It's bad, but we screwed it up for the whole world.

JD Vance offers some cold comfort: "As much as we've gotta focus on gas prices down, the reality is overseas they're feeling it far worse than we do"

Rep. Neguse: “The man in that video, the one…allegedly yelling 'kill em' at police officers on Jan. 6. His name is Jared Wise." Bondi: "He does work for us." Neguse: "This is who you choose…to hire at DOJ?" Bondi: "I believe he was pardoned by President Trump."

Walz: "To Americans who are watching this, I've got a question for you: What side do you want to be on? The side of an all powerful federal govt that can kill, injury, menace, & kidnap its citizens off the streets? Or on the side of a nurse at the VA hospital who died bearing witness to such govt?"

Klobuchar: "Somehow 50,000 peaceful protesters in 10 below weather were able to march without any problems, and then the next day half a dozen ICE and CBP agents couldn't handle a guy with a cell phone taking video of them and shot him. I think it's pretty obvious what's going on here."

Brooke Rollins: "We've run over 1,000 simulations. It can cost around $3 a meal for a piece of chicken, a piece of broccoli, corn tortilla, and one other thing. So there is a way to do this that actually will save the average American consumer money."

Disrespect is now punishable by death.

Q: "Do you believe that deadly force was necessary?" Trump: "It was highly disrespectful of law enforcement. The woman and her friend were highly disrespectful of law enforcement…Law enforcement should not be in a position where they have to put up with this stuff."

"Don't make me hit you."

Homan: "We gotta stop the hateful rhetoric. Saying this officer is a murderer is dangerous. It's just ridiculous. It's gonna infuriate people more which means there's gonna be more incidents like this."

AOC: ICE has less accountability than virtually any law enforcement agency in the U.S., yet they are some of the most well-funded, operating with impunity—and we just saw them murder an American citizen in cold blood in the street.

Billy reposted

The same people who yesterday were dismissive of when the Capitol police got the shit kicked out of them by a bloodthirsty mob are today claiming a bunch of unharmed ICE goons were in mortal danger from one woman.

Billy reposted

AOC: What we saw today was a criminal murder a woman while she was trying to flee for her life. What we saw today was a manifestation of every American’s worst nightmare: their government turning into a tyranny.

truly shocked that some people thought there was ever a chance of making this place non-toxic. did you not hang out on Twitter prior to Musk? this kind of platform is fundamentally poisoned, as is all social media and nearly every kind of online community

You know who they're not going to feel heat from.

Schumer: "Republicans must -- if there was ever a time, they must step up to the plate. This is the time. And if they don't, they're gonna feel the heat from their constituents."

The #1 movie when you were 10 years old is how your 2026 is going to go. Oh, God. I thought they already had.

The #1 movie when you were 10 years old is how your 2026 is going to go. I guess that in 2026, I'll give and give, until I have nothing left to give.

„Quiet, Piggy!“ Just think about that for a minute, and what it means to live in a time when a President can assault a woman in public like that without any consequences. It‘s quite a testimony to the age of regression we live in.

Epstein survivor: "Today we stand in a moment that will decide whether our government still belongs to the American people or to those who prey on them."

Billy reposted

I mean, look, I'm not a reporter, so who am I to talk? But on a day where the president both just called a woman reporter "Piggy" and is celebrating someone who had people bone saw apart one of my colleagues, I might just be a little ready to defend my colleagues and profession. But that's just me

Comer: we're not releasing the Epstein files to protect Bill Clinton.

Acyn@acyn.bsky.social

Comer: The evidence we gathered does not implicate President Trump in any way. Public reporting, survivor testimony, and official documents show that Bill Clinton had far closer ties to Epstein

Billy reposted

If you look closely, you can see signs of GOP lawmakers fearing the long-term political consequences of paying more attention to Trump's demands than to the voices of their own constituents - or consciences.

"Maybe the Qataris will give me a jet, too."

Hegseth: "I'm also proud that today we're signing a letter of acceptance to build a Qatari Emeri air force facility at the Mountain Home Airbase in Idaho."

Billy reposted

One thing that comes through awfully clearly in these ICE videos is how many of these goons gravitated toward the job because being able to assault people with impunity is a big thrill for them.

A centrally controlled economy subsidizing workers. There's a word for it.

Trump: "We’ve made so much money on Tariffs, that we are going to take a small portion of that money, and help our Farmers."

What are the names of the U.S. Navy officers carrying out these orders to serially bomb civilian boats that pose no threat to their own vessels, killing everyone aboard? Surely they’ll want to take personal credit for this honorable service and perhaps wear a little campaign medal on their chest.

Watergate was shoplifting a pack of gum compared to this.

Trump just told Pam Bondi that "JUSTICE MUST BE SERVED, NOW!!!" with prosecutions of political enemies — James Comey, Sen. Adam Schiff and NY AG Letitia James. A U.S. attorney just resigned after being pressured to bring charges against James despite a lack of evidence.

1. If passengers book a flight from the EU and it is canceled or significantly delayed, they are entitled to cash compensation — $300 to $700. In the US, flyers were supposed to get similar rights soon. But those plans have been scrapped by the Trump administration. Here's how it happened. 🧵
