Fascists lose in Brazil, Serbia, and Hungary. Rising protests in Albania, France, and other European countries against billionaires and corruption. Very encouraging...

They voted to shut it down bc he couldn’t keep his name on the building, financial malpractice, and artists pulled out. He destroys what he can’t have. Tell the fucking truth media.

I love this. Senate candidate Annie Andrews says she decided to jump into the race the day RFK Jr was nominated to lead HHS. She’s a pediatrician. Saw what was coming & decided she couldn’t sit on the sidelines. THIS is what I’m talking about. Feeling called to serve & actually following through.

Journalists: please, please get ready for this in ADVANCE. We know Trump's going to claim "new evidence shows the 2020 election was stolen". You've got 3 days to write a story that confronts that lie head-on before he says it - pre-write this like an obit. America is begging you: plan ahead. 1/

We have a new message for Democrats: attack attack attack. Trump is corrupt, he’s butchered the economy, and his DOJ operates like mob lawyers. And every voter knows it. So stop looking backward. Stop with the endless focus groups. This isn't complicated. He’s weak. Finish him.

Buttigieg: We sit in a in a country that's got the wrong number of people on the Supreme Court, possibly the wrong number of representatives in the House of Representatives. And by the way, when you consider the disenfranchisement of the people of DC, we have the wrong number of states in the US

So Trump is talking about dropping the federal gas tax. A heroic cutting of gas prices. That’s 18.4 cents. And it will mean billions lost to the Highway Trust Fund that roads depend on. Another genius move from his reckless war adventure that will succeed in making life worse.

Dems running for Congress and POTUS must run on Supreme Court reform. A law forcing justices into senior status after 18 years, applicable to the current bench would do the trick. That would force Roberts, Alito, and Thomas into senior status, opening three seats to be filled immediately. 1/

Lot of people on the right crying about the Virginia redistricting vote. We told you this would happen while you were celebrating the illegal off-cycle seat grab in Texas. Stop playing stupid games if you don’t want to win stupid prizes.

Dave Wild reposted

Remember, Democrats have repeatedly advanced measures to ban partisan gerrymandering and Republicans have voted against them time after time. This is the game Republicans wanted to play. OK, then.

ryan cooper@ryanlcooper.com

sucks that it’s come to this, but if congressional Republicans wanted to put up a national gerrymandering ban or multi member districts etc, it would pass *for sure*. until then fight fire with fire

We are spending billions to keep our entire navy in the Strait to fecklessly fail to open a waterway that wasn’t closed until Trump’s pointless war of choice closed it. He’s just burning your tax money.

Dave Wild reposted

Congrats on “opening” a strait that was open six weeks ago, and all it cost was at least 13 dead service members, thousands of dead Iranian civilians, tens of billions in taxpayer dollars, our loss in global standing, and the Iranian regime’s increase in power. Phenomenal work.

Clarence Thomas ruled in favor of Citizens United. Harlan Crow's political contributions then went up 862%. Then we later find out Thomas let Crow take him on lavish trips, buy his mom's house, and help fund his wife's conservative nonprofit. But go on about how "progressivism" is a problem...

Former TIME editor Richard Stengel: “He is repeating every foreign and domestic policy mistake the US has made over the last 5 decades, but he’s doing it with a gracelessness, cluelessness, and corruption that has no precedent.”

Donald Trump bragged about grabbing women by the pussy. He was credibly accused of sexual assault by 20+ women. He is alleged to have raped at least one child. He was found liable of sexual abuse. And Republicans made him president. Twice. They don’t get to pearl clutch now.

Dave Wild reposted

I want Democrats out there scaring the shit out of Americans about how insane and dangerous Trump is. I want them to say nonstop that they need to remove him from office and challenge Republicans to join them unless they don't love their country. Make it patriotic to want to get rid of Trump.

Dave Wild reposted

The same geniuses who think Trump, who dodged the draft five times, knows how to win a war also think Trump, who declared bankruptcy six times, knows how to run the economy. That's what Trump Derangement Syndrome actually looks like.

Dave Wild reposted

Regardless of whether it’s all talk, when the leader of our country expresses plainly genocidal intent, everyone has to do something. For citizens of all political stripes, it means rejecting this madness. For Congress, it means taking action to rein him in. Now.

Dave Wild reposted

25th amendment. Impeachment. I will support any avenue to remove Donald Trump from office. We cannot leave this man in charge of America’s nuclear weapons as he threatens to end an entire civilization. And Congress must not fund this reckless administration.

Dave Wild reposted

It would only have taken a handful of Republicans in Congress to have stopped this train wreck long ago. Not one stood up. Not one.

This is the lead in a news story in a major American newspaper: “President Trump threatened to wipe out the entirety of Iranian civilization if Tehran doesn’t cede to his demands by 8 p.m. Tuesday.” www.wsj.com/livecoverage...

Dave Wild reposted

Whatever happens, this is a deeply shameful episode in American history that will leave a permanent stain on the country. Repeatedly vowing to commit war crimes against millions of innocent civilians is beyond the pale.

Dave Wild reposted

Dear Humans, If a Dem candidate for 2028 is not running first on EXACTING SWIFT AND WONDERFUL JUSTICE on the war criminals in this administration, then you must join with me in throwing that candidate into the lake of fire. Thanks, God

Trump is full of firsts, and today is a doozy! The first president to praise Allah on Easter Sunday! I'm living for this religious whiplash. At this rate, tomorrow he'll be sacrificing a goat to honor the founding fathers. What's next, darling? #Trump

Dave Wild reposted

There's a bigger story here, too, that I don't think I've seen explicitly articulated. The US has never really been in a position where it has to make significant concessions from a position of weakness, rather than exhaustion, to secure a peace treaty. That creates two interrelated problems. 1/x

Judah Grunstein@judah-grunstein.bsky.social

Great article by Ali Vaez. Gift link. In essence, Trump is now in the same position as Putin: able to cause massive damage, but unable to make the enemy give in. He will have to make a deal, and the bitter irony is that, for all his origin story, Trump is incapable of really making a deal.

Dave Wild reposted

He started a war with no reason and no plan, sending the world into a crisis solely of his own creation, and now he's angrily bitching that other countries need to clean up his mess.
