Pete Hegseth's murderous buffoonery, coming amid a lifetime in which he's betrayed everyone close to him and failed up from one disaster to the next, is a perfect example of how the appeal of Trumpism is that it creates a permission structure for people to openly be their worst selves

Well, gas is expensive, and food is expensive, and we’re doing a war nobody wants, but at least there are no jobs

For those keeping track, we’re at the “secretary of war announces genocide” stage of the US descent into fascism.

Oh.

“We have agreed” — how nice of them! Surely they’re doing this work pro bono right?

It's 1992, there's a Republican president with a war in the middle east and a recession.

It's 2008, there's a Republican president with a war in the middle east and a recession.

It's 2026, there's a Republican president with a war in the middle east...

John Ryan ... A nation that can instantly fund war but debates funding healthcare has a values problem, not a budget problem.

This 😏👇

Just thinking about what we could do with a billion dollars a day that doesn’t include bombing people.

Horrifying. Jesus Lord in heaven.

It’s looking increasingly likely that Kristi Noem and Lewandowski funneled almost 200 million in government money to a company that is run by her friend and that nobody can give an address for.

Oh, and it was 8 days old when it was awarded the contract.

kind of crazy that if you have enough money and don't like what you see in the media, you can just buy up every film studio, news station, and social media app and change it

You know what truly infuriates me?

That a handful of wealthy elites, driven purely by greed, are destabilising, empoverishing, polluting the world for their own gain, whilst the vast majority of ordinary people reject their corrupt and self-serving agendas!

And this should infuriate ALL of us!

TWEET OF THE DAY 🏆

Our entire health insurance system is a scam. These aren't companies they're for-profit parasitic mafia middle men providing nothing of value and getting in between you and your doctor. We need to BAN private health insurance and do single payer medicare for all now.

$1.5T military budget
$170B on ICE & Border Patrol
$100B on tax cuts for the 1%
$20B from Treasury for Argentina
$1B to refurbish Trump's Qatar jet
$500M sending National Guard into cities
$250M on Kristi Noem's jets
$100M+ on Trump's golf outings
$75k for Kash Patel's Olympic trip

Priorities.

The Minneapolis Police Dept is now outnumbered and outgunned 3:1 by an out of state white supremacist gang with military grade weapons.

That's how we need to think and talk about this.

70% of ICE detainees have no criminal convictions, according to govt data.

Don’t fall for Trump’s lies about targeting the “worst of the worst.”

As ICE terrorizes cities to fill up detention centers, remember that some of Trump's major donors are private prison corporations.

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter.

I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

this is why you must always oppose every act an imperialist country does, because then they’ll soon come for everyone

🚨🚨

So we’re just announcing foreign strikes and kidnappings of foreign leaders on social media now? No Congress. No explanation.

This is madness.

Ah, the fucking hypocrisy.

Funny how regime change is always “necessary,” “temporary,” and “different this time.” And yet it always ends the same way: chaos, suffering, and a long list of apologies that never come.

I’m thinking this morning about all the people I spoke to last year who were absolutely convinced, and tried to convince me, that Trump would be antiwar compared to Biden and Harris.

In the past week alone he has attacked Nigeria and then Venezuela and also threatened to attack Iran (again).

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts.

Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

Good example of what every elected Dem and candidate should be saying loudly right now:
