Trump on Prince Andrew and the Epstein scandal: "I feel very badly. I mean, it's a terrible thing that's happened to the family. That's been a tragic situation. And it's too bad. I feel badly for the family."

Ugly, dishonest, dangerous, divisive, and completely un-American. But a reminder that Christian Nationalism is a very real and growing threat to our nation.👇

Pritzker: "If the Constitution means anything -- and I guess we all are questioning that right now -- the Insurrection Act cannot be invoked ... they just want troops on the ground because they want to militarize especially blue cities in blue states."

It’s the Feds making Portland look like a war zone— not the protesters.

And honestly, these protesters are brilliant. They’re flipping the whole authoritarian cosplay on its ass!

in Canada, the Liberals were historically unpopular, then Trump started talking about the 51st state stuff, the Liberal leader did a lot of talk about resisting him, and the polls looked like this:

Kimmel and Comey Highlight the Trump Regime's Limitations Their desire for authoritarian abuse is bottomless, their ability to carry it out is not

Good @nicholasgrossman.bsky.social piece on the need to recognize that Trump's consolidation of authoritarian power is not limitless. He's facing serious resistance, he's losing on a number of fronts, and Trump doesn't want you to know any of that:

The problem is she’s not low rent among MAGAs, despite being a vile bottom-feeder by any normal standard.

In the new NYT poll, 58% of independents disapprove of Trump's handling of the economy. He's in a really weakened state. Dems, hold the line.

In this discussion, @alexshephard.bsky.social and I make the case for standing firm:

Don't forget that he's also going to be using the same money to bail out Argentina after they enacted the same policies he and the Republicans are enacting and it destroyed their economy. Who will be the one to bail us out when the same thing happens here? I thought handouts were a bad thing.

Very good @aselrod.bsky.social piece. They are attempting to summon into existence the New MAGA Man, similar to the New Soviet Man and other totalitarian imaginings and creations:

Carol Burnett Plays On The ninety-two-year-old comedy legend has influenced generations of performers. In a string of recent TV roles, she has been co-starring with some of her closest comedic heirs.

Carol Burnett is roundly considered, as Amy Poehler puts it, an “unproblematic fave,” whose status as a national treasure is without controversy. Burnett prefers things that way. Read Rachel Syme’s Profile of the 92-year-old comedy legend.

Our protest sign has TRAITOR and DICTATOR on the sign. We never mention the MFer.

But every MAGA that drives by knows exactly who we're talking about. They come unglued.

Good thread here

MAGA fucking disgusts me. Look at them pivot so quickly now that #CharlieKirk's shooter was from a religious conservative family and bro was a suspected Nick Fuentes fan who took Fuentes v Kirk beef seriously. Fucking unreal what a joke MAGA's intelligence is. Keep calling out their lies.

it's almost as if letting the media consolidate at the hands of center-right amoral billionaires primarily interested in access, tax cuts, and mindless deregulation provably harms journalism and the quest for informed electoral consensus!

These things seem to age like milk...

For you sir.

A headline by The Washington Post reads: "Health insurance premiums poised to spike over drug costs, tariff threats"

REPUBLICANS ARE RAISING HEALTH CARE PRICES THROUGH THE ROOF.

This is exactly why Democrats are fighting to lower them.

If this guy from a gun loving Republican family concluded at some point, according to one alleged piece of evidence that Kirk was “filled with hate,” he came to that conclusion AS AN INDIVIDUAL, and people who support the Democratic Party have NOTHING TO DO WITH IT, you scumbags.

I used to read books like Lord of the Rings or watch movies like Star Wars and think the villains were unbelievable. And of course, now watching the tech oligarchs (who could not spend all their money if they tried) destroy civilization for power, I’m like, guess I was wrong. People are that awful.

I miss the days when rugby league was simpler. There was no bunker, no Sportsbet ads and apparently the Balmain Tigers were sponsored by the concept of “computers”

Here’s what was NOT released today:

- the proffer agreement between Maxwell and the DoJ

- the agreement transferring Maxwell to club fed

- communications showing who waived Maxwell’s sex offender status allowing her transfer and possible work assignments outside prison

- the Epstein files

They’re lighting democracy on fire.
