Let them eat golf course!

Dean Obeidallah@deanobeidallah.bsky.social

UNREAL: Trump laser focused on his top priority this AM: Building an exclusive, world class GOLF course in Wash DC. People can't afford food and gas so Trump's answer is "Let them eat golf course." Trump is America's Marie Antoinette!! www.mediaite.com/media/news/t...

BREAKING: Trump administration cut down more than 500 trees on Saturday at the East Potomac Golf Course after giving less than a full-day notice, with more tree-cutting planned, so plaintiffs challenging the effort went to court seeking a TRO tonight. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

@11thhourmsnow.bsky.social @velshi.com Please repeatedly make these points 1) It's not just trump; repubs have the power to control/stop him and have not. Vote 'em OUT 2) STOP showing his photo 3) No uncorrected lies 3) Most immigrants are not criminal; asylum-seekers/naturalized/green-card holders

@goangelo.bsky.social I so appreciate when you're on the TV machine! I get very anxious when people are turning against trump but don't get the obvious links to every republican who has enable his evil. Thank you for making that point again that ALL of them are responsible for this hell!

The. Most. Infuriating. fact, aside from the misery, is that everything the Trump mafia does is illegal! The vast majority of people being ICE-kidnapped ARE here legally—have LPR, asylum docs, visas, etc. Maybe Trump is immune, but every person executing his evil desires is not. Keep the receipts!

Breaking news: The Trump administration can resume deporting certain migrants to countries where they are not citizens for the time being, while the justices hear arguments and make a final decision on the policy, a divided Supreme Court ruled.

A reminder, as Obama and Mamdani come together for the first time in person, that Mamdani is everything the GOP said Obama was... but wasn't: an African-born socialist Muslim. #justsayin

Tell this to your poor, duped, republican friends & family: You will never be in that 1%, and probably not even the 10% category, especially if you keep voting for republican policies! #NotFakeNews!! #WAKEup!! #BeWoke!!

The top 10% of richest Americans own 87% of stocks. The top 1% alone own roughly half of all stocks. It's worth pointing out once again that the stock market is not the economy.

Trump hosted a dinner last week for White House ballroom donors. Then he went to Mar-a-Lago for a $1 million-per-person dinner benefiting his super PAC. Last night, he treated big GOP donors to dinner on his new White House patio. The government has been shut down for 22 days.

Replying to @democrats-armedservices.house.gov

Cong. Adam Smith answered Qs on Thom Hartmann's @hartmannreport.com. One important point he made: His response re: crime--"Yes, crime IS a problem, but Fascism is not the fix." (paraphrase?) Dems should use this for EVERY concern "Yes *** is a problem, but Fascism is not the fix. Instead, Dems..."

Anyone of age who heard trump’s filth upon & after his 2015 escalator descent, or at ANY time since then, either racistly agreed with him, or were for various reasons too ignorant to understand reality. Their votes or non-votes have destroyed Gaza, the US, and much of the entire world. Period.

Kamala Harris nailed it. We warned everyone the stakes were too high to hand the guy built for Project 2025 another shot — but noooo. Ever have one of those mornings you just want to throw the window open and yell, FUCK YOU ALL? Yeah, that.

Latest WH Press Secretary Leavitt statement does not help Trump: "The fact remains that President Trump kicked Jeffrey Epstein out of his club for being a creep to his female employees.” 1) That now draws connection to knowledge of sexual predation 2) Actual timeline for booting Epstein from club👇

Ryan Goodman@rgoodlaw.bsky.social

1/ Important: "Epstein was actually still on the Mar-a-Lago membership logs up to 2007. ... That of course is a year after Jeffrey Epstein's arrest in Florida." So Trump didn't kick him out for many years after knowing Epstein 'stole' Virginia Giuffre from MAL in 2000. 🧵

They said it was about law, security, or saving money. But behind every excuse is a policy built on cruelty — quietly punishing the vulnerable. From ICE jailing sick kids… To cutting health funds during outbreaks… To slashing food aid as families go hung adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/america-th...

This is what heroes look like: History will record, in the fight against the authoritarian fascism of Trump and the sycophantic enablers of the Republican Party, Supreme Court Justices Sotomayor, Jackson, and Kagan stood tall in their defense of the United States constitution.
