Proof we got RFK lying on the record during his confirmation hearing (a crime). RFK should be referred to the DOJ for criminal investigation, and when Democrats retake the Senate, he will be at the top of the list of Trump officials I will hold accountable for endangering American families.

In terms of people who would otherwise have lived dying there’s a case for it being the worst thing any leader has done this century, easily one of the worst, but people usually on about Amerikkka are often silent because it is something good the US was doing that stopped in the worst possible way

I bet you forgot that in Davos this year Trump, calling for annexing “a piece of ice in a poorly located region”, confused Greenland for Iceland. Four times. m.youtube.com/watch?v=HRjN...

Shortly after taking office last year, Pete Hegseth polled the nation's top commanders about cutting a program designed to protect civilians during U.S. military operations. Every commander rebuffed the idea. He did it anyway.

Remember when it was a months-long scandal on the right when the Biden admin allegedly pressured Twitter to take down a few posts? Funny the crickets around the US government openly seeking to have people arrested and deported for their speech.
Kyle Cheney@kyledcheney.bsky.social · 2d agoBREAKING: A federal judge in California has ruled that the Trump administration violated the First Amendment when it used security-related justification to revoke the legal status of students who expressed views it didn't like. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
The predictable Discourse is starting and I'm going to take a strong stand here: you can both want to abolish ICE and laugh really, really hard at Milo Yiannopoulos getting arrested by ICE after a decade of stoking the ethnonationalist hatred that led us to this point
The Milo stuff is the perfect picture of fascism. You think you're protected because you go as big as you can on racism, you spend years harassing the movement's perceived enemies, you even disavow your own sexuality. They'll still throw you in a cage over the tiniest disagreement already forgotten.
I need every Democrat running for Congress to pledge to establish, staff, and fully fund the Department of Clawing Back Every Goddamned Nickel From These Goddamned Crooks.

The human beings in chains shown in this photograph were living and working legally in the United States, contributing to US firms and communities and public coffers and churches, until the US Administration decided to *revoke* their legal status—due to no action of theirs.
At least 65 American citizens are reportedly missing after the Nepal floods—and the U.S. is deploying just $500,000 for emergency relief assistance?
this is an amazing portrait of memory loss, not to say historical revisionism no Truman, Eisenhower, JFK, LBJ, Nixon, Ford, or Reagan — telling
This is the funniest goddamn thing. No Reagan or Bushes. McKinley getting a charity “average” while Coolidge gets the shaft.

The greatest crime of all: embarrassing the president with the truth of what happened
emptywheel@emptywheel.bsky.social · 4d agoFirst Frank Kendall and now Anthony Guglielmi (who has played a key role in helping Trump cover up embarrassing things) scapegoated for the Turkey leak.

You’re in the fucking Senate, one of the only institutions that has the power to do anything to stop this, and here you are crying out into the void hoping someone, somewhere, will have the courage to stand up to Trump.
