Fox endorses DSA (again)

That time speaker Johnson cut an ad for the DSA

The thing about Trump failing at all of his loftier promises is he’s systematically eliminated every excuse (for non billionaires) to support him except for the simpleton xenophobia and gutter racism. If you’re still on board, it’s crystal clear why.

This is dead on. If the Democrats retake the House and Senate--or even just the House--it could mark the beginning of the end of a 50-year Republican project. If they can't? The GOP will spend the next 2 years destroying all remaining guardrails. Most important midterms of our lives, no question.

The Roberts Court, the Trump White House, and the national GOP are acting like this is their one big shot. Either they secure the lasting end of US Constitutional democracy, or they’re in very serious trouble from the backlash. And they’ve already gone so far that there’s no other possibility.

The president’s mental health is a global crisis.

Slavery was legal. The Holocaust was legal. The blatantly partisan U.S. Supreme Court rulings to steal Black political power and empower the dictator are legal too. But that doesn’t make them right, and they won’t survive the real justice that is coming.

PSA: *reporting* Israel is bombing “Hezbollah” in Lebanon is like saying Israel is only bombing “Hamas” in Gaza — when we can all see them hitting civilians, apartment buildings, ambulances etc… all you do when you use their preferred words is sacrifice your own credibility.

New in PN: A regime of idiots — A complete inventory of Trump stooges "The downside of Trump’s reliance on sub-mediocre stooges is they amplify his own stupidity & terrible judgment. Dumb stooges inevitably emulate his sadism & laziness, leading to a govt marked by sociopathology on a grand scale."

Again: What was the point?

“A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again.” -Trump Article III The following acts shall be punishable: (a) Genocide; (b) Conspiracy to commit genocide; (c) Direct and public incitement to commit genocide; (d) Attempt to commit genocide; (e) Complicity in genocide.

Important for everyone to read this thread:

Somewhere in Trump's brain, the countries-that-don't-extradict-to-the-US neuron whimpered and let out one last dying burst of neurotransmitters.

I am so far beyond cringing or embarrassment.

Pam Bondi was a shitty AG. But apparently not shitty enough for Trump.

may this define her for the rest of her life. she was willing to stoop this low and still got fired. girl, bye.

Reporting like this makes clear that Trump’s thinking about his war is completely incoherent and governed by whatever impulse he’s feeling at a given moment

I love her too. 🖖💕

I can’t wait until Robert Garcia becomes the chair of the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform and has subpoena power. This is huge:

These rallies are full of people who are going to bake a plate of cookies and donate to a shelter while getting shitfaced when Trump dies

In fairness it’s not like the consequences of having a mad king unilaterally take the country to war on a whim were so incredibly obvious that you could see it coming from the 18th and 19th centuries www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Stable genius.

This is a fascinating media development, not only because Scott MacFarlane is leaving Bari Weiss' declining CBS News in the rear-view mirror, but because he brings Meidas Touch - generally considered a 'leftist' outlet - real journalistic legitimacy. www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/bus...

The little vest grabbing thing they all do... we've gotta get a name for that and make it as socially acceptable as jacking off in public as soon as possible.

Happy St. Patrick's Day, New York.

There were similar scenes playing out all over the world at ports of entry in 2021 during Covid as shipping was frozen in many places causing global inflation. But here in the US, we blamed Biden for that because we have a lot of stupid people.

I truly do think all of the "Noem out, Mullin in" posts and stories are failing American democracy right now! Trump is announcing his nominee. That's it. If the Senate majority wants to confirm him, they're a part of this—even after knowing what they know now. And that matters come November.

I've posted the heartbreaking update to the GoFundMe. The town is not agreeing to the HVSPCA using this property as a shelter. This is devastating. I'm at a loss. I budgeted to March 1st transfer. You've always been there for me and D. gofund.me/966bfb70e

No honey WE ALL didnt believe this man & his administration were different. WE ALL knew who this man was from the last horrific 4 years he was in office. YOU were part of what we have now so stop acting like you have no fault in electing this criminal. Call out the people who voted for this atrocity

Television pioneer Fred Rogers, gone 23 years ago today. His acceptance speech for the Lifetime Achievement Emmy Award is always worth a watch. #RIP 💔

Great news. We can discuss accountability for pedophiles again.

I mean, yes, in the same way you fear a mentally unwell person who thinks he’s seeing “witches” and has a gun, it’s not a thing u need to be proud of

they need to show up, take their seat and split with a few minutes before he shows up so they can't do a seat filler stunt.

NEW: SCOTUS' tariff ruling ripped out the heart of a central premise of Trump's presidency and made him look fallible at a time of mounting threats to his power. "This was an important case to me," Trump said in an understatement. w/ @joshgerstein.bsky.social www.politico.com/news/2026/02...

Pritzker’s invoice to White House: (via @nbcnews.com) @govpritzker.illinois.gov

Question is how far will he go to “distract”? Real question is: How unnerved is he by Epstein, by midterms, by being exposed for how truly depraved he is; by losing, getting decimated, then investigated, exposed? His pathology is screaming within him. His epic ugliness inside is howling within him.

His malignant narcissism, the dark triad of malevolent traits are seething, spitting a fury most sane humans are not wired to comprehend and have been blessed to never had cause to witness. He is a coward, yes. And weak. But he will use others; will use any and all of us, put the world at risk if…

If the chaos within him convinces him that creating more chaos outside will serve him, will distract, then he will. He is contemplating crazy beyond laws; contemplating ways to stay in power, to escape, “win.” We should not underestimate his fear of narcissistic injury, how far he is willing to go.

The anti-ICE citizen's watch really is the closest thing we have to real life superheroes

There are so many incredible characters doing this. People who you’d never suspect would be capable of just relentless bravery and determination. People you’d walk past without noticing, but who are literally putting everything on the line to protect their neighbors, still, today, every day.

President Trump is a disgrace. He's easily the most corrupt President in American history by a long shot. I'm not attending his State of the Union to listen to him ramble and lie. Instead, I'll be sharing the ways he's hurting hardworking Americans.

If they want to provide these IDs for voting for free and make sure it’s accessible to get one then we can talk. What they’re talking about amounts to a poll tax.

Democrats should propose amendments to the SAVE act that require the government to furnish free IDs to all eligible voters before requiring them, automatically register all people to vote, expand mail-in voting, and create a national voting holiday. Then watch republicans block them.
