Sorry, I don’t understand what you are saying. Would you care to explain and expand? Thanks.

You don’t need to guess where the Republican Party’s soul went. It’s sitting in silence while Trump offers sympathy to a sex trafficker who enabled Epstein named Maxwell. This isn’t about politics. It’s about who still gives a damn about right and wrong.

This is how you fight back: with courage, strategy, and zero patience for authoritarian bullshit. Jasmine reminding everyone that breaking quorum wasn’t cowardice: it was resistance. Let’s match that energy all the way to November this year in key elections in Virginia and beyond

Appreciation post for this incredible American showing up in Marjorie Taylor Greene’s own district to say HELL NO to the chaos, cruelty, and coverups. When grandmas are grabbing neon signs and oxygen tanks to speak truth you know the tide is turning.

This is what the Dem voters want:
Fighters!
Not fundraisers.
Take note @schumer.senate.gov and @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social and the rest of the establishment Democrats.
Read the room.

A good number of the immigration lawyers we talk to now want to stay anonymous when not many months ago they’d love to be on the record. This is in part because the new Trump admin is actually targeting them. But they’re still doing the work. So it’s the opposite of cowardice

This, however….

These racist bullies are being financially incentivized by a cruel Trump regime. This sheriff is getting $24,000/day "or $720,000 a month in fees paid by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice) – on top of $36 an hour in transportation fees the jail charges Ice."

Our tax dollars support this

It sure does.
America gambled on a hideous, vile, evil moron.

Watching US politics and the rot in our institutions I can only conclude that the biggest problem with us all facing eternal oblivion is that it makes a lot of people not give a shit about life. Personally, it pushes me in the other direction (and to watch a lot of dumb comedies late at night.)

Wut the….?

Sadly, I had the same thought.
We have to find a way to stop this despicable regime.

Imagine if a screenwriter came up with this idea... OK, the President is a pedo/rapist & a woman who could reveal that is in jail. His supporters want to know the details, but she won't reveal them without a pardon from the pedo-President. But if he pardons her his supporters will know it's true.

This is how you interview people from the Trump admin; past , present, and future. Full stop.

So well done.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics commissioner's biggest mistake? Not going on Joe Rogan.

I’m not an experienced political operative or anything but if I were staffing the federal government during a period where I promised to release sex criminal crime files that I knew I might be in — innocently, of course — I would have staffed it with people who weren’t the dumbest fucking cabal…

What is wrong with the press. Why has possible no reporter asked Donald Trump about. Victims. Victims. Victims. Victims. Victims.

It's truly DISGUSTING to see the focus only on MAGA Voters. I don't care what voters do.

Ask why Donald Trump does not care about Epstein and Maxwell victims

CNN homepage. I would quibble with the use of the word “turn” but I appreciate the sense of alarm.

Well done, John Roberts — your fingerprints are all over the slow destruction of the country we once cherished.

This. ⬇️⬇️ Exactly.

More proof that we have no reason to believe anything this corrupt regime says.

sen. Mike Lee got mad at this piece so please read it:

‘Seems more personal’: Trump’s tariffs on Canada pushing away a crucial trade partner Canada, one of the U.S.’s largest trading partners, was not able to reach a deal with the White House, who instead raised tariffs on some Canadian goods. “Relationships matter,” says Former U.S. Ambassador to Canada David Cohen, “and having and maintaining and preserving those close relationships is an important part of what makes the United States an important country in the world. And when you blow up a relationship as important to that process as the U.S. Canada relationship, there are consequences.”

Of the few trade deals the president has struck, Canada is not one of them. That’s bad news, says fmr. U.S. ambassador to Canada David Cohen. “When you blow up a relationship as important,” he says “as the U.S. and Canada relationship, there are consequences.” #Velshi

If you'd told me in 2005 that Ed Wade was going on the Phillies Wall of Fame, I would have said, "Yeah, and Donald Trump's going to be the president..."

Two posts one right after the other - the first by Will Bunch and the second Bill Kristol expressing dismay about BLS termination and Maxwell prison transfer.

Here’s my timeline. @willbunch.bsky.social and @billkristolbulwark.bsky.social are saying the exact same thing.
