MORE from Jack Smith: "I made my decisions in the investigation without regard to President Trump's political association, activities, beliefs, or candidacy ... We took actions based on what the facts and the law required—the very lesson I learned early in my career as a prosecutor."

In Indiana seven years ago today, the Donald said, “They [the Democrats] want to raid Medicare to pay for socialism.” 🙄

Crime in DC at 30 year low is apparently irrelevant.

It’s time to wake up - we are literally on the verge of losing our democracy if Donald Trump cheats his way to those seats in Texas.

Her meticulous close readings of these documents are astounding. But Marcy also nails the bigger picture. She's the only one who's noted that Trump's Reheated Reverse Russiagate stunts could be laying "the groundwork for capitulation to Putin by preempting any claim that he’s a Russian agent..."

His whole term “in office” is just an extended episode of elder abuse by family and staff.

But it’s Biden who’s old and feeble 🙄

This is a truly useful and edifying post! 🍋‍🟩

Must watch: Rachel Maddow’s sobering conversation tonight with Tim Weiner. Downright frightening even.

Hey Trumpiies, you’d do well to look up the definition of “obliterated”

Look at all those violent invaders. So scary.

we're all in agreement that if they really do throw everything they have at each other that Musk is completely fucked, right? this isn't a close contest, Trump can turn the entire power of the state on him and has shown no compunction about doing so a real coughing baby vs hydrogen bomb situation

If your reaction to Joe Biden being diagnosed with cancer is to double down on criticizing him and the party, you need to go outside, touch some grass, and re-evaluate your life choices.

Do we really need to hear from David Hogg? #msnbc

Waxman was uncommon, perhaps a rarity, even in his day for the breath of his policy knowledge and oversight ability. But observation here is dead on. None of this is being driven by any policy knowledge or even goals. It's just how to keep spinning the Rubiks cube until the get the right dollar ...

All sensible perspective lost to click fever derangement.

Been neglecting Bluesky, back for another go-round 🌠

Come the fuck on, he's keeping the plane!

I need an escape hatch out of this hideous current reality

Oh for a way to fast forward through this blockhead’s claptrap

Elon has become so toxic he's got some of the most right wing freaks in Congress going full Bernie. Ryan Zinke (R-BodySlam): "We can all agree on removing fraud, waste and abuse. ... Does it also mean that you remove benefits from those that need it? The answer is no."

THE Rep. Jasmine Crockett to Elon Musk: "Fuck off." So say we all. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Video clip courtesy of @calltoactivism.bsky.social

You have to be actually evil to do shit like this.

🚨 NEW: Wow, Trump's former VP Mike Pence just called Trump out for lying about Ukraine.

This is turbofucked in 1,000 ways. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/19/w...

I’m George Takei and I approve of this message.

Trump now wants to pilfer Ukraine’s rare minerals. The news keeps getting goofier with each hour.

What?? that won’t fly. JFC, what a nitwit.. like he knows thing one.

The president is wailing and stamping his feet. So inspiring

That first paragraph is the quote of the day.

Go ahead. Let the people see you for what you are.

The Capitol Hill switchboard is (202) 224-3121 Pick up the phone and call every single one of your representatives TODAY. They are destroying our food safety, nuclear safety, education, national parks, air safety and disease prevention. This nothing short of an attack on America from within.

Feeling grateful for my dear old Dad having left this coil long before the current travesty of our government. #coldcomfort

Also, because I keep seeing people say "Well, Adams might lose reelection" - IT'S NOT ABOUT ADAMS. It's about the principle of whether it's a big deal for the DOJ to be ordered to prosecute/not prosecute people because they are friends with Trump.

The House GOP plan calls cut taxes by $4.5 trillion - partially offset by more than $1 trillion in cuts to Medicaid & SNAP So they wanna do a giant tax cut that disproportionately helps the rich while taking away people's health insurance and food while still adding trillions to the debt.
