"I quit the Republican Party in 2018 because I saw that it was no longer the party that I joined in 1980, and it was a personality cult ... I honestly think that when people get to hear about what I have to say on issues, they're going to say, 'Well, that's perfectly reasonable. I agree with that.'"

It'd be a real shame if this photo of President Obama receiving his Nobel peace prize went viral today, for no particular reason

Such a pathetic, insecure, sad, little man @realDonaldTrump is. He’s been out there for months, stomping his feet, openly begging for a Nobel Peace Prize. And he’s got so many of his enablers out there begging for him too. Such a pathetic, insecure, sad, little man he is.

Pocock booted from pollie sports club after criticising gambling lobby sponsor The former star Wallabies player turned independent senator was kicked out of the social sports club after raising concerns about its links to the gambling industry.

Oh boy the Labor Party demonstrating they truly have a thin skin.
I would not say they are bending the knee to the gambling industry rather they’re on their hands and knees adorned with a collar and leash. #auspol

@sarahlongwell25.bsky.social and I start with this clip of me from 2024 on Jimmy Kimmel Live and we talk about how Trump told us for years what he was going to do to the country now.

Democrats Must Abandon the Moderate Messaging of The White Dude Data Complex

Democrats have their lowest favorability rating since 1994, & still believe they can be "Republican-lite" & win elections by ignoring a progressive, anti-oligarchy message. They're wrong.

Most of Dem Senators did not attack Bondi yesterday as they should have. Among other things they should have said, "You're lying again, Ms. Bondi" and "That's a bald-faced lie, Ms. Bondi."

The rapid rise of authoritarianism is no place for etiquette.

Gavin Newsom, JB Pritzker, Chris Murphy, Sheldon Whitehouse, Adam Schiff, Bernie Sanders, Jasmine Crockett & AOC seem to be the only Democratic leaders who know the fight they are in.

Noticeably absent from this list: Chuck Schumer & Hakeem Jeffries.

It really is staggering to see so many people willing to abandon our 249 year experiment in democracy for an increasingly unstable criminally convicted reality show charlatan.
