We tried mass tariffs in 1828, and it crashed the economy. We tried again in 1930, and it crashed the economy.

Third time’s the charm, I guess.

Trump’s Most Dangerous Power Grab From Marc | It was only a matter of time before Trump's executive order targeting free and fair elections was challenged in court.

No executive order has the potential to do more permanent damage to our constitutional system than the one Trump signed last week targeting free and fair elections. It is both an unconstitutional power grab and a clear violation of federal law. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/trum...

"My message to the rest of the Democratic Party is if you are not willing to meet that bar, then step aside for somebody who will. Because we're at a moment right now where we do need people who are willing to fight, willing to show some spine, willing to break through in this media environment."

Again.

Donald Trump has disgraced the United States of America in countless ways since he first entered political life ten years ago.

But he had never disgraced the nation as badly as he did today.

He has brought shame on this country to an extent I had never thought possible. And he has only just begun.

Wow. Just wow. To read these words from David Maraniss. This is how bad things have gotten.

Pardoning violent thugs who attacked the US Capitol and assaulted cops to subvert an American election is quite fascistic.

No rule of law. No law and order. All that matters is following the Dear Leader, who incited violence with lies. This is a violation of his oath to protect the Constitution.

It’s almost like Trump is some sort of grandiose narcissist or something

Most corrupt judge ever. She is a disgrace to the judiciary!

Judge Cannon is the most corrupt judge and in Trump’s pocket. She is a disgrace to the judiciary!

🤬

When will the dems learn?

I am sorry too. Have democrats not learned their lesson?

She’s an idiot

Wow! That is crazy!

Kash Patel is as dangerous a pick for the FBI as Matt Gaetz was at DOJ.

Trump is seizing control of the investigative and prosecutorial powers of the state by staffing them with the most conspiratorial and blindly loyal nominees : Gaetz/Bondi, Patel, Gabbard.

Political retribution is his priority. The rest of governing he doesn’t care about.

This guy should be on their Most Wanted list. Not the one deciding it.

An important reminder: Jonathan Turley is just Mike Lindell with tenure.

Religion in schools? Sure thing!

this sounds like the primordial soup of a toxic planet with evolving sulfuric-acid-based life forms

NEW VIDEO: Matt Gaetz withdrew his name from consideration to be the U.S. attorney general. @marcelias.bsky.social discusses Gaetz's nomination and what it said about the direction of Trump's second presidency.

With the flood of new people here, I have updated and expanded my starter pack! I hope it helps you find the best of Bluesky. go.bsky.app/JSLScTv

Is Trump trying to kill us? Authoritarian expert says yes. Here’s how It sounds hyperbolic, but it's not

“There are five areas that authoritarians want to control when they attempt to decapitate a democratic state, authoritarian expert Timothy Snyder writes: health, law, administration, defense & intelligence... each of these arenas, the goal is to create chaos — and yes, even death.”

If the House Ethics report exonerated Matt Gaetz, it would be running 24/7 on Fox.

Just to be clear: the incoming Trump administration is going to war against their own Republican senate majority and the constitution's advice and consent provision so they can make a man investigated for ***sex trafficking a minor*** into the most powerful law enforcement officer in the country.
