Remember way back when a president being old, feeble, and senile was something Republicans were deeply concerned about?

Trump calls Gretchen Whitmer "Kristi -- uh, Kristi Whitman. Whitmer."

The Trump administration is playing a losing game of whack-a-mole trying to silence the growing chorus of critics.

"There are no sacred spaces in this regime of terror" @diptisbarot.bsky.social has a chilling new essay up on @huffpost.com Personal today about what her life is like as a doctor in the United States right now and it's absolutely terrifying
I’m A Doctor. The Things I’m Now Being Trained To Do In Trump’s America Are Terrifying.
“It was then I realized that I was being prepared to be a doctor in an emerging police state.”

I wrote this after doing a training on the Fourth and Fifth amendments to the Constitution, because, apparently, this is necessary to be a doctor under this regime. Grateful to @huffpost.com and, always, dream editor @noahmichelson.bsky.social for the platform. www.huffpost.com/entry/doctor...

Thanks to @huffpost.com and @noahmichelson.bsky.social for rerunning my piece as part of their "Best Of" series. Today is as good a day as any to remind ourselves of all the reasons our fundamental rights are worth fighting for.
"Our medical assistant came to me, panicked, and handed me a positive test. ... 'Run it again,' I sputtered — to buy some time and gather my wits and hope by some miracle it would produce a different result."
Enten: How many people watched Gavin Newsom's speech on just YouTube alone? Over 3 million folks. Joe Rogan, his average podcast episode over the last month has averaged only 1.6 million YouTube views, so Newsom's speech.. very, very popular.
By now, we've all seen the video of Senator Alex Padilla (D-CA) being forcibly removed and handcuffed for asking a question during Kristi Noem's press conference. But what Noem said just moments before the video was taken is "classic authoritarian red-baiting," points out @davidcorn.bsky.social.
California Sen. Alex Padilla was just forcibly removed from a DHS press conference and handcuffed. "I am Senator Alex Padilla. I have questions for the secretary." Video from @Elex_Michaelson on X via Padilla's staff.
This isn't treason in a post???? Is this not grounds for termination on sight!?! He literally said "PUTIN I PROTECTED YOU" and we're gonna ignore this?????? *Violent gesturing to the admittance of treason*
Nothing sadder than a tough guy who needs to remind you he's tough, right after admitting to shielding Russia.
Proud to stand with my fellow Iowans today to support @lettercarriers.bsky.social & say #HellNo to dismantling our postal service.
U.S. pushes nations facing tariffs to approve Musk’s Starlink, cables show “As the government of Lesotho negotiates a trade deal with the United States, it hopes that licensing Starlink demonstrates goodwill and intent to welcome U.S. businesses.”
Please repeat over and over: “Bending to the whims of a bully will not end his cruelty. It will only embolden him. The response to authoritarianism isn’t acquiescence. Bullies respond to one thing, and one thing only: a punch in the face.” —Gov. JB Pritzker
We all know what’s going on here at this point. The President is not going to stop until he is stopped once and for all by the federal courts.
That this is occurring in the United States of America is shameful. But this is what America is today. Until these times pass, it is impossible to say that we have “a government of laws, not of men,” as our Founding Fathers and the Framers of our Constitution intended and provided.
The President’s unprecedented Executive Order yesterday targeting Messrs. Chris Krebs and Miles Taylor for nothing but the exercise of their First Amendment rights is the President’s most constitutionally corrupt Executive Order to date.
Where's JD Vance to lecture Kid Rock about how to dress properly and respectfully to meet a president?!
Greenlands defenders are ready to defend Greenland, against any threat from US. #cdnpoli
Why isn't he wearing a suit? Did he even thank Greenland for letting him in?
Kristi Noem billed South Dakota taxpayers more than $640,000 in personal travel-related costs, including a six-day trip to Paris, a bear hunt in Canada, a trip to Houston for dental work to fix her smile, and a book tour. But she can afford a $50,000 Rolex for a prison porn photo op in El Salvador.
Kristi Noem refused to say who financed some of her travel. It was taxpayers who were on the hook
An Associated Press analysis of recently released travel records found more than $150,000 in expenses tied to Noem’s political and personal activity.
