The founders assumed a guy like Trump would come along. They never assumed a congress would so willingly give up their power This arch thing is bat shit loonery

Remember this:

Bam

Thank you Massachusetts Democrats for another great convention. When Donald Trump and his MAGA republicans try to knock us down we come back stronger than ever. Massachusetts won’t back down.

Correct.

How do we know Trump didn’t order Kirk’s assassination as a distraction from Epstein — and a tactic to start the civil unrest he needs to declare Martial Law and delay the 2026 midterms?

it's all just getting stupider isn't it

Why is not Trump’s letter a federal crime- lying to Congress -given its false claims re DC crime?And why shd he be immune from suit for this when anyone else wd be prosecuted. Read Trump’s Letter to Congress About D.C. Police Department www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

In my expert opinion, she's excellent.

When he said this, how come no one in the room didn’t laugh in his face? Why does NO ONE ever call him out? Exactly how horrendous are his threats against those who cross him?

George Conway: “Trump said something that the people who work for him now should remember. He said the people who worked for Obama—they’re not protected by the immunity decision. All you people working Trump, you better watch it because you don’t have immunity.” ht: @krassenstein.bsky.social

We have the list. The list is coming.There is no list. The list is a hoax created by the Democrats. Why didn’t Biden release the list? I’m not on the list. Bill Clinton is on the list. I’m going to show you names on the list. How fucking stupid do you have to be to believe a word of this shit?

We’re at the Nuremberg trials, and he starts playing the kazoo believing we’ll look away.

AOC: “It should be our mission right now to make sure that all people have health care!"

Trump and his cronies claim they support immigration as long as it’s done legally. But today, thousands of Afghans in the U.S. lose their Temporary Protected Status. They’re here legally and would be targeted by the Taliban if they had to return home. The cruelty is the point.

Well, he’s now on daddy’s shit list🤣🤣🤣

You speak wisely

Remember, spending $100 million on your wedding is not to impress anybody, it is to rub your wealth in the noses of 99.99999999999% less fortunate when you could have instead uplifted or fed 1000s using the same amount of money.

Jeff Bezos is worth $230 billion and is reportedly spending $20 million on a three-day wedding in Venice while sailing around on his $500 million yacht. If he can afford to do that, he can afford a wealth tax and to pay Amazon workers a living wage. Hello?

Today marks the third anniversary of the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade. What's happened since? A record number of women have been prosecuted. Pregnancy loss is now considered extremely suspicious, even when it has nothing to do with abortion.

The Ku Klux Klan Acts (passed in 1870 & 1871 to protect 14th amend rights) were particularly focused on masked gunmen who violated the civil rights of Black people. We should remember this history when masked law enforcement ofcrs are deployed in our communities. open.substack.com/pub/sherrily...

Barzillai Lew (b. 1743) served in the American Revolution. He purchased the freedom of his wife, Dinah Bowman, for $400 in 1767. The 1790 census of lists him as head in a household of 14 free people of color. Their house became a stop on the Underground Railroad. freedomsway.org/story/barzil...

Today marks the third anniversary of the Supreme Court's Dobbs decision that overturned Roe v. Wade.  A reminder that abortion bans are not "pro-life." They are pro-poverty & pro-inequality. https://youtu.be/SN3oLwO0OEE?si=eRK9ZK-0doOhECIj

I’m 79 years old today. A few days ago, several grad students I know (who are 50 years younger than me) sat around a big oak table in my house and asked me questions about my life. I wanted to share some of our conversation with you. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/a-conversation-on-my-79th

🤣🤣🤣🤣👍

He’d make the two Corinthians proud.

That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress, or our allies, or fully explaining to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers. Reminder that Congress has the power to stop all of this. Where the hell are they? Hello?

Trump’s go-to line about every foreign policy crisis and war - from Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, to October 7th, to the Israel’s devastation of Gaza - was “It would never have happened if I was president.” Welp.

The most incompetent, morally bankrupt moron in American history leading the most incompetent, morally bankrupt morons in American history. 😳👇

I would say ABC should be ashamed of themselves but I spent enough to time in TV to know networks have no shame. What they have are shareholders & corporate owners. We have a POTUS who refers to a Governor as ‘Newscum’ and it gets accepted by news orgs but calling out evil isn’t.

Weird how he didn’t call up the National Guard on January 6th.
