We can only hope that the economic crash really FINALLY wakes the rightwing up about the massive fraud they've been supporting in trump and the GOP and they get serious about really fixing the problems the country faces along with the left.

and he only projects strength by acting like a bully. He's super unpopular and he's losing this govt shutdown fight.

The biggest thing that is going to happen and change everything is the economy crashing, and that is coming sooner or later, for sure in the next year.

The idea that the president can send the US military to fight local crime problems in our cities, go after gang violence and random murders is just laughable, ridiculous, stupid and importantly it's illegal.

Ultimately Trump is weak. He is incredibly weak, mentally and physically,

(and probably distract from the Epstein files) but it's not going to ever make him popular nor will it lead to Civil War or Martial Law.

There's freaking NO INSURRECTION at all, anywhere or any significant leftist terrorist activity that in any way justifies what the President is doing.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that this whole mess with the federalization of the National Guard is mostly a huge waste of time and money that will eventually fizzle out and go nowhere. It's just fascist cosplay that shows that the President wants to be a big tough dictator

Because I hate myself, I took another stab at playing Rachmaninoff's 3rd. Played for ~1 hr, very slowly because I hadn't played it for 5 years. Ended up with a very sore shoulder and neck, didn't even finish the 1st movement. :/

Trump is moving us closer to authoritarianism with each deployment of troops into states.

From Illinois to Oregon to Californiaโ€”

None of our states asked for this, nor need this.

I and every U.S. Senator from these states are demanding Trump to end these deployments ASAP.

Republicans are claiming that the ACA tax credits go to the wealthyโ€”but that's just not accurate.

The average salary of a person who benefits from the Affordable Care Act enhanced premium tax credits is $32,000 a year.

If Republicans allow the tax credits that help people afford their health care premiums expire, a couple in Ouray would be forced to pay over $1000/ month for health insurance. That is unbelievable.

Coloradans cannot afford that.

Republicans must negotiate with Democrats to preserve these credits.

Pam Bondi Freezes When Asked About EPSTEINโ€™S TRUMP PHOTOS w/ NAKED GIRLS!!!
YouTube video by Jesse Dollemore Pam Bondi Freezes When Asked About EPSTEINโ€™S TRUMP PHOTOS w/ NAKED GIRLS!!!

Jesse talks about a moment that took place in a Senate hearing where Senator Sheldon Whitehouse directly asked AG Bondi if there are photos in the Epstein Files of Trump with "half-naked" girls. In her response, she may as well have just admitted that Trump is guilty.

It's the #Pedophiles who hate the #Immigrants.

I believe that's called projection & scapegoating. Typical psychological warfare tactics of narcissists & sociopaths.

@democracynow.org had @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social and me on together to explain that she is not being sworn in because she is the 218th signatory for the release of the Epstein files. Swear her in today.

Stephen Miller said the quiet part out loud. Trump has โ€œplenary authority,โ€ then suddenly went silent. Their plan wasnโ€™t to be public yet. Clearly, someone hit the panic button in his earpiece.

It gets weirder: CNN uploaded the interview with the โ€œplenary authorityโ€ comment edited out.

THE CHICKENS ARE FINALLY COMING HOME TO ROOST

Ryan Walters is out & the investigation floodgates just opened. The Oklahoma AG launched a full audit of Waltersโ€™ entire tenure as Superintendent, and itโ€™s about damn time.

Also the education dept websiteโ€™s being scrubbed of his culture-war nonsense.

ICEBlock App Developer Speaks Out After Being Removed From Apple and Android App Stores

NEW: I spoke to the developer of the ICEBlock app, Joshua Aaron, about it's removal from the Apple App Store amid pressure from the Trump administration. Joshua will also appear on Maddow tonight! www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z5Oc...

Pam Bondi admits she spoke to Apple to "get the ICEBlock app taken down." Sounds an awful lot like coercion to suppress disfavored speech to me. A clear violation of the 1st Amendment.

"Let's do the fucking news" sounds like you want everyone to fuck the news as in "I'd totally do the fucking quarterback." Which seems appropriate, given the speaker.
