Luigi Mangione being escorted by the NYPD.

Luigi Mangione has been indicted on federal charges of two counts of stalking, firearms offense, and murder through the use of a firearm.

Murder through the use of a firearm makes him eligible for the death penalty if convicted.

No matter your station in life, there is astoundingly little separating you from those men in that cage behind Kristi Noem. No charges, no attorneys, no hearings, no trial. Just conjecture and brute force could be enough to justify completely dehumanizing you, too.

Well, they lied. Obviously.

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable.

Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes.

Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.

Are there any big box retailer Buyers here ? Curious how tariffs are impacting your Christmas Season buying ?

My guess is that prices are going way up because of tariffs. Curious if this is accurate or not

Caught about 8 seconds of the SOTU address, and heard him take shots at a developing African country while his cronies laughed. I’m good thanks.

everyone seeing how when you takeaway the DEI the planes start falling out of the sky

we are so cooked

Trump expected to order a crackdown on D.C. crime, homeless encampments The president campaigned against D.C. as a “nightmare of murder and crime.” He is considering an order to crack down on petty crime and clear homeless encampments.

DOJ orders corruption charges against NYC Mayor Eric Adams be dismissed The office of Acting Deputy Attorney General Emil Bove had been involved in discussions with the Southern District of New York and Adams' team about the pending case, a Justice Department official previously told NBC News

Few things better summarize the fact that "tough on crime" is about social control, not actually fighting serious crime, than the contrast between these two stories, both of which came out today.

Trump sued by 22 states over funding cuts to research projects

Trump sued by 22 states over funding cuts to research projects — 22 states filed a lawsuit against Trump's decision to cut research funding for universities.

“Why don’t they play popular music at the Super Bowl anymore.”

You are not powerless, and he is not unstoppable. Look at, and learn from, the funding freeze and how quickly he was forced to surrender.

Is there anyone out there that is mapping any delayed or cancelled federal payments ? Would be really interesting to see which towns and cities are going to be hit

1 dead, 4 hurt after plane owned by Mötley Crüe member crashes at Scottsdale Airport One person has died and four others were injured after an aircraft collision on the runway Monday afternoon at the Scottsdale Airport.

Yet another plane crash on Sean Duffy’s watch— and the *5th* since Trump “ended DEI madness and restored excellent and safety within the FAA.”

Some don't want posts like this on @bsky.app. I want more. Why ?

This is a moderated platform. Which means unbridled hate is removed. And blocked.

Making this is a platform where we can engage and have real discussions on real issues.

@bsky.app w 100m users changes political discourse.

When we generalize about any group of people , we shut out the people who are on the fence. Trump is going to convince a lot of MAGA to stop supporting him. I'm ok being told I have TDS if the end result is that we convince the 1.5m more people that voted for him, to no longer consider him.

Egg prices are surging, gas prices are up, and planes are crashing on a near-daily basis.

And this is what the White House is focused on.

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

hardly the worst ordeal at the moment but having to experience the word DOGE as a serious term multiple times daily is like spiritually stepping on a lego

Popular meme format, grandma labeled with "bluesky's public launch was one year ago today." Younger person helping her labeled with "sure grandma let's get you to bed."

happy first birthday to Bluesky, and what a year it's been!

with every day, the need for an open network that puts people first becomes increasingly clear. we're glad to be building this with you. after all, the heart of a social network is the people.

Do not listen to ANYONE who tells you that everything is hopeless and taking any action is pointless!!!!!

Trump's intentional avalanche of garbage Just because we knew the deluge was coming...doesn't make it any less alarming to behold

"If it feels like an insurmountable amount of garbage is being dumped on us, that's by design. It’s creating such an avalanche of disappointment that we're left feeling disheartened, disillusioned, and discouraged. He wants us to become so numb to injustice that it becomes our new normal."

we have a president with a tenuous grip on small legislative majorities who is out of the gate with a flurry of dramatically unpopular orders and who has just demonstrated his weakness on the international stage. if i were an elected member of his domestic opposition, i might try to draw real blood.

The thing is about being a government employee right now is that they want you to quit. That is, in fact, the goal.
