it’s honestly incredible that republicans in Congress, the Supreme Court, elite universities, and top law firms have all bought into this conception of Trump invincibility when he’s on the precipice of completely blowing up the economy and neutering his entire presidency

At least this Republican Congressman from Kentucky is being honest. That for him representative democracy is dead. He doesn’t seem to care about wrecking the livelihoods of Kentuckians. His job is to do for his dictator in Washington, DC. His only constituent.

Sen. Booker’s speech was a substantive and moral account of this moment. He did not read the phone book. He did not babble. For 24 hours @booker.senate.gov laid out a detailed, damning, and critical narrative of truth, history, politics, morality, humanity. What will you do?

That they weren’t aware of this — or they were and just didn’t care — before shipping people to an offshore gulag is just pure, concentrated evil. People need to go to prison for this.

Harris had moderate stances on every major issue and Trump's are insane, what are we even doing here

Of the three presidential campaigns against Trump, two (2016 and 2024) made elaborate appeals to centrists at the expense of their relationship with progressives, and only one (2020) prioritized efforts to bridge the gap with progressives, however impermanently. The latter approach won.

Walz: "The idea that the secretary of education would not know what IDEA is -- individuals with disability in education act -- that's like your mechanic not knowing how to put air in your tire. And she's in charge of this nation's education progress. It is catastrophic."

I've been a Christian for most of my 55 years on this planet, and in all that time, I've never once had a bunch of atheists show up at my church protesting me or telling me I'm immoral or arguing that I shouldn't be allowed to marry who I love. Maybe that's telling...

I think it’s fascinating how this administration’s guiding principle on every single policy is just “be evil.” Starving children? Take away their food. AIDS patients? Take away their treatments. Refugees from conflict zones? Deport them. Nations under attack? Cut off assistance. VA? Fire everyone.

It needs to be more plainly stated that Russia's goals are to destroy the West, including the U.S., that Donald Trump and JD Vance, as recipients of intelligence reports, are perfectly aware that these are Russia's goals, & that Trump and Vance are doing what they are doing w/ this knowledge in hand

Every day should be like this for all of them. ALL OF THEM. ALL THE TIME. EVERYWHERE THEY GO. They shouldn't be able to go out to eat, to relax, to vacation, to shop, without someone making a noise.

"No fuel to Americans!"

Republicans Against Trumpism@rpsagainsttrump.bsky.social

WOW. After yesterday’s Oval Office ambush of President Zelensky, Haltbakk Bunkers, one of Norway’s leading marine fuel providers, announced that it will no longer refuel U.S. Navy vessels, urging other European firms to follow suit. The United States is weaker and more isolated than ever.

I wish more people would draw attention to the absolute elitism of JD Vance's behavior. In traditional times, this would be seen as offensive to working-class audiences.

derek guy@dieworkwear.bsky.social

As a general matter, I also dislike the idea of respectability in dress because the concept is often unevenly applied. It bothered me to see Vance smirking during this moment, as he supposedly champions the forgotten working poor who are most often shamed because of these concepts.

Megan reposted

Yesterday, Vance harassed the leader of a country under attack from Russian bombs and missile - who has stayed to defend his nation Today, Vance, who lectures about masculinity, fled because of protesters with signs Same guy who won't defend his wife and in-laws from vile racist attacks

Wall Street Journal Editorial Board comes out swinging against JD Vance. Indeed, key moment in downward spiral was Vance lashing out in response to Zelenskyy's point on diplomacy with Putin WSJ: "It is bewildering to see Mr. Trump’s allies defending this debacle as some show of American strength."

wsj.comOpinion | Putin Wins the Trump-Zelensky Oval Office SpectacleVice President Vance starts a public fight that only helps Russia’s dictator.

Vance definitely did this for the Fox "News" sound bite because those viewers are likely unaware and will believe him...because they get their news from right wingnuts.

Steve Benen@stevebenen.com

It's not necessarily the most important part of today's Oval Office debacle, but Vance suggested that Zelenskyy has never thanked the U.S. for its support — and that's demonstrably ridiculous. www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

Megan reposted

This was a disgusting display by the soft, uninformed VP Vance trying to school Zelensky, the man who has led his country through the most surprisingly resilient and effective fight for sovereignty against a global superpower. Every negative stereotype about America is confirmed in this exchange.

ZELENSKYY: Putin broke the ceasefire. What kind of diplomacy, JD, are you speaking about? VANCE: I think it's disrespectful to come into the Oval Office and try to litigate this in front of the American media

Megan reposted

Trump's press conference with Zelensky really makes it feel official, at least for our foreign policy. We're not on the side of liberal democracies. Things are going to get really fucking bad.

Every mainstream attempt to grapple with the rise of Tate and other misogynist ideologues have posed them as a product of men’s despair. Few have posited them as an assault on women’s safety and dignity.

We need to talk more about how it feels to be a woman amidst this sudden onslaught of “reclaiming masculinity,” celebrating male aggression and violence, and vanishing smart experienced women from positions of power.

There it is! "Putin went through a hell of a lot with me. He went through a phony witch hunt." He is referring to them weathering their collusion becoming public, and now is the big payback: together until the end.

Trump to a reporter who asks him about Russia breaking a ceasefire: "What if a bomb drops on your head right now ... Putin went through a hell of a lot with me. He went through a phony witch hunt."
