He is the President and he has been breaking the law with impunity, over and over and then flaunting it in public. The Supreme Court has said the only way to punish him is impeachment. Not impeaching sends the message that any president anytime in the future can do whatever the fuck they want.
They already did that twice and removal or revolution still didn't occur. By all means, say it's the principle of the thing and hell, I'll even agree with you, but that's all it is. Some GOP senators genuinely agree with him and some just think he'll kill them if they impeach but same result.
Kamala Harris: I think that going in the direction of impeachment is not a good idea.
I was in the Senate for the last go-round, and the votes aren’t there.
I think after the election, we all have to just also agree that our attitude has to be to get stuff done…
The US government poured all its resources into fabricating evidence that day laborer Kilmar Abrego Garcia was a criminal (all because he embarrassed the despot) even as it now rolls out the red carpet for an actual criminal who happens to be an ally of Trump
“As I reported hours ago, Flávio Bolsonaro has arrived safely in United States.
The mastermind behind this operation is U.S. Secretary of State @SecRubio .
From the United States, free and safe, Flávio will lead the opposition against Lula.” - Simon Levy … WTF???? 1/
NEW: The DOGE operative who gutted USAID -- firing thousands of employees and canceling lifesaving programs -- never actually signed the paperwork that's legally required for him to be employed by the agency.
The powerful executives who cozied up to Trump didn't oops accidentally forget about pendulum swings. They either:
1) Like the fascism
2) Calculated it was here to stay, so going along was savvy
3) Saw no real downside, no consequences when the pendulum swung
Crucial to show them 3 was a mistake
A new survey of 1,000 American adults found that the strongest supporters of transgender sports bans are not the people who admire women most: they are the people who hold the most hostile views about women.

the biggest presidential scandal in history but the political media largely acts as if it's not happening. hasan piker has received more mainstream political media coverage over the last 6 months than trump's connections with epstein has
NEW: "Donald Trump was an active participant in Jeffrey Epstein’s sexual abuse of young women during the mid-to-late 1990s," per new House Judiciary Dem report.
Report has new allegation that Trump raped a 24-year-old and then promised the victim a visa & NYU admission, demanding she stay quiet.
There is an international, well-connected network of fascists promoting far-right candidates in elections (and coups) across the world. The guy who owns the site Yglesias posted this on is one of their leaders.
Be careful of people advocating for their opponents to disarm!
I just think Matt's wrong about this. We're at a point in our technological development where a ton of problems spill over national borders--if Flavio Bolsonaro burns down the Amazon, that will flood houses in Miami.
now would be a good time to start sounding alarm talking about how all the republicans everyone hates are actively trying to steal elections. Like I understand journos brains are already cooked but no one likes these guys in charge except for 75 year old morons. That isn’t the country’s biggest demo
here, write it down so it’s easy to repeat:
an illegitimate supreme court allowed an insurrectionist barred by the 14th amendment to take office and his pardons aren’t worth the paper they’re printed on
New: White House attorneys are evaluating whether to issue mass pardons to junior staffers.
https://www.washingtonsun.com/whitehouse/white-house-weighing-mass-pardons-for-junior-staff
The idea that, after everything that's happened, a future Dem administration/DOJ would just be forced to respect blanket, preemptive pardons issued by Trump to cover up crimes, is absurd. The pardon power is not a magic spell that we are helpless to overcome.
It’s a subject that makes a lot of people uncomfortable and calling them corrupt and evil is easier. But the truth is that Republicans have a rape problem—one that they celebrate.
Extraordinary. I can't believe your story may be the first time the Republican's acceptance of the rape and abuse of woman and children has been spoken of in such clear terms... considering how goddamn long it's been going on.
Scoop: White House lawyers are weighing preemptive mass pardons for junior staff, sources says
Under discussion: Pardoning everyone involved in deportation, war, or trade policy

The pedophile protection party’s president is laundering right-wing conspiracy theories through the most corrupt DOJ in American history.
Whenever the news turns bad, this creep reaches for one name: mine. So let’s make it crystal clear. My name has always been Ilhan Omar.
Remarkable. I don't know how to explain what journalism is to two of the largest media outlets in America.
Journalism is not repeating an obvious, comical lie, then tacking on who said it at the end.
this is fucking appalling. i already knew james dolan (who owns the knicks and madison square garden) was a douche but this is next-level. www.nytimes.com/athletic/771...
Once mass spam texts were made legal, younger donors vanished, leaving a grassroots fundraising machine that subsists on squeezing vulnerable seniors, some of whom give hundreds of times a day. It’s a horrific model. Consultants get generationally wealthy, and the party hollows out its future.
We found that as of right now 73% of your campaign donation goes back to the consultants and vendors (!!!), four times more than just 20 years ago. Only 13% to ads. Even I was shocked.
Most billionaire wealth isn't in yachts or jewelry — that's just a few percent of it. Most is productive business capital: companies that employ people, build things, and fund research.
Tax that wealth and you're taxing the businesses that employ us all. Cato's Adam Michel explains.

This is terrorism. This is why you don’t tell them “welcome home,” you don’t push for a “strong Republican Party,” you don’t stress “bipartisanship.”
You conquer them and expunge them. That’s what you do.
U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar will move out of her Washington, D.C., home that federal agents searched last week, she said Wednesday, noting that attention brought on by the raid has made her feel unsafe there.

Airbnb went from a cheap way to crash in a spare bedroom or rent a vacation house for a weekend and turned into "what if hotels openly hated you and acted like they were doing you a favor by letting you give them hundreds of dollars to stay there, and also it's more expensive"
Airbnb is banning its hosts from making guests do things like “stripping the bed, taking trash offsite, or washing and putting away dishes.”
The hosts....are not taking it well:

Ramaswamy has produced an attack ad weaponizing the rape of his opponent, Amy Acton, when she was 12 years old. It features Acton’s mother, who abandoned Acton after she was raped by her step-father, fleeing the state with her husband.
Here is the corporate money helping fund that ad.
The director of FEMA is not allowed to do this legally. The director of OMB is not allowed to do this legally. The President of the United States is not allowed to do this legally. They're a gang of criminals, and should suffer the consequences.
FEMA tells states: We're incompetent, hopelessly politicized, unable and willing to fulfill our statutory responsibilities. The take care clause of the constitution no longer exists.

She was being paid $50 million to engineer a pardon from Trump *while working at the Justice Department* as a "Special Government Employee."
And it worked. He got the pardon, and she got the money.

So we’re already at the “rich individual unilaterally dictates the course of wars between nations” stage of oligarchy, how much farther do we want to take this?
Sabotaging American foreign policy in order to help win an election is one area where Trump genuinely isn't an aberration. Nixon sabotaged peace talks with Vietnam and Reagan backchanneled to prevent Carter from getting the hostages in Tehran released. A long-standing Republican tradition of treason
man if i was that reporter id do one of those “fatderangedpedophileeveryonehates says what??” right at that moment and wow they might just make me president right on the spot
The guy who made his fortune by giving Alzheimer’s patients and their families false hope just tried to exploit the sex abuse his opponent suffered as a child for his own political gain.
Republicans are a Mad Libs of depraved cruelty and moral degeneracy. Just horrible people.
I'm not kidding, the guy simply has to be at the very least deported at the end of this. If we're doing "he's not from here" shit, he is the most not from here guy alive. He needs jail or deportation the second it's viable to do it.
the people who were gonna vote for Vivek look like this lady. hat on a hat, everyone else will see this old goblin and know who they should vote for based on that alone
