"You don't deserve due process if you're a criminal" has got to be among the least "American" arguments the government has put forward in a century

I remember Watergate. I was just a kid, but...I was a news freak even then. I watched Cronkite every night with my parents. Compared to this...the '70s weren't jack sh*t; I have very fond memories of life in America then. 2025 is equal to winning a sack full of assholes and a poke in the eye.

BREAKING: 36k people showed up in LA for Bernie and AOC’s rally. In the off year. Americans are pissed — and anyone ignoring that is making a big mistake.

Gracious and measured?!?!? Bill Maher, you’re an absolute feckless wanker whose viewpoint is specious at best… err more likely just bullshit.

This is blood-boiling. Charles Rogers was awarded the Medal of Honor in Vietnam after being wounded three times leading the defense of a position. Google his name and the entry below comes up. When you click, you'll see the page has been deleted and the URL changed to include "DEI medal."

They are disappearing people. Not just deporting, disappearing. No trial. No lawyer. No contact. Sent to CECOT, a foreign mega-prison built for show, running on torture and silence. This is not immigration policy. This is history repeating itself. #AreWeGreatYet #NeverAgainIsNow

CECOT is where Trump sends the unwanted to vanish. The “wrong” tattoo. The “wrong” last name. The “wrong” paperwork. And now, the “wrong” place, for the rest of their lives. We’ve seen this before. We swore we wouldn’t do it again. #AreWeGreatYet #StateTerror

Josh Rogin was spot on calling out Bill Maher on @realtimers.bsky.social — saying the dinner was a PR stunt and Maher was a fool for playing the pawn.

Oh, the irony 😂—talk about paid protesters! MAGA has filed a lawsuit against Elon Musk in Pennsylvania, alleging he failed to pay individuals who gathered signatures for a petition during the 2024 presidential campaign.

Hey, @schumer.senate.gov :: you better not be playing cute with your language about stopping the SAVE Act. I hope you intend to VOTE NO ON CLOTURE, as opposed to what you did with the CR when you told us you'd vote no on the bill, but still voted YES on cloture. We are in no mood for games.

The House just passed its budget resolution, so reconciliation is now officially underway. This is their bill to destroy Medicaid and SNAP while cutting taxes disproportionately for the rich. THIS IS VERY REAL and can be enacted even if all Ds vote no. Thread on what's to come and WHERE TO FIGHT.

You set the house on fire, watched it burn, and then lost your nerve and put it out. You now have a partially burned house. Great job.

It's crazy that nobody is reporting (outside of the WSJ, who had it in one sentence at the end of an article) that OpenAI hasn't actually received any of the money from SoftBank, and that SoftBank appears to be borrowing their entire part of the funding round. group.softbank/en/news/pres...

ICE posted their tip line on Twitter and it seems like MAGA is actually going to clog the line without any help from the rest of us. A significant number of them are like, "I reported every Meixcan looking person I saw today," and the rest are like, "I reported Obama, AOC, and Ilhan Omar."

Healthcare, social security, medical research, disability supports & public health are all under attack. Want to fight back? Wear a mask. It only takes one infection to end up severely disabled. A mask protects you and those around you. It’s easier to resist when you have your health. #HandsOff

There’s no denying it anymore: the pro-democracy movement is finally back on offense. Trump’s presidency is an unmitigated disaster. MAGA is imploding under the weight of its own lies, grifts, and failures. They’re not strong—they’re desperate. They’re flailing. And they know it.

Trade deficit. I have bought food from say, Chilis. They have never bought food from me. There is a trade deficit with Chilis. I’m still doing fine. The trade deficit argument SOUNDS compelling, but it’s a straw man with no relevancy

Keep downplaying the protests at your own peril. Keep threatening Americans. The protests will only get bigger. Trump is hated. Musk is hated. The political winds have shifted. People are fed up. This is only the beginning.

I only talked to one person today at the protest with a Bluesky or X account. Most of the people at the protest I was at were decidedly offline types.

We see you all! Incredible turnout so far across the country — current estimates put participation at around 750,000 and counting! More accurate numbers are still coming in, with many events yet to begin.
