Gallego: "It's murder. It's very simple. If this president feels they are doing something illegally, then he should be using the Coast Guard. If this is an act of war, then you use our military and then you come and talk to us first. But this is murder ... it's disgusting."

Corporate media is in a bad place.

The Capital Area Food Bank (CAFB) is actively helping federal employees and contractors impacted by the shutdown. We’ll be making a $5,000 donation to help. If you have anything extra to give, please consider donating to them or to a local food bank near you, every bit helps! 🙏

I debated 20 far-far-far-right conservatives (racists? fascists?) on Jubilee's 'Surrounded.'

Here are some of the highlights of them unable to answer my basic questions or rebut the simplest of points. Not sure whether to laugh or cry.

Here's the full 'debate': www.youtube.com/watch?v=2S-W...

Instead of "This is inappropriate!" Democrats - especially those who might run for president - should say right now "Anyone who participates in this should know: You are committing a crime, and in the next administration you will be prosecuted."

That will change the frame of the story.

Retired Army Sgt. Brian Wofford spoke to me this morning at the Oklahoma City #NoKings protest. Didn’t expect him to be carrying his DD214 so I asked some warmup questions like when he got out and whether his injury was service-related.

He paused while describing the car bomb in Iraq to say this:

So, this crucially important state race in Georgia that I told you about? Let me offer you a frustrating update. (cc @hankgreen.bsky.social)

With 14 days to go, Dems are up by a decent margin in early voting, but Kemp -- GA's loathsome governor -- has just dumped *$500K* into TV ads on the race.

At least 2 historic magnolia trees, Kennedy Garden appear to have been removed to make way for Trump's White House ballroom Satellite images show that President Donald Trump's project to build a $300 million grand ballroom has appeared to take down at least six trees on the White House grounds

So what would stop Trump from waking up in the middle of the night, saying "fuck it," and ordering that the rest of the White House be torn down and replaced with a tall golden tower in the shape of a T?

it's hard to Nazi what's going on here

I have one slight disagreement with this post.

There is at least one story bigger than that of a president instigating a plot to end U.S. democracy.

And that is the story that a president is instigating his *second* plot to end U.S. democracy.

Of course, that’s not what he was saying. He was pointing out what was obviously true to anyone alive then - there was a big backlash against Muslim-Americans and anyone with an Arab-sounding name right after 9/11. But Vance has to be an asshole 24/7 for his MAGA troll fans.

I'm shocked.

What Jared Kushner brings to the negotiating table in the Middle East President Trump's son-in-law says his relationships in the Middle East helped him broker a deal between Hamas and Israel. But his business ties also present a potential conflict.

More likely the phone or insurance company.

The old rulebook is gone. It's not coming back and we all need to accept that. The DOJ is weaponized. the GOP is rigging elections. Trump is literally bulldozing the White House.

Democrats need to operate under this new reality, fight hard, and play by the same rules.

Here's the list of donors paying for Trump's new White House ballroom Trump invited the donors, who include individuals and corporations, to a dinner at the White House on Wednesday night to thank them for their support.

The East Wing of the White House was fully demolished, a White House official said, as construction pushes forward to build Trump’s new ballroom. Here's the list of donors paying for it.

Pardons for sale, get yur red hot pardons.

This should be a really fun chat! You can watch live here: www.youtube.com/live/eIXSmhg...

The Russians are in meetings. to decide where and when they'll have their surveillance installed in the new structure.

Here are the companies willing to destroy the White House.
Construction: Clark Construction
Engineering: AECOM
Architecture: McCrery Architects

The White House is asking people not to share pictures of the East Wing because it’s even worse today.

Genuinely curious: can Dems physically get close enough to use this as a backdrop? Political malpractice not to if you can.

Yikes! Should get a whole turkey for that price.

…and he has no balls and can’t dance… wtf for…

Just a reminder that — in the middle of a shutdown — House Republicans are on a paid vacation solely to avoid releasing the Epstein files and lowering your health care costs.

ICE has increased its spending on weapons by 700% since Trump took office.

You read that right — SEVEN HUNDRED PERCENT.

Trump is building his own personal military to terrorize American cities, trample on civil rights, and intimidate his opponents.

He should be impeached over this. He got permission from no one to tear up a property HE DOES NOT OWN (we do). Man is a one man destruction tool.
