Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

The thing I don't entirely understand about the constant looming presence of fictional armed left-wing militants in the right-wing imagination is: where are they imagining these people are?

Hanging out at the gun ranges of Cambridge, MA and Berkeley, CA?

Engraving bullets in the faculty lounge?

pretty weird how there's always billion dollars just lying around whenever ICE needs concentration camps but there's never any money when children need healthcare or a simple school lunch. oh well just one of those things I guess

Do they really think they can scare us with the word “socialist” when they are literally sending out men in masks with no warrants and no badges to disappear people off American streets?

I know what I’m scared of, and it’s not a socialist.

Especially if you're on the fence about it, protest today. Fascism is isolating and lonely. Its very goal is to make you feel like you're the only person unwilling to accept a cult of personality. On days like today you fully realize there are more of us than there are them. You will feel better.

Happy #FlagDay. The flag belongs to all of us. Don’t let anyone appropriate patriotism. 🇺🇸

If your response to this video is, “That’s what I voted for”—
Fuck you. Fuck you very much.

You’re heartless.

Every lawyer who argued that the admin couldn't get these people back should be hauled before the court to explain why they shouldn't be assumed to have lied when they said that.

The same goes for lawyers. Learning requires practice, and writing is a perishable skill if kept unused.

Staple this to RFK Jr’s forehead.

Trump Officials Blame Mistake for Setting Off Confrontation With Harvard (Gift Article) An official on the administration’s antisemitism task force told the university that a letter of demands had been sent without authorization.

Ooops! Ooopsie! Did we do that? We didn't mean to do that. Definitely don't blame us for doing that.

Oops! Day one funding freeze
Oops! Ebola
Oops! Nuclear security workers
Oops! Bird flu
Oops! PEPFAR
Oops! HHS firings

And on and on and on...

Now this.

The Supreme Court has blocked any new deportations under the Alien Enemies Act of 1798.

SCOTUS is acting in response to an emergency appeal by lawyers from the ACLU.

The Court has directed the Trump regime not to remove Venezuelan immigrants held in the Bluebonnet Detention…

This is an obvious point, but cannot overstated. There is an enormous difference between deporting someone - where they get off a plane as a free citizen in their home country AND FUNNELING THEM INTO A BRUTAL PRISON FROM WHICH THEY HAVE NO CHANCE OF EVER EMERGING!!!

Anyone who is SURPRISED by Trump Tariffs was deluding themselves. This wasn’t like the Project 2025 stuff that he disclaimed.

He talked about these over and over and over again.

You may be fearing your 401k is no longer enough for you to retire. But with all the cuts to NIH and Medicare you also won't live as long. So the policies are integrated.

This is perfect. Absolutely perfect.

I don’t do this often and promise not to make a habit of it, but just this once: WE TRIED TO WARN YOU!!!!!

Whoever came up with these supposed tariff rates is like Kramer from Seinfeld when he pretended to work at that job "in business"

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive.

No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief.

1/ A 🧵 to explain his plan and how we fight back.

We put tariffs on an uninhabited island full of penguins but not Russia.

Very normal administration we have here.

It’s worth stating this simply: For literally anyone in the US Govt from 1945 to 2025, Signalgate would require an instant resignation—and a criminal investigation. It would be a matter of personal *honor* to resign. The fact Mike Waltz & Pete Hegseth are choosing to fight it out is a terrible omen.

Almost every major Trump action is intentionally illegal. Trump is gambling that the US democratic system is too broken to stop him. He assumes, to adapt a phrase: "All we've got to do is kick the door in and the whole edifice will come crumbling down."

The testing hour is here.

Celebrate International Women's Day by interrupting men with your unsolicited opinions and taking credit for their work. If they get upset about it, be sure to tell them that they sound hysterical and should smile more.

Being able to drop a quarterly US GDP prediction by 5.1% from +2.3% to -2.8% in a single week is one of the most impressive economic developments in the history of the world.

BREAKING: Foreign-born leader comes to Oval Office, dressed down in a disrespectful manner, having already received billions from America, asking for American taxpayers to keep paying him more billions, subsidizing him for years to come:

Joni Mitchell, Stevie Nicks, Green Day, Red Hot Chile Peppers, Stephen Stills, Graham Nash, No Doubt, Pink, John Fogerty, Atlantis Morissette.

Yes please. #fireaid

She sounds very thoughtful and smart. You are a lucky man.
