Just as a reminder, Bondi’s origin story in Trump world is that she said she was going to investigate Trump University, Trump sent her a $25K check and the investigation disappeared. She later became Trump’s personal defense lawyer. So yeah, don’t challenge her integrity.

Actually rescinding appropriations is proof that the GOP has no idea how to negotiate. They don’t intend to abide by any bargain struck.

We’re in a moment now where it would be worth people taking three hours to watch Gandhi, particularly the scene of the salt march. There is value to making the brutality of your opponent so plain as day that no one can argue with it. The clarity of that brought down an empire

Marine Le Pen has already toppled two French governments in less than a year. She didn’t even need to pull the trigger to kill off a third one.

The White House told law enforcement across the country to investigate or charge groups advocating views that it disagrees with, like “anti-Americanism, anti-capitalism, and anti-Christianity.”

No one is above the law. The public deserves transparency & accountability from government leaders. We'll be in court to get answers.

Yeah, I noticed they took a week of recess before the end of the fiscal year, with no deal. Inspiring…

Get back to work is such a funny thing for a congressman to say but i bet there are a lot of conservatives looking up from a few hours playing candy crush or hay fever and nodding their heads solemnly bsky.app/profile/atru...

Art of the Deal: Crush US farmers with tariffs. Then give $20B to a country that grows soybeans. China buys all their soybeans from country we just have $20B to. Then we bail out the farmers with tax money.

SOOO much winning 🙄

"What if Putin had dementia?" is a perfect description of Trump.

How much is Russia paying him now?

"Designated a foreign agent..."

Really shows how much Russian authorities think of their civil society.

What are those beige things on the end of the muzzles of their guns?

Everyone should listen to Chris Murphy's extraordinary warning about Trump on our pod. First, he says the logic must be that the more lawless he gets, the stiffer the resistance.

"If I give in and consent to these kinds of tactics then it just normalizes it all." 1/

Bravo, we need to shout this from the rooftops.

White House Uses Shutdown to Maximize Pain and Punish Political Foes

How you know this is a Republican shutdown.

They’re loving it. That’s who they are.

Sure, and the shooting down of MH17 is probably Europe's fault too. Not the people who put the BUK where it was, gave the order to fire and pressed the button, and the one person in the Kremlin who could have been the only one authorizing the deployment of the BUK.

Europe's fault is that it exists.

Thune warns Democrats about Russ Vought: ‘We don’t control what he’s going to do’ The Senate majority leader spoke out as some Republicans express qualms about the White House slash-and-burn campaign.

Don't let them gaslight you — Senate Republicans are complicit in everything coming out of this White House.

Trump Lays Siege To The Federal Government From Inside Its Walls A lot of things happened. Here are some of the things. This...

The shutdown isn’t an impasse over legislation. It’s not the old “gridlock” in Washington. It’s not even a partisan fight in the traditional sense. Trump and the MAGA hordes have laid siege to the gov't from inside its walls, much as they auto-couped on Jan. 6.

Don't forget the orphans.

Me, I worry I'm already too old to see that day.
