In 1864, in the middle of the Civil War, Abraham Lincoln signed a law protecting Yosemite for public use. Trump’s regime has been quietly weighing a plan to hand a strip of it to a private developer. Lincoln saved it. Trump’s Republican Party wants to list it on Zillow.

Trump: "You gotta understand -- American did not start the war with Iran. Iran has been waging this war against America since 1979." (Trump launched an unprovoked attack on Iran in February.)

Jared Kushner helped MBS cover up the murder of Jamal Khashoggi. During Covid he seized PPE to stockpile & took millions in PPP loans. Then he got $2B from the Saudis. I'm not suggesting Jared's corrupt as fuck, I'm saying it outright! #ProudBlue #Pinks #SheShed

@reds.com your part (sponsoring) in the attack ad against Amy Acton on behalf of Vivek Ramaswampy is abhorrent. Your disdain for woman and using childhood sexual assault against someone for political points is bottom of the barrel trash behavior! #Pinks #ProudBlue #OneV1

EL-SAYED: I get that the President takes personal offense to my first name. He doesn't mind as much when it's the Saudis who are funding his son-in-law's private equity. Doesn't seem to mind as much when it's the Qataris who are giving them a $400 million private jet…

Lets say that Democrats give you 40% of the things you want if they win that's still better than the 0 you are getting out of Republicans who are only interested in what they can take

Hell yeah

Seizing Elon Musk's assets and trying him for treason would not be the first time in history when enemies of America from among the wealthy saw their fortunes confiscated.

All he cares about is winning that prize. He couldn't care less about the effects of the war on Americans or the rest of the world.

So we are "fighting fraud" by establishing a NEW slush fund where Trump personally decides payouts? What a grift. Trump is serious about fraud—serious about committing it!

Trump: "Sometimes there's a dispute about who turned them in and who is supposed to get what and when. So I am going to do something which I think people will like - I will be the arbitrator of all of these decisions. I'll determine whether the person is deserving ... there's nothing in this for me"

A nation cannot say that they are democratic if wealthy citizens (and even non-citizens) can make donations to affect the results of elections, giving unfair advantage to some candidates. It's simple, it's obvious, and it's been happening in the US for its lifetime, and only getting worse.

Our “fricken genius” oaf in the Oval Office was too involved honing his “cog-in-itive” skills to acknowledge today’s tragedy in Bend, OR. We gave him 5 words to remember: “guns”, “mentally”, “ill”, “is”, “dangerous”. Some minutes when asked to recall he said: “N”, “R”, “A”, “bigly”, “supporter”.

Democrats need to be ready to hold hearings and inquiries into the assault that Musk, Zuckerberg and other tech bros are making against democratic institutions at home and abroad.

ICE flights have deported Somalis three times in as many weeks. It’s unprecedented.

Mark Jacob@markjacob.bsky.social

I’m alarmed that more people aren’t alarmed by Trump targeting Somali Americans and labeling them “garbage” and “crooks” who “contribute nothing.” Most of them are U.S. citizens, yet Trump says, “I don’t want them in our country.” If you know history, you know the horror this can lead to.

I always have mixed feelings about these images. Yes, it's inspiring to see these college students committed to democracy, but the fact that they have to do anything remotely difficult to exercise their voting rights is enraging. Taking part in a democracy should be as easy as possible.

This statement seems to be at the root of most of our problems: “When the City punishes the person who reports corruption instead of the people who commit it, every civil servant learns to stay quiet.”
