they said it couldn't be done, folks, big strong men with tears in their eyes, they came up to me and said "no president could completely wreck an entire united states economy twice", they said "no one's ever put more people out of work than you"

Trump claimed the power to unleash a tariff war by declaring a “national emergency.” This is clearly a false predicate.

The tariff power lies with Congress per the Constitution. Trump’s invocation of an “emergency” in order to punish countries whose leaders don’t grovel is utterly ridiculous.

Khanna: There were two rounds of redactions. There was the original FBI redactions… and they did a second round of redactions at the DOJ. What they’re showing members now is the unredacted version of the DOJ’s redactions—not the original FBI redactions. They’re in blatant violation of the law.

I hope so, too. I'm appalled at how many people just shrug this off like it's normal. Or at least ok.

Oh, hell no. No, we are NOT moving on from this. No matter how much your boss wants us to.

Jesus. Moving on from revelations of pedophilia and trafficking? Moving on from Trump being named tens of thousands of times? Moving on from learning how many of these men LIED about their actions?

No.

This all started with one fake post from a right-wing clickbait account that posted translated lyrics that Bunny never sang during the show. But now they've all convinced themselves that it happened because they don't know Spanish. bsky.app/profile/atru...

I think they are deluding themselves to think that the trump-epstein revelations are going to "go away". I can tell they think so, and are trying desperately to minimize them, but we may have finally (finally!) hit a turning point.

My quick take after reading FBI's Fulton County affidavit: it's a bunch of discredited recycled BS peddled for years by election deniers and it's appalling that a judge signed off on a warrant for the raid based on the "evidence" presented here

The SAVE Act could block 69 MILLION women from voting.

The bill would require people to show a birth certificate or passport to register to vote.

This would threaten the vote of millions of women who changed their last name after marriage.

This is a voter suppression bill.

The latest research shows that less than 2% of immigrants detained in Trump's second term are rapists and murderers, and less than 2% are gang members. Source: www.cbsnews.com/news/ice-arr...

I thought that the US oil producers had already said, "no, thank you" to his plans. They don't want anything to do with it.

The pearl-clutching is...impressive.

What are they saying "was said"? They put forward a guy whose lyrics include "I like 'em underage, see some say that's statutory (but I say that's mandatory)," without any problems.

But I guess that's ok, right?

"story" is the correct word. It's clearly not even remotely true.

But his arrogance that it would never, ever get questioned, that it would never be revealed, is astounding. He really thought he could just lie and no one would ever find out.

They all do. It's disgusting.

They don't even try to do anything the correct, legal way. It's all cheating, every single time. Because they have zero faith in their own policies to actually pass if they do it the right way.

And they keep bleating this about "the left" in a case of absolutely EPIC projection.

“‘This is probably the most extensive fraud that we’ve seen,’ [county clerk] Davidson told a local Fox News outlet. ‘They’re not just fraudulent signatures. [It’s] making up names and addresses. It’s like a non-existent person.’”

Tangerine Palpatine is in the unredacted files over one million times. Anyone who still defends him is deranged.

How can anyone watch this and think that Trump is mentally competent?

Not sure what halftime show he watched, but I got none of that from the joyous, inclusive show that Bad Bunny did.

He has a very, very vivid imagination.

And half the country thought this dolt was a "businessman". He has absolutely no idea what he's talking about.

He's clearly mentally impaired. He has always been stupid, but this is unable-to-recognize-reality levels of blather.

He sounds seriously mentally disabled. Dementia, stroke, inherent stupidity, whatever it is, he is not competent.

They are arguing that FOLLOWING THE CONSTITUTION would prevent them from doing their jobs?

What? I mean, WHAT? WTF?

"Oh, we can't follow the law, that isn't what we want to do" is something that should toss every single one of them in jail.

Yes, enough with the efforts to treat Trump like he’s pursuing legitimate policy objectives rather than feeding his whims and broken ego.

I know the Sgt. Schultz routine seems to work for GOP legislators, but claiming you’re unaware of massively viral videos of ICE misconduct when you’re the director of ICE just makes you sound hopelessly incompetent and out of the loop.

Ignoring the law is more than a hiccup, squeaky.

What book is this?

How can 40% of ANYONE think he's ethical? Are they blind?

I'm hoping you are right. So far, they seem incompetent and stupid, but it's not guaranteed.

Maga can't conceive of it.

That is the operative question. How did she know that she'd face no legal jeopardy from speaking to the personal attorney of Donald Trump, but then perceived legal jeopardy in speaking to Congress? Also, she pleaded the fifth despite telling Blanche she never committed any crime.

Can't the god-botherers just say the hell out of everyone else's lives? Their hypocricy is sickening.
