I had high hopes that somehow, we'd survive as a Democracy... Is there NO legal way to stop this guy??? I humbly beseech the Universe to PLEASE do what America seems unable to accomplish: STOP our descent into a remake of 1930s Germany & dictatorship!

I can't really believe it but it seems to be the case that the Times has not covered a credible accusation of rape against the President of the United States, but has two solid stories on Obama's cheesecake factory quip.

Trump: "When you say the last 7 months you've produced more oil, more everything, you've made more money than you have ever made. You know why? What happened 7 months ago? The war. Now, when I say it, they said, 'Oooooh, that's so terrible.' We're making an absolute fortune."

Corrupt cowardly pendejo Marco Rubio helped dictator-wannabe criminal Flavio Bolsonaro and his family flee from Brazil to the US after losing the election and says he will issue them visas. The MAGA regime won’t grant asylum to people fleeing war zones, but they’ll protect a terrorist. Got it.

Flávio Bolsonaro flees from Brazil for the USA after missing a passport deadline in a money-laundering case. Brazil’s Supreme Court separately ordered a probe into foreign campaign financing and support, paid posts and hidden mineral interests.

The conspiracy theories the Right came up with about the Clintons and Obama and Biden are absolutely true of Trump and Kushner and the rest of the ilk… every accusation has been a confession. Every damn one.

If for no other reason, vote against every damn Republican on the ballot because of this. Because of this disgrace, this shame. What happened to Alex Pretti should never happen in America.👇

Headquarters@headquartersnews.bsky.social

Alex Pretti's father: Our son was shot and killed by the government, federal immigration agents, on January 24th, 2026. His hands were in the air, and his face was on the ground when he was executed by ICE agents. No one from the federal government called us on that day. No one has called us since.

Trump just threatened to withhold federal disaster relief from North Carolina if the state votes Democratic in the midterms. Let me remind you again: no president in history has politicized and weaponized natural disasters the way Trump has.

I think what’s going on here is that Trump is sending lists of names that sound immigranty to state election officials and claiming - with no evidence - they’re non-citizens as a pretext to seize ballots.

Kyle Griffin@kylegriffin1.bsky.social

It's not just California: The Trump admin just asked Washington state to set aside ballots received from more than 400 people it claims are suspected to be registered to vote without U.S. citizenship.
