Throwing people against concrete walls to see if anything sticks.

Kristi Noem: "When it gets to Election Day, we've been proactive to make sure we have the right people voting, electing the right leaders to lead this country."

Donald Trump, the most gettin-away-with-it motherfucker of our time.

I am having a hard time reconciling "Charlie Kirk was a fierce advocate of open dialogue and free expression" with "we must identify and persecute everyone who is insufficiently mournful"

First, the fascist said he will deport undocumented immigrants with a criminal record but he is deporting all undocumented immigrants. Now his regime is saying they will deport naturalized citizens with a criminal record but they will deport us all - 24.5 million of us!

Every DOGE story feels like reading the news through a kaleidoscope. How did a fake office just formed a few months ago waltz into every corner of government in a few months? Is simply being willing to yell “give me access!” a super power?

They are literally just scouring the federal government for anything worthwhile, then killing it www.politico.com/news/2025/04...

UNREAL. ICE implies in a sworn declaration that MOST of the Venezuelans sentenced to hard labor in a brutal Central American prison without charge or trial or so much as a cursory hearing had never been convicted or even charged with ANY CRIME whatsoever, not even a trivial one, anywhere, ever!

The fact that we have no evidence against you is further evidence of your guilt.

Is there a single fucking Republican in America with any morals left willing to stiffen their spine and speak out against what happened today?

Again, the richest man in human history personally individually directed this

@preetbharara.bsky.social #AskPreet In the Eric Adams case, prosecutors seem to have said plainly that they want to drop the case so they can use Adams for political reasons. Isn't that an admission of 'crookedness,' comparable to saying they took a bribe, and aren't there consequences for that?

Just look at these paragraphs from the AP story. Hegseth called Brown unqualified solely because he's Black. Then they fired him... and replaced him with a white guy so indisputably unqualified that he requires a Presidential waiver. This is what "merit" means to them. apnews.com/article/trum...

Setting up a personalist regime in which everyone is forced to beg for favors from the leader (to get federal funds, an exemption from tariffs, or an agreement not to be prosecuted)

Exhibit #5,000,000 that none of this has anything to do with efficiency. It's just incredibly basic white Christofascism. Anti-science, anti-life. Profoundly sadistic. The people who claim they are going to protect your money would spend any amount of money to cause you even a little more pain.

The idea that the harm will only come to other people is such an under-appreciated part of how we got here.

What these nihilistic vandals are doing to dismantle science & medicine—generations of expertise & public service & life improving benefits—is cultural revolution level national self harm. No foreign foe could inflict such brutal damage & senseless suffering on US so fast & effectively & unresisted.

In addition to being civic degenerates these people are in every case infantile, sloppy and incompetent. Grand flourishes of performative cruelty followed by entitled pleas of "I don't know how to do this. Can you help?"

Has anyone pointed out that #GulfOfAmerica <> “Gulf of the United States of America”? Colloquially, “America” can be shorthand for the USA, but politically and geographically, the closest synonym to just “America” is “the Americas.”

This is a backdoor. Elon's coders are creating a backdoor into the US Treasury. This is incredibly dangerous both because of its intended use (by Elon and Trump) and the risk of other actors exploiting a major security vulnerability to cause a massive disruption to the US government.

The Republican Congress has surrendered. They are no longer a functioning co-equal branch of government. Democrats need to do everything to not cooperate. Use your position to slow their fascist takeover. The time of “bipartisanship” and “finding common ground” is over. Now it’s time to fight.

Amazing that Republican congressmen are willing to give up their power to Elon Musk. Their constituents are going to learn too late that they have no representation

So naturally, you know what to do…👇 Enjoy. 😎✨

I am begging every Democratic committee, PAC, and candidate to get control of your damn email program right now and stop sending tone deaf fundraising emails that have nothing to do with what's happening. Stop listening to focus groups from a month ago. Stop the 2 approved talking points.

JFK on why he founded USAID. “The economic collapse of those free but less-developed nations which now stand poised between sustained growth and economic chaos would be disastrous to our national security, harmful to our comparative prosperity and offensive to our conscience”.

Just spitballing, but things that could happen today: *Court injunction protecting USAID *Dems demand hearings on Musk's role *Someone introduce articles of impeachment *Dem officeholders go to USAID offices with USAID workers *Refuse to conduct any more Senate confirmations until this is resolved

Some people voted for trump. Some people voted for Kamala. Some people voted 3rd party. But I guarantee you that NOBODY voted for a fucking billionaire to be raiding our Social Security. What the fuck is THIS bullshit?

Go. To. The. Treasury. And. Demand. Entry. You are the ranking member on the Senate Finance Committee.

There is impotent anger and there’s quiet effectiveness, but they aren’t binary. If Schumer and Jeffries went to the mics to explain the crisis and said “no democratic votes for budget items until the lawlessness ends” it would be cathartic and cause an earthquake.

@padilla.senate.gov

@nbcnews.com What could be done from your end to make this happen?

Yes @aoc.bsky.social Please rally your colleagues and get this started, and be sure to include the outlets that were evicted from the White House press room. Strong media engagement is a multiplier.

The most surreal and maddening feature of the campaign was that everyone agreed that high prices were the main issue but the guy explicitly, consistently running on a platform of raising everyone’s prices won voters most concerned about high prices. We hammered this time and time again and yet.

Does data theft by USG or X employees call into question the EU-US Data Privacy Framework? ec.europa.eu/commission/p...

See it's funny, because there probably was a time in U.S. history when an unelected plutocrat gaining illicit access to government systems would have resulted in him being dragged out of whatever government building he was in at the moment by his balls by armed government agents within +/- 3 minutes

@preetbharara.bsky.social #askpreet Are we just plain screwed because more than 1/3 of U.S. senators are too deranged or stupid to understand that the fate of our entire government, *including them*, is being placed in the hands of whatever unelected idiots do Trump the biggest favors?

@padilla.senate.gov If anyone in Congress is doing anything to resist Trump’s assault on democracy, they need to tell the public what they’re doing. And if not, they need to start doing something! (I’m one of yours — Concord, CA.)

@repdesaulnier.bsky.social My rep! Good to see you here.

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.

Now that’s a bribe.
