Speaking of today's Slush Fund ruling, is it even possible, in our advanced society, that we will ever come to a Joe Welch Decency Moment? "You've done enough. Have you no sense of decency, sir, at long last? Have you left no sense of decency?"

@bagleycartoons.bsky.social

I don't think there's much more to be said about Trump, other than he was plenty sick to begin with, and now has FTD, the most unrestrained form of dementia. The one remaining question: will he kill thousands - or more - before it's over.

Yes indeed and you'll be in the history books.

Poverty is a policy choice. Concentrated wealth is a policy choice. Inequality is a policy choice. None of it is natural or inevitable. Remember: We have the power to build a system that serves the many, not the powerful few.

A story about KY GOP Senate nominee Andy Barr: In 2019 he got mad at AOC and demanded she come to his district to visit a coal mine. She said yes, which he didn't expect, so he withdrew the invitation. Then it turned out there were no working coal mines in his district. Because he's an idiot. 1/3

Notice how a book can make you gay, a vaccine can make you autistic, a mask can make you sicker, and a poster of the Ten Commandments can make you moral, but guns don’t kill people.

@shawnmcnulty.bsky.social I have an artist friend who lives in St Paul - Nick Wanserski. He occasionally does work for The Onion. If that rings a bell, please let me know. Thanks!

@trublupolitics.bsky.social Hi Karen. How you're repeatedly dismissed by Stephanie, always midstream, is one of my pet peeves. It just ain't polite. Maybe you've made your peace with it, but I'm still struggling. Today, even without a "hard break", you were cut off. Grrrr.

Pete Hegseth's murderous buffoonery, coming amid a lifetime in which he's betrayed everyone close to him and failed up from one disaster to the next, is a perfect example of how the appeal of Trumpism is that it creates a permission structure for people to openly be their worst selves

Copied from a post from The Shallow State, 1/11/26 "Everything he says is in pursuit of grandiosity, wealth, or a distraction to cover up crimes."

Trump is the U.S. inside out. All of the hidden ugliness and secrets inverted to a proud boast. He's our deepest shame, with overt pride. Our ugliness, paraded and applauded. He's the Hyde of the American psyche - exposed and normalized. He's deeply American. And America is deeply Trumpian. 🧵

My main takeaway from the Jack Smith testimony: we should push our presidential candidate to make him Attorney General in 2029.

Pardon me if I don’t think a president who is so ignorant about American history that he didn’t know what happened at Pearl Harbor (according to his Chief of Staff after their visit there) has a nuanced understanding of the Founding Fathers’ views on tariffs.

One thing we've learned from the American judicial system: The first 34 felonies are on the house*. *Terms and conditions may apply. See prosecutors for details if you're not white. Or rich.

Pure Americana.

@radioguychris.bsky.social She's not really built for fair and respectful debate. She could have insisted that you take the opportunity to express yourself. You were wise to just let it go.

(🚨) The first-ever pop song about Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein is now on all major streaming platforms. Be warned: It is explicit, it goes extremely hard, and it is a banger. You can listen to it for free below. Let's make this go viral.

Can you hit repost? Marjorie Taylor Greene doesn't want you to know the name of her opponent but will try every desperate attempt to save her seat. My name is Shawn Harris. I am a Democrat, husband, father, Retired Brigadier General, farmer, and I'm running against MTG. Can you share and follow me?

@johnfugelsang.bsky.social Hi John. Big fan, and envious of your talent. So don't hate me. Martin Niemöller authored 'First They Came', and not Dietrich Bonhoeffer. Both were pastors forced to deal with the Nazis, so an understandable mix-up. I enjoy your show, plus your appearances on TSMS. ✌️

Another strong woman speaks the TRUTH…

We know in an abstract way that people are now dying because of the collapse of US aid. But to see someone menaced, live in the Oval Office, by a pair of sick dogs is almost as upsetting. And all for "great television".

Whenever you welcome guests, treat them with kindness, grace and respect. Simple as that.

The press falsely reports that there was a "heated exchange" between Trump/Vance and Zelensky. Not at all. This was a one-sided verbal pummeling. Vance and Trump don't know what all leaders should know - how to be civilized.

Hey Bluesky! I’m here. Yes, I’m still a bit stunned by my prescient tweet (below) 14hrs before the tragic DC crash, after which many of you encouraged me to finally gravitate to here. Happy to belatedly join the community. Tom

If it were legal to fire you, they wouldn't put so much effort into getting you to resign voluntarily.

We could have had a competent president, lower drug prices, home buyer assistance, a Cabinet filled with qualified adults and not sociopaths, global respect, and national sovereignty...

@aagwylie.bsky.social Oh. And as you fill out your list of good people to follow, the experience becomes a lot richer. (But for me that took a surprising amount of time. I kept hearing from the same 2 or 3 people for about a month.) 🫤

@aagwylie.bsky.social Hi Alice! 🙂 This place looks and feels like Twitter to me, except without the trolls. (Or at least a lot fewer.) 👍

@maryltrump.bsky.social Loved your latest Substack letter on Biden's speech. There's a shortage of Progressives out there who can be rightly critical of the nice old man who doesn't seem to grasp the moment. I've always been amazed that the Trump family has your level of talent buried within it.

To paraphrase Musk, Maga is about to "F Itself in the Face" by going after undocumented immigrants. The undocumented differ from Trump in 3 ways: 1) They pay taxes 2) They help the economy 3) Foreign-born individuals commit fewer crimes than native-born folks like Trump, who's a criminal 1/

John Roberts is very upset that the public has lost confidence in John Roberts and the institution John Roberts leads following a series of confidence-cratering actions by John Roberts and his colleagues, and therefore would like everyone to know that this is not John Roberts' fault, it's yours.
