I for one can’t wait to be able to send that $500 million while sipping on a glass of whiskey. Could these people be more out of touch??

Important to understand the Epstein stuff and the fascism and the corruption are, in a lot of ways, really all the same story from different angles: powerful men who can and do abuse vulnerable people around them because they can, and because systems of elite accountability catastrophically failed

Can we just take a minute and acknowledge that our POTUS is right OUT IN THE OPEN lobbying Congressional members to vote against releasing the Epstein files?! Like... what the fuck else does anyone even need to know?

They had audio of him saying he could grab women by the pussy and MAGA didn’t care. They are all as awful as him.

Emails about Donald Trump's connections to a pedophile sex trafficking ring? Boooooorrrrrriiiinnnggg

Emails about John Podesta's risotto recipe? Holy shit, stop the presses

The idiot in chief was just boasting about this the other day as if it was some brilliant idea. Now he’s blindsided. Dopes

the party now cared more about climate change and various academic fixations than cheap energy and good-paying jobs.

This right here, this exact sentence, is THE problem in American political journalism.

The IRA *was* cheap energy and good jobs! That was the whole bill! Democrats did precisely what political pundits are telling them to do and the pundits just ignore it.

This is quite the post.

1. He unambiguously directs his AG to go after those who investigated him for his crimes

2. He admits being influenced by online chatter

He is mob bossing out in the open, because he knows he has corrupted every federal law enforcement agency into submission.

It's not the corruption. it's the low sum. 50k? russian street level punk money. So? Racist, corrupt and stupid, classic Trump team

Democrats need to be out there threatening the people doing the Trump's illegal bidding with arrest and prosecution after Trump is out of power. Democratic governors need to declare any federal worker who breaks state and local laws can be arrested and prosecuted. Make these MAGA drones afraid.

reposting with alt text because this feels incredibly significant. the right-wing disinfo machine means a lot of the people grieving Charlie Kirk never heard any of the things he said that would have tarnished his brand as Guy Who Just Wants to Have Dialogue Across the Aisle

How does he still have a job after this

The vast majority of the political violence in this country the past 20yrs has been committed by right wing extremists. That’s the truth. And another truth is this: No public figure is more divisive than Donald Trump. None.👇

As facts emerge about the background and persuasions of Charlie Kirk’s killer, we should be reminded that responsible people wait for facts to emerge…not instantly attempt to incite violence against “the radical left.”

WSJ has now appended this lengthy editor's note to its original report. It notably contains zero contrition for the initial decision to spread such incendiary misinformation. www.wsj.com/livecoverage...

In Trump's view, right-wing radicals are justified and their concerns are worthy of radicalization. People on the other side are the problem and their reasons for being radical are unjustified.

@sarahlongwell25.bsky.social, @timmiller.bsky.social, and @jvl.bsky.social:

Kirk didn't serve in the military or hold office. The war hero treatment -- half-mast flags, military guard, Air Force Two escort, calls for a statue at the Capitol or to lie in the Rotunda -- shows that for MAGA, service to Trump has become the highest, most honorable form of service.

The guy just … tweeted it out

You can write this only if, by virtue of your income, identity, or both, you are utterly removed from the consequences of politics. To pretend that the racist, misogynistic, anti-gay vileness that Kirk spent his life spreading is secondary to the fact that he spread it "the right way" is appalling.

A lot of you know Charlie Kirk as just some podcaster rage bait idiot, which he was, but he was also essential to the GOP / MAGA platform, the Turning Point USA is used to indoctrinate teens and young people and it also served as an influence network linked to troll farms and influence operations.

Yay, death!

Trump Family Amasses $5 Billion Fortune After Crypto Launch The WLFI token traded far above its previous value, confirming—at least on paper—a huge windfall for the president and his sons.

This level of corruption is not normal or acceptable. Even if we are exhausted by each report of it going further and further, we can never grow numb to it.

What?!? This guy acts like he was in the towers or something

That Trump and Trumpism are fascist doesn’t explain the sheer vandalism of unleashing mass murdering mayhem via RFK to replace medical/scientific institutions of immense value and prestige with medieval peasant superstitions. That is a criminal madness facilitated by but above and beyond fascism.

I wonder how many of those 38% can even find D.C. on a map

We Are All DC On September 6, we march to Stop the Trump Takeover. Show up at Malcolm X Park (16th St NW & W St NW) on Saturday, September 6 at 11 AM. We march at 12 PM. Allies join us!

It’s official.

September 6th.

From all across this nation.

We march in D.C.

Join us.

They should also then arrest people who desecrate the US flag like this. There are hundreds of thousands of them out there.

Pritzker: To the members of the press who are assembled here today and listening across the country, I am asking for your courage to tell it like it is. This is not a time to pretend here that there are two sides to this story.
