Gaslighting 101: The AG is literally calling us crazy for thinking Trump will use the levers of government power to overturn the results of an election, when he has a documented history of doing just that. That’s tyranny.

BASH: The worry is that we end up in a situation where President Trump tries to overturn the election and the result of that could be like what we saw after January 6-- BLANCHE: Stop it! You gotta stop it with that! That's crazy BASH: This is a president who has a history

Just a periodic, friendly reminder that we could actually avoid all this by not caring who’s attracted to, who’s having sex with who, who’s marrying who, let alone believing any of it should matter in public policy. We could just all mind our own business and all have rights. ✨

WRIGHT: The president is putting pressure on that's a step forward for peace in the Russia-Ukraine war BASH: So now the US stance is to pressure Ukraine, not Russia? W: Oh, this is pressuring Russia. Russia doesn't have diesel to export. The only way they can get it is to turn down the conflict

I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.

If Trump just takes money appropriated by Congress for a specific purpose & seizes it to use it for an entirely different purpose, what is the point of having a Congress or appropriating money for anything? I’m sure the Senate Appropriations Chair Susan Collins must be concerned.

Republican Ken Paxton voters, We already know you have no problem voting for corrupt, immoral hypocrites & scumbags who only care about acquiring power to enrich themselves and make your life worse and don’t give a shit about you & laugh at you. So you don’t have to remind us.

Please stop overestimating what a democratic Congress can do. The oligarchs are spending money to make you think a Dem Congress can arrest people and hold trials and pass laws without a POTUS signature so that you’ll be disappointed when they don’t do stuff they can’t do. Don’t fall for it.

6 weeks from the election & suddenly Republicans pretend to care more about their constituents than cultish obedience to Trump. But 5 minutes after the election they’ll be right back selling you out so they can get a signed hat in the Oval Office or a dinner invite to Mar-a-Lago.

Venezuelan oil is unusable sludge. The Greenland deal is NOT new. The Strait of Hormuz is CLOSED. Belarus says they've no potash to sell. China isn't buying soybeans they said they would. Saudi Arabia is under attack, Trump sitting it out. He is a distrusted deceitful disaster, despised globally.

It’s not just weird; it’s delusional. HE. IS. PSYCHOTIC. If your grandpa said things like this, you’d take him in for a full neuropsychiatric workup. And it’s time the media starts interviewing psychiatrists and psychologists to talk about it. DO. YOUR. JOBS.

If this is actually something being considered, seems weird to broadcast to the world where they can find a stash of weapons to target in DC. This is obviously some bizarre effort to wrap this arch idea into national defense

Yeah the economy sucks, our national debt is out of control, prices & interest rates keep going up, the world hates us, & Hegseth’s spending our money like he’s a 19 year old on shore leave after a long deployment, but Melania is planning an awesome State Dinner & will post pics.

No, not irreversible. But it will almost certainly take more than one Democratic term to fix. Which is why I’ve been so insistent that folks stop the goddamn purity tests and vote responsibly in November. We aren’t looking for perfect candidates. We’re looking for better than Republicans.

Dear America Voter, This is what the Trump admin is focused on today, when they aren’t insider trading, making everything more expensive, selling pardons, and taking bribes from cronies. Vote out all Republican enablers of this corrupt and pathetic regime.

One of the things I hate the most about tariffs is that we knew they were illegal, and when the court finally decided they were illegal, they forced Trump to refund the tariffs. But the refunds went to the corporations, and not the people the corporations raised prices on. What a scam.

"America and the rest of the world are now witnessing a public exhibition of narcissistic rage. Trump embarked on a war for personal glory, and what he got instead was ongoing humiliation. He clearly finds it all unbearable." I confess that I'm finding it rather unbearable, as well.

Senate Republicans are getting swamped with voter complaints about Donald Trump’s interminable war on Iran less than 100 days out from November’s midterms.

If you wanted to fly Donald Trump out on a different plane without advanced warning to protect him, that would be one thing. But to put others on what you believed to be a targeted plane served only one purpose: To propagate and maintain a lie to assuage a single man’s ego.

AI data centers don't create jobs. They kill jobs. And if you want to beat China, try green energy. That's where the future is. These people are so stupid.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

EMMER: Our enemy -- China -- is trying to stop us from beating them in the AI war by frustrating our ability to build data centers BARTIROMO: Yeah. It is an industrial revolution part 2 with the amount of jobs and build out from these data centers, and it's certainly helping the economy as well

If you’re raising money to keep money in politics, I don’t consider you a Democrat. Get out of the party.

Robert Reich@rbreich.bsky.social

The most powerful rising force in American politics today is anti-establishment fury at a rigged economic system. Corporate Democrats refuse to see how big money has corrupted America. They — and their billionaire donors — are some of the biggest enablers of Trump's neo-fascism.

It's strange. No photos of Mitch McConnell leaving the rehab center. None of him arriving at the departure airport. None of him at the arrival airport. None of him arriving at his Kentucky home. None whatsoever. Just a statement and reporters giving a quick salute.

When I lived in UT I tried to get the CEO to promote my very talented Mormon Assistant (who was fighting with fertility issues) into a professional track. He said, "Oh, she just wants to have babies" and dismissed the idea. Maybe that has something to do with why young women leave? 🤔 [fixed]

More than half of young adult women who grew up as Latter-day Saints have now left the church. Many are reacting against politics, purity culture and powerlessness.

Fox correspondent: "President Trump tells Fox News about Iran, 'We are going to beat the f**king s**t out of them.' He went on to say, 'We'll be hitting them hard. They're going to get a beating.'"

Steve Jacoby reposted

Truly absurd headline. And most importantly, grossly factually inaccurate. Beyond any reasonable doubt, Trump is a sociopath; he does not grieve, nor is he capable of grief. Even if journalists are too timid to report that truth, they should not report the contrary as truth.

If this is true, the lesson should be not be to declare victory (ok, take one minute to enjoy the victory), but to redouble pressure on the whole indecent mass deportation regime
