Authoritarianism doesn't happen in a vacuum. It requires enablers. When a leader posts fantasies of monarchical rule, and his entire party looks the other way, they become complicit. The issue isn't just Trump's posts; it's the institutional decay of a party that refuses to be a check on his power.

Why do headlines say "norms shattered" when what is meant is "laws broken" or "Constitution violated"?

Creating a new state is not an unprecedented action; Congress has done so for 37 other states through simple legislative action . #DCStatehood #Stetehood4PuertoRico

Gabbard Ends Intelligence Report on Future Threats to U.S.

She came into her job widely accused of being a foreign asset.

She now responds to those credible allegations by doing the first thing any foreign asset would do in her role: bury all intelligence on pending foreign threats to the United States.

It's almost like America doesn't *want* to survive.

If you’re wondering how batshit bananas he has to be to claim, without any evidence, that Tylenol causes autism, let’s not forget his other proclamations:

“Windmills cause cancer”

“Injecting bleach cures Covid”

“UV light cures Covid”

“Summer cures Covid”

“Covid will get bored and go away”

Whahoo, Go Bills!!!

SHAMELESS: Donald Trump is slapping his name on infrastructure projects across the U.S. funded by President Biden’s historic 2021 infrastructure law that Trump opposed and tried to derail. (NYT)

Have you noticed that people happy about Roe V Wade being overturned, don’t support prenatal care, maternal leave, child health care, etc. They aren’t pro-life, They are pro-control of women.

Yes, Trump IS a shameless piece of shit!

There really are no questions

Here’s what was NOT released today:

- the proffer agreement between Maxwell and the DoJ

- the agreement transferring Maxwell to club fed

- communications showing who waived Maxwell’s sex offender status allowing her transfer and possible work assignments outside prison

- the Epstein files

I may currently be in Arizona but I’m proudly flying my D.C. flag! It goes nicely with my D.C. license plates. #FreeDC

An actual example of TDS

Juneteenth went uncelebrated by the White House. That alone says everything you need to know about this regime.

When Dobbs came down, the media rightly saw it as the culmination of a decades long effort to eliminate abortion rights by the conservative legal movement. When Skrmetti came down, the media blamed trans people and not that same conservative legal machine.

It's the same court and lawyers.

Breaking: The Trevor Project received a stop-work order last night on its contract with the national 988 suicide prevention hotline. The Trump administration is eliminating the option for LGBTQ callers to the hotline to press 3 and connect with someone who specializes in LGBTQ mental health.

Yes! Just like those of us who live in Washington, D.C. Both deserve statehood!

Russia still has the opportunity to surrender and withdraw fully from Ukraine, peace is in their hands if they want it.

The F.B.I. is disbanding a unit that investigates members of Congress and federal employee fraud just as the Trump administration moves to sideline divisions handling public corruption.

DC residents pay more in total federal income tax than residents of 22 other states but have no say over how those tax dollars are spent. #DCStatehood

WATCH: Trump & RFK Jr.'s HHS released a politically-motivated ‘report’ to lay the groundwork to replace best-practice medical care for trans people with so-called ‘conversion therapy.’

This gut-wrenching story reminds us why we CANNOT allow another generation of LGBTQ+ people to bear this burden.

I’m still baffled at how America took one of the basic principles of the presidency — the occupant shouldn’t be able to benefit financially from the office — and just said, nah, that just doesn’t count for this one guy.

A Pope Who Prays for Palestine Pope Francis, who is in daily contact with Gazans, has consistently called for an end to the Israeli assault and for Palestinians and Israelis to be able to live in peace.

Every evening, without fail, Pope Francis speaks with priests and parishioners at the Holy Family Catholic Church in Gaza City. He tells them that they are not forgotten and that, as long as he has a voice to cry out for an end to the Israeli assault on Gaza, there is hope for peace and justice.

Taking the beautiful tapestry of the USA and bleaching it white. 😡

Ah, that makes sense, it is a small county population wise.
