It is, uh, not great to find out that a ton of american politicians really crave having secret police.

In amongst all the excitement I fear many have missed this outstanding bit of trolling by Friedrich Merz. The Chancellor gifted Trump a gilded framed copy of his grandfather’s German birth certificate... reminding Americans that Trump is both the child and grandchild of migrants.

When the worst person you know gets bitten by a snake, you don’t try to befriend the snake. You observe said biting from a considerable distance and enjoy the schadenfreude.

No it’s actually fine that the President of the United States has to be tricked into paying attention to his security briefings like a toddler who needs to eat vegetables and believes his predecessor was killed and replaced by clones and robots. You’re just condescending to conservative culture.

I spent ten years attacking universities as illiberal and overly woke. Now that the Trump administration is using my rhetoric to destroy American science and higher education, I am horrified but not horrified enough to apologize.

This should be seen as evidence of the crisis: federal judges fear that Trump will order U.S. Marshals to stand down on securing the safety of judges whose decision they don’t like. This is just devastating. www.wsj.com/us-news/law/...

Every single segment on cable news about Jake Tapper's book talking Biden is one less covering Trump's corruption, his war on our Constitution and his crimes! And that is by design.

Again, why do they dress like a band of highwaymen instead of a properly constituted police force? They’re inside the security envelope of a public courthouse.

This is kinda funny but think about that….one of the most notorious police states in history, USSR, didn’t have people running around in masks…it’s a small but important marker on our journey to democracy’s junkyard.

The President is never off the clock. These are not the President’s personal friends. These are people who paid money for favors from a man who gives/takes America’s money illegally to/from whomever he wants. This is bribery in plain sight and Rs dgaf and won’t act until they’re more afraid of us.

In March, 2024 Elon said he wasn't going to donate to either presidential campaign. A few months later he spent a quarter of a billion dollars to elect Donald Trump. Don't listen to what he says. Watch what he does. Then join a #teslatakedown action in your community.

The current President is taking bribes from anyone who’ll offer them but I’m so glad Alex Thompson and Jake Tapper are not letting that distract them from the fact that the former President who just got diagnosed with cancer is also old.

The reality of our government is that it's a sprawling and occasionally inefficient system because you can't deliver services to 330 million people without having to deal with edge cases, and to someone who doesn't know the edge cases, that looks like waste or fraud www.nextgov.com/digital-gove...
