Erick Erickson called Michelle Obama a “Marxist harpy” and Justice Souter a “goat fucking child molester” and that is who @nytopinion.nytimes.com has platformed as the person calling for a return to normalcy for the GOP
That’s the thing. DOGE didn’t dot any i’s or cross any t’s. They ransacked the govt illegally, destroyed careers, got many people killed, then burned all the documents on the way out the door. Demanding criminal investigations — including of libertarian-god-king Elon — is the moderate position.
Because the media needs this blue wave to appear as if it came from nowhere, like a rogue lightning bolt. Acknowledging the organizers and the protests reveals the lie they peddle: that this backlash has been building and building, and it's aimed as much at them as it is Tr*mp.
Yep. Cowards, all of them. And I don’t wanna hear ever again about fiduciary duty or some such crap.

It’s helpful for me to remember that the people who voted to overthrow the MAGA apparatus yesterday almost all knew only a *tiny fraction* of the harm it has done, thanks to our hostile media and network environments. And they still delivered a bloodbath.
An aspect of fascism is a nihilistic violence — not strategic, or really designed to achieve anything, besides the violence itself, and insecure men's feelings. Like Hegseth sharing video of boats blowing up. Or trying to do a livestreamed execution. Very good piece by @garethwatkins.bsky.social.
Liberal Currents@liberalcurrents.com · 3w agoPete Hegseth "is a loser, following an ideology by and for losers. That means that he is very concerned that other losers prove their devotion to the religion of death by showing indifference to human suffering." @garethwatkins.bsky.social writes today www.liberalcurrents.com/public-execu...
I don’t have a dress honouring Margaret Hamilton but I do have one for Katherine Johnson so will celebrate both of them and the other kickass women of NASA who were integral to Apollo mission success.

Marc Elias was called an alarmist for saying Trump would refuse to concede in 2020. Then came Jan. 6. “They want you to believe that Donald Trump may say some things, but in the end, he’ll accept the results,” Marc says. “I don’t believe that.” Stay in the know: https://demdock.com/3T3Owjg
The same Brendan Carr who wanted to investigate NBC because Kamala was on SNL? The same Brendan Carr who wanted to dismantle independent fact checking and accused them of being a “censorship cartel?” Periodic reminder that the corruption is a feature, not a bug.

Pardon power needs to be taken from the President. It is a vestige of monarchal society. Create a bipartisan committee that the President can refer candidates and let them decide.

Trump used the presidency to wipe out his own real estate debt while adding trillions to ours. If any worker did this with company funds, they'd be in handcuffs. The Oval Office has clearly become a personal ATM for him. #CorruptTrumpRegime
You know, there is a constitutional mechanism to remove a president who is unable to discharge the duties of his office.
Are they going to just do this until the election? Has any Republican been asked to react to Elon Musk's long record of outrages now that he's inserted himself in this election in a way Hasan Piker could only dream of?

It’s corruption on steroids in plain sight. He doesn’t even try to hide that he’s looting US and cashing in on insider trading. He’s the most corrupt president in American history.
If Nancy Pelosi had repeatedly told reporters she had no idea what was going on around her, the coverage would have been unsparing and vicious.
