Reminder: This is the temperament of a leader of a superpower who is currently in charge of a war in a region of the world that is fraught with religious, cultural, and geopolitical tensions for literally centuries. Good times. #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice

Ossoff is prosecuting the case against Trump as one would prosecute a no-confidence vote in a parliamentary system

Richard Branson explains that Trump is Putin's dog.

This is profoundly shameful! #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice #Ukraine #Starshield 👇

Reuters: Order to limit Starshield for Ukraine came from inside White House, sources say (free mirror of Reuters content below) www.internazionale.it/ultime-notiz...

Zelenskyy tells Piers Morgan Trump has betrayed him and that Musk and the US deliberately cut off Starlink and people are being killed as a result “This is not the right side of history. It is a pity that we are losing a strong partner”

I told you that’s next.

Kinzinger: “That’s the thing about the words that come from the presidential podium. They aren’t like the words the rest of us say. They carry the weight of the office, and the people who hold it have always understood that.” 💯

Another good take by @brianbeutler.bsky.social...it reminds me of the importance of reading and understanding Hofstadter's Anti-intellectualism in American Life, which starts from the decline of McCarthyism... www.offmessage.net/p/republican...

What a joke. We are governed by performative morons. It provides zero confidence that AI in the military will be executed well. Hegseth is too busy yapping his gums and firing people (in order to mask his profound incompetence and insecurity). Good times. 🙁

The projection here is next-level. No words …. ☹️🤡

These ads go in the same category as brazen, easily disproven lies after ICE killings. It’s not about persuasion. It’s a display of power. They could have passed them off as PAC-funded. They added “paid for by the U.S. government” because they want us to know they can break the law with impunity.

When the “censorship industrial complex” myth was just getting started, in Fall 2022, I got a public records request from the AG’s office of Missouri looking for all my emails related to my team’s election rumor research. The Missouri AG at that time? Eric Schmitt. What a tool.

Some good insights below. Even doing this second Jack Smith hearing ~6 weeks before the election seems RISKY and it signals that Trump still calls the shots. The entire GOP has no spine and/or they are too deep into Trump’s Kool-Aid to think straight anymore. Pathetic.

Alex Karp is something to behold. Does he simply relish some form of World War III that is AI-centered and the US wins? I just saw Karp’s usual condescending and angry rant with Eamon Javers of CNBC in front of the White House; before AI leaders’ lunch with POTUS. #palantir

Perfect mojo for this political moment ! 👍 “make ‘em sweat” #resist #GOPCowards #impeach

Your daily reminder that our POTUS is an embarrassing buffoon. 👇

we fought an entire civil war over this and they're pretending it's a natural backlash to some annoying oberlin students

If only the media had as much interest in the world's richest person, the primary funder of the Republican Party, who spoke at Trump's Inauguration and gave a Sieg Heil, once again declaring his belief "white solidarity is the only way to survive" as they do some Twitch streamer.

Once you notice this, it's the most obvious double standard in the political press. Democrats have to answer for the smallest voice even if it has no actual tie to them, but Republicans never have to answer for the insanely racist billionaire donor driving their entire party.

respectfully tapping the "support billionaire-free, worker-owned, independent media" sign again

Here's the dramatic improvement of Republicans' opinion of Vladimir Putin in 2016. As with anti-Canada sentiment now, the unmistakable main cause of the change is Trump. I think of these examples when pundits claim politicians can't change public opinion so they must follow wherever it already is.

One way you know Dolly Parton lived life the right way: I don’t think anyone’s going to get fired for accurately quoting Dolly Parton today.

In no real sense is the academy, especially the elite academy, "radical." Sure, there are radicals here. But it hews close to its longstanding function as a machine of class reproduction. The supposedly radical elite academy churns out finance & tech bros (of all genders), lobbyists, nice doctors.

The capitulation of civil society organizations is perhaps the most important political story of 2025. For every 1000 pundit pieces on what Democrats need to do to win moderate voters, there is 1 piece on the politics of civil society--businesses, unions, congregations, universities, nonprofits, etc

Ontario Premier Doug Ford: "The red states we're gonna hit hard ... you think an insult from him [Trump] hurts me? Bring it on, buddy. You're a loser."

This “median voter” information deficiency IMO is why it’s imperative if a Dem wins POTUS in 2028 that criminal prosecutions of Trump 2.0 be AGGRESSIVE. Dem POTUS must also “prosecute” these miscreants in public speeches in parallel to DOJ. It must be much more than an investigative committee.

“They have the stomach for this fight”: Media Matters’ President & CEO @goangelo.bsky.social explains how Donald Trump and Todd Blanche shattered post-Watergate norms.

More than any other journalistic outlet the Post helped to establish the post Nixon norm of DOJ independence because of their Watergate coverage. Now they endorse what was a fringe view a couple of years ago. Lackeys for money and authoritarianism.

A history PhD student in 25 years will have to write about such Trump dumbf*ckery and make it sound “Dr Evil-like” when it’s probably just this! 👇 #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice

So. This is idiotic, uninformed, and wasteful. It will take the Ford out of service for years and delay the rest of the class. Or, as we say here in the Trump years -- Thursday.

If you want to hold it against me that I am catastrophically delusional and self deceiving in exercising my judgment and power and that I reject any appeal to reality or reason to protect the public from murderous maniacs — well then have it your way.

What an absolute coward. Unbelievable. Please stop going on news shows Senator Cassidy. You are useless. Weak sauce….

Weak sauce …

The core economic pitch for Trump's mass deportations was "fewer immigrants means more jobs for Americans. Unsurprisingly, that's just not happening Instead of rising, prime-age employment rates for native-born Americans fell to the lowest levels in more than four years in data released today

"The Trump admin has made crystal clear that it prizes arrests above all else, even if it means violating constitutional rights, short-circuiting due process and arresting people who are actively following the rules and who’ve often been living and contributing for decades without incident."

Insane that Republicans want to take everyone back to 2020, but if that’s what they want we need to go to the tape.

What the Iranian attack confirms is that Trump is no longer capable of operating in the real world when it dissents from the Trump as God Emperor narrative. He can't process information that dissents from the narrative. Thus he cannot lead or protect us; and we are in danger bsky.app/profile/did:...

The Trump admin’s case against Davey Hearn should have never been brought. Its dismissal today does not erase the abuse of government power in arresting and charging a patriotic American who did nothing wrong. The administration owes Mr. Hearn an apology.

Oh my ….. 😂
