They’re getting exactly what they voted for in 2024.

Scalise: "When a good day for you is defined by how much suffering you can impose on other people, maybe you need to look in the mirror and check yourself at the door and wonder what it is you're up here trying to accomplish."

Yeah I agree, he should listen to the president and his advisers speak everyone once in a while, they have made it very clear that's their whole thing bsky.app/profile/atru...

Mike Johnson tries for an Academy Award: "I'm upset. I'm a very patient man but I'm very angry right now."

Q: Have you given any more thought to possibly suspending habeas corpus?

TRUMP: Suspending who?

Q: Habeas corpus

TRUMP: I don't know. I'd rather leave that to Kristi.

Noem thinks habeas corpus is the president’s constitutional right to remove people from the country.

Trump?

Thinks Habeas is a person.

Opinion | Trump is turning the ‘war on drugs’ from metaphor into an actual war Beyond the question of whether blowing up boats off Venezuela is legal, what’s the military objective?

Rubio claims that blowing up boats is necessary because “interdiction doesn’t work.” But if stopping 19 vessels over seven weeks “doesn’t work,” it’s hard to know what blowing up four more will achieve. wapo.st/4o9ZEVW

Trump is much weaker than he looks. He's always been a bloated, sloppy, low-IQ flaccid failure. Now he’s a bloated, sloppy, low-IQ flaccid failure desperately trying to distract from all that by attacking US cities with our military and sending his Justice Dept after political opponents.

Putin & President Aliyev are meeting in Azerbaijan

Putin said he made apologies that "the tragedy with the plane of AZAL company happened in the sky over Russia" &expressed "the most sincere condolences" to the families of those killed in the crash

Trump Takes Judges for Fools Rejecting unwarranted deference means preserving judicial review

When Trump publicly admits his nefarious motives judges should not ignore his explicit animus. Judges have a choice: Allow Trump to take them as fools, or look at the facts including his own admissions when assessing his power grabs? open.substack.com/pub/contrari...

Listen, if you can't launch a public, undercover operation against something that doesn't exist, via press release on a microblogging site, can you really call it an undercover operation?

Only the military remains outside Trump’s grip. Despite the firing of several top officers—and his threat to fire more—the U.S. armed forces are still led by generals and admirals whose oath is to the Constitution, not the president. But for how long?

Not necessarily, but very few people elsewhere in the federal government are in a position where they could be ordered to shoot at their fellow citizens.

I loved this paragraph intro...

"Trump and his valet at the Defense Department, Secretary of Physical Training Pete Hegseth..."

Seriously, though, read this.

The Civil-Military Crisis Is Here The leaders of the U.S. military may soon face a terrible decision.

Europe struggles to put homeland defence first Years of expeditionary operations leave it vulnerable if America abandons the continent

Not long ago, Europeans would wave away questions about America’s armed forces leaving the continent. The idea was too catastrophic and outlandish to merit discussion. Now abandonment is a planning scenario

You cannot buy this kind of publicity, the ruling party thinks your upcoming televised mini concert is sexually demonic liberalism and keeps telling the media about why

Starving children screaming for food as US aid cuts unleash devastation and death across Myanmar U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio has repeatedly said “no one has died" because of his government’s decision to gut its foreign aid program.

Horrific reporting from the AP on the Myanmar families watching their kids starve to death from Trump and Musk’s aid cuts apnews.com/article/myan...

The elimination of USAID is a moral atrocity and all involved made a choice to enable, and then lie about, ending the lives of some of the most vulnerable people in the world.

look I am not his audience and know very little about Bad Bunny but an extremely cursory google search tells me that he is in fact one of the most popular entertainers in the world today

The Viral MAGA Accounts Run by a Man Who Has Never Been to America Two influential MAGA social media accounts are run by Rumen Naumovski, a Macedonian who may have illegally donated to a U.S. election.

NEW: A MAGA X account often shared by Senator Mike Lee and House Republicans like Nancy Mace--that often alleges Democrats encourage voting fraud-- is run by a man who not only has never stepped foot in the US, he also illegally donated to an American campaign.

The Median Experience Of Tyranny If the politics of tyranny were self-discrediting, we wouldn't need mantras like "never again."

This is excellent from @brianbeutler.bsky.social & captures a lot of what I'm sensing in the first year of Trump's second term

And then they laughed

ICE GOONS shot an unarmed priest in the eye with a pepper ball, despite him and those around him posing no threat at all.

1. Loud, pious, extremely public devotion to Jesus
2. Blinding hatred for everything Jesus actually taught.
