Leaked document. Yikes, things are about to get much worse. It looks like we’re on the verge of becoming a military state across the country. Step out of line, and the man come and take you away.

we're now a hair away from it being "treason" to utter a single critical syllable about Dear Leader on any topic whatsoever

I always get drawn back to Al Gore telling voters that he’d only raise taxes on the top 1% and then after the election a poll showed that something like 20% of voters thought they were in the top 1% and another 20% thought they would be in the next five years. Just a total tragic disconnect.

The President wants to use the military to crack down on Americans who are exercising their 1st Amendment rights to oppose him. I can’t think of a better reason to insist on exercising those rights.

When I explain that boycotting an election over an issue has never once forced a politician to embrace that issue, I'm not "scolding people to vote." I'm explaining reality.

Feel free to sit on your ass! Just don't pretend that your lazy apathy is somehow going to advance your agenda.

Q: "What's your reaction to Jesus telling you that you must *give* to the poor, not take away from the poor?"

Speaker Mike Johnson is perpetually trying to deceive people. He uses his milquetoast speech and persona to mask his determination to ruthlessly cause harm. He wears his β€œChristianity” on his sleeve as a decoy from his evil intentions. He is not a good person, he just tries to play one on TV.

Donald Trump has incoherent dementia riddled "South Carererdddd" meltdown Donald Trump has never been any good at trying to use social media (remember covfefe?), but these days he’s suffering from symptoms consistent with advanced dementia on top of it.

A people who would allow a president to ignore all proper procedures, rules, norms, and laws and unilaterally demolish a third of the people’s house and build a palace on the grounds of the people’s house is a people who deserve to live under tyranny.

Note: This is me β€” I asked this question.

You’ll hear me say β€œyes you have” here β€” because Johnson was already *directly asked* about one of these instances (when the Presbyterian minister was shot in the head with a pepper ball) in one of earlier shutdown press conferences.

And the non-reaction from @jaketapper.bsky.social is almost more appalling than her racism.
