Images of a young monkey named Punch being bullied by his enclosure-mates, retreating to safety and clinging to a plushie look-alike for comfort won hearts around the world. But finally, Punch is fitting in. https://cnn.it/47JO2TI

Republican Senator Lisa Murkowski says she opposes the Trump-backed SAVE Act: ....“In rural states like Alaska it's gonna disenfranchise an extraordinary majority…”

On the 5th Anniversary of the failed January 6th insurrection attempt, we’re reminded how fragile democracy can be. We must remember the darkness of that day so it’s never repeated. As history is rewritten by some, we choose to speak the truth of what happened.

I love watching the Republican Congress stepping over themselves to support Trump’s attempt to disparage Jack Smith’s indictments of Trump. They stepped right into it.

Think about this, according to the Supreme Court, Trump is immune from. any criminal or treasonous act he commits while in office including dismantling the Constitution. The only option wld be impeachment which will never happen with a Republican Congress. We’re screwed!

If all the do nothing Congressmen were not paid a dime during a government shutdown, this whole thing would be over in a minute.

So Ghislaine Maxwell a convicted sex trafficker looking for a pardon from a convicted felon has stated that the felon who can pardon her was a paragon of virtue whenever he was around her and the other accused pedophile who supposedly hung himself before trial. You can’t make this shit up!

Trump’s proposed Executive Order to do away with mail-in ballots is another attempt by him to suppress the vote and destroy our democracy. He uses “doublespeak” a la Orwell’s “1984”. Don’t fall for it.

Trump announced he wants to get rid of mail in ballots with no proof of any fraud. A clear sign he wants to eliminate as many votes as possible in his attempt to destroy our democracy.

Anyone who is a student of history a la Chamberlain and Hitler circa 1938 knows exactly what will happen here. The future of a free and independent Ukraine and for Europe hangs in the balance. The only power strong enough to change world events is being run by an isolationist narcissist.

When someone asks what parenting be like… 😂🤣 🐵 🥰

I’ll never understand the extreme gullibility of Americans who become influenced by relatively uneducated influencers like Joe Rogan who actually helped get someone like Trump elected. Dangerous shit.

The continuing maga conspiracy (Epstein) which like all conspiracy theories, has a life of its own, is now blowing up in their faces and Trump is suddenly seeing this as a threat to him. So if you want Trump out keep it alive!!

I think our forefathers were well aware how hard it would be to push back on the desire of a king to force his will on the masses. I just hope we inheritors of their protections of our freedoms from someone like TACO will prevail.

I will be attending a “No Kings” rally tomorrow in Mt. Kisco. No fascism for me.

If anybody has any doubts that we are on the brink of becoming a fascist state look at what’s going on in LA.

By the way a military parade when we’re not celebrating a war victory is something a dude who never served would do.

The cornerstone of our democracy enshrined in the Constitution is an independent judiciary and an independent bar willing to tackle unpopular cases. The courts have just struck down Trump’s attempt to destroy that right. Finally Some good news!

So how is everybody doing so far under our new king, er, I mean President?

Trump’s acceptance of the Qatari plane is a blatant violation of the Emoluments Clause of the Constitution. But since the Supreme Court essentially gave him blanket immunity and since he owns Congress, welcome to the first US dictatorship.

If we believe that we are a country of immigrants who come here to flee from persecution and hunger how do we put a number on that ? That’s the debate the people through Congress not one man should be making.

Apparently a lot of people have embraced the authoritarian view that the Constitution and civil rights can be limited based on any political view of what is considered a national emergency and the one person who gets to single handily make that decision is Trump.

Ruminating on the last 100 days of this petty little dictator’s attempt to destroy our democracy, someone said our country is bigger than him and we will survive. I have always been an optimist. Yet…

So now, let’s see.The Supreme Court ordered Trump to facilitate the return of Abrego Garcia who was abducted and sent to a foreign prison in violation of his civil rights and Trump just said I don’t care he ain’t coming back. Constitutional crisis? You bet!

Ok so we have it clear as crystal, Trump has defied the Supreme Court order concerning the mistakenly deported Maryland man but with a smile on his face and denying he is defying them. We are in a dictatorship folks!

I am having a hard time wrapping my head around how fast this madman is dismantling our democracy. Congress and the Judiciary, where are you? I’m afraid it will all be over before the midterms.

Breaking News: The Supreme Court instructed the government to take steps to return a Salvadoran migrant it had wrongly deported to a prison in El Salvador.

Twenty five hours and four minutes!!

Here's the judge's written TRO blocking the targeting of Jenner storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Judge Bates, blocking Trump's order targeting Jenner: "Our legal profession as a whole is watching and wondering whether courtroom activities in the best tradition of lawyering will cause the federal government to turn its unwanted attention to them next."

In case anyone is paying attention, Trump is effectively weaponizing every department of the government to eliminate any public or private businesses, programs, or policies, he perceives as opposed to him and his agenda, all under the guise of protecting our national security.

Just a reminder that we are living in a two dimensional news cycle.MAGA reports the security leak on the Yemen attack as either no big deal or fake news and the rest of us are given the facts. Since Trump is in charge you know where this is going. Congress needs to fight back !

András Schiff, an eminent concert pianist who has boycotted strongman rule in Russia and his native Hungary, said on Wednesday that he would no longer perform in the U.S. because of concerns about President Trump’s “unbelievable bullying” on the world stage.

In case you haven’t heard, we now have only two working branches of government, the Executive which has swallowed up the Legislative branch and the Judicial branch. Let’s hope the Judiciary survives until the midterms or say goodbye to our Republic.

With all of the potentially historic cases coming up in the Supreme Court that involve interpreting the Constitution, it will be immensely entertaining watching how all these strict constructionist conservative Justices will bend their words into pretzels to accommodate their monarch.

In a speech in 1956 Nikita Khrushchev said that Russia would destroy the U.S. from within. We are seeing it happen before our eyes with Trump and Putin as the star players.

On behalf of many Americans, don’t thank us we THANK YOU Ukraine for your work.

If I owned. Ukrainian flag I would be flying it now.😣

Everyone seems to be having trouble figuring out exactly what’s really going on with the Trump administration and musk and the capitulation of Congress and the Judiciary. Simple, listen carefully, it’s called DICTATORSHIP !!!!

If your representative is dodging in-person town halls, call them out! Tag them and demand they face their constituents.

RFK Jr. Vows To Make Measles Deaths So Common They Won’t Be Upsetting Anymore

America is, currently, the bad guys

Well , along with North Korea and Russia, We just killed a UN resolution because it described Russia as the aggressor against Ukraine. What a disgrace. I’m embarrassed for our country. This man is forever changing the face of democracy.

For all you history buffs if you want see what comes of appeasement of Tyrants read about Neville Chamberlain’s giveaway of the Sudetenland to Hitler. Trump and Putin’s carve up of Ukraine makes that look like child’s play. Watch out Europe we no longer have your back.

Imagine being hired to downsize a business and just walking into a company and reducing the overhead by merely laying off enough people not knowing exactly what they do to make up the difference. There goes your business. Thank you art of the deal asshole and rich friend.
