This guy never served. He faked an injury to avoid the draft. None of his children have served. He called those who did serve their country "suckers and losers." He skipped the centenary memorial for servicemen who died in WWI because it was drizzling. This is more than usually repellent.
Hakeem Jeffries: "Republicans have adopted voter suppression as an electoral strategy because they have failed to actually deliver on making life more affordable for the American people. #ProudBlue #Pinks #SheShed
More than half of Americans have cut out eating out just to afford other necessities. That’s not belt tightening, that’s a country getting squeezed dry while corrupt Republicans pretend the economy’s fine. We don’t fix that by staying quiet. #BlueWaveIn90Days
Whitehouse: "Today I think is a sad and embarrassing day for this committee as it looks like on a party-line vote we are going to advance out of this committee probably the most discreditable person ever to seek the office of attorney general. Let's start with the Epstein files ... "
Let's all sit with the fact that the president wants to jail some random person who is self-evidently innocent. It's not surprising, but it's amazing that much of the media is almost completely disinterested in this fact.
Greg Sargent@gregsargent.bsky.social · 8h agoIt's funny that Jeanine Pirro brought a box of evidence to WH to persuade Trump. He wants her to consciously *throw out* exculpatory facts and *knowingly* prosecute innocent people. So facts can't persuade him by definition. Me and @barbmcquade.bsky.social on this: newrepublic.com/article/2139...
New reports reveal the Trump administration has detained over 50 military spouses and parents. ICE has fully deported at least 6 people and 8 family members of US service members remain in detention centers.
Since MAGA brought up Covid again..Some MAGA brains thought this was a good argument.
If you aren't angry then you aren't paying attention.
Stolen valor from Mr. Bone Spurs. An insult to every man and woman who has worn the uniform.

Republican power grabs in Kansas and Missouri are going down in flames with 18-25% of votes reported so far. Missouri's Amendment 4 aimed to make citizen-initiated constitutional amendments practically impossible. Kansas' Amendment 1 was designed to flip the state Supreme Court to ban abortion
So you must ask -why is the entire Republican Party & the Supreme Court bowing down to kiss the butt of this creep this criminal this jerk?
The Tennessee Holler @thetnholler.bsky.social · 22h agoWATCH — Sen. @chrismurphyct.bsky.social on Trump’s insider trading: “If you pay Trump $100,000 a month, he will give you early access to White House announcements on economic and trade policy. None of this is normal, and a lot of this is illegal.”
We are deciding whether we want to be a country of ethnic cleansing and concentration camps.
Indivisible ❌👑@indivisible.org · 2d agoBREAKING — Another person died at Delaney Hall. The family of Edwin Lopez Cornejo (age 39) said he was not receiving the medications required to treat his diabetes, and blames his death on the lack of medical care (via USA Today). www.usatoday.com/story/news/n...
We’re told we can’t afford to keep labor and delivery care in rural Maine. But Susan Collins sure seems to always find the money to give billionaires another tax break. MaineHealth must vote to keep Miles Labor & Delivery open. Lincoln County deserves better. We all do.
Our fight has never changed. From universal healthcare to reproductive rights to dependable childcare, now's our time to say to the system: This isn't working.
The orange felon is now selling early access to his truth social propaganda posts to Wall Street firms through a service that he just launched and he’s charging $100K a month fee for that shit. This criminal literally commits fraud and corruption every single day. He should be in jail.

We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again: we won’t stop fighting against the $1.776 billion slush fund until we have legally binding documentation that it is dead.
Locking up librarians and booksellers in AR. Locking up women who travel out of state for healthcare in TX. Locking up people for being brown in pretty much every state. Anyone seeing a pattern here? And don't forget, due process is only available if you can afford it.
Ah yes, the classic 'protect women by making sure they submit to exams they never asked for.' Real champion of privacy there.
@iowasufferagete.bsky.social · 2d agoSo this person who has more money than brains who says he's protecting women and and their sports is actually subjecting them to either unneeded physical exams in the vaginal area or unneeded blood test. You're not protecting anybody but your damn hurt feelings.
I HOPE SHE LOSES HER FUCKING LICENSE
Harry Litman@harrylitman.bsky.social · 2d agoIrony doesn't begin to capture the situation if Jeanine Pirro winds up losing her job for towing Trump's barge through 100% false and corrupt waters all the way to the very edge of the waterfall she was about to plunge over. substack.com/@harrylitman...
Every Republican member of Congress either has their entire identity wrapped up in ingratiating themself to Trump or is terrified of getting on his bad side and getting a primary challenger and death threats. I can’t imagine either of those things transferring to Vance or pretty much anyone.
Two senators on their way out the door. Nothing left to lose. Total leverage. And they traded it for a memo. A piece of paper. Cornyn and Tillis folded like lawn chairs, and everybody knew they would. Again.
To be clear, there were never “Republican holdouts,” the fascists were always going to vote in favor of placing personal crook Todd Blanche in the office of Attorney General permanently because criminals will always elevate criminals.
The morgues were so full they couldn't handle any more bodies so they brought in trucks and piled the bodies in cold storage for when they could get to them, and yet this lying New Yorker tries to tell us not to believe our eyes and ears. This regime seems to forget we have TV and internet now.
