New idea: Republicans move towards “Democracy”…

Robert Reich@rbreich.bsky.social

Some corporate Democrats and pundits think the party has gone too far "left" and needs to readjust towards the “center.” Rubbish. Where’s the center between democracy and oligarchy, and why would Democrats want to be there?

This makes Gaetz the GOP frontrunner for Florida Senate next time around.

NEW Miami Herald: Two women have filed a federal civil lawsuit accusing Matt Gaetz and two others of participating in an alleged sex trafficking scheme involving young women, drugs and traveling across state lines. www.miamiherald.com/news/politic...

Again. This is ABSOLUTELY an impeachable offense. Impeach and remove.

Trump continues to disperse disaster recovery funds based on how states vote, which for any other president or public official, in any other time, in any other country, in any other context would be a morally horrific scandal that would dominate headlines for months.

Members of Congress, Judges, potential AG nominees… they all should be held to a HIGHER standard. It appears we have opted for NO standard beyond “he’s Trumps guy” Sickening.

Go ahead… put up a poll… Is your car insurance cheaper this year ? Yes or no?

David Corn@davidcorn.bsky.social

According to Insurify data, this is not at all true. Why is it okay for the president's cheif economic adviser to make shit up?

Sadly, we have a history of this. After the Civil War, we did… nothing. The Confederacy leaders suffered no consequences. Hell, we built statues and named Military Bases after them. Can you imagine the Hermann Göring International Airport in Germany ? I think not.

This is what it looks like when you allow a deranged criminal back into the White House instead of putting him in jail for treason. Makes me sick every day.

How can this guy get any words out while gargling Trump’s package ?

Sen. Tuberville: "I trust President Trump. I trust Vice President Vance. We don't need to listen to anybody up here on Capitol Hill. Let's trust these two."

But… but… what about those poor fossil fuel executives that won’t be able to gouge and pollute ? Who is looking out for THEM ?

Hegseth would have shit his pants on the landing craft. These wanna be tough guys know nothing of real bravery, and sacrifice for the common good. They want to only destroy what was accomplished in that unbelievable war of sacrifice. Hegseth should be ashamed to even utter a word on DDay.

Hegseth uses his D-Day anniversary speech in Franch to take veiled shots at NATO and European immigration policies

So, I was thinking… I was in NYC the last couple of days. Got a last glimpse of the Late Show Ed Sullivan Theatre. Ran into THOUSANDS of people from who knows where, but moreover, who CARES where? Everyone is just trying to live their life. How are we so divided ? Then it hit me. …1/4

3/4 This NEVER happens. Successful shows are celebrated. Great food is enjoyed. People just want to live their lives. Innovation and education are to be sought, instead of vilified as “woke” What the fuck is wrong with empathy, kindness, respecting others? That’s not woke, that’s being a good …

2/4…It’s the fucking internet. Why would anybody walk up to a halal food cart and swear at the guy serving some ridiculously good food ? Why would a Network cancel an obviously successful Late Show ? What in the name of Walter Cronkite is happening here ? It’s the fucking internet. Pre-Internet …

It’s not a conflict of interest. It’s not corruption. It’s not “unprecedented” It’s not “not normal” It’s not grifting. It’s not ANYTHING…. Unless SOMEONE in a position of power prosecutes it. Unless the American people don’t stand for it. Until then, it’s just business as usual.

“Elect me and I will make you all rich” Promises kept, I guess.

A gallon of gas is now 50% more expensive than when Trump started his Iran War. In the war's first month, the 100 biggest oil and gas companies brought in an extra $30 million per HOUR in windfall profits. Trump's Big Oil donors come out on top while the world suffers.

It comes down to this… The Judge, the accusers, 25 or so that we know about, the 30,000 plus mentions in the Epstein Files… EVERYONE and EVERYTHING there is LYING. Or… Trump is.

Trump says ‘I’m not a rapist, I didn’t rape anybody’ and Norah O’Donnell doesn’t mention the E Jean Carroll case or the jury finding him liable for sexual abuse or the judge saying it could be said Trump did ‘rape’ her in the ‘commonly’ understood sense: www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Unilateral disarmament. Dumb.

Maryland Democrats have rejected an effort to redraw the state's congressional map to boost their party's chances in the midterm elections, a setback for Gov. Wes Moore who put his clout behind the attempt to blunt President Trump's own redistricting campaign. https://to.pbs.org/4tm8qmP

I am celebrating that those 6 Big Macs could be the ones that free us all.

Fox Business on new energy inflation data: "Just month to month, overall energy 10.9% gain, gasoline 21.2% gain" 😳

Gorsuch, Thomas and Alito will be the 3 in the minority. They must be impeached immediately after they make this ruling. Bookmark this, please.

A single vote for Trump in the birthright citizenship case would be as bad as anything the Court has done since Bush v. Gore. This issue has been settled for more than a century. It is the jurisprudential equivalent of asking what 2+2 is. Any answer other than 4, something is deeply, deeply wrong.

For context, Nixon was at 26% the day he resigned. And he had no Fox News propping him up.

Tea Pain@teapainusa.bsky.social

Two straight polls have put Trump at a 33% approval rating. 10 bucks says he's in the upper 20s by June.

If someone could wake Chuck up, that would be swell.

Dems need to seize the narrative. They need to declare a culture war and win it. “Immigration MADE America. If you hate immigrants, you hate America.”
