org has a free tool on their website that allows anyone to save a webpage they fear might disappear. There's even a browser extension that allows you to save every page you visit, if you are so inclined.

We saved the public billions! And we'll keep it safe in our personal accounts, probably invest it in Trump crypto, for the good of the public. Promise
