“We’re a merit-based country again,” said the convicted felon whose military is run by a guy who mistakenly gave detailed attack plans to a reporter before the operation occurred.

West Point grads got some rambling advice today on selecting a trophy wife after their second divorce from a draft dodger in a red campaign hat before he hauled ass to play golf.

“In a stable democracy, the government’s legitimate use of force is guided by law, with clear boundaries that prevent abuses of power. However, in a fractured government experiencing a constitutional crisis, those boundaries blur.” www.theunpopulist.net/p/there-is-n...

“Contrast our president’s concern for South Africa with his indifference—at best—to the fate of the Ukrainians. Has he ever expressed a word of sympathy for the Ukrainians—or the Uyghurs and others—who are under annihilationist assault day after day?” www.jaynordlinger.com/p/eternal-vi...

Jeffries: The notion that they are going to try to benefit those who use tanning beds, but rip away hospital beds from people all across this country—including in rural America—says it all, which is why this bill needs to be defeated.

This administration will go to any lengths to keep the public in the dark. Transparency? Why would America deserve that.

Warnock: You literally have, in real time, the leader of another nation-state—in this case, South Africa—there to talk to him about trade, and he’s saying, “Sorry, Mr. President, we don’t have a plane to offer you.” And you see why we have an Emoluments Clause in the first place.

Well tha- Hey

RFK Jr. said multiple times during his house and senate hearings today that no scientists have been fired from federal agencies. Our reporting has shown that hundreds, if not thousands, of scientists have been let go from NIH/CDC/FDA

How many Americans will lose their healthcare under Republicans’ plan? Depends how you crunch the numbers. Let me explain. 🫠 #medicaid

Personalization, The Vastly Bigger Story Behind the Pimpmobile Jet Bribe talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/perso...

Just a reminder for any member of Congress who seems to have forgotten...

What we’re watching this week is the President of the United States using his public office to personally enrich himself. He’s using the office we put him in to take bribes from foreign governments. It’s everything our Founders feared. And we’re letting it all happen right before our eyes.

How about some basic rules? --All law enforcement officers should wear identification --No law enforcement officers should be allowed masks --All law enforcement officers should wear and use body cams ...oh and... --All law enforcement officers should understand, respect & follow the law

The Trump administration seems to think that tattoos matter, but only when convenient for the president's agenda, writes Ali Breland.

Crockett: I cannot wait until voters have an opportunity to say: You took food out of my mouth. You took a roof from over my head. You are responsible for making sure that I do not have health care. I'm going to make sure you don't have a job.

“The Trump administration is attempting to use the full force of the government to punish those who disagree with its support for Israel's war,” says @chrislhayes.bsky.social. “It’s the closest I’ve seen to McCarthyism in my lifetime.”

"Think of how much money we are making by letting our soybeans rot instead of selling them to China. We are going to be so rich!"

Fact check: Trump claimed the US doesn’t do “much business with Canada.” In reality, Canada is the world’s top buyer of US exports.

More chaos from the DWP, over undisclosed “operational changes” to its Access to Work scheme. It seems Government cuts to chronically ill & disabled people’s benefits has little to do with supporting them into work, & everything to do with eliminating expenditures. www.thecanary.co/uk/analysis/...

Reporter: I was watching your face during the meeting.. what was going through your mind when the President talked about erasing the border.. Carney: I’m glad that you couldn’t tell what was going through my mind Reporter: Oh I could

When the topic is women the conflict is that women are failing society. When the topic is men it's that society is failing them.

"I do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."

For folks saying,"Ignore the Pope thing! He wants to offend you! Don't you get it!" I have this rule I follow. I say what I think. I don't get into second order head games in which I think I'm outwitting someone else by strategically not saying what I think. Perhaps Im simple. But that's how I roll.

Looks like I will be on 60 Minutes on Sunday. That is me at the end of the clip.👀 www.youtube.com/watch?v=l1ef...

To all those who said boycotting Target was a waste of time. It wasn't. Keep it up, y'all!

I just read “Strongmen” by @ruthbenghiat.bsky.social Everything that this administration has done so far or wants to do has been done by numerous authoritarians over and over. The current WH occupant seems to be following portions of the playbooks of Mussolini and Burlesconi (Italy).

Ruth Ben-Ghiat @ruthbenghiat.bsky.social scholar of authoritarianism and author of ‘Strongmen: from Mussolini to the present’, analyses the rapid shift towards authoritarianism, personality cult, strongmen machismo and the potential for a female strongman. www.youtube.com/watch?v=xUMA...

To understand the claims that federal agents improperly executed a search warrant on an Oklahoma Mom & her daughters, you need background. Here’s the info on executing federal search warrants & whether there is any way to hold agents who get it wrong accountable. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

While it is understandable to focus attention on Trump’s attacks on democracy and the rule of law, we must not lose sight of the fact that it is the Republican Congress enabling his authoritarianism. Ignoring their complicity in Trump’s actions is a mistake—both legally and strategically.

Raskin: Our chairman… How does one go from a libertarian railing about the deep state and the fbi and the doj coming down on the rights of the people to becoming a supine submissive authoritarian who votes against providing basic due process rights for the people against the government?

Pritzker: I think all of us are deeply, deeply concerned about what's happening across the country, and of course, 100 days in, it's been, well, a disastrous administration for the American people

A better copy!

Analysts have written a lot about Trump attempting to bend reality to his will during his second term in office. In tonight's ABC clip, you can see him almost physically trying to do that with Terry Moran, in a borderline uncomfortable exchange.

**EVERY** **SINGLE** **ONE** needs this! Or, they'll just try a third time.

Walz: So, it's 100 days of just crap.. we’ve got 500 plus till the midterms, but the work has started

And this right here is why I love lawyers.
