Trump won’t stop posting about the bathroom!

This is just so very, very illegal. And Republicans in Congress aren’t the least bit interested in controlling the purse. They’re just employees of trump org at taxpayer expense. This is a dictatorship.

it’s… the saddest story i can think of

Donald Trump, Bubble Boy The President of the United States exists in a dream world, where he regularly declares things that are not just untrue, but ridiculous. This is patently obvious to the most casual observer … so long...

Donald Trump lives in a carefully curated media bubble—half Fox News, half AI deepfakes—where everyone thinks he’s brilliant and America’s biggest concern is the White House ballroom.

Wen should direct more attention to incidents like these because Americans are more likely to respond to brutality to pets than to brutality to human beings.

It really feels like they’re trolling our autocrat.

Doing amazing work for democracy.

@StephenM on X: Legal insurrection. The President is the commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces, not an Oregon judge. Portland and Oregon law enforcement, at the direction of local leaders, have refused to aid ICE officers facing relentless terrorist assault and threats to life. (There are more local law enforcement officers in Oregon than there are guns and badges in the FBI nationwide). This is an organized terrorist attack on the federal government and its officers, and the deployment of troops is an absolute necessity to defend our personnel, our laws, our government, public order and the Republic itself.

Everyone is trying to have a normal Saturday night and the president's top advisor is on X announcing that civil war is necessary

This is a declaration of war against United States citizens

DENVER (AP) — Conservative network Newsmax agrees to pay $67 million in defamation case over bogus 2020 election claims.

what the fuck is happening

If you want to feel slightly better just know that you could have had Ed Martin in this role which was a disaster of many magnitudes greater than Judge Jeanine.

2025: "Kemi Badenoch says she no longer identifies as Nigerian"

2010: Kemi Adegoke appeals to Nigerians for help to get elected in parliament. This is the campaign leaflet she sent around. It's taken her 15 years to dump the Nigerians who helped her become elected.

Key extracts:

Yiiiiiikes

Yeah, this is really not great

Website/device age verification is a privacy and security nightmare and everyone who tells you that this is a solved problem is lying to you.

this is the level of funding where all the possibilities for American politics that have been described as hyperbolic over the past decades - the comparisons to Nazi Germany and other nightmares of the 20th century - become logistically possible and politically likely

Analysis: US strikes mark a stunning demonstration of military might and presidential power

I was thinking that maybe, more than 20 years after the start of the Iraq war, media coverage would be more skeptical and less sycophantic

No such luck

What a time to be alive. The president of the United States doing battle damage assessment via sketchy OSINT accounts. I had blocked this particular account some time ago.

Multiple US B-2 bombers appear to have taken off from Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri on Friday night and are heading west, according to flight tracking data CNN has reviewed, as President Donald Trump weighs his military options over a potential airstrike in Iran.

In the same breath she said Iran can finish a nuclear weapon in two weeks.

Is this a game of chicken?

What an obscenely terrible headline.

I can assure the legacy media that Democrats are not looking to be politically targeted, manhandled, handcuffed, arrested or indicted.

The handcuffs are a symbol of authoritarianism, injustice, intimidation, and government abuse. Nothing more.

One month apart.

twitter is already used as a direct targeting zone for the government to send both harassment mobs and actual prosecutions towards people they don’t like

if they actually set up on here, understand what you’re getting into if you want to fight with them

block and ignore is much safer

would love it if bombing hospitals did not become a norm

CNN host Jake Tapper directly equating Joe Biden being old to the Bush administration starting an illegal war in Iraq based on lies. Amazing stuff.

This moves closer and closer to dead civilians on the streets.

Bernie Sanders: "We have a president who is moving this country rapidly toward authoritarianism...to a large degree the future of this country rests with a small number of Republicans in the House & Senate who know better, who do know what the Constitution is about, and it's high time they stood up"

Terry Moran E @TerryMoran The thing about Stephen Miller is not that he is the brains behind Trumpism. Yes, he is one of the people who conceptualizes the impulses of the Trumpist movement and translates them into policy. But that's not what's interesting about Miller. It's not brains. It's bile. Miller is a man who is richly endowed with the capacity for hatred. He's a world-class hater. You can see this just by looking at him because you can see that his hatreds are his spiritual nourishment. He eats his hate. Trump is a world-class hater. But his hatred only a means to an end, and that end his his own glorification. That's his spiritual nourishment.

ABC News senior correspondent Terry Moran on Stephen Miller.

Statement from Gavin Newsom:

“The federal government is taking over the California National Guard and deploying 2,000 soldiers in Los Angeles — not because there is a shortage of law enforcement, but because they want a spectacle.

Don't give them one.

Never use violence. Speak out peacefully.”
