Three years ago today, @chrislhayes.bsky.social on @allinwithchris.bsky.social gave me my nickname, 'Some rascal on the internet' showing both of my DeSantis white boots meme: the unsexy Green M&M and the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleader. Boy, I can't believe that was only three years ago. Thank you, Chris

Who could ever have imagined when I played a fictional rebel who joined the Resistance to oppose a criminal Authoritarian & wannabe King, it would be happening in real-life?

If you wonder how bad the Epstein Files are for Donald, he had the federal government shut down so you wouldn't find out.

Almost three-quarters of Americans say the economy isnโ€™t good, and more than half blame Trump.

A screenshot of an X post with a black background and white text, featuring a "Being Liberal" logo in the top right corner. The post lists products launched by Donald Trump, including TrumpRX, Trump Gold Card, Trump Mobile, Trump Coin, and Trump Social/Truth Social. It also mentions upcoming projects: Trump Golf Resort in Qatar, Trump Plaza in Saudi Arabia, and Trump Tower in UAE. Additional claims include Melania having a crypto coin, Jared buying EA, and Trump accepting a $40M jet from Qatar. The post ends with a sarcastic remark about the Bushes and Clintons being the "swamp" and questions about grocery bills, salaries, and the feeling of getting poorer while the president and his family get richer.

And this is just a small sample of the scams and the grift!

Just an FYI: Weโ€™re not facing a โ€œgovernment shutdown.โ€ This is a Trump-MAGA Republican shutdown. Call it what it is.

Absolutely bizarre. Trump takes credit for a judge blocking HIS OWN PLAN to cut $34 million in funding for counterterrorism in New York.

Soon, the majority of government shutdown days *in all of US history* will have happened on Donald Trump's watch.

Oregon AG Rayfield: The first thing that mightโ€™ve told you the federal government wasnโ€™t doing so hot was when they started off some of their arguments by talking about Truth Social as their source of facts.

Actually got a comment from the judge: โ€œIs this really how youโ€™re going to move forward?โ€

Trump โ€œmisplacedโ€ $17 TRILLION. Thatโ€™s not Monopoly money thatโ€™s corruption on steroids. Ally Sammarco @allysammarco.bsky.social and I break it down on our latest episode.

so i donโ€™t think this should be a hot take but for the record i think the chances republicans give up power without some level of violence - a mini jan 6 at best - is basically nil.

There has been basically no (public) reckoning with the democratic strategists who said that "raising the salience" of immigration/deportations in ~March would help Trump, which was obviously wrong at the time and has been proved wrong over the last 6 months www.gelliottmorris.com/p/kilmar-abr...

Specifically, the President can only exercise this power if he is doing so in a way that is "conceived in good faith." Sterling v. Constantin, 287 U.S. 378, 389-400 (1932). supreme.justia.com/cases/federa...

i almost admire how wurman makes with total confidence claims that are such total bullshit that they donโ€™t even require much in the way of work to debunk.

The media trots out the "deplorable" comment from a decade ago to castigate the left. Once a week now Trump implies that the military should destroy democrats, and it is just how things are.

Millerโ€™s apparent elevation to shadow president and his seeming intent to declare an end to the constitutional order would, in any other administration, be treated as a executive branch meltdown that was immensely embarrassing for the president and requiring Millerโ€™s immediate removal

He seems to have literally gone mad with power, thinking he can just bluster the country into some kind of Fourth Reich with the power of screechy Twitter posts written with all the forced bombast that an insecure dweeb imagining himself as Goebbels can muster.
