But I was told by everyone on the right that the only person who could deploy the National Guard (or prevent the deployment of the National Guard) was Nancy Pelosi.

The concentration camp is a distraction from the ICE raids in LA, which is a distraction from killing renewable energy, which is a distraction from killing medical research which is a distraction from...

usually if you ask experts why an empire fell they’ll say it’s nuanced and multifaceted, so i think it’s kind of cool that with America future historians will get to just say like “oh they took the idiot train to moronsville”

This is ridiculous.

mRNA vaccines are, without exaggeration, one of the greatest inventions in human history.

We basically hacked our immune systems. “Here’s the secret code for this new virus, prep to fight exactly that.” A promising avenue for addressing some cancers too.

And the US is throwing it away. For what?

Remember when he looked at the solar eclipse from the WH balcony? What a colossal pile of waste.

Trump voters: I lost my health care & job & food is more expensive and my kids have an old timey disease I thought was a made up word from a Dr Seuss book but it’s better now than it was & at least we’re not letting immigrants & the woke police run this country into the ground anymore. Trump ‘28!

Trump & the GOP suck but paying Congress less will make the problem worse. Lower pay makes it so only wealthy people can run. I assure you most work around the clock & during “recess” they are doing mtgs & events in district, not taking the entire time off.

I mean, he started out his first term by ordering everyone to lie about the size of the crowd at his inauguration, even though we all could see the truth with our own damn eyes. Of course we ended up here.

Trump’s Efforts to Control Information Echo an Authoritarian Playbook

It’s so infrequent that the New York Times uses “Trump” and “Authoritarian” in the same headline that it’s worth noting when they do. Now they need to say clearly and loudly that he’s in the process of building a dictatorship. Because he is.

Larry Summers: "This is way beyond anything Nixon ever did ... this is the stuff of democracies giving way to authoritarianism. Firing statisticians goes with threatening the heads of newspapers, launching assaults on universities, launching assaults on law firms. This is really scary stuff."

I get that Dems need to nominate an "outsider" in 2028 because everyone hates elites & no one trust institutions, but ... this cycle of electing "outsiders" who then can't get anything done, and fuel more cynicism, which leads to more "outsiders" ... is not good for progressives.

Today the White House started by demanding a Nobel Peace Prize and ended by scrubbing unflattering history from the Smithsonian. If this were a Democratic White House, the press would be calling for removal from office.

If you put "Impeach Now" and your name on some bumper stickers and paid a filing fee, I bet you could take 40-60% of the vote in almost any primary election in the country even if you did nothing else.
You could be in Congress in just months!

Don’t give them any votes and let them own the fallout if the Gov shuts down.

Mamdani: We are reminded no matter how strong our gun laws are in this state, we are only as safe as the weakest laws in this nation.

I wouldn’t think the owner of a resort would remember a spa employee from decades ago unless….oh

Amen. Honesty those on their way out have even less reason (not that any exists at all) to block everything the GOP does to protect this country. They’re not getting any points for this from ANYONE.

We could only be so lucky.

Thank you for describing this accurately! Trump is illegally withholding $ approved by Congress & signed by Trump himself in March. It’s not a concession to get a verbal agreement to release illegally impounded funds in exchange for confirming another monster to engage in more crimes. JFC

It’s a machine that’s programmed to sign someone’s signature with a real pen. I don’t understand how this is a story at all. I worked in the US Senate and for a Governor. Every higher level official has one of these and staff use it daily.

The president of the United States is threatening to strip the citizenship away from an American who says things he does not like.

And our media will invariably present this not as a major crisis, an impeachable offense that must lead to his immediate removal, but as “a spat” between Don & Rosie

Ok so even the AP can’t be trusted anymore as a neutral news organization reporting the facts - got it.

overall, my view is that independent media should be covering the entire political moment in the united states as one of unprecedented crisis, lawlessness, corruption and repression. covering each bit as separate from the other bits itself misleads the public as to what's going on.

I don’t care what side of the aisle you’re on, the President of the United States even joking about revoking someone’s citizenship should be met with universal condemnation.

How does something like this even occur to these monsters?

This is so frustrating. How many billions of congressionally approved funds to states does the Trump Administration get to withhold before this is the biggest story every day & congress does something? It’s the same underlying legal question every time yet it’s treated like a one off each time.
