Oh bullshit. If we learned nothing from January 6, it’s that the more honest the outcome, the more likely he will try to overthrow it.

President Trump said that he will respect next week’s midterm results “if they’re honest elections” amid growing concerns from Democrats over his pre-election rhetoric.

Any Special Counsel would report to Blanche and the most corrupt DOJ since Hoover, and would get nowhere. Just vote to release the damn files with no redactions other than victims' names, and let state and local prosecutors take it from there.

"It was revealed that the post-cooked weight of the so-called 'QUARTER POUNDER' is only seven ounces. Because McDonald's used a fake name, I assume they must IMMEDIATELY give a lifetime supply to PRESIDENT TRUMP. Please inform CEO Mayor McCheese. Thank you for your attention to this matter!"

“Therefore, because she used a fake name to be sworn in, I assume she must IMMEDIATELY resign from Congress. Please inform the Speaker of the House of Representatives, James Michael Johnson, that the Dumocrat Party has just conceded her seat.”

But sure: tell me again why he wasn’t really inciting violence on January 6. “But he said PEACEFUL protest” bitch STFU

The Hill@thehill.com

President Trump on Wednesday evening lauded one of his supporters for punching a protester at a campaign rally in Clemson, South Carolina. Trump compared the punch to one from Evander 'the real deal' Holyfield, who attended the rally.

And if it did happen and your answer was “I platformed the mother of an abused child who chose the abuser over her own kid because I thought it might be good for a poll bump” expect Ben Franklin to say “Jesus Fucking Christ dude what the hell is wrong with you” then yeet you straight into Hades

Philip Bump@pbump.com

Even if this were viable as a concept (that there's an afterlife; that it allows conversations with others; that enslavers are going the same place as you), who cares? Oh, are you mad at me, Ben Franklin? Tough shit.

As someone who grew up in the DC area, you have no idea how infuriating this is to me

The cherry trees are a symbol of DC. Huge number of tourists visit them each year and are a thing of beauty. But Trump cuts down the oldest cherry blossoms in DC for his golf course. He has ruined our city. www.alternet.org/trump-dc-gol...

Didn’t read the article, but I’m assuming it just says “because it keeps you from focusing on the Epstein files, the open corruption, the assault on democracy, gas prices, his felony convictions, and everything else that matters way more than a golf course.”

Does the president have an "absolute right" to a new golf course? www.vox.com/the-logoff-n...

Just put it in a classified White Housr briefing, and have everyone line up at the Mar-a-Lago men’s room where they can read it at their leisure

Elizabeth Warren@warren.senate.gov

In a classified briefing, a DoD official revealed to Senators how much Iranian attacks on U.S. bases have cost us. Now, I'm calling for the DoD to make that number public. Americans deserve to know how much of their money is being burned on Trump's war with Iran.

Davis’s tweet reeks of fear. So many of Trump’s enablers are terrified that accountability is coming.

Josh Marshall@joshtpm.bsky.social

Those of you familiar with him know that Mike Davis is one of the genuinely fascist players in the MAGA legal world. Here he is first lying about what Slotkin said and then threatening her with assassination. A product of the corruption and rot of the conservative legal movement.

"I WANT THIS WAR END"

Mike Nellis@mikenellis.bsky.social

Trump is clearly freaking out as both parties have universally condemned his decision to remove Lindsey Graham’s sanctions against Russian oligarchs. He’s now trying to argue it’s about some secret plan he has to end the war in Ukraine. You have to be a special kind of stupid to believe him.

Starting with the President and all the way down, this entire administration is just people who learned to fake competence after having failed at the lives they initially wanted.

If the FBI was going to raid Representative Omar’s home I certainly hope they had reasonable cause that she had done something serious, and weren’t just pursuing something trivial like stealing highly classified nuclear secrets and stashing them in her bathroom

If it wasn’t for the cruelty to the accused, I would actually welcome the live-streaming of an execution. Make everyone who loves to cheer on the death penalty watch the abject horror of the reality. Don’t allow them to look away. Let them see exactly what they’ve been lobbying for all this time.

I don’t know who needs to hear this but please stop doing things that we long ago figured out weren’t great ideas. Don’t drink raw milk. Vaccinate your kids. Drink water with fluoride in it. Vote for the smarter candidate. For fuck’s sake, people.
