Obama: "We are living in a time where it can be hard to hope. Each day we wake up to some new assault on our democratic institutions. Another setback to the idea of the rule of law ... but this man - Rev. Jesse Jackson - inspires us to take a harder path ... bc if we don't step up, nobody else will"

The National Capitol Planning Commission is meeting to discuss Trump's tacky ballroom project.

This project is riddled with conflicts of interest, pay-to-play government contracts & dropped enforcement actions against donors.

Protesters gathered against this outrageous project.

If the Democrats return to power next January none of these Dems should be getting a leadership slot in any committees next year. If these Dems ever get in any position of leadership that means @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social & leadership don't give an F about accountability.

Republicans Wage War As Politics ...and politics as war.

Via @brianbeutler.bsky.social, Dems should politicize the hell out of Trump's Iran bombing:

"It would be a mistake to treat this as an above-board idea over which people of good faith can disagree. There is no merit here, and there was no imminent threat."

We had a deal to keep Iran from getting nukes!

Trump backed out of it because he wanted to own Obama. Iran kept following its end of the deal for a year anyway, begging Trump to reenter the deal.

Trump literally backed out of the no nukes deal and then initiated a war because of nukes. Insanity.

Everything the Ellison family could own if Paramount buys Warner Bros:

Paramount+
CBS
CNN
Showtime
HBO
Warner Bros
TNT
TBS
MTV
DC Studios
Nickelodeon
Comedy Central
Cartoon Network
And more...

This is a rotten deal that the Trump regime has rubber stamped.

State AGs must step in and block it.

The richest man owns X.

The second and third richest men control Google.

The fourth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The fifth richest man owns The Washington Post.

And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros.

See the problem here?
