Usually when states go to court alleging federal coercion in violation of the 10th Amendment there is not a literal video of the President doing it.

One thing this little bleat from Chad “Damp Little Britches” Mizelle demonstrates is the duality of Trumpism: it’s about simultaneously being (1) a tough truth-telling masculine elbow-thrower and (2) as fragile as a porcelain goose. Bullies who can dish, but weep at the slightest pushback. Losers.

Completely sane response.

WYOMING: “Thank you, Madam chairman.” “I prefer ‘Mister’ chairman.” “Well you all voted preferred pronouns cannot be compelled speech.”

in the trump administration, “merit” is pronounced “white” like how strom thrumond said it.

A group of wolves is called a pack and a group of Nazis is called a CPAC.

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

This is quite significant in many ways: the overt thuggery, Trump’s barely suppressed fury at being contradicted by a woman, the governor’s standing up, the total abandonment of the pretense of federalism, the continuing use of trans Americans the way Hitler used Jews.

Among those Trump and Musk fired at the FAA: - Lawyers who help keep drunk or reckless pilots out of the skies - Air traffic control support staff - Employees who track potential new flying hazards like cranes - Staffers who medically clear pilots to fly www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

"[Musk] is trying to gut everything good in America for his own private profit. This is the culmination of what oligarchy is all about...the fusion and the capture of the billionaire class of our democracy." - @aoc.bsky.social with @fedworkersunited.bsky.social today #SaveOurServices

Hey, asshole, I am fully capable of keeping 2 things in my head at the same time. I think the president of the United States claiming to be a king is a pretty fucking big deal. I kind of wish my elected officials did, too.

yeah the mistake they made was assuming their colleagues would have some bare minimum of professional pride or backbone

Lawyers, this is what it looks like to honor your oath as a lawyer and as a prosecutor. I want to lift up Denise Cheung, one of a growing group of senior DOJ lawyers who have put the rule of law ahead of politics & short-term career advancement. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/18/u...

JD Vance is so nauseatingly unlikeable that he’s literally dragging down the AfD’s approval rating

above all else the current crop of republicans in congress are the most pathetic cowards to ever serve in washington www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

white nationalist men are too emotional to be in charge

It’s almost as if Xitter became a wretched hive of scum and villainy, i.e., Nazi land

The FAA firings will continue until they stop all these planes from crashing

Has anybody seen any self-reflection from the people who said that identity politics was the biggest threat in American life even as authoritarianism was on the rise?

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.

donald trump has ordered the IRS to hand over all of your personal information to a Holocaust denier who works for the richest man on Earth, who is a Nazi

Our military will soon be asked to make a very stark choice. There will be mass unrest in this country as these disastrous changes take effect. Trump will invoke the insurrection act at some point. You will be ordered to inflict violence on your fellow citizens. Think through this before it happens.

seems like it is a big deal that the unifying ideology of the doge team is neo nazism

the single most un-american and anti-constitutional statement ever uttered by an american president
