Let’s skip ahead a few steps to consider what happens next. Two dead ends: First, the lawsuits that are being filed will takes months or years to work their way through the courts (see as precedent the lawsuits against Trump) 1/5

There's something deeply obscene and broken about the fact that Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth are bombing elementary schools in an illegal war of aggression, and there's still a sense among the opposition that it has to be explained in terms of gas prices in order to get American voters to care.

Seems like the media should at least express some curiosity about this. open.substack.com/pub/jonathan...

Kamala Harris at her closing campaign rally: "Donald Trump intends to use the United States Military against American citizens who simply disagree with him."

When I was little, the U.S. military came to our home at gunpoint and took me and my family away. We were imprisoned for years in barbed wire camps simply because we were Japanese American. I have spent my life telling that story, hoping it would never be repeated.

It is not a prison. Prisons are for those who, through due process and the rigors of our legal system, are found to have committed crimes for which they face accountability... johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/call-it-wh...

TikTok is killing us with these 😬

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.

The VA has abruptly ended the only low-interest, affordable loan modification option for thousands of vets who are behind on their mortgages. If you're a vet at risk of foreclosure, we want to hear your story.

@captmarkkelly.bsky.social @gallego.senate.gov Start talking to the house and get this maniac impeached. Use your powers of persuasion. It has got to happen. They should start bring daily articles. He’s a start for deeds that this animal had committed to hurt us. www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/the...

I know everyone on Wall Street has convinced themselves he's not going to push the big red "crash the economy button" but I really don't think he can be clearer about his intentions — the more you insist he's not actually going to do it the more he doubles down!

The provision of the 14th amendment that the Supreme Court unanimously wrote out of the constitution existed for a reason. Its drafters knew what would happen if you allowed insurrectionists back into power.

Seeing comments on the Super Bowl Halftime threads from MAGA types like, “I can’t believe President Trump allowed this to go forward…” and it strikes me with fresh astonishment that these people really do think that the presidency is like a dictatorship, and they want it that way.

it is genuinely incredible that all you have to do is scratch the surface and it becomes clear that each of these guys is a huge piece of shit

I have news for you - we aren’t taking over Gaza. But the media and the chattering class will focus on it for a few days and Trump will have succeeded in distracting everyone from the real story - the billionaires seizing government to steal from regular people.

Concern will be expressed, platitudes about taking the high road will be nodded to, maple logs and coffee will be served.

Their faith lets them worship power while they’re offended by mercy. It’s not Christianity they’re practicing.

As much as I will rely on Bluesky for political news over the next four years, I will rely on it more as a place to connect with others and refocus my attention away from the wall to wall shit show ahead.

Ramalamadingdong has his own version as well.

so if I'm understanding the tech-bro position correctly, it's this

America almost died from food poisoning, and now that she's feeling a little better... she's eating the leftovers.

This is America being great?

Yeah, let’s watch yet another country successfully hold a president (or PM) accountable for his illegal actions….while the US puts our criminal back into office. abcnews.go.com/amp/Internat...

I don’t take credit for this meme, but I do co-sign.

Women Trumpers, You sold out your fellow females for a lying,racist, criminal,misogynistic traitor. I hope you like it when you can no longer vote, when you’re forced to carry a pregnancy even though you’re bleeding to death, or when you’re forced to stay in an abusive marriage. 👏👏 FU #USDemocracy

This is the most-read piece on @theatlantic.com. It should be the most-read piece. You should all read it, even though it may make you sad. Here’s a gift link so you can read it. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

100% accurate.

Hi. It's not normal for a nominee to be Director of the FBI to have his own personal hit list of people he wants to take revenge on using the power of the fed'l govt. Do not confirm.

Biden didn’t erode my faith in democracy and the rule of law one bit. It was eroded when 76 million Americans put a convict back in Whitehouse again and our “law” allows Trump to get away with all of his crimes with no consequences.

Call me crazy, but I think Justin Sun, a Chinese national being prosecuted for fraud by the SEC, sending Trump $18 million should be a bigger story The direct enrichment of Trump by a foreign national weeks before he takes office has merited no coverage in the NYT or Washington Post

When your MAGA uncle wonders why Trump is threatening tariffs and raising the prices of everything, after he repeatedly promised to do the opposite, look him straight in the eye and gently whisper: "It was never about you...and now he doesn't need you anymore"

At some point we have to talk about the obvious: Trump is not forming an administration, but a terrorist regime based on nepotism, criminality and espionage to destroy the United States.

"Christian Reconstructionism is now at the edge of power in the United States, and the attitude of the relevant people towards the female body and indeed towards rape is an essential element of what is happening and what is likely to happen." snyder.substack.com/p/men-and-wo...

I know it’s just symptomatic of a total decline in standards and decency. But GOP congresspeople are demonstrating way more outrage over where a colleague goes to the bathroom than over a colleague sex trafficking teenagers.

It’s so nice here right now, but I can’t relax yet. I’m like a dog that’s gone back to being friendly but his hackles are still a little up.

Truth be told, it does seem kind of silly to have the FBI do background checks on presidential appointees when the president is a convicted criminal and an adjudicated digital rapist.

Release the Gaetz report. Pass it on.

This is what we need to see more of on Capitol Hill right now.
