I just sent Cory Booker money. I will send money to anyone who fights, and I will not send money to anyone who cowers in fear. That has to be the situation, for all of us.

The thing about watching a JD Vance speech is that everyone knows he’s a little pig man. Everyone knows he exists to squeal for Trump‘s amusement. No one respects him and he clearly doesn’t respect himself.

Congrats to the White House correspondents who failed to stand in solidarity with the AP and now get to stand by their new peer, a dipshit podcaster and Putin stooge. Dont complain, you earned this.

This is what’s destroying America, not Trump. The culture of capitulation. Trump won a pathetic popular vote victory - far less than Biden four years ago - and our institutions are acting like he had a huge mandate to void the Constitution.

ICYMI: Judge Luttig, below, was once seen as the most reliably and sincerely conservative jurist in America, mentor and role model to Ted Cruz, among others, and always on the short list for a GOP nomination to SCOTUS.

NYT Pitch: Just as Ukraine irresponsibly goaded Russia into invading it by being worried about invasion, Democrats are to blame for Trump becoming Putin’s ally, due to the inexcusable act of accusing him of already being one.

People assume Andrew Cuomo is tough and A Fighter because he always looks angry and acts weird. Mistaking a total lack of emotional self-regulation and wild, self-destructive spite for Masculine Strength is one of the defining political errors to me. No one even tries to keep it together anymore.

would not attend. would instead stage a massive protest outside the White House, showcasing that the president is not legitimate and that Democrats are committed fully to making sure the White House returns to the American people, even as Republicans are working towards preventing future elections.

Do people not understand what’s happening with the Eric Adams thing? The memo instructing the prosecution to be dropped explicitly said it was because he was carrying out the president’s agenda. It was “you’re working for me, so we’re letting you go.” It was an explicitly corrupt bargain

Please remember something: if you had said a year ago that Trump would do even a fraction of these things, you would have been mocked, belittled, accused of “Trump derangement syndrome,” and dismissed by certain people. Identify those people and block and shun them.

We are in the middle of the most profound crisis of American government since the civil war and our idiotic political media can barely see it. Control of the US has been handed to a totally unelected oligarch whose politics are defined by close association with neo-Nazis and conspiracy theorists

sam’s thread helps clarify something for me, which is the underlying theory behind trump’s action. trump does not see himself as a president in a system of shared authority, he sees himself as sovereign, with unchecked authority over everything.
