2. But despite the fact that I do this for a living, and have developed a high tolerance as a result, I am nonetheless exhausted. Endless stupidity wears a man out.

A legitimate president would answer reporters’ questions instead of demanding they identify what outlet they’re from and then hurling insults at them. But a criminal who ran for president to avoid going to prison would act the way Trump acts.

😳 WOMAN REPORTER: Do sexual abuse allegations mean nothing to you, sir? TRUMP: Wait. Wait! Wait wait wait. Slow down. Who are you with? REPORTER: NBC, sir. But they are very serious sex abuse allegations TRUMP: Quiet! Isn't she a fresh person? You're a horrible little reporter, aren't you?

Trump calls for Ilhan Omar to immediately resign & says, "please inform our great Speaker, James Michael Johnson that the Democrat Party has conceded her seat ... she will not be allowed to me a member of that body any longer" Trump's crowd in Iowa then starts chanting "Lock her up! Lock her up!"

THEY ARE NOT POWERLESS TO STOP HIM! Go back to Washington, stand on the steps of the Capitol and demand Johnson and Thune recall the House and Senate, and impeach him. THIS IS HOW IT IS SUPPOSED TO WORK! THERE IS LITERALLY AN INSTRUCTION MANUAL! (It's called the Constitution.)

Republican lawmakers are incensed about Trump's dismissal of Ukraine — and powerless to stop him. That frustration hit a new peak on Monday as they sought to address Trump’s decision to purchase Russian diesel, waive sanctions on Moscow, and potentially stop sharing intelligence with Ukraine.

Now, Putin has proposed a summit with Trump and Xi to decide Ukraine’s fate for them, bulldoze a century of international cooperation, and frame Russia as an equal to the U.S. and China. We’ll see if Putin’s puppet continues to dance on his strings.

I stand with American Muslims against the despicable racist attacks by the Republican Party. Please stand with us in favor of decency. Vote against all Republicans.

Isn’t it time for every honest member of the political media to declare loudly and clearly that Trump and the Republicans are building a dictatorship?

What’s David Brooks think of this?

Trump: "The Republican Party, we believe that Somalia bandits, third-world gangs, and jihadist sympathizers do not belong in Ohio, they do not belong in America. We got to get them the hell out of here." More "De-port! De-port!" chants from the crowd.

This week Chicago City Council unanimously passed a resolution honoring Chicago's rapid response networks and other Chicagoans who stepped up to respond to Operation Midway Blitz

It costs zero for a Republican liar to lie to a pollster and vote red anyways. With a positive upside that it “proves” their shared fallacy of “nobody knows anything” when we have another “the polls were wrong” event.

BTW, this is just pure tin-pot dictator shit. There’s no nuance here, no 4D chess. This is purely the stuff of rogue nations that are threatening to become terrorist states.

Trump to the UN: "Do I annihilate the Islamic Republic, and do it quickly? Do I drive them into hell?"

He’s literally building a fortified bunker, now an arch that holds major weapons, and controls the military and nukes. He has zero plams to leave, people better wake tf up

The Washington Post@washingtonpost.com

President Trump said his proposed 250-foot triumphal arch will now be a “top grade” military complex that will house drones, snipers and ammunition “for National Security purposes.” https://wapo.st/4deuPN5

Look at this garbage “tracker”. The United States government continues to waste MY time and MY money, generating unprofessional trash for idiots to consume. Slopulism.

Natalie Alms@almsnatalie.bsky.social

The website also includes a "fraud tracker" for individuals to look up a "map of enforcement actions, suspensions, and recoveries by state and locality" -- though the interactive feature only lists agencies in Washington, D.C.

Your regular reminder -- yes, I'm going to keep on with this -- that Republicans in Congress are just fine with everything he's doing.

Trump: "The Kennedy Center is in a virtual state of collapse, and has been for many years ... unfortunately, the Building is destined to doom. Isn’t that too bad?"

Tim Bluesky reposted

for instance my generalization that everyone in the trump administration is a garbage monster who should be jailed seems pretty accurate to me

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Trump: "They say you can't generalize about groups of people. But you can!"

It is journalistic malpractice that major news outlets are not producing 5-alarm-fire reports to warn the public that the president of the United States is out of his mind.

Pritzker: So here’s the truth, plain and simple: Our state is under siege. Not by protesters, immigrants, the deep state, the press, Canada or Mexico or Greenland, Antifa or Jewish space lasers or pride parades. No. Our state's under siege by a petty, corrupt man in Washington.

“The majority of Americans are open to living car-free even after decades of car-centric planning, a new survey finds…A stunning 18% of car-owning U.S. residents indicated that they were ‘strongly interested’ in living car-free, and another 40% said that they were ‘open’ to it.” @usa.streetsblog.org

This week’s Supreme Court decision is another reminder of what we are up against heading into November. They can put more obstacles in our way, but they cannot take away our power. Our answer is to show up, make our voices heard, and turn out in numbers that are too big to rig.

Being on X fucks up your worldview in a way that even smart people who understand what Musk is trying to do refuse to admit. You can't sit in the sewer all day and still be disgusted by shit. Worse yet, it encourages people to feel righteous when shame might be a more appropriate emotion.

He should have gone to prison for pressuring Brad Raffensperger to “find” 11,780 votes. That’s the very definition of election interference. We all heard the call.

I'm never going to get over the fact that the president of the United States paid a woman more than $5 million after a jury found him liable for raping her. And he's still president. And people still support him. Never. Get. Over. It.

When the government rigs elections, solicits bribes, launches illegal wars, sends the feds to intimidate reporters at their homes and executes people in the streets, it’s smelling a lot like a dictatorship.

I see a lot of “so-and-so is a birthright citizen” because their parents weren’t citizens when they were born on American soil. But the truth is, we’re all birthright citizens, unless we have been naturalized.

You can't have a functional democracy when it's run by people who lie all the time. Which means you can't have a functional democracy run by Republicans.
