On the one hand, it’s bad to turn the White House into a used car lot. But on the other hand, let’s not talk about how we are becoming a kleptocracy.

They’re really trying to force this lie and news anchors have a responsibility to refute it with the facts every single time. And you know, maybe they could stop giving habitual liars air time? I’m just spitballing here, but that seems like the bare minimum for a “news network”

There were howls of protest and denial from the GOP any time we pointed out that Republicans want to cut Social Security. Now the most powerful official in the White House goes on TV and calls it "the big one to eliminate."

This should scare everyone. The Trump admin revoked Mahmoud’s legal status, kidnapped him, and is now holding him in an ICE detention facility without any due process. Trump is an authoritarian, testing the limits to see how much he can get away with. He won’t stop here.

Elon is attacking somebody falsely and egregiously because they are a real astronaut

@aoc.bsky.social: "For a party that loves to talk about free speech, they lay down the hardest hammer in trying to intimidate and punish anyone who does anything that they don't like. And the point of it is trying to make an example out of one person so that none of us stand up."

As long as Donald Trump is in the White House, America is not on the side of the good.

Fact-check: True

French Senator Claude Malhuret: "Washington has become Nero’s court, with an incendiary emperor, submissive courtiers and a jester high on ketamine... We were at war with a dictator, we are now at war with a dictator backed by a traitor."

Thanks To Trump, Bigotry, Racism, Indecency, Cruelty, & Ignorance Are Now Cool http://dlvr.it/TJMfw6

In a new video presentation and post I argue that Ds need to open up a "second front" that talks to the American people about the crimes Trump-Musk are committing, their trampling of the Constitution and their ongoing betrayal of the country. Find it 👇 www.hopiumchronicles.com/p/trump-musk...

What a wonderful idea…👇 Let’s. Do. This. ✨

NATO is already done. The United States of America is now an ally of the Russian Federation, and an adversary of European democracies.

“Our peaceful trading partners are not our enemies. They are our allies. We should beware of the demagogues who are ready to declare a trade war against our friends, weakening our economy, our national security and the entire free world. All while cynically waving the American flag.” ~Reagan 11.6.88

What he said about Social Security payments has been repeatedly debunked - so the question isn’t whether he’s lying about this, the question is why. What is this a pretext for? He and the GOP have long shown interest in going after Social Security. What are they going to try?

Trudeau: "He talked about banking again today in a tweet, which doesn't make any sense because 16 banks are currently active in Canada holding about $113b worth of assets in this country... what he wants is to see a total collapse of the Canadian economy, because that'll make it easier to annex us."

Yet more corruption: Donald Trump cannot run for office again, yet he is charging $5 million for a meeting with him. The Presidency is purely a grift for Trump. The unprecedented level of corruption is shocking and brazen.

I'm looking forward to catching up LIVE with Stephen Colbert tonight. Feels like there will be plenty to discuss! Tune in to the Late Show at 11:35 pm ET.

I hope the young people of America start rising up because Donald Trump is stealing their future.

NEW: Trump plans to sign an executive order to overtake the USPS by dissolving its leadership and placing it under his administration. This move would grant them immense power over mail-in ballots, a key target in Republican election fraud rhetoric.

President Trump has executed a realignment of American foreign policy: • He said Ukraine — not Russia — started the war between the two countries. • He called President Zelenskyy — not Vladimir Putin — a dictator. • And the Trump’s administration is standing down on anti-Kremlin policies.

Chris Murphy: "It appears as if America is trying to align itself with dictators, that Donald Trump wants us to have our closest relationships with despots all around the world, because that makes it easier for him to transition American into a kleptocratic oligarchy."

Chris Murphy: "It is absolutely shameful what's happening right now. The White House has become an arm of the Kremlin."

Just had the honor of bringing these American heroes on the @principlesfirst.bsky.social summit stage. #PrinciplesFirst @libradunn1.bsky.social @sergeantaqgo.bsky.social

Today Enrique Tario and friends followed Fanone heckling him. Fanone tells Tario he is a traitor.

Here’s what happened at the summit I spoke at in Washington, DC today. Tell me free speech isn’t under attack: youtu.be/Gnt4PNS7lJU

About to speak at the @principlesfirst.bsky.social

“We must especially beware of that small group of selfish men who would clip the wings of the American eagle in order to feather their own nests.” -FDR, 1941

Without going all Martin Niemöller here, I do think that it's bad not to speak up for immigrants, transgender Americans, civil servants, women, Ukraine, and everyone else the MAGA bullies are going after. We're beyond picking and choosing whom to defend. It's time to stand up and speak out.

Posting here a thread by Stathis N. Kalyvas, who is not yet in BlueSky:

Listen, we'd like to apologize; we had no idea what the "Keep Everybody From Dying of Botulism" guy did. Apparently it was something to do with Botulism and now you all have it. Anyway, no more DEI. Feels great, right?!
