Robert Murphy

Andrew Cuomo is a person of deeply flawed character who disgraced his office as governor. We do not need any more bitter, narcissistic, predatory men like him in public office.

This is how a leader responds to being interrupted by a protestor while they’re speaking. This what leadership looks like, Secretary Noem. g.co/kgs/4t4DNv2

The amount of death and destruction caused by Trump’s childish repudiation of the JCPOA negotiated by the Obama administration is staggering. The deal was working, and Trump tore it up for no reason other than his jealousy of a Black man he knew was a better man than himself.

I loved seeing lots of American flags at our #NoKings protest in the north Bay today. We are protesting because we love America, and it is ours just as much as it is Trump’s. Ours to love, ours to care for, ours to fix.

Presidents are not kings, and the American people are no one’s subjects.

Stay nonviolent, but do not back down one inch. Make them arrest every last one of us.

Republicans are sooo in favor of states’ rights that I’m sure they all voted to let California continue to set its own emissions and environmental standards, right?

I think Brock Purdy might not need a roommate anymore.

If Kamala Harris were president, she would not stand silent while Israel blockades food and medicine from getting to the 2 million people trapped in Gaza. There was a marked difference between the two candidates on this issue and it’s your fault if you didn’t see it 7 months ago.

True patriot love in all thy sons’ command! Mark Carney’s Liberals win election upended by Trump, Canadian Broadcasting Corporation projects

Trump’s Ukraine-Russia “peace” proposal is the equivalent of letting the Confederacy keep everything from the Southern half of PA south on June 30, 1863.

Crimea is as much a part of Russia as Greenland is a part of the US. Carrying water for Putin and the former host of The Apprentice makes Marco look tiny.

What authority does El Salvador have to imprison Kilmar Abrego Garcia? He hasn’t been convicted of breaking any Salvadoran laws, has he?

I don’t think a policy of tariffing China to the hilt is optimal, but at least a China-only tariff policy is not at odds with itself.

If Trump’s approval isn’t in the 20s next week…

The Trump tariffs are not going to send this country into a recession. They are going to send it into a depression. I’m tariffied.

I’ve been liberated from more than 10% of my net worth since Trump took office. But thank god we don’t have someone who has compassion for trans children in the White House, right?

If you aren’t buying whole beans and grinding them yourself and using filtered water, it’s like you want your coffee to be mediocre.

BREAKING: Susan Crawford defeats Head Dogebag Elon Musk in Wisconsin Supreme Court race.

When will Trump and the morons around him learn that journalists who talk to them almost always keep receipts?

I’ve come across less powerful versions of Trump dozens of times. Extortionist bullies who make outrageous demands of those they perceive as weak. The way to get them to back off isn’t to capitulate. It’s to stand up to them and win. Just knowing you aren’t afraid of them makes them afraid of you.

If you’re a non-citizen gang member, Venezuelan or otherwise, you should be deported. But if the government doesn’t have to prove that you’re a gang member before they put you on a plane to Guantanamo 2.0 in El Salvador, then they can come for me next and this isn’t a free country anymore.

If the government can come for a pro soccer player, claim he’s a gang member, and deport him with no evidence and no hearing, then ignore a judge’s order to keep him in the US, they can come for you and me, too.

I disagree vehemently with Mahmoud Khalil’s views on the war in Gaza, but the man has done nothing wrong. America is supposed to be a place where it’s safe for us to disagree with each other.

France should consider giving Zelensky nuclear weapons.

Donald Trump may need to step down in order for there to be peace between Ukraine and Russia.

Mayor Adams needs to be removed from office immediately, and if Governor Hochul won’t remove him, the state Assembly should initiate impeachment proceedings against the Governor tomorrow.

Anyone who thinks the ocean between us and Ukraine has any relevance to whether their problems are problems doesn’t understand the world or the war we had to fight in the 1940s.

The process IS the substance.

This isn’t a normal bad presidency where you just grit your teeth and get through it. This is war - not the kind with guns and bombs - but it’s war and either the forces of evil or the forces of decency will prevail. We didn’t start this war, but we damn sure better win it.

It is a great honor for Kelce to lose by five touchdowns with Trump watching.

I thought if we elected Trump, he would make the price of eggs lower?

When they announce President Trump’s attendance at the Super Bowl, I hope there’ll be a reprisal of the “Lock Him Up” chants from the 2019 World Series. It’s no honor to play in front of this man.

Let this be the last time any of us refuses to act like an adult in the voting booth. If we have the opportunity to vote in another free election, we simply mustn’t act with anything less than the utmost seriousness. www.politico.com/news/2025/02...

3 things @schatz.bsky.social seems to get that no one else in DC does: 1-How much worse this is than first time 2-The way to win the country back is to fight, loudly and often 3-There are many fights we can win right now. Trump is a coward & he isn’t smart. Stand up to him & he isn’t hard to beat.

Those who have ability to take a public stand against Trump’s atrocities and who know better but decline to do so for self-focused reasons (Bezos, Cook, ABC, CNN) will not be forgiven when this is over.

Colombia gets to lecture to us about treating people with human dignity and they’re right to do so. One of the many soon-forgotten tragedies of life under burgeoning fascism.

Donald Trump will be sentenced. It’s a shame that he won’t even get probation for his crimes - he deserves years of jail time - but he will live the rest of his life as a felon. Hopefully that life will be measured in days rather than years.

By any normal standard of jurisprudence, Justice Alito should recuse himself from every case to which Trump or his administration is a party or files an amicus brief. Which is to say, the vast majority of SCOTUS cases over the next four years (or until the hamburger from heaven arrives 🤞).

Donald Trump committed 34 felonies while he was not president, he was tried and convicted of all 34 while he was not president, and now he will be sentenced for his crimes while he is not president.

Turns out Congress still has the power of the purse because presidents are not kings, and Donald Trump is not president.

Disney and ABC would have done well to remember Judge Chutkin’s words: presidents are not kings and [Donald Trump] is not president.

Pete Hegseth totally knows how many Senators there are in the Senate, just like he knows how to treat all human being with decency, even the ones he wants to have sex with.

There’s one party that wants to protect your teenager from surgery that will allow them to live as who they are but doesn’t want to protect them from being raped or sex trafficked by Matt Gaetz.

The only antidote is courage. And that’s infectious, too.

Donald Trump is on a mission to find the few men in America who have committed even worse sex crimes against women than he has and name them all to his cabinet.

Imagine if Biden nominated Harvey Weinstein for AG.

There’s no reason why the Florida or DC attorney general can’t prosecute the US attorney general for violating local human trafficking/sex trafficking laws.

There isn’t a single Trump cabinet nominee I’d consider hiring if they applied for an entry-level associate job at my firm, regardless of ideology.

Marco Rubio has scant foreign policy experience and credentials. He is the least qualified Sec-State nominee in recent history. And he is the most qualified of Trump’s cabinet nominees. By far.
