This is on the money and frightening.

Reuters photographer Jonathan Ernst noticed that Bondi flipped open a file during the Senate hearing and he zoomed in.

Inside were her crib notes for attacking the senators.

The GOP now practicing Cliff's Notes Fascism

In other words, under oath Bondi was purely a performance.

"Look, the President clearly has some kind of dementia" should be how Democrats begin every single comment to reporters these days.

There is no budget "deal" to be made President Trump has so broken the constitutional framework as to make joint normal, responsible government impossible.

If appropriations bills are not seen as enforceable contracts, why should any Member of Congress vote to fund any part of the federal government under Donald Trump? You're voting to provide money for lawlessness. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/there-is-n...

He’s propped up a new fiscal order entirely on the basis of conservatives, businesses, media, and even many Dems being scared to actually describe what he’s doing and willing to pretend he’s not doing it. Literally governed by an unmentionable new constitution that everyone is afraid to talk about

Yeah what’s remarkable about Trump’s tariffs is that he’s both implementing them by executive fiat and then spending them by executive fiat, both of which are profoundly, extremely, couldn’t-be-more unconstitutional

Yes, essential. Any post-Trump - let’s call it reconstruction - can be undone with the flick of 6 pens if Ds don’t fix SCOTUS.

Ooooof

Btw I think of this post going into just about every game

Hodge too I think

Strong strong agree on both of these points.

GT feels out on an island on the right side.

She looks great out there.

Exclusive | CBS News taps Adam Rubenstein — once ostracized at NY Times for liking Chick-fil-A — as new deputy editor Sources expect Rubenstein will effectively run the Free Press now that Weiss will be busy steering the editorial direction of shows like “60 Minutes,” “Face The Nation” and …

crazy that one of the most storied institutions in american journalism is going to be run by two people with basically no experience to do it

Margaret Sullivan's latest post on another set of failures from NYT

excerpt from Sullivan's post that shows a NYT commenter dragging the entire normalizing operation for filth

what does it say about @nytimes.com that a *story commenter* dispenses more truth in a few sentences than NYT journalists do in an entire year?

excellent analysis from @sulliview.bsky.social

Republicans haul Susan Collins whenever they need a fake moderate to bamboozle reporters. Most of them fall for it tho shouldn't

Hopefully @democrats.senate.gov won't

She cannot be trusted - and anyone who thinks Vought or Miller will listen to her is delusional

Don't fucking pretend otherwise

Robert Costa screenshot from X: "Robert Costa @costareports Senator Collins says at the Capitol tonight that she’s circulating a bipartisan plan that will commit to moving to address health-care subsidies once the government is reopened… she showed reporters a folder that had a printout of what she said could be a way out of shutdown"

The Senator who enabled the confirmation of Brett Kavanaugh is selling snake oil again. #MEPoltiics

Will some Democrats be stupid enough to buy?

This is universal, I loved it and so did my 21-y.o. daughter

Jake Tapper, who eviscerated Biden for the sin of growing older, has done everything but help install a chair lift in the White House to cover up Trump's deepening dementia and utter feebleness.

The D govs should be screaming at Wash Ds to do this.

The Rule of Law v. The Rule of Trump A crisis moment in the defining debate of our time.

"We are facing a clear and present authoritarian danger.

In these circumstances, can Democrats in Congress continue to take the position that their demand from the Trump administration is simply to restore health care funding?

I don’t think so."

TLDR: Judge Immergut GRANTS a 2nd TRO blocking the Trump admin from sending ANY federalized troops from ANY state into Oregon/Portland. (Full hearing thread below)

😂😭

Look. Invading our own country is about as straightforward a case as you can have for impeachment. The GOP abandoning the Constitution is kind of the only story there is and it gets no coverage.

Video taken one hour ago outside the Portland ICE facility of the violent insurrectionists in question

I’m telling you: ridicule works. These guys are supposed to intimidate the citizenry and it’s very hard to do that when a guy in a frog suit is just staring you down and daring you to do something that makes it look like you’re afraid of a cartoon

Corporate media takes to a fainting couch any time any Democrat - or even any plausibly left-leaning poster on social media - says anything untoward about Republicans' character, but this kind of genocidal language toward Dems has been bog standard on right-wing media for decades now.

“Other polls say the opposite…”

“Which one?”

“Uh … I don’t know. But the poll you cited is clearly biased….”

“How exactly?”

“Uh … which poll was that again?”

This is how it’s done.

It’s very easy, and it gets results, so if an anchor isn’t asking basic follow ups, that’s a choice.

This is an absolutely incredible article and lines up with the current and recent experiences of so many of my friends still in the industry. Brutal.

If we are ever lucky enough to get full-blown hearings and investigations into what has happened these past several months, I am 100% confident that we will find that Stephen Miller has been effectively running the country. bsky.app/profile/hunt...
