Left the other place. Basically an introvert. Big fan of critical thinking. I block rude, hateful, and stupid, no matter who you are. See also @kayvray.com

She hasn’t even learned the “let me just say this…” deflection. This is a perfect example of the kakistrocacy we are now living under.

Sen. Darline Graham (R-SC) is asked at #SCSen debate about Taiwan and the South China Sea: "I’m just going to be honest here; I’m not that informed on national security, so — but I do support the military." Rep. Ralph Norman (R-SC) then responds.

"The math only adds up if you're trying to build a police state." Miles Taylor, former DHS chief of staff, tells Rachel Maddow that the system of immigration prisons that Donald Trump wants to assemble is much bigger than the stated purpose of the prisons; unless Trump has some other use in mind.

I’m dumbfounded by this.

A DOGE staffer assigned to the National Endowment for the Humanities to flag grants for "DEI" tries to explain what "DEI" is. This deposition is part of a lawsuit by the @acls1919.bsky.social, @historians.org and @modernlanguage.bsky.social.

A large banner of Donald Trump was hung outside of the Justice Department headquarters in Washington, DC, emphasizing the White House’s control over the nation’s top law enforcement branch that once pursued criminal prosecutions against the president. https://cnn.it/4cBCqW7

Oh, look. Someone who’s not afraid to speak out. Someone who has an idea of what to do, who can spell it out in a calm and rational manner. We need more of this.

Mamdani: "I am in support of abolishing ICE. What we see is an entity that has no interest in fulfilling its stated reason to exist. We're seeing a government agency that is supposed to be enforcing some kind of immigration law, but instead what it's doing is terrorizing people."

So much lasting damage done in so little time.

Remember when we were not losing jobs in droves, or at odds with all our allies, or attacking other nations for their resources, or deploying masked thugs to terrorize our citizens, or pardoning drug traffickers and violent criminals in exchange for bribes? It was only little over a year ago.

This is the most sickening thing … no, it’s not. Sadly. It’s just one of the horrifically sickening things that have been perpetrated by the current administration as they implement Project 2025.

Sheer stupidity.

Elizabeth Warren on people who say Dems needs to tone down their rhetoric: "Oh, please. Why don't you start with the president of the United States? And every ugly meme he's posted and every ugly word."

Media please shut the fuck up about deterioration of civil political debate. We have a massive lying and gaslighting problem that begins at the White House and ends with Kirk. That's what's making people desperate.

The official White House account reposted this on Instagram. The media should be in an uproar about it. It was mentioned on @nbcnews.com NBC nightly news, as they showed the truth social post, but only the first sentence. What legitimate news outlet would not show the entire thing?

Undermining the Fed to get lower rates now is like ripping the batteries out of your smoke alarm because it’s beeping. It’s quiet for a bit. Then your house burns down. Credibility anchors expectations; expectations anchor inflation.

It doesn't matter whether conservative ideals and policies are good or bad, popular or unpopular, if they are imposed on Americans unlawfully and arbitrarily. A free society is ruled by law. Given Trump’s lawlessness, we no longer have a legitimate government. trib.al/2Je9uOL

You know that scene in an action movie when the bad guy runs through the kitchen of a restaurant and pulls down all the pots and pans behind him to slow down his pursuers? We're in that part of the Trump presidency.

Important to know that these cuts kick in right after the 2026 midterms. That’s how you know they know it’s bad.

Here's to MacKenzie Scott who has always retained grace and humanity. Little Jeff Bezoz, who looks like he was wearing an Amazon box stuffed under his wedding tuxedo just hawks space dreams that are a threat to humanity.

As if he weren’t enough of an embarrassment already.

President Trump said that he had no plans to call Governor Tim Walz of Minnesota after a man assassinated a state lawmaker there and wounded another over the weekend. "I think the governor of Minnesota is so whacked out, I’m not calling him," Trump told reporters.

In 2024, four women held four-star ranks in the military — the highest levels of the armed forces. Only 10 women have held the highest rank in their military branches in history. Now, there are none. Of the four women, two of them retired and two were ousted. bit.ly/4i1EWUO

#Signalgate should still be trending. On. Every. Platform.

Victor Shi@victorshi.bsky.social

Wow. Rep. Jake Auchincloss minces no words about Signalgate on Piers Morgan: “Pete Hegseth is lying to the American people, lying to Congress, lying to the military.” “It’s incompetence incarnate…It’s embarrassing & it’s dangerous.” This is how it’s done.
