The core principles of the Republican Party have been bigotry, greed & anti-science idiocy for the past 50+ years. Trump's base would be Hitler-loving Nazis, if they happened to be born at a different time & place. NYC

Killing more than 8 million people and 3 million children will be the legacy of Elon Musk and Donald Trump. I wonder, how do "pro-life Christians" feel about enabling this with their overwhelming support of Trump?

Trump is the perfect representation of what the Republican Party has been for the past 60 years. This is what conservatives want, when they say they are in favor of "small government"

It is notable that the Cleveland Browns are involved in funding the reprehensible ad against Amy Acton, which essentially attacks her as a survivor of an alleged rape when she was a child The franchise traded for quarterback Deshaun Watson after he was accused BY AT LEAST 27 WOMEN of sexual assault

Judd Legum@juddlegum.bsky.social

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.

Nobody is more racist than Trump and the people who voted for him.

🤔 What the hell is wrong with Trump? 🤔 Trump gave a bonkers speech in Georgia that included Islamophobic bigotry, oddly sexual comments about men, crazed lies about teachers secretly trans-ing kids, and a variety of other insane rants Here's the lowlight reel:

All four of the women confirmed to have had children with Elon Musk—Shivon Zilis, ex-wife Justine Wilson, Claire Boucher (better known as Grimes), and Ashley St. Clair—have used social media to share details of their time with him.

At a run time of nearly four hours, “Musk” sounds like daunting viewing, though once it’s over, you’ll find yourself wondering if it could’ve been a 10-part miniseries. That’s how much ground there is to cover. www.wired.com/story/elon-m...

Trump's panicking about the widespread revulsion against his Arch, and is trying to cloak it in national security to jam it through or go around the normal approval process. It's even more important to stop it now, as a test case of not letting him use "national security" to justify illegal acts.

“Trump has always inflated his role in 9/11, but these days, he’s living in a fantasyland, one that he makes and remakes daily, where he’s always the star of the show.” This piece by @snipy.bsky.social is all about the stolen valor Trump has littered everywhere. @atrupar.com | Public Notice

JEFFRIES: "There have been at least 18 deaths and more than 800 injuries in Donald Trump’s reckless war of choice in Iran." The ruthless POS calls that tragic loss of American patriots “small potatoes.” That should be impeachable on its own. Fuck this pompous prick.

The Trump family is awarding itself its very own bank charter, and is doling out licenses to its cronies like crackerjack prizes. It's a grotesque corruption of the entire federal banking regulatory regime. But most US corporate media has decided this is news you don't need to know anything about.

There's no standing for states to sue over that EO yet because it's just the president of the United States officially proclaiming his order to illegally interference in state elections, and you have to wait and see how and if agencies actually follow what he said first, is pants-on-head lunacy.

This is another small but crucial example of the role of politicization in government. How do you set up an inhumane coercive system of detention?
