@barackobama.bsky.social: "When I was POTUS, I suppose I could have simply unilaterally ordered the military to go into some red state and harass and intimidate a governor or cut off funding for states that didn't vote for me... but that is contrary to how I think our democracy is supposed to work."

The commander in chief telling troops who they have to vote for is itself a presidency ending impeachable scandal.

Can we say this louder, use subtitles, sign language or crayon drawings to break through the cognitive dissonance of the cult?

Pam Bondi’s Epstein Testimony Exposed the Whole Game The Epstein files are related to the rest of the legal chaos we are experiencing.

"Pam Bondi may be in charge of many officials and many investigations and many legal things at the DOJ, but what she is protecting is neither justice nor law. "

WHEN YOU BRUTALIZE IMMIGRANTS, ARREST JOURNALISTS, TRY TO STEAL ELECTIONS, AND USE THREATS OF IMPRISONMENT AND VIOLENCE TO ENFORCE CONFORMITY. DON’T COMPLAIN ABOUT BEING CALLED FASCISTS.

We see you.

They need to pull the World Cup from the US this year and ban US participation in all international events -- the arts, sports, anything -- until Trump is gone.

JANE FONDA: “I know Don Lemon. My husband created CNN. And I will fight for their right to speak… they arrested the wrong Don. This is how autocrats act. We can’t fall for it.”

Swalwell: "The masks has to come off. These guys, the don't just wear these masks for their own anonymity. They wear it for moral cover. They hide their identities from us and their humanity from themselves. So their masks have to come off. Period."

This is one of the ten people in the country who could put an immediate stop to ~90% of the things. Today. Just absolute Profiles in Cowardice.

Mamdani: "I am in support of abolishing ICE. What we see is an entity that has no interest in fulfilling its stated reason to exist. We're seeing a government agency that is supposed to be enforcing some kind of immigration law, but instead what it's doing is terrorizing people."

Some of us once thought Kristi Noem was foolish to brag about shooting her dog to death. We should have realized she was advertising her cold-blooded brutality for Trump, and he was so impressed he gave her the job of terrorizing immigrants and protesters.

Pardon my coup Accurate political journalism requires a bias toward democracy

if we can't clearly say that a party whitewashing a coup is anti-democratic and un-American, then we've truly lost the plot

I find it more than ironic that at a time when almost the entire conservative moment is trying to defend their Dear Leader's relationship with the world's most notorious child sex trafficker, their new celeb of choice is the wife of a registered sex offender.

It is time to accept that SCOTUS is illegitimate and must be replaced.

The conservative supermajority has willingly destroyed the institution's credibility to empower Trump and facilitate an oligarchy. We need to remake the high court now, or Americans will suffer under this rule for decades.

U.S. military spending is set to hit a record $1 trillion.

Roughly half of defense spending goes to private contractors that routinely price-gouge the government.

Meanwhile, the Pentagon has failed EIGHT straight audits.

This is the military industrial complex on steroids.

This really hasn’t gotten enough attention this week.

This is what happens when you elect #Republican nepo baby's and give them daddy's credit card...

Elon spent two months in PA to figure out on Election Day WHEN he would start manipulating the votes. This is what it looks like around 50-55%, where Kamala starts losing votes, while Trump starts gaining votes, so they cross over. This is statistically impossible. It's digital vote stuffing.

The New York Yankees remind me a lot of the American healthcare system: they spend a lot more than the Canadian side but they don't see it in the results.

As the Trump shutdown drags into its third week, it's clear Republicans are so committed to raising people's health care costs that they're willing to hold the country hostage to do it.

ICYMI: “And now, a response from the leader of the frog resistance...” 🐸 🎵 #Colbert

IN DONALD TRUMP'S AMERICA YOU CAN NO LONGER TELL THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A WHITE NATIONALIST HATE GROUP AND FEDERAL AGENTS

🤬

Don’t forget.

Trump’s Addiction to Watching Fox Is Killing American Democracy Our country is falling apart because one old man, Trump advisers and former administration officials say, won’t stop ‘yelling’ at his TV.

For my piece today at @zeteo.com i wanted to truly underscore how punishingly stupid american fascism is now. Like, my original proposed headline for this was:
