So @RandPaul voted against Comey but voted for Patel. Simply crazy!

Here in Illinois, ten years ago we saw the consequences of a rampant ideological gutting of government. It genuinely harmed people. Our citizens hated it. Trust me ā€“ I was elected based in part on just how much they hated it.

No, but if youā€™re looking for one, I am aware of a guy you work with that was indicted four times and convicted of thirty-four felonies.

I don't think the Dems can stop the firings. But why aren't they proposing legislation that assures those that took the buyout get paid , and that all that are fired, get at least a year severance and health benefits? And any one with a health condition is covered the entire time they are sick?

fantasizing about a world where an opposition congress responds to trumpā€™s attempts to usurp legislative power by defunding the entire white house staff

Does Congress even remember that it has the power of the purse? www.law.cornell.edu/constitution...

Trump is surrendering America. Trump is the opposite of strong. He is a tiny, weak, small, scared, trembling, sissy, husk of a man. There is nothing manly about his fat, sweaty, smelly, gross, makeup'ed self An absolute joke

President Zelenskyā€™s approval rating in Ukraine stands at 57% (KIIS). Donald Trumpā€™s approval rating in the U.S. is 45% (Gallup).

I don't know who needs to hear this, but the original American patriots fought a fucking Revolutionary War to liberate ourselves from the rule of a king. This ain't the flex he thinks it is.

Russia isnā€™t our friend. Bush tried. Obama tried. Trump tried during his first term. Itā€™s an admirable goal, but it doesnā€™t work. No matter how much Trump capitulates to Putin, Russia wonā€™t be our friend.

Gov. Hochul: "Think about this next time you're stuck in traffic." www.youtube.com/watch?v=mhFl...

Trump is a pathological liar, example #8567. Yesterday on Air Force One, Trump claimed Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent was treated ā€œrudelyā€ in Kyiv and that Zelensky was ā€œunavailable to meet him.ā€ One problem: they met. Itā€™s on video. WATCH.

Blumenthal: "What world is he living in? It is not only contrary to the facts and the truth but utterly despicable. A disgusting betrayal of a country that has bled and fought and died for freedom ... the president's surrender is pathetic and weak."

Those that opposed Hitler were also threatened with death but had the guts to stand up anyway. Navalny stood up fearlessly to Putin. The felon is afraid of Putin and those in the GOP are afraid of the felon.

Crockett: He went from being the dork that was jumping around on stage to allegedly being this amazing genius that's gonna save a country he wasn't born in, and one that maybe he doesn't agree w/the idea of a democratic republic, considering the fact he may have been more on the side of apartheid.

Baldwin: "Last night, the president said 'I'm not touching Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, VA, I'm not touching them.' By this morning, he endorsed the House budget resolution which paves the way for massive cuts to Medicaid."

With all due respect, Congressman, heā€™s not trying to distract from anything here. Heā€™s a grandiose pathological narcissist. A narcissistic sociopath. A malignant narcissist. A psychopath. A megalomaniac. This is what he thinks of himself. And what he wants others to think of him.

Oh cool Trump just re-invented DARE.

I have long believed that not enough has been written about how GOP members have felt physically intimidated by Trump supporters. It doesnā€™t excuse their cowardice, but it still deserves more attention.

šŸšØBREAKING: A federal judge in Washington, DC has issued an order setting a path for the first round of discovery to be served in a lawsuit involving Trump and Muskā€™s efforts to restructure the government. Paige and I explain. youtu.be/QHzyeOXUWgM?...

An unconscionable post from Donald Trump about Zelenskyy, in which he calls him a "dictator" and threatens Ukraine's existence.

Spineless, yellow-bellied, lily-livered, weak-kneed, pusillanimous chickenshits.

ā€œZelensky survived a dozen Russian assassination attempts including a special forces assault on his presidential complex.He stood up to Trump. Iā€™m sure heā€™ll be deeply impressed to learn our Congressional Republicans live as terrified hostages of their own party leader.ā€ ~ @michaeldweiss.bsky.social

And you know who you have to blame for this, Nikki?

Zelenskyy's meeting with US special representative Kellogg has begun in Kyiv. The planned press conference after the meeting was canceled at the request of the American side

Thursdayā€™s front page of the British Daily Star. Putinā€™s Poodle

ā€œI will use every tool at my disposal to protect this country from Trump. I will litigate to defend voting rights until there are no cases left to bring. I will speak out against authoritarianism until my last breath. ā€œI will not back down. I will not bow or scrape. I will never obey.ā€

Correct. Heā€™s not capable of playing multidimensional chess. Or chess. Or checkers. Or tic-tac-toe. As one of his aides put it during Shit Show I, ā€œheā€™s just eating the piecesā€ on the board. Nothing he does is strategic. Heā€™s purely guided by narcissistic, sociopathic impulses at all times.

NEW: Two weeks ago gov't IT experts warned us that the worst case scenario would be if DOGE got full admin access to agency systems. We can report at at least one agency DOGE has unfettered "god mode" access. Our latest: www.theatlantic.com/technology/a...

President Zelenskyy has been one of the greatest leaders of our time, guiding Ukraine through the darkest period of its recent history, rising up to Russiaā€™s unwarranted aggression, being an inspiration to the Ukrainian people and ensuring that Ukraineā€™s voice is heard on the world stage.

Tyranny requires your fear, your silence, and your compliance. Democracy requires your courage.

It was an honor to sign the guest book in the home of Anne Frank. I was here as a younger man and thought about her life as a dark chapter of history. Today, I canā€™t help but think of her story as one of caution. Our world is fragile, and itā€™s incumbent on us not to break it.

Thank you to @maddow.msnbc.com for promoting @bsky.app on air and complimenting it. Her on air support is truly important

And the felon has the gall to dall Zelensky a dictator? Why are a republicans silent?? www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Congrats, America. We're now on Putin's side.

And fully half of it is a humiliating error where they mistake the value of a contract by 1000x confusing 8 million with 8 BILLION

Senators Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski, Joni Ernst, etc: Youā€™ve seen Hegseth, RFK Jr, and others give worthless assurances. Youā€™re now seeing the US appease Putin, and DOJ guardrails crumble. Are you going to let Kash Patel use the FBI against his enemies list and further destroy the rule of law?

American presidents donā€™t even joke about this. Just because heā€™s petty doesnā€™t mean this isnā€™t dangerous.

The root that tears apart your foundation begins as a seed of distrust, hate, and blame. The seed that grew into a dictatorship in Europe didnā€™t arrive overnight. It started with everyday Germans mad about inflation and looking for someone to blame.
