It’s crazy when the guy who was supposed to be the bipartisan, sensible cabinet member is just another MAGA toady troll.

But why is #MSM only now bring up Rogers’ support of Muslim Brotherhood…after months of the attacks setting in without this context?

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

wow -- a squirming Mike Rogers gets flustered as Kristen Welker points out that while he attacks El-Sayed over the Muslim Brotherhood, *Rogers himself* defended the Muslim Brotherhood during the same period of time that El-Sayed did!

And don’t forget this “$50M lawyer” was handling parking tickets and divorces before Trump plucked her from the trash heap. Only the best people.

OBAMA: "Trump is focused on enriching himself & his family/friends. A Venezuelan billionaire wanted a pardon, so he paid a Trump lawyers $50 million — and lo & behold! The pardon falls out of the sky... We’ve never seen a president straight-up grifting on your dime like this."

It’s imperative that Democrats make sure there are state crimes that can be pursued for these illegal acts. Can’t pardon for state and local crimes.

Matt Novak@paleofuture.bsky.social

I’m sure this has much more to do with the crimes they plan on committing in the next two years than crimes of the past. People will hesitate to follow Trump’s illegal orders if they get the sense they may actually be held accountable.

So if Putin invaded and occupied Alaska, Washington (State…they already occupy DC) and Oregon, that would not be an invasion of the US according to Marco. Every day he shows his weak and pathetic character.

Mick Ryan@warinthefuture.bsky.social

Wrong. Oh so wrong, Marco!

How much do you wanna bet Trump, his family and other cronies are shareholders in this offshore company.

Adam Kinzinger@adamkinzinger.substack.com

Trump’s oil deal with Venezuela was negotiated in secret. Now we know why. The contract just leaked, and it doesn’t say what Trump says it says. open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

Tax religious institutions and no public funds for religious schools or home schooled kids. It’s all a scam to promote close-minded religious assholes.

Mrs. Betty Bowers@mrsbettybowers.bsky.social

This fake Christian grifter funnels off over $700,000 from just *one* of his many "charities." And he pays no taxes--because he's a "Christian" who doesn't delve into politics. TAX THE CHURCHES.

I’m sorry, does anyone care what she thinks? Trump sure didn’t and he booted her once he was done with her. She should go back to her cult and obscurity and ride out her days in total shame.

Mrs. Betty Bowers@mrsbettybowers.bsky.social

This is such a stupid thing to say. Because if it were true, we wouldn't need a Constitution and Bill of Rights written by humans. And every country would have had the same Constitution and Bill of Rights from the beginning of time.

Well, the history of people greeting Vance is they die shortly thereafter. Also, sports teams greeting Trump all lose. Why would Burrow and team risk losing Sunday? Ohio, remember who is on your side…vote Blue!

Oh no, now Republicans want the NFL to fine the Bengals for ignoring JD. They are the whiniest little snowflakes I swear

I recall in Trump 1.0 that deductions for charitable giving were slashed in the tax bill. It was a confession that the 1% care little for charitable giving and would prefer to discourage giving. To think Bezos, Musk, Zuck, etc. will ever fund the greater good is delusional. They’d rather fund PACs.

Steven Beschloss@stevenbeschloss.bsky.social

I think the billionaire class should start using its wealth for luxury items they’ve heretofore been convinced are too expensive—things like healthcare for all, equal education and ending poverty.

The fact that”she doesn’t know why” is a shining example of the vapid pay for clicks world of the influencer. She’s a woman and she’s black. Either quality is disqualifying for MAGAts, being both is grounds for a hangin’.

MeidasTouch@meidastouch.com

NEW: A Black MAGA influencer who spent years promoting Trump and Republicans says she was KICKED OUT of a Ken Paxton rally at the request of his campaign manager. The visibly upset creator, who has over 200,000 TikTok followers, says she drove two hours to attend and has no idea why she was removed

Trump 1.0 got a pass due to Covid and the MSM played along. The reality is you can’t say “yeah, but COVID…” being President means owning the facts on ground and adjusting. MAGAts don’t care cuz they’re ideologues bent on tearing down post-war liberal democracy worldwide.

The Bulwark@thebulwark.com

"While the Democratic political class was outraged by Trump’s corruption...the harsh reality was that voters didn’t really care." That was 2018. Dems are betting it's different now. The latest edition of The Opposition from Lauren Egan:

Brazilian courts have ruled against Meta for skewing the algorithm against Lula. Other countries must follow and include ALL social media companies. These companies don’t promote free speech. They simply sew division for the financial benefit of their corporate owners.

Ricky Davila@therickydavila.bsky.social

To be clear, evil billionaire scumbag Zuckerberg shutting down the official No Kings account in the middle of nationwide protests isn’t a mistake, it’s an assault on a free speech and expression, it’s pure fascism.

Agree, but Ty was happy to gain notoriety and 💰💰💰 by repping Trump 1.0 in impeachment. He was same then and now. They all deserve grace to acknowledge reality but they all will forever be known as craven opportunists, racists and/or grifters.

Have these all been no bid contracts? But Hunter…Burisma….

“.. defense companies backed by the president's sons, including Anduril, have now raked in more than $6 billion dollars in active or promised government contracts since those investments were made, according to the government's official contract reporting. abcnews.com/Politics/tru...

And if people don’t finally understand that the unchecked proliferation of right wing lies on the Internet isn’t behind this global shift, we’re all doomed. Social media companies must be treated as publishers and subject to liability for the shit they put out there and push via their algorithms.

Nicholas Grossman@nicholasgrossman.bsky.social

Americans picked Trump II, and their biggest objection is high prices. Hungary chose Orban, and their eventual big objection was corruption. Erdogan and Modi won multiple terms. Brazilians about to go Bolsonaro again. Not always free and fair, but yeah, millions want it. Wouldn’t work otherwise.

She embodies the MAGA party…she’s paid to sell out women, Texans and her soul.

Angela Paxton is asking Texans to stand by a man for six long years when she won’t even do it for one more day. Estranged from and divorcing Ken, won’t even say his name, and not good enough for her, but she claims he is perfect for Texans. Angie needs to lead by example.

Data supports those ads worked in the presidential in ‘24. They were absurd and disgusting but they motivated his resist transphobic base. Run through the tape…confirm your voting status and polling place and VOTE!

Kevin M. Kruse@kevinmkruse.bsky.social

They're really flooding football games with these ads, but it feels like the only result is making low-information voters realize how obsessed Republicans are with people's privates

I remember when GOP and FOX debated whether Obama bowed his head slightly. This, of course, is fine. Everything in fine.

Ron Filipkowski@ronfilipkowski.bsky.social

Our military on their hands and knees wiping off the red carpet for the Chinese. A perfect metaphor for where we are with Trump. bsky.app/profile/acyn...

So will #CNN and #NBC continue to interview Republicans and other MAGAts. The answer should be “No” and they should be exclusively interviewing Democrats and victims of MAGAt policies 24/7. No more Scot Jennings or other propagandists. And ABC and NBC (CBS and FOX are hopeless) should follow.

Ron Filipkowski@ronfilipkowski.bsky.social

What would Fox shows look like over the following several weeks and months if a Democratic president banned them from the WH because their coverage was biased? Is there anything else they would talk about?
