It. Is. Bezos. Shitting. On. The. Front. page. Of. His. Once. Great. Paper.

Proud of my Senator @chrismurphyct.bsky.social

He is brilliant, knowledgeable and with unflinching moral clarity. He would be a truly great President

Opinion | Trump upending world order will cost America dearly The decline of American influence is a gift to Russia and China.

“The US spent 8 decades building an international system of rules, norms and values that has produced the longest period of great power peace and global prosperity in human history.” Fareed Zakaria on how upending the world order will only weaken America: www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

Yet again Trump is punishing his own people

Opinion | How Trump is reshaping reality by hiding data Sweeping statistical purges are part of a broader attempt to reinvent “truth.”

“The Trump administration is deleting taxpayer-funded data — information that Americans use to make sense of the world. In its absence, the president can paint the world as he pleases.” The war on truth is every dictator’s dream.

Murphy: "If we continue to observe norms, if we continue to engage in business as usual, this democracy could be gone. I don't think we have a year to save American democracy. I think the way the president is acting ... puts out democracy at immediate risk."

As @amoneyresists.bsky.social pointed out, Elon Musk is a mass murderer.

Trump ended funding to Voice of America and Radio Liberty, forcing both to stop broadcasting to countries that restrict press freedom. VOA began operations in 1942; RL started in 1951.

Why did Trump silence this voice against communism, fascism and oppression? Iran, Russia and China are thrilled.

Billionaires paying millionaires to convince the middle class to blame poor people. Meanwhile, the billionaires aren't paying any taxes and receive billions from the federal government. People have been falling for this for decades.

Up chuck!

This is Chuck.

Chuck is selling a book.

Chuck also has a full-time job.

I would consider buying Chuck’s book if he were doing that job, but he’s not.

Don’t be like Chuck.

And don’t buy Chuck’s book.

If you’re tired of @schumer.senate.gov constantly falling for the okey-doke and you want bold winning leadership that is willing to go on offense, then #TheReformers is for you. We are calling for Sen Schumer (D-NY) to step down from his leadership role and let someone else take over the reigns.

Incontrovertible Facts!!!

NYT: “The White House did not comment on why the group had altered the contracts data or why it’s now harder for the public to scrutinize it.”

The *savings* have been changed and altered — and are nowhere near what @MarshaBlackburn claims they are.

Opinion | The Authoritarian Endgame on Higher Education This is a moment to trumpet the strengths of higher education and address its weaknesses.

Attacks on universities are attacks on democracy and human progress. “University leaders would help themselves, and the country, by emerging from their defensive crouches and making a forthright case for inquiry, research, science and knowledge.”

Murphy: "This is not a normal political fight. What Trump is doing right now is absolutely insidious. He is every single day acting unconstitutionally, he is trying to destroy the rule of law ... this to me is a moment where we need to be restraining POTUS's power, not giving him new authorities"

Trumpers are Traitors!!!!

Trump administration deports hundreds of migrants even as judge orders that removals be stopped The Trump administration has transferred hundreds of immigrants to El Salvador even as a federal judge issued an order temporarily barring the deportations under an 18th century wartime declaration ta...

It's to the point where he brazenly breaks the law with impunity. He never suffers consequences for his behavior. It pisses me off.

Jeffries: "The average Social Security recipient in the US receives about $65 a day in benefits. Elon Musk in his contracts with the federal government gets about $8 million a day. If they were really interested in waste, fraud, and abuse, they would start there ... but they're going after grandma"

It time for new leadership.

Schumer’s New York Times interview is a disaster after a dumpster fire.

He needs to go. Now.

Bulwark on Sunday: Trump Said He Was Targeting Criminals In Migrant Sweeps. That’s Not What’s Happening. American Immigration Council Senior Fellow Aaron Reichlin-Melnick joins Bill Kristol for Bulwark on Sunday to discuss the first 60 days of Trump’s immigration policy, why he is failing to reach the nu...

I learned a ton here from @reichlinmelnick.bsky.social — both about the ins and outs of Trump’s immigration policies, and about the bigger picture meaning of the overall point of his immigration policy, rhetoric, and disregard for both the facts and the law.

Murphy: "The president is continuing to act unconstitutionally. He shut down some of our most important programs that protect us abroad, like Radio Free Europe, that were funded & authorized in that spending bill. So it doesn't seem like we have restrained any of the president's lawlessness."

Lol
