I’m gonna keep reposting this.

Hate to break it to y’all, but eventually… we’re gonna have to do something.

Dex and Liza resting. Somehow, this is the “dog bed” they prefer.

"Trump is a Russian asset as far as I'm concerned. He's become a Russian asset. He used to be American. He's not American anymore. He's a Putin's useful idiot."

I canceled my @washingtonpost.com subscription after censorship of Harris endorsement, but contemplated renewing because of great journalists at paper. Marcus resignation is nail in coffin for me. Bezos true intention is to kill Post. Trump hates it & Amazon must protect its government contracts.

This is the only answer.

What would Mitch McConnell have done in a similar predicament? Sady, these Senators appear to believe in bipartisanship while the GOP believes we're in a post-constitutional period. SHUT MUSK DOWN.

This is Trump’s and Putin’s plan to Make Russia Great Again. Trump is Russia’s greatest espionage victory of the 21st century.

Shady AF! Republicans could’ve stopped Trump’s disastrous trade policy & save the economy, but they protected him instead. Trump declared a “economic emergency” to push reckless tariffs. Dems tried to force a vote to end it, so the GOP pulled a stunt to block it: declaring Congress one long day.

The House just voted that “each day for the remainder of the 119th Congress shall not constitute a calendar day for purposes of section 202 of the National Emergencies Act.” A day is not a day. Lewis Carroll, George Orwell, and Franz Kafka must all be chuckling — or weeping.

Putin sees Trump as a RUSSIAN ASSET who has been under the watchful eye of Russian Intelligence for over 40 years.

here's the incredible interview that @chrislhayes.bsky.social did tonight with the woman who was just fired as the pardon attorney at DOJ, liz oyer. really, really, really worth watching: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mnqv...

NEW: Perkins Coie, the law firm targeted by Trump in an Executive Order, has now sued the Trump Administration in federal court alleging the EO is unconstitutional on several grounds, including violations of the First, Fifth, and Sixth Amendments. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Sticker on a NYC subway door.

I think it’s insulting that the American people have to listen to the idiocy of “Baghdad Bobbie” in the White House press room.

Would the White House press corps have ever allowed something like this from the Biden administration? Who the hell is this incompetent moron and why are we being insulted with her daily briefings?

She’s a regular “Baghdad Bobbie”

STUPID move by Southwest. It distinguished them from other airlines which now frequently have to beg passengers to check luggage for free at the boarding gate. Why? Greed?

New Yorkers must give a HARD NO to Andrew Cuomo’s bid to become NYC Mayor. After the debacle of the Adam’s administration, NYC deserves much better.

RELY ON SOCIAL SECURITY? GOP’s always called it an “entitlement.” Trump gave Musk task of eliminating SS. First, lie about massive waste & fraud.Then fire those who administer program & give Musk access to your personal data. Make no mistake, Social Security is “the big one to eliminate.”

These are the words of an American President who is systematically suppressing speech & trying to destroy the First Amendment. These are the words of an American President who believes he’s a king. And his supporters, who all feign support for free speech, won’t say a damn thing.

🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

Bezos essentially wants to let the Washington Post die. It was an ego trip to buy it. He doesn’t need it anymore and he knows Trump hates the paper.

Dicks Sporting Goods is one of the good guys! 🏆

Trump's a celebrity & performer who NBC hired to star in a reality TV show called “The Apprentice.” For 15 seasons from 2004 to 2017, nationwide American TV audiences were fed myth of Trump being a “successful businessman.” Read post: open.substack.com/pub/robertmc...

TRUMP CHAOS WRECKING USA ECONOMY This is what you get when you elect a failed businessman who went bankrupt six times.

"In a town with just over 1,000 residents, hundreds of people packed Belmont's Community Building Saturday for a town hall hosted by Democratic Rep. Mark Pocan. The building was filled to capacity with people even waiting outside and peeking through the windows..." www.wkow.com/news/politic...

Amen

The Trump Economy

Costa Rica has massively rewilded over recent decades. Has this led to the collapse of farming, rural society, or national wellbeing? Totally the opposite, and we in Ireland have SO much to learn from their example. My piece for the @irishexaminer.bsky.social www.irishexaminer.com/lifestyle/ou...

This is the Zócalo in downtown Mexico City today, where President Claudia Sheinbaum has convened hundreds of thousands of citizens to inform them of her government’s response to Trump and the threat of a tariff war with the United States.

The point isn’t about Newsom himself or any individual politician. The point is we need opposition leadership that isn’t afraid to say in clear terms that we are on the verge of a dark, dysfunction autocratic abyss and doesn’t fear opprobrium or being physical harmed for saying that.

AMEN. And that includes the Senate - most especially Lindsey Graham.

When the most accurate, hard-hitting headlines come from The Drudge Report - a politically conservative news aggregation website.

Yes… we desperately need new strong leadership now. Most were elected under an old set of rules with different skill set needs. The job description has changed.

We need a Navalny, not a Newsom. No offense intended against mainstream politicians like Newsom. It’s just that at this point we are way beyond the realm of normal bullshit politics.

AMEN. To paraphrase Leona Helmsley who once said: “We don’t pay taxes, only the little people pay taxes” the MAGAs say “we don’t obey laws & norms, only the Democrats must obey rules.”

And don’t forget Northern Baltimore County. That’s part of his district as well.

@chrismurphyct.bsky.social: They're out there saying 'we just passed a bill to eliminate taxes on tips & taxes on SS benefits.' NONE of that's in the bill. But they deny that they're cutting Medicaid. So they want credit for popular stuff that isn't in the bill but ignore the deeply unpopular stuff.

Don’t forget we have TWO very important Special Elections coming up April 1st We need these wins Please donate if you can @joshweil.bsky.social joshweil.us @gayforcongress.bsky.social gayforcongress.com

Each time I have sat down to write something since the election, I am bothered by this recurring phrase that I simply cannot get out of my head. So,I am going to just say it out loud: we are on our own. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/we-a...

The sad reality for too many in today’s America

Across Social Security right now: in addition to mass firings, elimination of Oversight Division, they are wasting taxpayer dollars by actually paying retirement eligible people FOR A WHOLE YEAR to leave now. Giving others cash incentives to leave now. Destroying Social Security so they can rob it.

Our own Rick Wilson hits the nail on the head: Trump is not “making deals” or “playing chess”, he’s just an idiot. Watch the LP Podcast to hear more: bit.ly/4kw7vvV
