Independence Lake north of Truckee, #California was on private timber company land, which put it up for sale. Larry Ellison wanted to buy it as a private lake for his billionarity, but the company instead sold it to the Tahoe Donner Land Trust. Now it has trails and free kayak use for the public!

I realize Republicans don’t want to admit this, which is why they are so crazed about passing the SAVE Act, but the reason why Dems have dramatically over-performed their 2024 results in 99% of races around the country since then isn’t because “illegals” have been voting.

@durbin.senate.gov Senator Durbin, DO NOT CAVE! A promise from the Republicans to vote later on healthcare subsidies is worth NOTHING. Do you ever wonder why Democrats lose? This is why! Have a spine, for once!

Noted puppy executioner Kristi Noem, the current head of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, is a walking, babbling example of why putting ignorant and unqualified people in charge of the government might not have been America’s best idea. Habeas whatus? www.usatoday.com/story/opinio...

This is terrible news for golden retrievers named Barley who like to look out the hatchback as their owners shop at Whole Foods.

Republicans keep clinging to Joe Biden's health to ignore Donald Trump's decline. "Let me remind everyone that Joe Biden is out of politics, while Donald Trump – the guy babbling incoherently about Bruce Springsteen, Oprah and Bono – has the nuclear codes." www.usatoday.com/story/opinio...

Nice to see at least a little pushback from Republicans on Trump blaming Zelensky for being invaded. Wish there were more. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

This country has seen some bad moments in the 61 years, 5 months, 16 days I’ve been on this Earth. But it has never, ever before come close to the supertoxic level of stupidity, mendacity, narcissism, nihilism, and moral apathy that threaten to destroy it today.

Bove and Bondi on weakest possible ground for a high-profile, high-stakes battle. It's basically conceded that Adams dismissal unrelated to law and facts and is just brute political order to effectuate Trump's views. They're going to be forced into terrible admissions. NOT GOING AWAY

This is Saturday night massacre in free fall. A day that will live in infamy in DOJ. 22 people in room. it's savage. hard to imagine greater disrespect for DOJ professionals.

new resignation from SDNY Hagan Scotten -- he's a John Roberts clerk -- Roberts can't be happy at that -- and a 2 times bronze medal winner for duty in Iraq. This is the best of DOJ v the worst of the political system. The lines so clearly drawn

Imagine hearing these details – lawyers are locked in room and threatened with being fired until they agreed to dismiss —in Putin or Stalin‘s Russia. Utter brutality, putting a rule of law on a meat grinder.

This is the best reason for no one in the world to go to the USA, trump pardoned and armed his jan6 tourists , and now disease is free to multiply.

1/🚨Trump just signed an executive order creating the Make America Healthy Again Commission, chaired by RFK Jr.—a known anti-vaccine activist. This is a Trojan horse for anti-science policies, deregulation, & health misinformation. 🧵 #Voices4Victory #DemVoice1 #USDemocracy #ProudBlue

His performance of The Nutcase will be absolutely exquisite I am sure

another trump trauma ability is to charge others of crimes that he himself actually commits...mirror charges effect

Chris Murphy: "I think this is the most serious constitutional crisis the country has faced, certainly since Watergate. The president is attempting to seize control of power, and for corrupt purposes ... he's trying to crush his opposition ... this is a red alert moment ... our democracy is at risk"

The dipshit twins shut down the consumer financial protection bureau, which protected Americans from being scammed. So expect even more scamming from them! THEY ARE SCAMMERS!

Some don't want posts like this on @bsky.app. I want more. Why ? This is a moderated platform. Which means unbridled hate is removed. And blocked. Making this is a platform where we can engage and have real discussions on real issues. @bsky.app w 100m users changes political discourse.

They want to erase the accomplishments of women and nonwhites to fit their narrative that only white men are competent and capable. The goal is to bring back a caste system that dictates who can hold which jobs based solely on skin color and gender.

Trump insisted Obama was born in Africa and now has a guy who’s literally from Africa running everything. It’s almost as if it was just racism. It’s always just racism.

This is an epic burn 🔥🇨🇦 #OhCanada🎶

This is a reminder that no one can convince Trump voters to no longer support Trump, better than Trump can.

I’m going to put my rich guy hat on and say I hope that Mexico and Canada issue equal, retaliatory tariffs and stick to them for an extended period. I apologize to all the people it will cost money and the businesses it will hurt. But it’s the only way for tariffs to be seen for what they are

Agree 💯

👏👏👏👏

Tonight’s public service announcement…

not gonna lie—were I potus I would def threaten Canada with ginormous tariffs if it would make them take Ted Cruz back

For the visual learners...

When I was a Hill staffer in 2009, a Dem trifecta was trying to pass universal healthcare. In response, Senate GOP released a memo detailing all of the tactics they in the minority could use to delay the effort as much as possible. I'm recirculating that 2009 GOP memo here. Take inspiration from it.

this is some Orwellian shit
