A serial rapist was elected twice as President, a fact we don't reckon with nearly enough. Now one of two major political parties has been molded in his image, run for and by violent sexual abusers who hate women.

Alert: The conversation surrounding American chain restaurant the Cheesecake Factory has officially expired. Please go outside.

how Trump speaks about Somalis is indistinguishable from how a Nazi would speak and yet the Press won’t even cover it. a majority of Americans will never know this was even said.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Trump: "Somalia -- 98% of the people here now from Somalia don't work. They don't have to work because they steal so much. They all have a Mercedes Benz. Low IQ and they live better than you do."

congress will be sat. one way or another.

Micah@rincewind.run

I agree that the danger point is the seating of the new congress, but if this is the caliber of legal argument we're going to be seeing to support their efforts to overturn the midterms, they are going to have to do it without court backing - yes, even SCOTUS imo

The Republican President of the United States, a convicted rapist, attacks rape victim after GOP ad blames her for her own rape. Wonder if the Press will report these facts?

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Trump: "Ramaswamy put up a very powerful Ad about a mother saying that her daughter, Acton, is a liar, and much worse. The Press is trying to get him to 'take down the Ad.' Frankly, anybody whose mother spoke about daughter that way would normally lead to the daughter being precluded from serving"

if you are raped, the GOP will blame you for it and the Republican Vice President will call you a liar. the media has nothing to say about these facts.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

JD Vance: "Now the media and the Democrats in the state of Ohio are obsessed because Vivek Ramaswamy had the audacity to run a TV commercial which calls it out like it is and call Amy Acton a liar"

the entire modern republican party is built on rape culture. the media refuses to admit this.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

WOW -- Vance *defends* Vivek's reprehensible ad 👇 Q: Ramaswamy's campaign put out a controversial ad featuring his opponent's mother. Some Republicans are backing away. Do you think it was appropriate? JD VANCE: Well, I'll be honest. Whether the ad was appropriate or not is not really my concern.

First two posts I see on Mark Zuckerberg’s Facebook this morning: a pro-Bolsonaro video, and a post featuring Jake Lang that states “Mohammed El Sayed wants to flood Michigan with Muslims.”

Unacceptable. Meta took down the No Kings Instagram today and kept it offline for well over an hour. Censoring free speech to appease Donald Trump? We the people deserve answers, but regardless, we will not be silenced.

Ossoff: "The crisis we must meet is deeper than this presidency. Trump's rise is proof that business as usual has failed, that our politics, sickened by corruption, is failing the American public and compromising our national integrity. And that the hour is late to fix what's broken."

“some people will get radicalized into very dangerous ideas, and I will follow every single one of them on Twitter”

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

JD Vance makes excuses for white nationalists: "When you demonize a guy because he's white, it's just as evil as when you demonize a guy because he's Black. When you demonize a guy because he's white ... some people will get radicalized into some very dangerous ideas."

That’s a very interesting way of saying that, despite occasional hyperbole, you anti-anti-Trumpers were wrong and his critics were substantively right all along.

Meta took down the No Kings organizing page today - the biggest day of protest this fall. They provided zero explanation. It stayed down for the entire afternoon until most of the protests were done. Outrageous. Put this on the January investigation list.

beautiful protest happening down the street from me today. drove past 5 others earlier today all over north jersey. love it.

at Trump 2’s first address to Congress, he singled out a mousy Marco Rubio and basically said “if it all goes to shit, we’re blaming him” lmfao

Prem Thakker ツ@premthakker.bsky.social

Inside Rubio's State Department —He's "basically…moved into the White House" —He's very close w/ Stephen Miller. Ultimately this has Rubio doing whatever Miller tells him to (Miller has joked privately on how he's subjugated Rubio) —Internal dissent channels are defunct; staff too scared to use them

Today, another American citizen & journalist was brutalized by Israeli settlers attacking Palestinians in the West Bank. This repeated violence & brazen impunity for attacks against Americans & Palestinians alike are unacceptable. When will Trump & Rubio DO SOMETHING?

washingtonpost.comIsraeli settlers attack Palestinians and Washington Post photographer in West BankThe settlers attacked Palestinians harvesting olives and beat Heidi Levine, a veteran photojournalist. Witnesses said Israeli soldiers did nothing to halt the violence.

huge deal. they are on the back foot.

Katie Zacharia completed law school, got a law degree, but didn't pass the bar! And yet she calls herself a lawyer!!! She shouldn't do that. Russell Vought has a law degree, didn't pass the bar, and has done much worse than Zacharia. But he doesn't call himself a lawyer, so it gets less criticism.

the press (derogatory) refuses to call this man an authoritarian

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Trump: "I didn't go to Congress. Remember Sleepy Joe? 'Oh, if they would give me approval in Congress!' You're not gonna get approval. You just do it. You're the president."

“…and if he finds a way to run again, he’ll have my vote.”

Headquarters@headquartersnews.bsky.social

Joe Rogan: What Trump stood for, some of it turned out to not be real. Like 'no wars.' We're at a war with Iran, so that wasn't real. It's nuts to just give someone a $50,000 ICE signing bonus, you train them for seven weeks, and you have a militarized force running through the fucking city streets

there are several avenues for going after Elon Musk under the next Dem trifecta. he is practically begging to be thrown out of the country. so do it.

Ron Filipkowski@ronfilipkowski.bsky.social

Trump and Musk are doing everything they can to try and force Ukraine to surrender to Putin while Musk spends over $300 million to try and buy the midterm elections to maintain total power. The American government under Republicans are on the side of evil. Vote them out.

I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.

wrote on saturday that trump was not going to let democrats avoid the question of impeachment and here we are with an offense that would have had a president impeached, removed and *at least* exiled if it had happened at any point prior to now.

they are so so stupid. they are evil too. but they are stupid above all else. every day, once radical ideas like abolishing DHS become more reasonable to normal people, and its entirely their own fault.

Marisa Kabas@marisakabas.bsky.social

why the fuck was a DHS agency doing the search

TX Senate is the entire ballgame. That’s the soul of the GOP right there. This entire “scandal” is the panic.
