I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.
When a government starts targeting former intelligence officials, law enforcement leaders, and anyone who once investigated or criticized those in power, it’s not just a red flag, it’s a page straight from the authoritarian playbook.
President Bystander strikes again: Trump too often sounds like a guy who just wandered into the White House, offering shrugged shoulders and blank stares in response to basic questions. www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...
With the help of four Democrats, House Republicans just voted to pass H.R. 22 — one of the biggest threats to voting rights that we’ve seen in a generation. If you’re represented by Reps. Case (HI-01), Cuellar (TX-28), Gluesenkamp Perez (WA-03), or Golden (ME-02), they need to hear from you today.
Everything Trump does makes sense if you just remember he is a Russian asset.
Why does he want to invade Greenland?
Because Greenland is part of Denmark which is a NATO country and an invasion by the U.S. would break the NATO alliance which has kept Russia at bay for 75 years.
"IRS Predicts DOGE Lost Half a Trillion Dollars for the USA"
"in about eight weeks DOGE managed to lose the U.S. government — more or less light on fire — more than half of what goes to all non-defense discretionary spending..."

The House just voted that “each day for the remainder of the 119th Congress shall not constitute a calendar day for purposes of section 202 of the National Emergencies Act.” A day is not a day. Lewis Carroll, George Orwell, and Franz Kafka must all be chuckling — or weeping.
It’s surreal that I have to go to a foreign leader to hear someone describe the full derangement and malignancy of my own president in plain language, because our own “free press” and opposition leaders won’t do it. Bravo Trudeau
Trudeau: "He talked about banking again today in a tweet, which doesn't make any sense because 16 banks are currently active in Canada holding about $113b worth of assets in this country... what he wants is to see a total collapse of the Canadian economy, because that'll make it easier to annex us."
Republicans have spent decades lecturing about “personal freedom,” acting as if giving people health care is somehow “socialism,”—only to surrender every sacred American value our country has fought for for the past 80 years, to Putin because their dumb little cult leader owes him money.
HEY EVERYONE REMEMBER WHEN TRUMP WAS IMPEACHED FOR DENYING AID TO UKRAINE BECAUSE HE WANTED ZELENSKY TO LIE AND SAY BAD THINGS ABOUT BIDEN AND ZELENKSY WOULDN’T DO IT?
Maybe literally one fucking American newspapers could mention this in their, “think pieces,” about what happened yesterday.
“You see the hatred [Zelenskyy’s] got for Putin. It’s very tough for me to make a deal with that kind of hate. He’s got tremendous hatred. And I understand that, but I can tell you that the other side isn’t exactly in love with him either.” - Donald Trump
The new “very fine people on both sides.”
When the FBI searched Jan. 6 defendant Jeremy Brown's home, they discovered illegal grenades, a sawed-off shotgun and classified information he retained after leaving the army.
Today, DOJ says Donald Trump's pardon for J6 issues covers all of that.
"One of the great tragedies of mankind is that morality has been hijacked by religion. So now people assume that religion and morality have a necessary connection. But the basis of morality is really very simple and doesn't require religion at all."
Arthur C. Clarke
Let’s face it: aside from the money, Trump’s principal fascination with Musk is the fact that he got to grow up and live in a country where people of color were required by law to live entirely separate from Caucasians.
We’re supposed to just take Elon’s word that he’s found “massive” fraud in federal systems he took over? The same guy they found committing fraud on his fellow gamers?
Vance:judges have no jurisdiction over “Trumps power”
“The accumulation of all powers, legislative, executive & judiciary, in the same hands, whether of one, a few, or many, whether hereditary, self-appointed, or elected, may justly be pronounced the very definition of tyranny.” -
James Madison
