I’m watching Trump at this press briefing praise Amy Acton’s abusive mom and calling her an honest woman. He’s a sick and small man. And he will be remembered as the worst person to ever serve as president.

BREAKING NEWS: Convicted Felon Donald Trump has now been ordered to sit for his sworn videotaped deposition by December 11, 2026, or risk having his $10 billion defamation lawsuit against the BBC dismissed.

Trump’s goal is to intimidate me and get me to back down. That’s not going to happen. I will not be silenced, and I will not stop fighting for my constituents.

Yep.

Our rights don't come from your god or anyone else's. They’re protected by a secular Constitution, not granted by a supernatural being. If rights came from God, they’d depend on whose god you believe in. That’s precisely why separating religion and government matters.

Woo hoo !!!

Court orders Trump to sit for a deposition in his lawsuit against the BBC. The whole case is boomeranging against him and coming to focus on January 6. I’ll have a Substack essay out on it in a few hours. harrylitman.substack.com

FYI, people.

Ramaswamy is a sick, morally bankrupt piece of shit exploiting a woman’s rape at age 12 to win an election. He gave her estranged, abusive mother a platform to weaponize her childhood trauma. There is something profoundly fucking wrong with this man. He has no business holding public office. 🤬

The president of the United States has taken the side of a tyrant, threatening and in a hybrid war with our NATO allies. A strategic and moral error, at least as bad as the Iran War. And if he isn't stopped, he may join us in war AGAINST Ukraine. Congress must assert its Article I authority now.

The elite use propaganda to trick average homeowners into hating the poor. I watched Reagan kill public services, forcing everyday people to volunteer and fill the gaps while billionaires got massive tax cuts. They weaponize class division to end public aid and keep every dollar flowing to the top.

Donald Trump set another record. There’s NEVER been an election (since polling began in the United States) where voters said “corruption” was their top worry. Until now.

They started on illegal immigrants, expanded it to legal immigrants, now are going after naturalized citizens. If you are not one of those groups, you are just somewhere further down the chain, but they will get to eliminating your rights eventually too.

Oh really? That’s weird, because the Constitution explicitly prohibits religious tests for public office. So who should we believe about America’s founding principles: a pastor spouting nonsense about our history or the actual Constitution?

Christian nationalist MAGA pastor Lorenzo Sewell says it is the job of the church to select our elected leaders: "The preachers were always meant to pick the politicians, to anoint the politicians, and to appoint the politicians."

Brent Shaffer reposted

Trump's targeting of @repilhan.bsky.social & weaponization of the federal government is fascism, plain & simple. Just like his attacks on the press. Just like his abduction of immigrants. Just like his assault on our elections. He wants us in a state of fear. But we will NOT be silenced.

What you see as the US flag, many people around the world see as you would see a Nazi flag. It doesn't matter whether you're a "good German" or a good USian. When you allow the corrupt and cruel to represent you on the world stage, that's the only version of you the world will see.

I’m feeling sick! ​Today, our supposed allies decided to give the mad goblin in the Kremlin more money to keep killing us, and blamed us for it in the process! We made them buy russian oil, you see? By defending ourselves. Freaking circus. ​Donate to the Armed Forces of Ukraine
