The Trumps corruption and looting of the Treasury far and away eclipsing Teapot Dome, Boss Tweed and Crédit Mobilier

Go Seattle! Trump and Blanche think running the country is The Apprentice. A crap show with a crap lead. "You're fired" doesn't cut it against the U.S. Constitution. Where is Blanche with his snarky tweets now?

Judge Reinstates Seattle’s Top Federal Prosecutor, Ousted by Trump

The Justice Department had fired Roger Rogoff as part of a larger maneuver to install its preferred judicial appointees and circumvent Senate confirmation.

"President Trump is such an awful human being that just writing about him feels degrading... when someone as morally warped as Trump... something bad is going to happen to us as a result. We and our children are going to pay for this, and not only at the gas pump." Friedman warning us all - again

Opinion | Trump Is Going Viral in the Worst Ways

On the technological, diplomatic and biological fronts, Trump is creating a disaster.

What the hell? Are we in North Korea?? Chilling, absolutely chilling.

Brace for it - come October, the Facist-in-Chief will deploy federal agents to polling places in swing districts. When counter demonstraters respond, he will federalize National Guard troops and seize or close polling places. It's all about voter suppression. He is desperate. Stand up, speak out!

He thinks so little of us that for $5000 we'd sell out our integrity to him

So we're supposed to pretend he's on the midterm ballot, that gas prices will drop "right after the elections" and if that isn't enough - everyone gets a $5,000 bribe?

With the Ninth Circuit holding Trump cannot bypass Senate confirmation of United States Attorneys, pretenders in Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Seattle and Spokane should resign immediately. Every District Court in the U.S. with these phonies should replace them according to law as is underway in Seattle.

“Requiring Senate confirmation of U.S. Attorneys is a critical part of maintaining political independence in our system of justice and the unchecked appointment of his MAGA loyalists is a threat to the rule of law.”

Trump/Blanche won't get away with openly trashing the U.S. Constitution, appointing U.S. Attorney "sock puppets" without Senate confirmation

Seattle U.S. Attorney’s Office is in constitutional crisis, full stop | Editorial

The conflict between federal court in Seattle and the DOJ is a constitutional crisis between the president and the U..S Senate. It's clear who's in the right.

What's up Bluesky

I think more people fell for culture war bullshit before the party peddling it started sending death squads to round people up for concentration camps.

Shocking - even from fascist Stephen Miller

Stephen Miller, who wants the U.S. to steal Greenland and shake down Latin America, says: ”We live in a world … that is governed by force, that is governed by power. These are the iron laws of the world since the beginning of time.” That‘s a criminal pretending that a civilized world is impossible.

“We have an autocratic leader seeking power and aggrandizement through the conquest of territory and resources. In addition to Venezuela, Mr. Trump has threatened to attack Cuba, Colombia, Mexico and Iran while musing about the annexation of Greenland, the Panama Canal and even Canada.” - Ben Rhodes

That Attorney General Bondi claims Maduro will face "the full wrath" of the U.S. Justice system, proves she does not understand its mission of "ensuring fair and impartial justice by enforcing federal laws and defending U.S. interests." Fair and impartial - not wrathful.

Repulsive, outrageous violation of international law - throw in the violations of the U.S. Constitution and this U.S. President is a bonafide outlaw.

Looking forward to this New Years Day curling up with my iPad to watch the deposition of the great Jack Smith - making we DOJ alumni proud. His courage and commitment to the rule of law under personal threat is truly an inspiration.

Happy New Year! Wishing everyone a fresh start! Counting on 2026 to be the year America reminds itself and the world that we are dedicated to democracy and freedom, not despotism.

Trump's racist comments about Somali people in the United States (calling them "garbage") and saying they should go back to their own country (even American citizens) prove one thing - the President is an unapologetic RACIST

Issa Rae has canceled her sold out performance at the Kennedy Center. Pulitzer Prize winner Rhiannon Giddens, Peter Wolf, Low Cut Connie, and the Gay Men’s Chorus of Washington, D.C., have also canceled. Lin-Manuel Miranda has canceled the entire Kennedy Center run of Hamilton.

Forgiving those who voted to let him run the country will take every ounce of my Christian forgiveness

Joe Biden’s fatal flaw was relying on the reluctant institutionalist Merrick Garland to prosecute the case of insurrectionist Donald J Trump. Had Garland done his job, Trump would have been banned from office and America and the world would not be in this predicament.

Someone should put up one of those running tally Times Square billboards that keeps track of the cost to undo what Trump is doing.

Every Republican Senator has the blood of ICE, CECOT and the First Amendment on their hands. Long after Trump is gone, we will remember their complicity and reject their pathetic claims of innocence, ignorance or secret opposition.

Remember this racist remark by the Vice President of the United States

JD Vance: "In the United States of America you don't have to apologize for being white anymore"

So the "most transparent president in history" won't let Jack Smith's testimony become public. He's got them holding back tens of thousands of Epstein documents, haven't seen his taxes, his school records, and no one knows why the East Wing was destroyed before he even had ballroom plans. Yeah.
