I’ve asked it before and I’ll ask it again: where oh, where are all of those strict constitutionalists demanding that the executive branch’s power and reach is limited in their very, very very limited government view?

This is like opposing a joint resolution declaring that the Sun sets in the West America doesn’t just look like an idiot here, we look like goddamn Flat Earthers

🚨NEW: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is planning to fire Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff C.Q. Brown, a 4-Star General and 41-year veteran of the Air Force who flew over 130 hours in combat as a fighter pilot. REPOST if you stand with General C.Q. Brown against Hegseth!

"In other countries, this would be called 'an authoritarian coup.' In America, mealy-mouthed officials call our transition into a mafia state 'deeply troubling' and do little to curb the damage." -- HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT (2020)

Good Morning From The Drummer, My Friends.

Whitehouse: "Remember Trump-Russia? The Mueller report said there was Trump-Russia. The bipartisan Senate intelligence report said there was Trump-Russia. Repeated trials brought in evidence showing Trump-Russia. There was, is, and forever shall be Trump-Russia."

This story can't be repeated enough. The GOP is lined up behind the guy who is so incompetent that his quasi-gov't agency did this. They're confirming his highly questionable nominees & hurting the American people. And "accidentally"? It was stupidity, not accident. www.nbcnews.com/politics/dog...

A great clip about what Hochul would have to do to remove Adams. It’s a long road. To be clear, I think it’s a road she should travel. I personally think doing nothing is the wrong thing to do.

I was just an Education Department guy under Reagan and the most junior WH senior staffer under G.H.W. Bush, so what do I know? But if I were an ex-president, and the current president were executing the most disastrous turn in American foreign policy in 80 years, I think I might say something?

It's an utter farce to hold peace talks in Saudi Arabia with the U.S. and Russia without Ukraine. It’s like your arsonist neighbor and two people who don't even live anywhere near you deciding to remodel your house while it's on fire...without asking you what you want.

A vigilant individual used the @sandyhookpromise.bsky.social Anonymous Reporting System to flag concerns, preventing a potential mass school shooting in Indiana. This lifesaving system shows the difference that awareness & proactive reporting can make in saving lives.💚 apnews.com/press-releas...

He’s not making up: news.bloomberglaw.com/banking-law/... Is this really what y’all voted for? 🫤 💰

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

If she can show this sort of courage lawmakers can manage to take tough votes, agency heads can manage to refuse illegal orders. Bravery is contagious.

Stealing from one or two people is called "robbery." Stealing from everyone is called "tariffs".

Macklemore just dropped a freaking dragon… His new track breathes absolute fire about Trump, Elon, the state of things… 🎵 Yo, Elon, we know what that was 🎶 Track is “Fucked Up” open.spotify.com/track/7iZwny...

Classic!!

So Fucking Ridiculous

Why does Trump keep talking about annexing Canada? Because Hitler annexed Austria. Trump is following Hitler's playbook step by step. Why does Trump want to rename the Gulf of Mexico? Because Hitler renamed a bunch of places.

Interesting: the State Department’s procurement forecast detailing a $400 million order for "armored Tesla" has now been edited to "armored electric vehicles." The document shows the edit was made tonight at 9:12 p.m. -- after it was highlighted in reports

I know Elon has claimed he’s on the spectrum, and people have various theories on it, but what if he’s just a racist asshole who’s high on ketamine all the time?

Raskin: "Trump is suing CBS for $20b in damages because, check this out, he believes an interview with Kamala Harris produced too favorable an impression of her. That means I could sue Fox News because I think their interview with Trump produce too favorable an impression. I mean, this is lunacy."

ccf.georgetown.edu/2025/01/20/h... www.cbpp.org/research/hea... www.protectourcare.org/wp-content/u... www.pih.org/article/medi... THIS is what House magas want do to Medicaid: gut it, make work requirements for all, destroy its infrastructure, & make Medicaid unusable. Not exaggerating...

THIS is how Democrats should handle themselves! Who agrees? 💙

Dumb asses

House GOP wants $4 TRILLION dollar debt ceiling increase. You marks really thought the world’s richest man and the guy with the golden toilet seats were really going to “fight the elites” for you? Nah, they just want their tax breaks.

🚨🚨🚨 Trump just fired USAID inspector general Paul Martin—one day after he exposed how Trump’s foreign aid freeze & mass firings have made it easier for U.S. taxpayer dollars to fund terrorist groups like Hamas & ISIS.

Good Morning From The Drummer, My Friends.

Read the Constitution for yourself. Article II sets forth the powers granted to the President. This is the law: www.law.cornell.edu/constitution...

The CFPB is one of the American people’s best defenses against waste, fraud, and abuse. Demolishing it will, of course, lead to more waste, fraud, and abuse.
