Too bad some of the Democrat senators can't see through the BS, and realize trying to play by some old rule book - it's only allowing musky trump to get away with harming ALL of us further down the road. Sometimes you just have to rip the band-aid off and let the wound be exposed to the air.

To me, the refusal to continue sharing intel...knowing full well it will result in death and destruction of brave soldiers and civilians... is nothing short of a war crime.

SCOOP: The new DOGE official seeking private taxpayer information at the IRS has ties to a sanctioned Russian oligarch considered part of Putin's inner circle. Sam Corcos is married to a woman who partnered w/ a VC firm handling Suleyman Kerimov's money. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

These guys are exactly as corrupt as you think they are. Endless interlocking rings of graft, tax evasion, shady foreign deals, and stateside enablers - all so they can make more money than they already have. Meanwhile, social security checks might not go out and cancer research for kids is gutted.

ketamine - cousin of PCP * affects perception * hallucinations / visions * mood changes (euphoria to suicidal) * affects behavior (sedation to violence) * reduces cognition * effects not always short-lived * onset isn't always immediate ---Johns Hopkins---

So...let me get this straight - on one hand trump is saying immigrants are free loaders, yet on the other hand he wants the IRS to track them down through tax returns. To trump: If they are paying a higher % of taxes than you, how can they be "free loaders" ????????

So don't want to be the bearer of bad tidings: but DOGE canceled the lease on the facility that processes and stores all the nuclear waste created by the US military. Sorry. talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/doge-...

I can't stomach trump's voice, so I'm watching independent news media to clue me in on what was said last night. I've watched reactions by Congress as well. No matter how you feel about Bernie...I promise you, this is a speech you should not miss. www.youtube.com/watch?v=QlrQ...

12 days ago, I posted about Kent State....no one can say his latest decree re: protests on campuses was not anticipated or expected. Students - educate yourself re: Kent State, and be aware of your surroundings. I don't want to live through this horror again. www.kent.edu/may-4-histor...

Democrat good-ol-boys in Congress are sheep, just like maggots. In denial, trusting intentions basically still reside in norms and morality. They do not see the dangers, just like maggots didn't. Complicit in their deniability with a failure to see the world around them for what it is. Blinded.

I've been in Washington for 32 years. I have often disagreed with U.S. administrations. But this is the first time in all that time that I believe the U.S. government is an enemy of the people of the United States and our allies.

Sorry but I’m with @samsteindc.bsky.social. This isn’t “in response” to the Oval meeting. They had all of this pre-planned and ready to roll out. Trump and Vance instigated the Oval confrontation to justify it.

Here I react to the shameful encounter between American leaders and media and the Ukrainian president. No doubt there were more, but I saw five failures on our side: of hospitality, decency, democracy, strategy, and independence. Please watch and share. snyder.substack.com/p/five-failu...

Jeff Bezos will be censoring progressive opinions at the Washington Post. He says so himself today. So ditch the Post and support independent journalism: Zeteo.com/subscribe

The Wall Street Journal congratulated Bezos as its ideological "wingman in the fight." If that is what you are looking for, by all means, support WaPo. Instead, if you are looking for fearlessly pro-democracy news, analysis and opinion, support Democracy Docket. www.democracydocket.com/member-me/

If the president defies the courts and Congress does not impeach him for it, the Constitution simply ceases to exist.

This is the ultimate dick boss move from Musk - except he isn’t even the boss, he’s just a dick.

Leave it up to the women to have the balls to speak out.

Federal employees are now being told they will be fired if they do not reply to a guy who does not respond to the Moms of his kids.

".....Trump let loose in all the ways he telegraphed, and in most cases promised, in the campaign." apnews.com/article/trum...

I have an idea. How about a bill that limits how much money the public is willing to allow a president to spend on secret service and travel expenses for leisure activities like....oh I dunno....say ... golfing.

For folks who want to see most of the data points - this is a good resource to read and save. So much happens, it's easy to forget points along the way.

I guess I'm confused. I thought the whole reason Musk is meddling was to find ways to save money so we could lower our debt / deficit. Why do some people think they will hand out "saved money" to citizens. How does that lower our debt? What am I missing?

As Trump makes concessions to Russia, he is showing weakness on a level unprecedented in modern US history. His position is so weak that it is unlikely to convince anyone. Trump is a sheep in wolf’s clothing. The wolves can tell the difference "The Weak Strongman" snyder.substack.com/p/the-weak-s...
