The Febrile Muse

A UAE investor secretly gave Trump $187 million and his top Middle East envoy $31 million. And then Trump gave that investor access to sensitive defense technology that broke decades of national security precedent.

Brazen, open corruption. And we shouldn't pretend it's normal.

Liam Ramos and this 2 year old Minnesota girl were two of the

Some of those kids have been in detention for 6 months or longer

Former Nye County Republican chairman arrested on child pornography, weapons charges William “Bill” Carns was arrested last Saturday morning following an arrest warrant.

Fmr. county GOP Chair Bill Carns was charged with distribution of CSAM and possessing illegal short-barreled rifles and 'ghost guns' mere months after he finished serving on a police oversight board.

The Republican Party sure attracts the worst of the worst.

Listen to Kenneth!

I hate that we need it, but I’m really proud of our @unbreaking.org team quietly working away on food safety. (Be warned: it’s unsettling 🤢)

ICE agents draw handguns on unarmed observers in Minneapolis for documenting their actions. Guns escalate fear, not safety. Pointing firearms at civilians enforces silence through terror. Congress keeps funding this behavior. Own it. #FundHealthcareOverICE

Please read this whole thread 🧵 especially the witness testimony. These people can still share their stories before lawmakers. The extent to which we also witness is what still makes this possible. #DefundICE #resist

On the night of Dec 18, 2020, Trump was weighing two plans - to seize voting machines (Plan A), or to go with fake electors and a rush on the Capitol (Plan B). Late that night he picked, and rejected seizing voting machines. But then the Capitol attack failed him. So now he's going back to Plan A.

I started Democracy Docket in 2020 to expose the truth about what Trump was going to do to democracy. It has no corporate owners or venture capital investors. It does not bow down. It will will never obey. Sign up now to stay informed and help it grow. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

A follow up on this Jesse Watters clip from 3 weeks ago. The victim of ICE testified today before Congress that she was on her way to a 39th scheduled treatment at a traumatic brain injury center.

This is a red alert moment. Trump and MAGA Republicans are trying to steal the 2026 election. We have to start working to protect polling places from Trump's paramilitary ICE goons before it's too late.

How Not to Defeat Authoritarianism Moderation used to help Democrats win, but its advantages now have been greatly exaggerated.

This @bostonreview.bsky.social piece by @adambonica.bsky.social and @jakemgrumbach.bsky.social is an absolute must-read, as are many of the responses to it.

Spread this one far and wide.

The rumored Trump pick to be U.S. Attorney for New Jersey has under five years of legal experience but is proficient in Microsoft Excel and Office

I'm proud to announce the completion of @cahsra.bsky.social’s Southern Railhead Facility in Kern County, a significant step forward in building the nation's first high-speed rail system.

We're laying the foundation for a transportation future that's cleaner, faster, and more connected.

And he will burn America to the ground to protect himself. As a result, his sex crimes are endangering the lives of every single US Citizen and destroying The American Experiment

250 years of a great Nation, in the history of the world, trashed by one orange narcissist sex pest helped by cowards

You know what the difference is between Trump and Epstein?

Epstein lost his international protections when his participation in working with the FSB was outed.

Trump is terrified of the Epstein files, but not because of American politics, because of the implications with RU leadership.

"I wish you would just hold me in contempt of court so I can get 24 hours of sleep"

they simply don't have enough guys and nowhere is it clearer than the DOJ

they're overwhelmed, they're overworked, and everyone who's still there is desperately trying to line up a new job as we speak

You need to get control of your police department and mobilize them and the national guard to protect your citizens. Otherwise we’re just slow rolling the secret police takeover of the United States. It’s going to happen one way or the other. Meanwhile people are being beaten, tortured and killed.

Minnesota needs to know the number of children in federal detention, who they are, and where they’re being held.

The Russia, Russia, Russia was not a hoax at all....

They are blackmailing the President of the United States...

Poland has a long history of dealing with Russian intel operations.

The Trump/Russia connection is real and the Epstein files have blown it open.

I don't know what a Wired subscription costs now but it was a great deal when I got it and I actually read most of the pieces. Highly recommend!

"These practices must end now."

Aliya Rahman, a U.S. citizen who was dragged from a car by ICE agents in Minnesota, speaks out at a congressional hearing on DHS immigration enforcement tactics.

And the next reporter asked the same thing?

A journalist asks about justice for Epstein survivors.
He responds by attacking her; her face, her demeanor, her smile.

When the question is dangerous, he goes after the woman asking it. Not her facts. Not her reporting. Her existence.

And survivors are watching.

So are our daughters.

Democrats want you to step aside and let an actual fighter lead the caucus.

You are fucking awful at this.

i think telling him to shut the fuck up to his face would heal me
