NO KINGS means Congress must reassert its Constitutional powers. This means Dems MUST honor their oaths & impeach Trump & every member of his regime for every crime, EVEN IF they can't get a conviction in the Senate. Not doing so makes them complicit & it helps Republicans escape responsibility.

The NYT story does not even include the word rape. Not once.

The way you stop these people is you put the fear of God into them.

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

The Founding Fathers are rolling in their graves with these lies in service of an unconstitutional war that Congressional Republicans have let happen by abdicating their Article I powers.

There can never be another "water under the bridge" administration ever again, and part of that is going to involve shaming everyone on board with this one - voters included - as the disgusting pig racists they are

I know there's a lot going on but I feel it should probably be more of an above-the-fold story that members of Congress released a thoroughly documented report directly accusing the president of the United States of being a serial rapist.

I should disclose something. During a recent Lunch order the subagent hacked into the UN. I’m not sure why, or what it wants. It told me to post this and await further instructions.

Of course @gluesenkampperez.house.gov isn't on here.

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.

The elections are on next Tuesday, and so much is at stake, including the soul of the Democratic Party when it comes to transgender people. I am asking you to leave a very small number of races blank in which a Democrat has embraced extreme anti-trans hate. I make my case here.

This is the terror our communities are experiencing. #waleg and the Governor are not doing enough to protect our neighbors. The mask ban was such a waste of legislation. Stop sharing data with the Feds!

Bolsonaro-friendly mayors appear to be sabotaging public transport on Election Day. Buses aren’t running in Lula-friendly areas, flights and ferries mysteriously canceled. Traffic lights have gone out and people’s power cut in Salvador, indigenous people’s travel restricted

People don’t understand why I keep noting that BlueSky is not a bubble, it is a counterpublic. It serves its own organizational function: you can see in realtime in January 2025, on multiple types of social media, shouting that an executive order is instruction to an agency. This one stuck.

The speed with which so many execs cozied up to this authoritarian says more about their revealed preferences than long term strategic thinking. They saw a chance for what they saw as a "business friendly" autocrat and oligarchic consolidation and jumped at it.

Lula Goes HARD

A stunning defeat for a Trump-aligned right-wing leader in Europe. Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić, whose government cultivated close ties with Donald Trump and his family, has conceded defeat to a student-led opposition movement in a historic parliamentary election.

Real America:

Schrodinger's trans person: so insignificant their votes don't matter, yet so powerful they must abuse us publicly for not co-signing their bigotry.

We did this in mid-ish 2025 in a meeting with @repdelbene.bsky.social office. When we tied them together they said "oh we never thought of that, that's a good idea. If you can send us more ideas..." Yes. Let the volunteers do the job of the professional policy advisor lol They never used it.

In Kansas. KANSAS. It's just soooo easy to not throw Trans people under the bus. There are countless ways to make the argument, even in Red areas, that deciding to do it is stupid, shameful, & disqualifying. B/c you neither have the spine nor the skill needed. Subskeet: @repdelbene.bsky.social

People who think embracing GOP hatred of trans people is the only way for Democrats to win in that part of the country should remember that in 2025, John Ewing became the first Black mayor of Omaha NE by running this ad. He beat Republican incumbent Jean Stothert by 12 points.

I will never vote for an anti-transgender Democrat like Josh Turek and you should not either. I'll probably be writing my case to abstain from a handful of races like his on Monday. Josh Turek is showing the exact slippery slope I've called out, in real time.

Another evil layer to this ad from Josh Turek: When he turns to say "stop the nonsense from both extremes," he opens with a clip of Rep. Becca Balint, the first openly gay woman to represent Vermont in congress and one of the few openly gay members of congress.

If you donated to Josh Turek without realizing he was running on a federally funded trans healthcare coverage ban, you can request a refund of your donation here: help.actblue.com/hc/en-us/art...

@gabrielzucman.bsky.social: So let met get that straight: paying a wealth tax is impossible (“billionaires have no liquidity”, “it would be taxing unrealized gains”, “their wealth is virtual”) but one man paying half a billion to influence elections is possible. Did I understand well?

Reagan talked about welfare queens in Cadillacs, Trump talks about Somalian thieves in Mercedes Benzes, because being *real* racist has been a core strategy Republican politicians for a very long time, even if prior to Trump a lot of folks who should have known better enjoyed pretending otherwise.

This admission alone is an impeachable offense

scott galloway and jessica tarlov held an event here in town yesterday where “don’t impeach or waste time on investigations because ‘28” was the consensus position of the panel. so yeah, this is something to anticipate.

What happens to these criminals will determine whether, at some point in the near future, some not-huge number of years down the line, this country is a liberal democracy or else has a consolidated authoritarian regime and/or collapses into civil conflict. That's not hyperbole, it's what's at stake.

The Democratic members of Congress that have repeatedly refused the Constitutional remedy of impeachment have aided in the shattering of said Constitutional system.

That it'll fail because they lack sufficient consolidation and centralized control does not make it trivial that the president of the United States is trying to steal elections and produce an illegitimate sham Congress. It is open rebellion against the Constitution and morally tantamount to treason.

This is true, and it's why Trump v. United States should basically be understood to have triggered the Lockean right of revolution

“No kings is impeachment.” So why won’t the leaders of the No Kings movement call for it? Jessica Denson breaks down “No Kings. No Demands. What Happened?” by our co-founder Keira Havens. 🔗 buff.ly/4c8VzvS #NoKings #Impeachment @flareusa.bsky.social @removalcoalition.bsky.social

Simple pragmatism should have dictated the abandonment of this theory of change since it never led Clinton to a majority of his own, and it was not the method that Barack Obama used in the 2008 race which he won overwhelmingly. Popularism has been a total failure during the Trump era as well.

Who hasn't gotten carried away and done some treason and mass murder?
