The Trump Administration: Making the Screwworm Great Again.
Anyways Dems should be doing slop ads of Donald Starting WW3 an draft your sons to die in a foreign land tomorrow
Exactly. Press secretaries getting fucked by compound questions is a political game as old as time. We shouldn’t “Well, actually…” and “Four Pinocchios” this shit. We should go on offense with it!
What in the Gestapo is going on in Grand Rapids? Watch this activist get arrested *mid-interview* for speaking out against U.S. action in Venezuela.
there is literally no engineering or science profession other than mechanical engineers which is even close to parity. tech workers literally donate to Democrats over Republicans by a factor of 17:1. and that 1 is almost entirely executives.
unbelievable. the canonical example of an illegal order in the Law of War Manual is "an order to fire upon the shipwrecked."
Senator Kelly is correct. Plus a Public Service Announcement: KEY section of Department of Defense's Law of War Manual is 18.3.2.1. The VERY rule on the "requirement" to refuse illegal orders gives as its paradigmatic example of what is "clearly illegal: "orders to fire upon the shipwrecked."
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 8mo agoMark Kelly on the Trump/Hegseth boat strikes: "If orders are illegal, not only do they not have to follow them, they are legally required not to follow them."
Dems openly calling on soldiers and officers to refuse illegal orders is a pretty big shift in rhetoric and it's good that this is happening.

GUY WHO GOT FIRED FROM THE NYT FOR BEING TOO CLOSE TO EPSTEIN: jesus christ these guys are being soft on trump
The NYT got pictures of Donald Trump with underaged girls and buried them

Hearing now that @chrismurphyct.bsky.social will allow the fast-tracking of the capitulation CR. If any senator objects, the bill passage could be delayed until Friday. But apparently zero Senators have objected to the scheduling motion on the hotline. Zero!
Chris Murphy@chrismurphyct.bsky.social · 9mo agoI got back to my office after the vote last night and recorded this. There's no way to sugarcoat what happened. And my fear is that Trump gets stronger, not weaker, because of this acquiescence. I'm angry - like you. But I choose to keep fighting.
they picked 8 people behind closed doors who are “safe” until I see a transcript of that caucus meeting, every Dem senator owns this so… primary this douche
Chris Murphy@chrismurphyct.bsky.social · 9mo agoIn response to this claim that the "strategy didn't work." The people were on our side. We were building momentum to help save our democracy. We could have won - the premium increase notices were just starting. And giving in now will embolden him. Things will likely get worse.
okay, so, with Dems successfully keeping anyone up in 2026 for voting for this turd let's take a look at who's up in 2026 anyway: 1. Cory Booker - apparently involved behind the scenes, constantly looking for bipartisanship. I don't dislike him personally but he doesn't have what we need. Primary.
"hear me out what if we let him gut basic programs and mail checks with his name on them to people" a fucking blight upon the earth, worse than nothing, we would be better off if any public official taking this position died even if it made the majority worse
it is literally just letting him gut the program and then put his name onto a check
if the Democrats are willing to accept this deal, in particular, i don't think a single Senator should make it through their primary. this just makes health inequity worse and lets Trump send out checks with his name on them!
Bill Grueskin@bgrueskin.bsky.social · 9mo ago"A development that appeared to break the logjam: Republicans proposed that healthcare funding be provided directly to households rather than used to pay for a 1-year extension of ACA subsidies. That involves sending federal money into FSAs instead of insurance companies" www.wsj.com/politics/pol...
The richest man on earth owns X. The second richest man on earth is about to acquire TikTok and his family could soon own both Paramount and Warner Bros. The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post. See the problem here?
So you should really watch this. Just 2 minutes. But a window into the truly radical nature of the people Trump is nominating. When pressed today, the nominee to be Ambassador to South Africa refuses to oppose reinstituting laws to prevent black people from voting in America.
just go to the protests take whatever precautions you personally feel comfortable with but these are massive, joyful events, go and have fun

regardless of the details I think it’s important to spin the Kimmel thing as a win Trump is weak, he’s unpopular, he massively overreached and inspired enough of a revolt that Disney had to backtrack immediately he wants to paint himself as an all-powerful dictator, paint him as a loser who sucks
