Trump is not just the worst president, but the worst US citizen of my entire lifetime. A world historical failure of humanity and morality. He and his wicked entourage have burdened us with the task of repairing his damage and eradicating his evil legacy for the rest of our lives.

this ossoff guy not only for squarely landed a hit on these freaks, but he gave the absolutely, unassailably correct response to the pearl clutching: these are adult public figures on the public payroll. no one gives a shit about how they feel. that's the only response it deserves. quit if youre sad

Stupidity or Treason?

Trump allies himself w/Kim Jong Un against South Korea: “Based on my very good relationship w/Kim Jong Un, I am not happy that the US has agreed to Joint Military Exercises…I recently asked the President of SK if they would like to join us in the Denuclearization of Iran, & they said, ‘No thanks!’”

Karoline, No Surfer girl Leavitt had fun fun fun sending out good vibrations from the sloop Don T, but I guess she just wasn't made for these times. Will she sail on to kokomo for a surf safari or help like Rona at the RNC? God only knows. by Maureen Dowd

Something there hasn't been nearly enough of is promises of specific consequences like this, as a way of deterring present corrupt behavior. Let's at least make them consider the possibility that we might have a real government again someday

Former DOJ anti-trust chief Jonathan Kanter, on CNBC, says firms purchasing the Truth Social API could find themselves -- four years from now -- being "investigated for insider trading. .. Traders who use this service need to be careful." @cnbc.com $DJT

I think part of the pundit crack-up has been that they missed the big call of their lifetimes about which was the bigger threat to America: wokeness or authoritarianism. And rather than admitting that, they are doubling down on wokeness, while ignoring an authoritarianism that does not threaten them

Normally I just appreciatively read @jamellebouie.net 's columns-sharable video content just isn't my bag. But this is a very, very, very trenchant piece of commentary that captures a lot of how I increasingly understand the disjunction between the commentary environment and on-the-ground politics.

we literally stand on the shoulders of giants. towering figures who have exited the world. fierce intellects who believed things like "you can ban or regulate dangerous stuff" and "societies can rein in excesses," and "peace is generally preferable to war and chaos." may as well have been aliens

i am so sick of wasting all of our goddam money on stupid bull shit that doesnt work

".. The robot arms would swing out of control, smashing into carefully calibrated equipment, and sometimes they would unexpectedly drop hunks of steel 5 feet down to the floor." @propublica.org $GD www.propublica.org/article/gene...

The failure of Biden and Garland to seriously lay down the hammer after J6 on both the insurrectionists, and more importantly, the politicians who enabled them will go down as a failure on par with the failure of reconstruction. A historic fumble I will go to my grave thinking this.

if woke 3.0 or whatever sweeps in one advantage it would have over the reactionaries is, the list of people needing to be hauled out of their homes and put on trial is like, comparatively tiny. few billionaires, trumps family and cabinet, etc. -- dont have to declare war on whole states like they do

these guys need to go to jail for this, theres no coming back from this without it

Video of an ICE agent pulling a gun on a wife and mother, who is a US citizen born and raised in the area, near Bailey's Crossroads in Northern Virginia yesterday. Chillingly, they claimed she “almost ran them over” until she told them she had video proving that was a lie.

the only smart move would be to remove this idiot from office, and go apologize and surrender. that's about all we got now

Yes Part of the reason public meetings and voting and such exist is because if you don’t give people official channels for expressing their grievances, they’re likely to turn to unofficial ones, and a lot of those involve violence

war crimes aside, I am increasingly irritated at how much of our time and energy is eaten up by this tiny little country that treats us like dog shit and still expects endless money and deference. we have our own problems

CNN had Abdul El Sayed on last. night and asked him five questions in a row about Israel and zero on healthcare, affordability, housing, or local Michigan politics.

"Election officials and lawyers noted how surreal it is, even after a decade of Trumpism, to treat the nation’s duly elected president as the primary threat to the freedom and fairness of American elections." Yes. Always keep this front and center.

disturbing the level of resources & time that election officials, elected Dems, & others across the U.S. are devoting to preparing for if Trump tries to sic ICE, troops, or armed feds on their polling sites @justinglawe.bsky.social & I take you behind the scenes on how: zeteo.com/p/inside-dem...

tldr: where the FUCK is all the money and what did they do with it

You can never just move on from this, even after he's gone. Without punishment and ostracism for everyone who has participated in his crime spree over the last 18 months you can forget it- we're all just treading water until the next tyrant

FLASH: Justice Dept seeks to dismiss Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool criminal case against former Olympian David Hearn Trump Admin acknowledges: "Damage to the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool in June 2026 was the result of flawed installation by the contractor"

It’s extremely rude to refer to fetterman as a “democrat”

this is your mission. our pedophile president needs you to hang out in the middle east while he starts the same war every day. when a missile blasts you into pieces he'll say your last words were "we must build a new ballroom in the white house" before your body is even cold. good luck soldier

Trump on fallen US troops: "All of them said very strongly, 'We cannot let Iran have a nuclear weapon.'"

THAT IS NOT HOW THE AMERICAN JUSTICE SYSTEM IS SUPPOSED TO WORK! THE PENALTY FOR “FAILURE TO COMPLY” IS NOT A FUCKING DEATH SENTENCE!

Homan on people getting killed by ICE: "It comes down to one simple fact -- these people failed to comply with law enforcement ... all they had to do is comply. If they did, they'd be alive today."

stuff like this is why one important avenue for court reform is just nixing the shadow docket altogether and forcing these people to explain themselves to the public when they issue orders. also, making their records property of the united states and subject to publication when they leave the bench.

Alex Aronson@alexaronson.bsky.social · last mo.

Amy Coney Barrett just told Congress that it would be inappropriate to explain the reasoning behind the Court’s unreasoned shadow docket orders. As if unreasoned judicial orders are a thing. They are not. The reasoning is the whole point.

The White House launched 25 Freedom Fuel gas stations, all selling fuel at $3.47 a gallon.

Real idea: As part of the effort to get DC and PR statehood, next Dem president should invent about State Weeks. Each of the 52 states gets its own celebration week every year. A random July week is Montana week. Tourism bonanzas. Televised lottery every year for week placement. We ain't above this.

In better news, John Oliver's three-day stint/stunt as a corporate villain on legendary soap opera "General Hospital" appears to be going... fucking brilliantly?? I have watched this clip on a loop for like 20 mins I really, truly need to see the full episodes NOW

If Washington hadn't already been a place of normalized corruption, it wouldn't have appealed to him. If it was a place where people actually went to serve and any capital gains entered an inaccessible public trust? He'd never have run. Corruption attracts corruption. Little surprise it drew Trump.

really cannot be emphasized enough that the drafters of the birthright clause very much considered cases analogous to undocumented immigrants and *included them too*

BLUESKY BATMAN: Sorry if I'm not in the mood for "jokes" while SCOTUS shreds our constitutional rights

can’t tell yall enough what a breakthrough it was for me to learn from this interview that most people just want to feel like they’re being obeyed they rarely follow up on whether you actually obey them
