I thought the government was trying to get rid of "DEI" in the military?? Maybe he was drunk when he ordered it? Maybe it's Maybelline?!

Remember the 6 men who forcibly removed Dr. Teresa Borrenphol from the Coeur d'Alene town hall? They’ve been arrested and charged! www.kivitv.com/news/six-men...

Unqualified and putting our nation at risk

G'day All:)

Dear senators who think you can’t do anything, Today, Senator Van Hollen - through diplomatic pressure - got a meeting with Abrego Garcia in El Salvador. So that thing you’re thinking about doing? DO IT. ~ All of Us

"We are all afraid…I am often times very anxious myself about using my voice because retaliation is real." So Lisa Murkowski and her pals that got us in this mess are going to stay silent? Fuck them. No sympathy. He didn't "learn his lesson", Lisa, did he and neither did you.

when he sends citizens to foreign concentration camps, it’s no longer a slide to authoritarianism—it’s full blown fascism! 😔 this is not an administration, it’s a criminal regime in a hostile takeover of 🇺🇸 democracy. #FightFascism #TraitorTrump #DefendLiberty 🔔

We keep hearing about "agreements" btw Trump and law firms or Trump and universities. Where are they? What are they? Are they really committed to paper? talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/why-a...

@booker.senate.gov: "Are we a nation that is going to tolerate this, or a nation that's going to stand up? As the great Frederick Douglass said, 'the limits of tyrants are prescribed by the people that they seek to oppress.' How much will we endure before we say enough is enough?"

“Hey, hey, Elon, How many kids did you kill today?” admittedly doesn’t rhyme as well as the original. But that’s not as important as Elon being responsible for the needless deaths of tens of thousands of kids.

NEW: Why have state attorneys general been behind so many — and some of the most effective — lawsuits pushing back against Trump’s policies, firings and immigration actions? Watch the newest episode of “Can They Do That?” with New Jersey Attorney General Matt Platkin. youtu.be/V1cwiIp3l3w

If you were looking for some good news, tesla has lost $330 billion in market value in just 25 days.

There's a reason Trump hates Marc Elias - he's literally distributing very important information (in an accessible way) that is normally ignored or glossed over by most media.

If the courts lose jurisdiction because the government puts the prisoner in a black hole then there is no law.

I kind of want to go

I'm watching CNBC. These anchors are so angry. They really didn't believe he'd do it. They're actually just now, 10 years into this shit, realizing he's a maniac hellbent on revenge and there's no grand plan for the markets. Better late than never but holy shit.

It’s still hard to believe the simple fact that this is all self-imposed. Everything that’s happening right now wasn’t the result of some foreign adversary destroying the country. We did this all to ourselves by electing the dumbest motherfucker to ever rule a nation.

Did you get that? 👇 I sure as hell did. 🌈 Reagan. Was. An. Asshole. ✨

I realize not everyone will have the courage to oppose the reckless authoritarianism of the Trump regime but even I, The Most Cynical Person In The World, did not expect the toadying and fence-jumping to be this omnipresent.

Six SCOTUS judges, set the stage for a felon to become president of the good USA. Any surprises here?

hey, Sen. Ernst and Sen. Tillis- proud of your votes for Hegseth? This is on your too as much as Hegseth. You knew he was not remotely qualified

Scooplet from me at @rawstory.com: Leo Terrell, the DOJ lawyer who heads Trump's Task Force to Combat Antisemitism, this week re-posted Patrick Casey, the former Identity Evropa leader, and the Hodgetwins, who regularly fawn over Hitler on their podcast. www.rawstory.com/raw-investig...

If you don’t know him yet, his name is Congressman Jake Auchincloss. Rep. Auchincloss is one of the (many) rising stars in our party. A clear, talented, effective communicator. Pay attention to him. Watch & share this.

Today FIRE wrote to a group of Trump administration officials demanding answers about the detention of Mahmoud Khalil, which appears straight out of an authoritarian playbook utterly repugnant to free speech and due process. www.thefire.org/news/fire-de...

So Musk’s people, who misread $8 million as $8 billion, who counted the same contracts multiple times and counted as savings programs that ended last year, claim that their AI is finding lots of Social Security fraud. Why should anyone worry?

g'day:)

G'day:)

NEW: Trump's defense lawyer and pick for deputy attorney general, Todd Blanche, has been the subject of more profiles than you have fingers and toes. (Well, almost.) Is there anything else to say about his selection? Actually, yes. My latest for @maddowblog: www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

Did it ever occur to that maybe you are not depressed. Or anxious. What you are is a human being living in an inhumane world. Everything is against your sense of what is right. So many people doing evil things and then acting as though they are “Christian” moral crusaders. You must realise this.

@jameshamnba.bsky.social I do not swear ordinarily, but fuckfuckfuckfuckfuck... Mike Brown is gone; disintegration begins. I'm out. I'm gonna go Detroit in all things: Lions, Pistons, Tigers Ranadive can go play with the bigness of his littleness to his heart's delight...fuck him.

Now is THIS the face of a person who'd support cutting funds of research for kids with cancer? Yes. Yes it is.

Liberal outlets need to start doing “drumbeat” coverage of the real villains in America like the way right wing media pushes stories about immigrants and lgbtq. We need stories about evil insurance companies and church/cop pedos to highlight the rot of conservatism.

America will truly miss you, Sir!

I don't care what TIME says. MY Person of the Year is Kamala Harris. TIME got it wrong. So did America.
