I call bullshit on ANYTHING this guy sez. These stooges have proven beyond reasonable doubt they will lie through their teeth in service to their Master.

COLBERT: You warned everyone…he would prosecute political enemies, cut Medicaid, alienate our allies, give tax cuts to the rich. I know you're not here to say 'I told you so' but would you like to?

HARRIS: You're correct. I did predict a lot of that. But what I did not predict was the capitulation.

Comer says he will postpone Ghislaine Maxwell testimony The House Oversight chair also rejected an immunity request from the Jeffrey Epstein associate.

The scheduled congressional deposition of Ghislaine Maxwell is indefinitely postponed.

BREAKING: We're suing ICE for unlawfully targeting and arresting people who show up to court for their immigration hearings.

President Trump called into question the integrity of the Employment Situation report that the BLS released this morning. He accused BLS Commissioner Erika McEntarfer of deliberately reporting false numbers to reflect poorly on this administration. This baseless, damaging claim undermines the valuable work and dedication of BLS staff who produce the reports each month. This escalates the President’s unprecedented attacks on the independence and integrity of the federal statistical system. The President seeks to blame someone for unwelcome economic news. The Commissioner does not determine what the numbers are but simply reports on what the data show. The process of obtaining the numbers is decentralized by design to avoid opportunities for interference. The BLS uses the same proven, transparent, reliable process to produce estimates every month. Every month, BLS revises the prior two months’ employment estimates to reflect slower-arriving, more-accurate information. This rationale for firing Dr. McEntarfer is without merit and undermines the credibility of federal economic statistics that are a cornerstone of intelligent economic decision-making by businesses, families, and policymakers. U.S. official statistics are the gold standard globally. When leaders of other nations have politicized economic data, it has destroyed public trust in all official statistics and in government science. We call on Congress to respond immediately, to investigate the factors that led to Commissioner McEntarfer’s removal, to strongly urge the Commissioner’s continued service, and ensure that the nonpartisan integrity of the position is retained. The statement from the President undermines these tenets and politicizes data which cannot and should not be used for political points.

"...escalates the President’s unprecedented attacks on the independence & integrity of the federal statistical system.

"The president seeks to blame someone for unwelcome economic news.

"...firing Dr. McEntarfer is without merit & undermines the credibility of federal economic statistics..."

Yet another elected Democratic official violently arrested and detained by Trump’s ICE Gestapo.

This isn’t frog in boiling water.

This fascism is happening quickly, clearly, brazenly.

Wannabe dictator acting like a dictator.

Are we great yet?

14 million Americans will lose health care.
Millions could lose access to food assistance.

So Trump and Republicans can deliver tax cuts to billionaires.

America cannot long remain free, nor first among nations, if it becomes the kind of place where universities are dismantled because they don't align politically with the current head of the government.

And let's be honest...45 was 🐂💩

Rick Wilson on Marco Rubio's debasement "He’s become an obscene parody of the guy Marco Rubio once claimed to be."

New in PN: @therickwilson.bsky.social on Marco Rubio's great debasement

"He’s not only betrayed every value he ever claimed to have, but he’s profoundly — at a level I can barely articulate — harming the country. It’s an astounding comedown for a guy who was once thought of as someone of principle"

Thank You Congressman!!

🚨 I have just introduced articles of impeachment against President Trump.

Donald Trump is not above the law, and when he ignores the constitution, he should be held accountable.

I voted for the email lady and the tan suit guy.

Lisa Murkowski reveals the ugly nature of Trump's rule It's not about persuasion. It's about fear.

New in PN: Lisa Murkowski reveals the ugly nature of Trump's rule

"Trump is not a normal president who governs through persuasion and political savvy. He constantly resorts to coercive threats. A system where that becomes normal isn’t a democracy. It’s a reign of terror."

The biggest problem with this is that if Joe Biden said the same thing, there would have been 27 breaking news alerts about his cognitive abilities within the hour. Why does the press keep giving Donald Trump a pass for his obvious decline?

Hell No to RFK Jr.’s autism registry to track our private health records and even our Apple Watches for so-called research. This reflects some of the most dangerous and reviled authoritarian regimes in world history. We are evaluating all legal avenues to protect patient privacy and public health.

There’s no Alien Enemies Act exception to the Fourth Amendment.

It seems like the federal government wanted to commandeer the judge into doing their law enforcement work, which they cannot do as a constitutional matter. Refusing to assist the federal government is not the same as actively impeding law enforcement. This is highly suspect behavior from the feds.

Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Hannah Dugan arrested by federal authorities at Courthouse Brady McCarron, spokesman for U.S. Marshals Service in Washington, D.C., confirmed Dugan was arrested at about 8 a.m. at the Milwaukee County Courthouse and is in federal custody.

BREAKING: The FBI has arrested a judge who helped migrants avoid ICE. This judge is a hero. www.jsonline.com/story/news/b...

Trump's EPA wants to bring us back to the time before the Clean Air Act 😡 Do you want that? 🤔 #cleanair #momsky

Man whose tax exempt charity was shut down for embezzlement says what now?

It’s almost as though everyone in Trump’s orbit, inside and outside government, gets together on a (non-secure) Zoom call to decide “What’s the most corrupt and illegal thing we can do today?

And on some days they can’t reach consensus so they just go ahead and do them all.
