Now wait a god damn minute. Who's culture are we defending?

This is bone-chilling rhetoric from an official government account. We are not inching towards fascism. Fascism is here.

The lines between being Attorney General of the United States and being personal attorney to the President are getting awfully blurry.

Democratic leaderships biggest flaw the past few years is the assumption that democratic voters aren't able and willing to walk and chew gum at the same time.

Artistic styled image of a black woman, mouth open in a yell, holding a sign saying "Good Trouble Lives On".  The caption reads: 
"The protests will keep growing.
But won't turn violent like Ferguson or Minneapolis. There's a simple reason why, and it will lead to Trump's eventual downfall."

Given Donald Trump’s premature federalization of the National Guard and deployment of Marines into US cities, we’re destined for the summer of 2025 to be one of fire and brimstone, right?

Probably not actually.

Anyone else notice we haven't really been talking about Elon Musk in what...over a week?

Turns out starting a war is a pretty good way to distract from the guy who bought you an election confirming for the world that you are a sexual predator and pedophile.

Democratic Leaders Stand Real Still In Hopes No One Notices Them WASHINGTONβ€”With the elected officials trying their hardest not to move a muscle, reports confirmed Monday that top Democratic leaders in Congress were standing real still in hopes that the American people wouldn’t notice them. β€œDon’t make any sudden movements, or they’ll spot us,” Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) said out of the corner of his mouth, […]

Their relationship is quickly falling apart. Here we go folks. This is going to be messy in the best way possible. I hope the media doesn't screw it up.

10 years ago, a Senator would have been forced to resign because of the shame piled upon them over something like this.

If we want to make America great again, let's get back to that shall we? #joniernst #weareallgonnadie

The Most Dangerous Five Words in Trump 2.0 Some thoughts as we begin President Stephen Miller's first 100 days

"The biggest challenge for the anti-MAGA coalition right now is, in my view, being confident without becoming complacent. We know these guys are beatable. But we also know that there’s a difference between beatable and destined-to-be-beat."

We are having to translate the presidential daily security briefing into cartoons and videos games so that the current President will pay attention long enough.

WHAT ARE WE DOING.

So I...didn't like the season finale of #Hacks? I mean, it was a beautiful piece of television, but it just seemed out of place in some way. Superb acting, beautifully filmed and scored. Cinematic. It almost felt like a 40 minute long music video? I still don't know how I feel.

Why do we as moral, patriotic Americans just stand by and let this happen?

Why aren't people flocking to Bakersfield to protect this kid? This FOUR YEAR OLD CHILD that the Trump administration is actively trying to kill by deporting her when she needs medical care?

We should fight these battles.

Donald Trump is living in a time loop where every holiday is Festivus. He has a lot of grievances to air, and now we're gonna hear about it (yet again).

This is why we have an emoluments clause.
This is why Presidents divest in personal businesses.
This is why we have oversight committees.
This is why we have inspectors general.

So that we don't have to ask the question you just asked.

But all those precautions have been neutralized. Now what?

The fact that this report, and all of its conclusions, came about less than 100 days after the confirmation of RFK Jr. as HHS secretary shows just how unserious and unreal their "research" into these topics was. They have an agenda, they aren't following the science.

Oh interesting. Let's save this for later when he inevitable tries to claim executive privilege over the records and conversations around this dinner when it is explored during the next Congress when Dems run oversight. The Supreme Court should also bookmark.

Just four weeks ago he was in the west wing of the white house for a cabinet meeting. Four weeks. Just because he isn't saying stupid things that make nation news this week doesn't mean he is "fading into the background of American politics". Don't normalize any of this.

It's chilling how often they take, what should be rights granted upon the INDIVIDUAL PEOPLE in this nation, and try and bastardize them into a right that only the President somehow has.
