Former Fetterman staffers have entered the chat. 🍿

This is what people voted for. Then they complain endlessly . . . and vote for it again. Geez people, look at what is actually happening, not what you're being told, and recalibrate.

Good news: he lost.

"It’s no surprise that top Republican officials have declined to denounce Max Miller. They don’t believe compelling evidence of misogyny or sexual violence is inherently disqualifying."

“We could do tremendous good for ourselves by just not trading with countries” — Trump’s bonkers view of trade is that you become wealthy by not engaging in commerce

This is how evil thinks:

Content warning: Multiple men violently assault a female protester at Reform's conference at the Birmingham NEC, to the visible delight of Nigel Farage.

This is 1,000% false Trump DOES NOT have the right to do this The Constitution specifically gives each state the power to control its own elections. If there is any regulation of their processes, it must come from Congress-NOT the President BUT make sure to check your registration-just to be safe

It's not just that this is, of course, an insane lie—it's that *just thinking about it for ten seconds*, without looking anything up, should make it screamingly obvious that the claim couldn't possibly be remotely close to true. You have to actively shut your brain off to say stuff like this.

Good point from @nicholasgrossman.bsky.social here: Trump's usual corrupt machinations can't rescue him from failure in Iran. "Interstate war is the highest level of competition — there’s no system to manipulate, no entity that can bail him out. That leaves surrender." All that leaves is lying.

Trump restarted bombing, and what did he get for it? -Hormuz closed, more economic damage -Lost Oman, which was working with the US before -A vote of no confidence from Saudis -Worsened munitions shortage -More US casualties -No concessions from Iran -Now poised to surrender My latest, in @ms.now

Trump on 2028: "If I don't run ... "

VARNEY: We've had 3 months now of real weakness in the job market. Is the economy moving into a new phrase where we're losing jobs? HASSETT: No. One of the things we have to remember is that because we've been deporting folks, that put downward pressure on what the breakeven job number is.

DOJ’s claim that they lacked evidence of innocence before charging Davey Hearn does not carry water Our filings showed proof—using the gov’s own evidence—that the Reflecting Pool was the same before & after he touched it We discussed on @CNN.com 👇

OTD in 2008 Georgia decided to invade itself before voluntarily moving its border away from Russia which remains peaceful country surrounded by ceasefires & special military operations proving western appeasement works.

If you ever feel unqualified, remember that a gang of billionaires spent $900 million for 60,000 acres with no water, no infrastructure, a roster of endangered species, and a voter-approved ordinance that specifically bans building a city there. Now they’re begging politicians to bail them out.

Secret Service agents are trained to take bullets for a president but not this shit

They want to do this everywhere right before the election, so folks don't have time to fix it.

Katie Phang on Trump’s tax immunity deal: Why not agree to narrow language limiting immunity to conduct before the settlement? Because Trump wants to keep criming. And his refusal to relent tells me there’s smoke, fire, kerosene, wildfires. There’s something there Trump doesn’t want exposure for.

The best part is the map showed the Ivory Coast was landlocked and they didn't bat an eye.

Emmett Till would have been 85 today (b. 7/25/1941). The 14-year-old Chicagoan was brutally murdered by white men while visiting relatives in Miss. in 1955. His murder & the acquittal of the killers made Till an icon of the civil rights movement. Image: Public domain photo taken by Till’s mother.

INTIMIDATION FAILED The FBI showed up at reporters’ homes. During dinner. Demanding they reveal confidential sources. Not because the story was false. Because it embarrassed Trump. Now the DOJ is backing down and withdrawing the subpoenas after getting hammered in court.

BUT HUNTER BIDEN SOLD PAINTINGS

It’s worth noting that Taco Bell identified the source before the FDA did, and promptly pulled it from their stores. The FDA didn’t even name the source until Taylor Farms outed themselves, and hasn’t issued a recall. Basically, Taco Bell is now a more reliable authority than the FDA.

The revelations came out in a federal court case brought by Democratic states challenging ICE's access to Medicaid data to aid in deportation efforts. n.pr/4f9OdMn

The BBC has issued 47 subpoenas to the elder Trump's inner circle, including Trump Jr., Ivanka Trump, Jared Kushner and Stephen Miller. But the Secret Service has blocked the BBC from serving Donald Trump Jr. with a subpoena seeking his Jan. 6 communications, according to a court filing Friday.

Mike Lindell, recovering crack cocaine addict and presumptive GOP nominee to be governor of Minnesota, turns out to be a citizen and resident of Texas, who registered to vote, and actually voted, there. Which means he has committed voter fraud. www.startribune.com/mike-lindell...

ICE continues making arrests at NYC immigration court despite a May ruling from a federal judge that broadly blocked such detentions www.courthousenews.com/ice-makes-ar...

Hey so if China supposedly interfered in our election to hurt Trump… why hasn’t Trump sanctioned China over it?

"As scholar Mae Ngai put it: 'This was a racist law, was openly racist at the time, and the Court upheld its racism under the rubric of national security.' The White House would prefer to ignore this inconvenient history." Ignore, and repeat.

My takeaway from that speech is that we are headed down the road of Trump trying to outright rig elections. It probably won't work, but he's going for it.

NY Tmes exec editor Joe Kahn said in 2024 that the issue of democracy's survival was not a top priority in his newsroom's coverage. Now Trump is sending federal agents to NYT reporters' homes to deliver subpoenas over coverage he doesn't like. I wonder if democracy is a priority for Joe now.

This "tweet" from a year ago has been deleted by its author. I'm posting here now on BlueSky as a reminder and as a public service, for anyone, should they ever need it. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

"Coalitions that are expanding their power will, by definition, include people who have changed their mind. Granting people the space to shift their political behavior without shame is all the more important under authoritarianism." ICYMI @fieldsmeyer.com:

NYT confirms: Trump personally asked FIFA to review a U.S. player's suspension. Now he's eligible to play. The reversal of Folarin Balogun's World Cup suspension is highly unusual. It was the first time since 1962 that FIFA has nullified a suspension for a red card received during the World Cup.

It's amazing how good an investor you can be when you singlehandedly control the financial fate of hundreds of publicly traded companies. www.wsj.com/finance/stoc...

WHAT THE HELL

In the first six months of 2025, top Trump officials used at least 13 Signal chats with names like "Iran/Ukraine Planning" and "State USAID." Dan Caine was the admin of a Signal group with Pete Hegseth and Marco Rubio that was set to automatically delete messages after 8 hours.

POCAN: Do you know how much we've spent on the war on Iran so far? VOUGHT: We've spent about 30,000,000,000 P: People are saying it's more like $100b V: I'm just telling you what I heard from the Dept of War P: I'm just going to remember June 30, 2026, you're saying $30b is what we spent

To be crystal clear here -- the nun was **wearing her habit** and walking to Sunday mass when ICE arrested her and hauled her off: apnews.com/article/nun-...

After federal agents shot Alex Pretti in Minneapolis, a New Yorker sent ICE's director an email in January comparing him to a Nazi. This week, DHS agents stalked him across New York. His home. A hotel. They gave his wife a letter warning of criminal prosecution. www.syracuse.com/news/2026/06...

Abolish ICE.

Sen. Chris Murphy: "Right now the biggest threat to this country are not a handful of House candidates in New York, it is the president of the United States who is trying to destroy American democracy."

I hereby declare that Rudy Giuliani be stripped of the title "America's Mayor" for multiple reasons and nominate Zohan Mamdani
