The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted.

If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.

Standing up to a tyrant - who is willing to impose pain as leverage to compel loyalty or acquiescence - is hard. You can convince yourself that yielding stops the pain and brings you back to "normal".

But there is no "normal". Submission emboldens the tyrant. The threat grows.

that this happened at a healthcare event is just A+, no notes

[looks around for jake tapper] hey man, do you, uh, want to write about this?

This is fucked

Brian Schatz: "This is not about money. There is enough money to bail out Argentina with $20b. There is enough money to purchase a brand new aircraft for $173m for Noem. There is enough money to renovate the WH ballroom. What there isn't enough money for under this Republican government is you."

I am completely awestruck by the ease with which Mike Johnson lies on a daily basis. I'll never understand how such a transparently fraudulent "man of faith" can live with themselves. Life is too short to be that phony.

The notion that regular people could be political agents outside of elections isn’t threatening to them, it’s incomprehensible.

notice the general mood of the timeline? how everyone is in a good mood and there’s a lot less misery and dooming? how there’s a lot of “we’re going to beat these assholes”?

anyway that’s why these events are important

McGovern: Republicans love to advocate for more work requirements for poor people… Let's have a work requirement for Republicans to show up to congress and do your god damn job.

As I stand amid a dizzying swirl of destructive distractions, I'm reminded again of this simple fact: Whatever is in the Epstein files must be incomprehensibly bad. All of this - **waves arms wildly in all directions** - it in service to keeping those files hidden.

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

Pritzker: "One of the reasons Trump wants to send troops into cities is bc he wants to be able to take control of the 2026 elections...if they've got troops in cities, & it becomes a kind of norm for people, then it won't be abnormal for them when they're going to vote having troops at ballot boxes"

Tweet From Obama mentioning my firing from the Washington post. Wirh a photo of me

The last political column I was allowed to write in the @washingtonpost.com was a criticism of Obama.

His people took issue with my piece, but we were respectful.

Now he is tweeting in support of me.

This is how free political speech and respect for debate *actually works*.

Or used to work.

Report: You To Be Fired For Reading This Headline About Charlie Kirk

They’ve taken great care developing that Spock/Kirk bromance this season, I don’t think they’d let it go to waste. Absolutely amped for Academy too.

We must stand resolutely against political assassination and political violence of all kinds, and just as resolutely against everyone who exploits acts of violence as the pretext or excuse for political repression of political opponents.

Very, very bad stuff coming from leading right-wingers

Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker (D) on the shooting of Charlie Kirk:

"Political violence, unfortunately, has ramped up in this country ... I think there are people who are fomenting it in this country. I think the president's rhetoric often foments it."

I'm horrified to hear that Charlie Kirk was shot at an event in Utah.

Democratic societies will always have political disagreements, but we must never allow America to become a country that confronts those disagreements with violence.

Mark and I are praying for Charlie's recovery.

TACO! TACO! TACO!

I think it's good to keep getting mad about evil and unjust things, if only to remind yourself and everyone else that these things are in fact evil and unjust. I don't think it's naive. Nor is it wise and sophisticated to adopt a "You fool, nothing matters and nothing good can ever happen" posture

Obviously "Yield, man!" is a much better political message.

The National Guard is, in some ways, a distraction. What's going to happen in Chicago is going to be a massive ICE enforcement blitz.

everyone is being unfair to mister trump. he finally found a new best friend after his previous best friend died in prison under mysterious circumstances a few years ago. he’s moving on and i for one am happy for him.

Let's go. Democracies die when the regime operates outside of the box and opposition stays in it. Good for California. Other pro-democracy states should follow suit.

We Need To Take Trump’s Rhetoric Seriously, But Not Literally vs. Have That Guy Killed

it's crazy how we just take for granted now that the president is a deranged racist

The weirdest thing about Trump deploying the National Guard to the Nation's Capital is that he still hasn't released the Epstein files despite campaigning on that pledge, probably because he's directly complicit in a massive sex trafficking operation that targeted children.
