In a remotely sane world, Trump would immediately resign or be removed from office by his party, which should then demolish itself for having pledged its loyalty to this man.

Trump Pardons Giuliani and Others Involved in Effort to Overturn 2020 Election

"President Trump has granted pre-emptive pardons to Rudolph W. Giuliani and others accused of trying to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election, according to an official familiar with the matter." Others include Sidney Powell, John Eastman. [Gift link]

The coordinated nature of this—none are facing voters in 2026—means that either Schumer approved it or failed in his job as Senate Majority Leader to stop it.

Dems voting "no" get zero credit until they demand a change in leadership. Schumer out as Leader, Durbin out as Whip.

I want you to understand what it is like to live in Chicago during this time. Every day my phone buzzes. It is a neighborhood group: four people were kidnapped at the corner drugstore. A friend a mile away sends a Slack message: she was at the scene when masked men assaulted and abducted two people on the street. A plumber working on my pipes is distraught, and I find out that two of his employees were kidnapped that morning. A week later it happens again. An email arrives. Agents with guns have chased a teacher into the school where she works. They did not have a warrant. They dragged her away, ignoring her and her colleagues’ pleas to show proof of her documentation. That evening I stand a few feet from the parents of Rayito de Sol and listen to them describe, with anguish, how good Ms. Diana was to their children. What it is like to have strangers with guns traumatize your kids. For a teacher to hide a three-year-old child for fear they might be killed. How their relatives will no longer leave the house. I hear the pain and fury in their voices, and I wonder who will be next. Understand what it is to pray in Chicago.

“I want you to understand what it is like to live in Chicago during this time.”

BERNIE: “This senate is about to make a horrific situation even worse… health insurance premiums will double/triple/quadruple… some will pay 50% of their income… 15 million will lose insurance… 50,000 will die unnecessarily…”

#MedicareForAllNOW

This right here.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.

The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.

People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.

And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

The Christian persecution is coming from the WH.

What we're watching: A new take on "Frankenstein," a lavish legal drama starring Kim Kardashian and a Tracy Morgan-led spinoff.

sometimes an Oxford comma can make all the difference

And there go the illegal fireworks! I'm guessing the Dodgers won.

i hate that AI has now caused me to question the authenticity of cute animal videos online, which is my primary use of social media. i don't even know if this baby penguin actually wore a beret to go buy a tiny baguette in paris

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.

This man is not well. And very dangerous.

We should just call him Mike "Know Nothing" Johnson.

I can’t help but think today about how many young people were savaged on social media, branded as anti-semites and abandoned by their schools for daring to call for a ceasefire. I remember saying that it was the first time I can remember that calling for ceasefire was regarded as a hostile demand.

I need a "Catholics against JD Vance" t-shirt.

The campaign against “antifa” is about establishing a beachhead for further attacks on speech and assembly rights. We see that today in the effort to preemptively label No Kings protesters as “terrorists.”

Grace For The World, a concert held at the Vatican. It's available on Disney+ and Hulu.

Grace For The World was an absolutely beautiful display of joy, unity, and peace through music. I hope The Vatican does more events like this.

Kept it going into the early 2000s and convinced my mom to redecorate our bathroom with dolphins. Still have a few towels.

While Republicans are endlessly lecturing everyone else about civility and respect, part of civility and respect is following rules and norms, but the median American is 38 years old and in their lifetime Republicans have never let rules and norms stop them from doing what they wanted to do.

Northern Ireland man from Lisburn kidnapped by Trump’s Ice raids because he “looked like a Mexican”. He had the correct visa, all his documents. He’s never been in trouble with police.

Held in terrible conditions. A fellow captive couldn’t get his medication and dropped dead of a heart attack

What happens when ICE detains someone from the LAPD/LASD because they're "too brown" or because someone decides to submit a tip in retaliation? Will that finally get local cops to stop helping? Just a thought experiment.

One day after the Supreme Court lifted the ban on racial profiling, federal agents swarmed a car in Van Nuys.

Four masked agents with guns drawn yanked people out, slammed them to the ground, and pointed a weapon at a pregnant woman.

There is no justification for this. None.

I'm sick of the humidity in LA right now. Bring back the dry heat!

Photos from last night’s protest in DTLA

Out here at the MDC in Los Angeles where a couple dozen protesters are outside the fence. DHS has already maced half a dozen people and just sent pepperballs at those assembled

1) ABC/NBC should lose license or pay hefty fees because their reporting is mean to him.
2) MD should maybe lose bridge repair funds because Wes Moore was mean to him.
3) The feds should investigate Chris Christie for Bridgegate because he was mean to him.
