The ‘Peace President’ killed six more people off the coast of Venezuela this morning. We have no evidence other than his word that they were a threat to anyone, anywhere and also release the Epstein files. Thank you for your attention in this matter!

We need a special peace envoy to the US.

Great work by my friend @kenjenkinsny.bsky.social. More public officials should stand up the way Ken has in Westchester.

The Project 25 bros thought it would all be over in 25. Only 11 weeks left. Not even close. Quite the opposite, actually. Grim as things are, they're running short of time. And they banked on far more popularity. Not happening.

Anybody want this T-shirt?

JB Pritzker has also been emphatically placing Trump's mental decline squarely on the agenda. On our pod, he adds a new element: People around Trump are using his decline to manipulate him, so they're less likely to intervene. More Dems should say this. 1/

Kerkering is now a verb.

Disgusting perversion of the law. Sickening fascism. No other accurate way to describe it.

Really!

You know who's having pretty decent messaging weeks? Mikie Sherrill, Hakeem Jeffries, and (yes folks) Chuck Schumer.

Kindness is now a crime.

They are trying to criminalize homelessness.

How disgusting you have to be as a person to do that.

Damn classist morons.

At this rate, when this is done, people will reject capitalism as vile and find another system. The elite are beyond greedy.

We would like to thank Kristi Noem for bringing cameras with her everywhere and collecting evidence for her future trial at The Hague.

Pritzker: "This guy is unhinged. He's insecure. He's a wannabe dictator. And there's one thing I really want to say to Donald Trump. If you come for my people, you come through me. So come and get me."

I really believe that huge majorities of Americans don’t want masked soldiers shooting priests in the street. They don’t want naked children ripped out out of their apartments in the middle of the night and handcuffed. We win by making sure these stories get told.

Staff, indeed. 😂

Sweet home, Chicago.

YouTube video by CNN ICE's Chicago raid: Black Hawk helicopters, flashbangs, kids in zip ties

Deleted that last post - can verify multiple reports of zip ties and kids in Chicago, but not the image itself. Came from trusted source, but could be wrong. Still, story of ICE cruelty here:

This morning, the Trump Administration’s Department of War gave me an ultimatum: call up your troops, or we will. It is absolutely outrageous and un-American to demand a Governor send military troops within our own borders and against our will.

New York Times: "Trump Administration Asks Colleges to Sign ‘Compact’ to Get Funding Preference." The White House asked nine top universities to pledge support for President Trump’s agenda to help ensure access to research funding.

IF ANY CALIFORNIA UNIVERSITY SIGNS THIS RADICAL AGREEMENT, THEY'LL LOSE BILLIONS IN STATE FUNDING — INCLUDING CAL GRANTS — INSTANTLY.

CALIFORNIA WILL NOT BANKROLL SCHOOLS THAT SELL OUT THEIR STUDENTS, PROFESSORS, RESEARCHERS, AND SURRENDER ACADEMIC FREEDOM.

It took 20 years to go from Dan Rather to Bari Weiss.

This is both shocking and a long time coming. As I reported for @nymag.com, the ADL made few friends in the Trump administration, despite its many, many attempts to please MAGA. nymag.com/intelligence...

Reminder to anyone going weak in the damned knees: Republicans control the entire government. Everything is on them. Every last thing.

The Trump Administration's DHS officers appear to be carrying large weapons around downtown Chicago in camouflage and masks.

This is not making anybody safer — it’s a show of intimidation, instilling fear in our communities and hurting our businesses.

“Show us your warrant!”

“Ma’am, you’ve been watching too many movies. We’ll show you the warrant after we’re done.” 🤔

*busts in the door with babies crying*

Accurate.

If these people aren’t fascists then that word just has no meaning.

Trump is accelerating his attack on Americans.
He's jailing his enemies.
He's silencing his opposition.
He's militarizing our cities.
Because he knows he is about to lose the House of Representatives.
He's knows he must work fast to complete his fascist takeover.

Trump’s Eruption of Rage at Texas ICE Shooting Hints at a Darker Story To Trumpworld, the Dallas shooting appears to provide the perfect pretext to start silencing wholly lawful advocacy groups—for inciting “violence and terrorism.”

Appallingly, right now officials at the highest levels of the US state are concocting pretexts for investigations and agency actions against groups engaged in lawful political advocacy, all to destroy civil society and facilitate authoritarianism.
