Labeling it a “settlement” doesn’t immunize it. If money benefits a candidate/official and a favor’s expected, that’s classic quid pro quo under bribery/election law. Follow intent, not spin.

Leavitt: "As for as ICE being at the Super Bowl, as far as I'm aware there's no tangible plan for that in store right now. However, of course, this administration is always going to arrest and deport illegal immigrants when we find them."

Lessons from a Red Scare The American people are capable of turning the tide against repression.

The last time a president and his cronies - including a young J. Edgar Hoover - tried to mass deport Americans they didn't like, the nation stopped them, as I discuss here.

Let's review the numbers. The economy they inherited from Biden had created 16 million jobs. Trump has yet to prove he can create jobs, no matter how Chavez-DeRemer tries to spin the narrative.

Every time he speaks it sounds like a fever dream. No wonder his staff spends half their time clarifying what he meant.

Imagine being a military leader who’s dedicated their life to national defense, only to have a guy who can’t spell “aesthetic” lecture you about ship design. Embarrassing.

Lawrence: Could you give us your reaction to that video Trump posted tonight?

Jeffries: It's a disgusting video and we're going to continue to make clear: bigotry will get you nowhere. We are fighting to protect the health care of the American people

Trump told us he wanted to be a dictator. The terrifying part is millions of people heard that and said, “Sounds good to me.” That’s the real danger.

The party of "personal responsibility" refuses to take responsibility for shit.

Trump: "In addition to negotiating the Abraaaham Accords -- I like to say it that way because the real people that's what they call, Abraaham. I would say 'Abraham.' But it's so much nicer when you say 'Abraaham.'"

yeah they're just murdering random people on these boats

1. More Americans work at the Cheesecake Factory than in the entire coal industry, and that won't change. It's because of automation, not snooty libs.

2. Coal energy is now more expensive than wind and solar.

3. So this means: higher energy prices, more pollution, no jobs benefit. Genius!

“We need to stand with Comey now against Trump’s ugly authoritarian abuses. But we also need to recognize that Comey’s strategy of pre-capitulation got him, and all of us, into this mess in the first place.”

America’s most farming-dependent counties backed Trump by an average of 78%, up from both 2016 & 2020, despite him previously instigating a trade war that caused higher prices for supplies & decreased exports. Soy farmers are projected to lose 16M tons of exports to China in the next 3 months alone.

This man is a buffoonish shill for the fossil fuels industry. The stupidity here is staggering.

One of Trump’s own former attorneys….

This person is now the US Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia.

And leading the prosecution of #JimComey.

You cannot trust the federal government Everything they say should be assumed to be a lie.

Kash Patel’s FBI has been steadily purged of those not loyal to Trump — competent professionals, that is. So how are we to believe the agency isn’t selectively releasing evidence that supports a narrative of left-wing violence?

As a resident of #Portland it is impossible to capture how unhinged this is. We are a low crime city and the ICE protest "siege" consists of one auxiliary ICE office that normally has at most a dozen weirdos debating what performance art they should use to block a single driveway

The tragicomical indictment of James Comey In a sane country this thing would be laughed out of court.

The tragicomical indictment of James Comey...

"...so when news of it dropped Thursday night, it wasn’t as much a surprise as a confirmation that the Trump administration is completely out of control."

The latest from @snipy.bsky.social...

If we're finally going to crack down about lying to Congress under oath, I think there are several Cabinet members and a few Supreme Court justices whose testimonies might need revisiting.

omfg it's day 3 of still talking about the fucking escalator

Oh, I understand, it's "national" socialism.

Why does that sound familiar?

Oh my, are they saying the president is so physically frail he can’t walk up stairs? Oh my, that is concerning.

Here’s how a guy who wrote a book on the subject explained treason when we spoke in 2019. The definition is not “made the president mad for vague reasons.”

Billionaires, lawyers, college presidents you can stand up for the rest of us anytime….. I know it might be inconvenient but this guy is driving us into a ditch

Government ownership of the means of production, and if you don’t like it, you’re a “radical socialist”.

I remember when the press was on a weeks-long feeding frenzy because of concerns over the (former) president’s mental state. That concern seems gone 🙄🙄🙄

Tonight’s Jimmy Kimmel monologue was a watershed moment for politics and free speech. He handled it with grace, dignity and humility. The more Trump comes after these people the less popular he will become.
