Even if you are a Trump supporter who hates migrants, you are probably also a person paranoid about government power. Do you really want a government where a single appointee can declare someone dead without any proof or due process, basically making them a non-person?

New in PN: John Roberts will save the judiciary if he has to burn it down "As we saw this week, whenever there's a danger that the Trump administration might face real consequences for defying a court order, Roberts and company leap on the grenade to make sure it never happens."

So WH Press Secretary just asked do we trust Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth or do we trust @jeffreygoldberg.bsky.social Easy answer. I trust my eyes, I trust my ears, I trust my intelligence. I TRUST JEFFREY GOLDBERG ALL DAY AND EVERY DAY OVER HEGSETH.

I find it RICH Trump accuses Zelensky of being a Dictator (when he ignores the Constitution), and Zelensky is going to bring about WWII, when what all I can see is tRUMP marching his country straight into a Civil War.

Any psychologist or psychiatrist (or former abused spouse) will tell you that President Zelensky gave a master class today on how to deal with a malignant narcissist. He is an amazing man. We can all learn from him.

60 MINUTES: “Utter nonsense. The most accountable aid agency in the world is USAID… DOGE fired their top 58 officials within an hour of arriving…” This was never about efficiency. Full: www.instagram.com/reel/DGLXa9r...

Unreal. DOGE posted National Reconnaissance Office (NRO) headcounts. NRO budgets and headcounts are classified to prevent adversaries from using them to extrapolate our intelligence priorities. Stop giving kids who don’t know what the fuck they’re doing access to this shit.

trump has plenty of course words about a Catholic Bishop who asks him nicely to "have mercy," but Putin hits a Chernobyl nuclear power plant with a drone, and he says *checks notes* NOT A FUCKING THING. What a weak, punk ass bitch.

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

🚨 WHOA!!! Sen. Whitehouse: Mark my words. This Patel guy will come back to haunt you. Every piece of evidence shows that.

Russia is so desperate that it is relying on Iranian weapons and North Korean troops, but according to the Trump admin they are too mighty for the greatest military force of all time.

REPOST if you support our federal workforce and know how dedicated they are to their jobs. Show them you appreciate them!

This need to be said more often. Elon Musk is not an intelligent person. He used is father's money to buy intelligent people's ideas. Americans confuse that with intelligence. But he's an immature idiot who surrounds himself with young men who tell him how smart/funny he is. He is neither..

JUST IN: A federal judge in Washington says she's concerned that the White House is still implementing the spending freeze that she and a Rhode Island judge have ordered temporarily halted. Judge AliKhan is inclined to issue a restraining order.

So the tariffs thing was a phony?? Just a dick waving contest for Trump to show how "tough" he is?? What an a**hole!!

Never seen anything like it. Members of Congress trying to access a government agency, USAID, and being denied entry. It has been ILLEGALLY shut down at night by an unelected billionaire with no Congressional authority nor security clearance. CONSTITUTIONAL CRISIS. (📸 Aaron Fritschner)

“Make no mistake, what’s happening right now is a hostile takeover of the federal government by a private agency operating with a broad mandate and no concerns for the stability of the United States or the interests of the average American.” Alexander Vindman open.substack.com/pub/alexande...

If making America great again requires you to pay more for everything, lose your retirement savings, work more for less pay, be unable to afford health insurance, become an indentured servant to the oligarchs, maybe you were better off with the no so great version.

Just two weeks ago, everyone was screeching about China stealing all of our data through TikTok, but now Elon steals it and the MAGA crisis actors are OK with it? That's some fucking bullshit.

if I understand American politics correctly, progressivism is something that requires 60 senate votes to work, while national conservatism doesn’t require any votes at all

A short 🧵 on an act of constitutional arson currently underway. Not only is it not facing ferocious resistance, Congress is mostly complicit in silence. A private citizen, unelected, without security clearance, is dismantling a $40Bn government agency. And millions globally will die as a result.

The tornado alert test siren just went off and it was as comforting as music. I couldn't figure out why I got teary-eyed until I realized it was relief at a functional alarm system, one that's still funded, one that still works, blaring the same way it always does on the first Monday of the month.

Bruce MacKinnon, the editorial cartoonist at the Halifax Chronicle-Herald, drew this last November. No newspaper would print it. It now deserves an outing.

