Nothing says “dying civilization” like gladiator fights at the capitol for the emperor’s amusement.
Please tell me "I'm not a rapist. I'm not a pedophile" is going to be quoted for 50+ years the same as "I am not a crook" has been.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 3mo agoO'DONNELL: In his manifesto, he wrote that 'I'm no longer willing to permit a pedophile, rapist, & traitor to coat my hands with his crimes.' TRUMP: I'm not a rapist. I'm not a pedophile. You read that crap from a sick person. You should be ashamed of yourself, reading that. You're a disgrace.
BREAKING: COURIER’s Nina Burleigh talks to former model and friend of The Trumps, Amanda Ungaro, about Melania’s relationship with Epstein, Paolo Zampolli’s personal life, and whether or not she's ready to testify.
The Woman Who Knows Too Much: An Interview with Amanda Ungaro
Last week, Melania Trump issued a mysterious six-minute statement from the White House podium in language couched in legalese, denying that she was friends with Jeffrey Epstein and threatening “those ...

I don’t give a damn what Thiel thinks about the Antichrist. But given how much clout he has in both Silicon Valley (where the AI he helped midwife threatens to take over the world) & DC (where the VP he helped midwife threatens to take over the nation), his views on End Times are worth looking at.
Apocalypse (Any Day) Now
Who is the Antichrist, anyway? And why is Peter Thiel so obsessed with him?

This is why military service members should refuse to follow illegal orders. Because when the shit hits the fan, Trunp and Hegseth will deny everything and blame you. bsky.app/profile/acyn...
Acyn@acyn.bsky.social · 8mo agoReporter: Does the administration deny that that second strike happened or did it happen and the administration denies that Hegseth gave the order Leavitt: The latter is true
Gazans are starving anntelnaes.substack.com/p/gazans-are... (And a reminder since there will be people who try to change the narrative of this cartoon: Criticizing the Israeli government and its policies is not antisemitic)
Holy shit -- Markwayne Mullin insists later in the interview again that Obama oversaw actually oversaw the sweetheart deal with Epstein, even after Tapper (accurately) fact-checked him. Yikes.
The German term for forcing institutions to become in sync with the demands of an authoritarian movement is "Gleichschaltung"
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · last yr.Linda McMahon: "Universities should continue to be able to do research as long as they're abiding by the laws and in sync, I think, with the administration and what the administration is trying to accomplish."
When I called a few weeks ago, @duckworth.senate.gov’s staff told me she would no longer vote for any Trump appointments. I don’t appreciate being directly lied to by my senator.
Matt Novak@paleofuture.bsky.social · last yr.16 Dems just voted to confirm Trump's ambassador to China, David Perdue: Booker (D-NJ) Coons (D-DE) Duckworth (D-IL) Fetterman (D-PA) Gallego (D-AZ) Hassan (D-NH) Kaine (D-VA) Kim (D-NJ) King (I-ME) Klobuchar (D-MN) Peters (D-MI) Reed (D-RI) Rosen (D-NV) Shaheen (D-NH) Slotkin (D-MI) Warner (D-VA)
Thrilled my country is trying to throw itself off a cliff so my kids can work in the toaster factory for a quarter of what I make.

Under normal political conditions, I'd think we're there (or very close to there). Against the backdrop of stochastic violence expectations in the US, probably still a ways to go. (Legitimate fear that going against Trump gets you shot in a country with ~1.2 guns per capita.)
Not only will they retaliate, their retaliation will be far more coordinated and targeted than during the first-term trade quarrels he picked, and they hoped would blow over.

None of these Democrats should enjoy a moment's peace. Cortez Masto (NV) Durbin (IL) Fetterman (PA) Gillibrand (NY) Hassan (NH) Peters (MI) Schatz (HI) Schumer (NY) Shaheen (NH) They've effectively just voted for Donald Trump's agenda without putting up a fight. Never let them hear the end of it.
Yo @durbin.senate.gov, no one is picking up your Senate phone and you don’t even have a voicemail. Vote no on cloture and the spending bill or I will do whatever it takes to make sure the next Senator from Illinois has basic constituent services set up during business hours.
Ce soir plus que jamais aux côtés des ukrainiens et de Volodymyr Zelensky. Dans ces tempêtes où les vents mauvais soufflent forts, rassemblons nous derrière le président ukrainien. Il s’agit de nos valeurs, il s’agit de notre démocratie, il s’agit de notre liberté. Nous vaincrons. Slava ukraini !
Dear Volodymyr Zelenskyy, dear Ukrainian friends, you are not alone.
i think it has not sunk in for people, including newspaper headline writers, that "probationary" employees does not just mean like, young novice staffers right out of college, but those who have received promotions in the last year
The chances of a permanent rupture between the EU and the US are gradually increasing
News Eye@newseye.bsky.social · last yr.BREAKING: France, Germany, Poland, Italy, Spain & UK sign a joint statement vowing to protect Ukraine’s sovereignty & demanding a role in the peace talks. This is leadership. It’s also unprecedented. A western alliance is having to form against a new, twin & united threat: Trump & Putin.
Trump has outsourced the presidency to Elon Musk — no wonder Trump has time to serve as the Chair of the Kennedy Center. What could be more important than overseeing road companies of Broadway shows?
