A billionaire dictator who'll lose everything if the opposition replaces him on Jan. 20, 2029 is stockpiling killer drones and high-powered rifles on towering monuments and ballroom roofs
I'm sure it's nothing to worry about
Trump's panicking about the widespread revulsion against his Arch, and is trying to cloak it in national security to jam it through or go around the normal approval process.
It's even more important to stop it now, as a test case of not letting him use "national security" to justify illegal acts.
If you still are a Republican after all this, if you still didn't quit this Nazi-wannabe party - you're complicit in what they do. No matter who you personally vote for.
Media should ask every Republican official about Trump's story how he was rescued by firemen from the rubble, and dare them to say he was joking about 9/11.
Searches for Adam Hoffman are skyrocketing as reports go viral of Ken Paxton’s office offering the admitted child molester a one-day jail sentence after serially abusing a young boy.
Also fuck Mike Johnson for saying politicians can't survive off $175k salaries but they expect citizens to live off $40k or $7.25 an hour. Fuck all the way off
There are many reasons why our country is in such bad shape but we can’t forget the demolition of true news. The president threatening to “end a civilization” isn’t even the top story on NH ABC affiliate website. Have to scroll down to the picture to see anything about trump.
When/if Trump backs off his evil threat, the danger is not passed. Even saying these things is truly evil and we need to harness the growing call for impeachment and removal and actually do it. You can only get to the brink so many times before disaster strikes. #impeach now #remove now
It is certainly more likely that he’s running up the heat to make our retreat seem like a gift to the world. Don’t let this asshole control your every emotion when this is probably what will happen. You’re only making them happy by crashing out.
Completely unstable and perilous. The House must bring up impeachment articles, and the Senate needs to remove a president who wants to commit war crimes. We cannot sit idly by as Donald Trump threatens to end an entire civilization.
This is an actual post. This is not funny. This is beyond desperate. This is a deeply unwell man who doesn’t belong anywhere near the levers of power. Every member of his cabinet and Congress is complicit in not demanding his removal now.
Yesterday I filmed several baby birds walking across a street directly at my camera and asked Bluesky to suggest music
Several dozen folks did
Some even dubbed music over the original clip.
I haven't been able to get this out of my head.
So I give you

GOP Senator admits Trump is the reason for TSA shutdown, long airport lines:
"The Democrats have offered to open up everything but ICE. ... Thune submitted that to President Trump. The President said, 'No deals with the Democrats.' We could have had TSA paid by the end of the week."
As President Trump rejects a deal to fund TSA and fix airport lines, Republican lawmakers should simply pass a bill and force him to veto it. bit.ly/4t5rDbT
@jonathankarl.bsky.social Hi Mr. Karl. Just watched your interview with Duffy. Curious why you asked plenty of ?s allowing him to blame democrats but didn’t ask him why their several attempts to fund the TSA now and continue to negotiate on the rest was not brough up? Keep up the great work!
There wasn’t a single Democratic elected official who celebrated Charlie Kirk’s death. Not one. Donald Trump is openly celebrating Robert Mueller’s death and no Republicans are condemning him. Both sides are not the same.
Confiscate 99.8% of Andreesen’s net worth for the public good, wait 20 minutes, and then tell him his memory of ever having more than $4 million is false.
If it costs 300 million Americans more to go about their daily lives, but 250 thousand already-rich oil executives and investors get to experience another boom—this is good for the economy.
Energy Secretary Chris Wright: "Fortunately, the US produces more oil than we can consume -- we're a net oil exporter. So overall for the US economy, this isn't bad news."
Two things here.
One, you don't sit there and whine about media coverage and headlines if things are going well.
Two, the administration is just outright saying that they fully expect Ellison to use CNN to be a Trumpist propaganda organ.
Hegseth: "Some in the press can't stop. Allow me to make suggestions. People look at the TV and they see banners, 'Mideast War Intensifies.' What should it read instead? How about, 'Iran increasingly desperate.' More fake news from CNN. The sooner David Ellison takes over that network, the better"
WYDEN: Now, Mr. Mullin, remember you are under oath for these confirmation hearings and must answer truthfully if you know the answer. When did you stop beating your wife?
MULLIN: (smugly and reflexively) "I don't recall."

The FCC just opened public comments on SpaceX's plan to launch a million satellites to do AI compute in space. Under the current proposal, an environmental review won't be required. Please consider submitting a public comment to oppose this damaging plan.

There is a kind of smug, dull-minded "We're just here for the show" complicity in that room. During the press conference, Trump announced, not for the first time, "I don't talk to CNN, it's fake news." Why didn't the reporter immediately leave? Why does CNN still invite his stooges on its shows?
This heavily Black congressional district in Houston went without representation for nearly half of the term thanks to Gov. Greg Abbott (R) delaying the special election.
When Democrats regain power, Congress should pass a law requiring that House special elections take place in a timely manner

@cdmenefee.bsky.social sworn in to US House by Speaker Johnson, two days after Menefee won a runoff election in the Houston-area 18th District vacant since Democrat Sylvester Turner's death last March. #tx18
Can we just stop with all the rationalizations, cautious approach, negotiations etc. and call Trump what he is- a moron, a psychopath, a misogynist, an assaulter, a felon- and impeach and remove the guy already. If any person in Congress truly believes in this guy they are idiots and need to go to.
Trump is nothing if not ready to sacrifice anyone and anything in order to save his own ass and the single most important thing that could happen right now is someone convincing him that the biggest driver of his unpopularity is not just Bovino and Noem but Stephen Miller personally
Reminder: All it would take to end the murder of American citizens by an untrained government goon squad is 16 Republicans in Congress voting with Dems to defund ICE (or 23 to impeach and remove Trump — 3 in House & 20 in Senate). That’s it. 23 Americans can vote for the public and end all of this.

The choice is impeachment and removal or calamity for the United States. I don't see how anybody watching Trump's speech in Davos can draw any other conclusion. He's a senile madman.
