Captain Obvious

Thomas Paine proposed a progressive tax on wealth, with the top tax rate being 100%. It's an idea that's as American as Apple Pie. www.ms.now/opinion/msnb...

Steve Bannon talked about invoking the 25th Amendment with Jeffrey Epstein.

The conversation happened over New Year’s in 2018/2019 and included talk about how Madeleine Westerhout, the director of Oval Office ops, was “saving the world” by giving Trump oral sex.

This is a stark departure from common practice in journalism. Looks like an attempt to punish AOC for having the temerity to talk overseas. If the NY Times quoted everyone like this – not cleaning up stammers, repeated words and "um" – its quotations would look much different. They'd be a mess.

Have you ever once seen the New York Times quote Trump like this?

Medgar Evers’ killer was a Klansman, but Trump administration says stop calling him a racist - Mississippi Today Among anticipated changes to a new visitor brochure for the Medgar & Myrlie Evers Home National Monument is no longer using "racist" to describe the killer of the civil rights leader.

Ask yourself: why would this administration want to delete references to Medgar Evers’ racist assassin being a racist? Why might that be?

I challenge anyone in this administration or Congress to defend this.

straight out of those Civil War histories where some ill informed white Union soldier got a view of slavery up close and became hyper abolitionist in an instant

The Trump regime is holding press conferences to announce the quiet parts out loud now (often meant for an audience of one).

At least half a dozen top Trump administration officials appear in the Jeffrey Epstein files The degree to which each individual was connected to Epstein varies significantly, from a single email to years of communications.

The President, two of his current Cabinet secretaries, his former strategist, his biggest donor, and his pending Fed Chair nominee are all in the files of a pedophile who ran a sex trafficking ring, while the attorney general and a former Cabinet secretary let him get away with it.

Seems kinda bad?

We do not live in a sane world.

Expect the worst fucking people alive to continue acting like the worst fucking people alive.

Do not expect house or senate Republicans to do ANYTHING to help save our democratic republic. I fully expect them to continue to try and end America as we know it.

@barackobama.bsky.social: "When I was POTUS, I suppose I could have simply unilaterally ordered the military to go into some red state and harass and intimidate a governor or cut off funding for states that didn't vote for me... but that is contrary to how I think our democracy is supposed to work."

The lack of any real investigation by the institutions who usually investigate criminal activity, combined with the growing evidence of a decades long government coverup has everyone scrambling to find smoking guns.

More blood money for people with shit morals

In 1854, after watching the federal government deploy 2000 federal troops and spend $40,000 sending Anthony Burns back into slavery, Boston's Amos Adams Lawrence said “we went to bed one night old-fashioned, conservative, Compromise Union Whigs and waked up stark mad Abolitionists.”

Let me clarify: no serious, sober, well-intentioned person believes anything you say.

No one believes anything you say

Ukraine is ready to offer Russia a ceasefire if they hold elections Zelensky said.

The vast majority of Republican politicians would rather be officeholders in a dictatorship than citizens in a democracy. They have chosen to be traitors.

Stop profiling the worst people you can find.

Ron Johnson is a pro-Russia, US hating domestic terrorist.

The Epstein Emails Show How the Powerful Talk About Race The files reveal the disgraced financier’s interest in “race science.”

A great piece from @alibreland.bsky.social on Epstein's race science obsession—one he shares with much of the contemporary right wing elite www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

Rod Dreher is a fucking lunatic.

Leftist information bubble is so odd

Israeli Soldiers Accused of Using Polymarket to Bet on Strikes The country’s internal security agency indicted a reservist and a civilian for security offenses, bribery and obstruction of justice in connection with the bets.

This is really, really dark.

Trump has been tipping people off here too. It's an easy way to say thank you to big donors or to scrape up some walking around money for yourself

NEGUSE: AG Bondi, that man works for you now, right? The man in that video from J6 yelling 'kill them!' at cops. His name is Jared Wise.

BONDI: He does work for us, yes. I believe he was pardoned

NEGUSE: And you expect hard-working police officers to believe you take law enforcement seriously?

Likely-historic photo by NBC News of all the Epstein victims asked to raise their hands if they've not yet been asked to meet with the DOJ as Bondi testifies in foreground

Please note that she's READING this. She PREPARED this as a rebuttal for questions about Epstein. She planned this, had someone write it down, and read it.
