Everyone knows Trump will not handle the real business of running the nation. It's boring to him. So we will have to endure four years of performative and most likely harmful nonsense while he and his billionaire buddies line their pockets with our money. Will the media and congress EVER wake up?

When the President has this much free time, this many grievances, and this little impulse control, we’re in much bigger trouble than Bill Maher.

Musk says, "Live by the sword, die by the sword" to congressional Democrats & tech critics preparing to investigate his government ties & federal contracts for Starlink, after it emerged that he had secretly throttled access in Ukraine. Still thinks he's above the law. #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

This is literally the end of the rule of law. If a President can pardon people committing crimes on his behalf - and the Supreme Court says he himself can't be prosecuted for crimes committed as part of his job - then the government becomes a lawless entity able to violate our rights without limit.

NEW: Trump’s DOJ asked a judge to immediately block California from counting ballots from 20,000 alleged noncitizens after it took the unusual step of appealing its lawsuit before the lower court had a chance to rule. The request is the DOJ’s latest escalation in its ongoing battle in California.

We need to make the Democratic consultant class famous so that their names are a warning label.

Just as a private equity firm buys out a corporation and strips it for parts, a consultant class is raiding the Democratic Party and getting “generationally wealthy” along the way New from me and @adambonica.bsky.social newrepublic.com/article/2163...

The looting of the country by Donald Trump, Jared Kushner, the Trump sons, and their orbit of aides and friends is directly tied to *your* inability to afford housing, health care, child care, and more. It's their illegal wealth versus our ability to live.

Oh, great. More new bullshit to tackle

Russia was focused “in a bipartisan way” on trying to harm American politicians who had been supportive of Ukraine. The video targeting Talarico appeared as Steve Witkoff visited Moscow as pressing for an end to the war in Ukraine and, more broadly, tensions between the US and Russia.

Allowing one unelected man to have control over crucial aspects of the US military, allied militaries, the US space program, and so many other aspects of human life is absolutely insane. We were stupid to allow this to happen and it must be fixed ASAP.

Let's be very clear. The American fascists are not in Moscow to sell out Ukraine, they are there to sell out the whole of Europe.

Ah, the old 'London has fallen' racist bollocks from people who have never been here. London, older than most nations, has ALWAYS had Immigrants in it. It's what great cities do. #Racism #London #Whiteness #Immigration

The BC conservative claimed he is “truly sorry” but rejected NDP claims that his posts were racist. He had also shared a meme suggesting Pakistani immigrants have turned London into a “s—-hole.” Joachim Agou also posted a selfie denying genocide. #bcpoli #cdnpoli

I would love to see most members of the G20 boycott the meeting at Trump's Doral property in December. He invited Putin without asking anyone. DON’T COME.

Why is our president siding with the most evil authoritarian on the planet? Why not the democracy we pledged years ago to support? I think we all know.

Russia has hit Kyiv, Ukraine, with at least 6 ballistic missiles within the last 30 minutes, targeting 3 million civilians and infrastructure, after meeting with Trump's lapdog Witkoff, who praised Putin as a humanitarian and saluted him on behalf of the rogue United States.
