The Speaker of the House is telling the Fox News audience that a peaceful demonstration by Americans on the National Mall will actually be a gathering of organizations the administration has designated as violent terrorists.

Seems bad?

The House Majority Whip is also insisting that a peaceful "No Kings" demonstration is in fact a "hate America rally" held for the "terrorist wing" of the Democratic Party.

Really feels like they're trying to manifest a violent reaction to it.

There Is No Insurrection Troops are for national defense, not displays of presidential power.

Not only is Trump’s use of the term “insurrection” a wild exaggeration of protests in Portland, but it’s also an obvious wink to the Insurrection Act, which can unlock great presidential powers.

this is literally delusional

NPR stop playing defense for people who hate you challenge

If only Pete Hegseth's military shaving crusade was just stupid Hegseth knows damn well who he's pushing out: Black troops.

With the US military's new shaving crusade, Pete Hegseth knows damn well who he's pushing out: Black troops

i think this is poor tactically by Johnson et al; they will 100% take the blame for a shutdown, all of it, if they’re talking about it as an opportunity to do things they want to do

THE TRUMP ECONOMY: US private sector businesses LOST 32,000 jobs in September, far below the expected gain of 51,000, per payroll processor ADP.

August has been revised DOWN by 57,000, to -3,000.

this is, no exaggeration, some of the most loser shit i have ever seen in my life

The surest, most predictable effect of authoritarianism is corruption.

That quote is not out of context, the full version is worse.

They do not have enough popular support.

So they are trying to outlaw / silence opposition.

And that’s where we are.

Pushing back has never mattered more.

i appreciate the mormon church's lawyers for so clearly laying out what the '''religious freedom''' push is all about

Most people who write about politics, right or left, have internalized the concept of the Trump supporter as the authentic american Volk and so many of their conclusions proceed from that

2024: Trump, 49.7% popular vote, 312 EV; Harris, 48.2%, 226 EV

What we might refer to as a "Kavanaugh Stop"

Heritage Foundation Uses Bogus Stat to Push a Trans Terrorism Classification By inflating numbers and narrowing definitions, Heritage promotes a false link between transgender identity and violence in its push for the FBI to create a new terrorism category.

NEW: The Heritage Foundation is pushing a terrorism designation based on "transgender ideology" on the claim that "50% of major (non-gang) school shootings since 2015" involve a transgender shooter or trans-related motive. @dell.bsky.social and me on why that's false:

A beautiful ratio

But Justice Kavanaugh insisted stuff like this was at worst a minor inconvenience, and totes OK in the grand scheme of things...

Do I HAFTA?

There are times when I resent the entirety of the universe for creating situations where the only correct option is supporting a self-righteous little prick.

i hate this administration so much what do you mean im going to have to defend james comey now

"OK, this one is my special Anti-ICE bullet, so I'll make sure to keep it safe instead of using it" said no anti-ICE shooter ever.
