Pitiful and downright embarrassing.

Senator Murphy on Twitter: “We aren't on a slippery slope to a constitutional crisis. We are IN the crisis. Time for leaders - political leaders, business leaders, civic leaders - to pick a side: democracy or autocracy?”

As Trump punishes dissenters, defies courts, and ignores the Constitution — all while he and his friends get even richer — the next No Kings Day needs to be our biggest, loudest, and most widespread day of peaceful protest yet: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i... #NoKings

These violent thugs WILL be held accountable in a court of law someday.

There are 340 MILLION OF US.

Don’t you dare get despondent.

STAND UP.

And go GET YOUR COUNTRY BACK.

Please.

Let us not cower. This is all absolutely ridiculous.

Come on now.

The issue is not surrendering. It’s understanding that policy differences don’t make a damn bit of difference if you no longer have the democratic structures in place to debate and decide them. Unite over saving democracy, then we can go back to fighting over our policy differences.

The prospect of Schumer steering the Ds through a shutdown makes me feel queasy.

(Time to wake the fuck up, Ezra.)

Come on Bill, really?! Gimme a break, man.

Is it really intellectual gymnastics and self-delusion? For some perhaps, but I think for many it’s simply an opportunity to cynically promote propaganda in hopes of fomenting more violence.

Stomach-churning, horrible stuff.

Ezra- Your piece on the death of Charlie Kirk was reckless, insulting, condescending, and worst of all, a piece of hagiography. For someone who claims to honor history and context in your work, it reads as if it was written by someone who respects neither of those things.  What does it mean to practice politics in the "right way"? For whom does a "taste for disagreement" benefit? Certainly not the vulnerable populations—trans people, Black women, and more—who Kirk routinely targeted with hate speech and calls for violence.  When I was a college intern at NBC News Washington in 2008, I would watch your MSNBC appearances on the monitor in our office. At that point I could only dream of having a platform like yours, which has grown exponentially since then. Now that I have a platform (albeit it much, much smaller than yours) and I couldn't fathom using it to gaslight the country into believing a hateful man stood for a public good. Maybe it's time to consider how you're using yours.  Marisa

Things that didn't age well

Wish I could read the Ezra Klein piece, but it seems like he really fucked it up.

I’m trying not to get wound up over a title that’s so obviously meant to be clickbait. Really wish I could read the damn thing without a subscription.

I despise Charlie Kirk and every hateful thing he stands for, but today’s shooting was truly horrific. Violence is NEVER the answer.

🤣🤣

Alito and gang want to bring us back to a time when 13 year old girls were sold off as brides, so no, they won’t do a damn thing.

Good news! I hope this is a sign that Dem leaders are evolving into vertebrates under the evolutionary pressures brought to bear by furious constituents with itchy voting fingers.

The DNC is a hot mess.

They seem to momentarily balk at using the terms "children" or "minors", for some reason. Why is that?

I've heard the term "underaged women" used more than once in otherwise solid takes on the Epstein cover-up by pundits I follow, and it's pretty fucked up if you think about it.

Have you ever, and I mean EVER, heard someone use the phrase "underaged men"? In any context?! (a rhetorical question)

Attention: MAGA

😂

To elaborate: a fascist President of the United States inciting civil war.

Doesn’t seem like too much of a stretch to interpret this as the President of the United States inciting a civil war. God help us all.
