This kind of lawlessness and coercion by Trump seems like a good way to push states to secede. I know that’s drastic, but logically speaking, why should a state that’s bigger and wealthier than most countries, send tax revenue to a federal government that only makes their problems worse?

Well fuck. There really is no check on Trump at all. His stacked SCOTUS says he’s immune, his stacked Appeals Court says he doesn’t have to obey court orders, his crooked lawyer in DOJ tells the agency to ignore the courts and the GOP Congress gives him a judgeship anyway…

Remember β€œdrain the swamp”, when MAGA was supposedly against corruption? Just today, Trump: paused a Medicare reg after a payoff from a health insurance exec, fired an FBI agent that investigated J6, and ordered that banks can’t reject customers just because they’re traitors.

Trump is cutting over $200mil from the National Park Service budget, while also making plans to build a $200mil golden ballroom next to the White House. He is taking away protection and services for property and resources shared by ALL OF US, to build more luxury that none of us will ever enjoy.

🧡 Dear Republican lawmakers,

Canada has the largest intact boreal forest on the planet.

An increasingly hotter world due to #ClimateChange makes longer dry seasons, far larger wildfires & yes, more smoke. No amount of "raking" fixes it. The scientists warned of exactly this for a very long time /1

Dean Cain, Who Played Superman, Says He Is Joining ICE

Faster than due process.
More powerful than human decency.
Able to leap over constitutional rights in a single bound.

It’s a police officer!
It’s a federal agent!
It’s ICE - I think, but they cover their faces and wear plain clothes, so who the hell knows…

Pritzker: Neither Texas nor the FBI at the federal level has the authority to arrest these Texas Democrats

They’re welcome to visit to take in the great views and enjoy the incredible restaurants we have. But they won’t be taking anyone home with them, or out of the state.

For what crime? What could they arrest Democratic Reps for? Are citizens not allowed to travel within our own country anymore? Maybe Texas can decide to eject no-shows from their Congress or something, but how is it committing a crime to not go to work?

The Trump regime's Vice President JD Vance is hosting a private strategy dinner at the vice presidential residence in Washington, D.C. It is a high-level meeting to coordinate messaging and strategy on how to cover up the Jeffrey Epstein case and handle the ongoing fallout. #3E #OpDeathEaters

No one in this country is in a better position to resist the fascist takeover than @harvard.edu. When the most privileged, wealthy, and powerful roll over, what does that leave for the rest of us? C’mon Harvard, stand up, because you can and most others can’t.

I’ve decided the best format for #archery practice is to shoot my longbow to practice fundamentals, then switch to compound when I’m tired of missing and need a confidence boost before I quit for the day!

If this were a fair comparison it would compare solar and wind energy production per acre to the total acreage of coal plants AND mines combined, or nuclear plants AND mines AND the facilities that process the fuel.

Republicans thought they were getting people who would expose the Deep State pedophiles with Trump, Bongino and Patel. Instead, they got their protectors. Maxwell just got rewarded with a nicer prison, and in exchange, the pedophiles stay concealed. Hell of a legacy, fellas.