I’d like these people to lose the ability to be in public, then be jailed for treason. For life.

Oh, hey; it’s the biggest U.S. data privacy breach _ever_ ever, brought to us through presidential action in contravention of federal law! ✨

There isn’t a single job, not one, anywhere in the country that Trump is qualified to be hired for, with the possible exception of medical school cadaver. I say this with the utmost seriousness. Incompetence, ignorance, insanity, and stupidity are his only qualifications.

A near-miss in DC just 24 hours before deadly American Airlines crash: Republic Airways Flight 4514 was forced to back out of touching down and had to make a second approach after a helicopter appeared near its flight path.

Infectious Disease doc here 🙋🏻‍♂️. The only reason to give less vaccine to Black people is if you don’t want them to be protected. This is straight up medical racism. #DoNotConfirmRFKJr

You may know about his refusal to stop promoting dangerous conspiracy theories, but did you also know Robert Kennedy Jr. can’t even answer basic questions about major health programs like Medicare and Medicaid that he would oversee as HHS Secretary?

WATCH — Dems say “of course” Republicans are trying to kill public education, adding: “They’re out of touch with their own voters… the far right agrees with US on this (voucher scam) issue.” @JRClemmons @yarbro @RepJoeTownsJr @TNDemocrats @TNSenateDems

I’m going to spend the next four years dealing with cases emanating out of Trump’s first 100 days.

Start calling him a stupid fuck. A halfwit is smarter than him. Push him on the questions and when you've got him against the wall, then tell him that he's not qualified to hold this job, he's not qualified to answer these questions, he's not even qualified to give his opinion!

There’s no legal requirement for allies to share intel with us, but it saves lives. Last year, in just one example, it disrupted a terrorist attack at a Taylor Swift concert. Gabbard’s actions cast doubt on her ability to build trusting relationships & keep Americans safe.

This is character. This is bravery. This is leadership. Colombia >>> United States Make America Great Again? HAH. You native people murderers, you slave owners, you racists. America was never great. The first step in making it great will be to remove Trump & GOP, and create a real democracy.

Our economy is far larger than it was decades ago. Where have most of the gains gone? To the top. Any path forward must include a fight to restructure the economy toward more widely shared prosperity. This isn’t a blue state vs. red state phenomenon. It’s a class phenomenon.

The White House Financial Disclosure page has been WIPED. The U.S. Office of Government Ethics mandates public financial disclosures for high-level federal officials through the OGE Form 278e promoting transparency and ensuring compliance with the Ethics in Government Act of 1978. SHARE EVERYWHERE!

This asshole is: 1. Railing against someone who actually practices their faith as Jesus instructed, something he never does; 2. Railing against people who release criminals from jails when he released over a thousand just this week; and 3. Railing against refugees, when Jesus was one in Egypt.

REMINDER: It was never really about Blue vs Red, Democrats vs Republicans, Black vs White... It was ALWAYS about ultra-wealthy vs everyone else. And now they want to ransack our Social Security so they can get another tax cut for the rich. Fuck. That.

Donald Trump should be in prison. Donald Trump should be in prison. Donald Trump should be in prison. Donald Trump should be in prison. Donald Trump should be in prison. Donald Trump should be in prison. Donald Trump should be in prison. Donald Trump should be in prison. Share if you agree.

HELL YEAH! Congressman Jim McGovern TORE Speaker Mike Johnson a new for saying it wasn’t “his place” to question Trump’s January 6 pardon. “Not your place?? WHO THE HELL’S PLACE IS IT?” He said. “How about you stand with the officers who protected you and not a reality show wannabe dictator.” 💙

If she can do it, we can all do it.

What a very brave lady. To receive Death threats after the Orange on tweet. The ubiquitousness of just following is just sad

The WH website for the Office of Gun Violence Prevention and the Spanish translated site are down To be clear, Spanish is the 2nd most language in the US & GUN VIOLENCE IS THE LEADING CAUSE OF DEATH IN CHILDREN #ThisISOurLane #Sisepuede @meganranney.bsky.social @choo.bsky.social

My NIH study section that was to meet tomorrow was one of those canceled. This represents many months of work by the applicants and by the NIH staff and reviewers. Devastating is the correct word.
