Remember the 90s when everybody only hurt sometimes.

partying hard after dinner on hump day: doing the dishes, the laundry, and prepping taxes, all while our democracy collapses around us!

On the left: Hegseth's message. On the right: the applicable CENTCOM classification guide provisions. This is all very plainly classified at the SECRET level. They all lied. They should all lose their jobs.

constitution.congress.gov/browse/essay... Laughably, bribery (and extortion) is business as usual. (see impeachment #1) The lot of them should be impeached, including the ringleader.

Question at dinner last night: 3 favorite bands in HS. Indecisiveness = bad at lists of favorites, but Oingo Boingo would still be high on the list if not the top. youtu.be/5PMjsY1MACU weirdly applicable today, although funhouse mirror style in the worst possible way.

takeaways: - they are true believers - they are not unintelligent - they are drunk with self- congratulatory hubris this is a disastrous mix and they're in the driver's seat.

There's a term for this: Wikipedia: "Extraordinary rendition is a euphemism for state-sponsored kidnapping in another jurisdiction and transfer to a third state. The phrase usually refers to a United States-led program used during the War on Terror,[1]...

did I say fuck Chuck Schumer? because seriously, fuck Chuck Schumer.

It’s not eliminating DEI. This is about erasing anyone who is not a white man from American history. Just say that.

Two Republican senators told me tonight this vote shows they can execute the same strategy again — cut Democrats out of the negotiations on a gov’t funding bill, pass it thru the House, and expect Senate Dems to back down and not filibuster it. “We liked it over here,” one said.

How badly do you have to fuck up being the Democratic leader that Trump is praising and congratulating you????

holy shit.

Schumer: We’re united as a caucus against this bill! Also Schumer: Except me, the caucus leader. I will vote in favor because I’m afraid.

Tell your Democratic senators not to join Schumer’s surrender: indivisible.org/resource/cal...

fucking Schumer

THIS. POTUS is explicitly attacking the 1st amendment. Don't bury the lead.

so, wtf is wrong with Gavin Newsome?!

complete abdication of Congressional power by the Republicans when the executive branch is already manufacturing "National emergencies" to implement senseless tariffs. Disgraceful.

the level of corruption here is stupefying, but unsurprising when you elect serial adulterers and abusers to the highest office.

happy gotcha day to this trio of troublemakers.

Call your rep and demand a congressional investigation. The Trump administration is rewarding those who break the law with personal gain.

Ok, I'm doing a version of this thread for 🧪 who are new to political conditions where info security is a safety issue: 1. Don't make public lists of people who are engaging in acts of resistance 2. Be weary of calls to advertise acts of subversion 3. Don't live post resistance meetings

Have you called your representative and senators about this yet? Especially folks (and your family members) in red states or with Republicans reps. They need to hear your voice NOW. newrepublic.com/article/1914...?

I'm sorry, is @nytpitchbot.bsky.social getting paid for the use of their content?

Gimli Hammerpaw appears non-plussed by Senshi Bigbooté's discover of the fetch game.

Not exaggerating when I say I would like a personal, handwritten apology from every pundit who barfed out a dozen "the left wants to change the way you talk!" op-eds based on non-mandatory guidelines in obscure PDFs.

Not that having a CEO as the head of government is a good thing, but if you had to do it, would you really pick one that's gone through 6 bankruptcies or one that tanked the revenue of a company after taking it over and only "builds" companies by buying his way into them?

One Roberts clerk, one former Gorsuch clerk, and one future Gorsuch clerk. All working for DOGE to help Musk usurp the government. Like I wrote earlier today, the courts are not going to stop this.

Great piece by @elienyc.bsky.social. Our institutions won’t save us. Only we can do that. Twas always thus, and always thus will be. Make sure to read the entite thing here: www.thenation.com/article/poli...

It's never been clear to me whether Elmo doesn't understand how much damage he will cause or that he doesn't care. In either case, this is catastrophic.
