The writing is on the wall. The US is abandoning Europe. Europe will have to fend off Ru on its own.

This is the most corrupt and disgusting thing I think I’ve ever seen from a president. A blatantly impeachable offense. Republicans in Congress will say and do nothing.

So Trump gets DOJ to drop an obvious bribery case against Tom Homan, then fires the US Attorney who found insufficient evidence to prosecute Letitia James, then threatens to fire Pam Bondi and replace her with dunce Lindsey Halligan unless she immediately indicts his enemies.

There is no world in which it is normal for the president to publicly call upon his attorney general to hurry up and prosecute his political foes. It’s like the Watergate tapes but posted on social media. Let’s get a grip on what’s happening here.

Good point.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.

The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.

Our problem isn't a lack of resources.

Our problem is ever-expanding inequality.

Dear American citizens, whatever you wish more German citizens would have done in 1933, do that now.

Tom Homan was investigated for accepting $50,000 from undercover FBI agents. Trump's DOJ shut it down. The FBI and Justice officials closed the investigation, which a Justice Department appointee had called a “deep state” probe in early 2025.

The hyper normalization of extrajudicial murder is accelerating within the infrastructure of the military that is quite quite bad news for when the full weight of the military is turned inward over the coming weeks and months.

Disney/ABC have a responsibility to refuse to participate in corruption.

Kimmel must be reinstated. If Disney/ABC agree to this extortion then perhaps creatives + workers should consider collective action to push back. Same w/buying park + cruise tickets if they bow.

People have power. Ask Target

Cardinal Timothy Dolan failed to report direct admissions of rape by multiple priests, lobbied against extending the statute of limitations for sex abuse, and moved money off the church books to hide it from victims of sex abuse. In case you were wondering.

Can we please note that comedians are setting a much better example when it comes to civic duty than many law firms, universities, and corporations?

So pathetic. "Please like me."

Whining, sniveling snowflakes, all of them.

This isn't even a slight exaggeration. He is actively working on destroying the US's entire vaccine infrastructure. The HepB vote will be tomorrow, where they will get rid of the birth dose and recommend it at 30 days, dooming a bunch of infants to chronic infection ft. cirrhosis, cancer, and death.

Do you see now why Pu has been asking to receive all of Donetsk on a silver platter without a fight? He tried to sell it as a Ru concession and Trump, Vance and even some “experts” claimed it was. Turns out, Ru is not only not in a position to advance, it’s in danger of losing ground.

It's not about Jimmy Kimmel. It wasn't about Colbert. It wasn't about the CBS interview with Kamala Harris or George Stephanopoulos, either.

Trump is finally coming out with it.

Don't make him look bad.

Or even joke about it.

So, um, we don’t need the legislation. The Constitution is pretty clear about this. The remedies are clear. And short of those, how about standing firm on no budget ok until Trump/GOP agree to…adhere to the Constitution. Or, perhaps, just approve extension a month at a time…if he complies.

RFK Jr trying to run away with it

Survivors call into questions Kash Patel's testimony on the Hill.

The Briefing with Jen Psaki (@thebriefingwithpsaki) on Threads One group calling for Jimmy Kimmel's ouster is Sinclair media. Even if you don't pay attention to media conglomerates, you probably remember Sinclair for this:

Chilling montage by MSNBC showing how Sinclair Media forces a script to be read by talent at its stations warning of the dangers of “biased and false news.”

Luckily, Sinclair has a helpful database of all their stations, so you can see if they're operating in your area and respond accordingly.

He’s baaack

“ABC and CBS are making a serious miscalculation. Their servility to Trump will not earn them peace, only greater pressure.”

That’s the German professional association of journalists, @djv.de, calling on major US media to support their journalists instead of preemptively silencing them.

Van Hollen: "Those who cave in -- those like ABC who cave in -- what they do is give the bully an even bigger appetite. When they appease they bully, they put all of us at risk."

This is the playbook, folks.

If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away.

Do not be quiet in this moment.

Let me just say a simple thing.

Democrats have no obligation to provide the votes to fund the destruction of our democracy.

If you want my vote for a bipartisan budget, there need to be protections to stop Trump's brazen lawlessness.
