“Tricia McLaughlin said protesters “shot at agents” with fireworks and threw objects at agents [and] Agents...gave protesters multiple warnings. The video of the incident does not show protesters throwing rocks or fireworks at agents, nor can agents be heard warning protesters.”

Stern words from ⁦‪the conservative WSJ editorial board‬⁩: “The real offender here is a President who seems to think he can use the powers of his office to run vendettas. We said this was one of the risks of a second Trump term, and it’s turning out to be worse than we imagined.”

It is mind-boggling to consider the estate battle that will be waged between the siblings on 47’s passing. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/05/u...

The repeated gut-punches of fascism are unfortunately becoming familiar. The words from the Fourth Circuit just sound like the last whispers of democracy before the door slowly closes on history.

Stock market’s crashing, retirement savings are disappearing… and he’s out golfing.

This isn't just donalds doing. The Republicans in Congress own this. They had the ability to stop him and they didn't. This isn't donalds economy, this is the republican economy.

Once you establish that people can be punished because the administration doesn't like their speech, expanding the bounds of who can be treated that way becomes inevitable.

This is the correct answer for all Democrats.

Since it apparently needs to be said: As a Jew who works on a university campus, I am safest in a country that protects academic freedom and liberal values of due process of law. Anyone who supports extrajudicial detention of students for "wrong" ideological opinions is not doing it for my safety.

📌NOTE: Immediately after the vile attack on Zelensky by Putin's puppets Friday, Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries should have called a joint press conference and explained to the American public the significance, heinousness and danger of that sickening surrender. 📌They should STILL be talking now.

Genuine question for @admiralstav.bsky.social and @genmhayden.bsky.social : how will American soldiers, seamen and officers respond when they are ordered, at some point, to stand down (or, God forbid, fight) when Russia attacks their European counterparts?

Economic ideologues and morons are ramming our economy into every single known iceberg in what must be considered a possible kamikaze mission.

Getting agitated because the academic ‘elites’ annoy you rings pretty hollow when you contrast that with having to mop up your empty bank accounts and after a bunch of economically ignorant flex-heads start ramming the economy into every iceberg they can find. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/27/b...

Brilliant but devastating editorial in the Financial Times. “In the past 10 days, he [Trump] has all but incinerated 80 years of postwar American leadership. If you are not at the table, you are on the menu. America has turned.”

Brilliant protest. Yosemite National Park workers hung an upside-down American flag — traditionally a symbol of distress or a national threat — thousands of feet off the ground on the side of El Capitan.

How long is it going to take to break the absolute mythology that Republicans are good for the economy or that they have any idea how to improve the economy?!?!? Smh www.nytimes.com/2025/02/21/b...

The flying public needs answers. How many FAA personnel were just fired? What positions? And why?

The Washpost, which is bleeding millions of dollars and shrinking its staff, accepted -- and then rejected -- a $115,000 ad that criticized Elon Musk. Anyway, here's the ad that the Post's business side didn't want its readers to see ⤵️ thehill.com/media/514849...

@thebulwark.bsky.social @ezrakleinbot.bsky.social @katiecouric.bsky.social Is the “Gulf of America” move essentially a ‘flag plant’ so that he can claim that all natural resources in the Gulf are American resources?

If I were in the White House Press Corps I would just want to know what the rules are on renaming things, like can he say Sweden is now New Ikea, cheese is now toast, and Melania was never an illegal immigrant? Like where is the line exactly

So, friends, we have finally found some "waste, fraud, and abuse" in the federal government. $400m worth, and it is from Musk himself. He's just outright stealing money now.

Hi Bluesky! Glad to be here.

Above is the phone number for the U.S. Capitol switchboard where an operator will connect you directly with the office you request. Let your members of Congress know how you feel. It matters.

Even when you know what they’re doing, it’s still painful to see it spelled out in black and white. Especially when you know that 95% of the American public aren’t equipped to effectively respond to such an insidious act when so few tools are available for people to use.

We must keep an ongoing list. It will be impossible to keep up with everything as we move forward. This list will be necessary to demonstrate to others whose lives have not been directly impacted as why America has collapsed.

Great start - but expand this: 1) no government contracts; and, 2) no subcontractor may employ a J6 participant on a state-contracted job. Every governor, red or blue, should be pressured to do this. This is a war for hearts and minds.

So…it’s day 5 of 47’s term. Has he done anything at all (I may have missed it) that has improved the lives of any Americans?

Unpopular opinion: Joe Biden’s ‘strength’ in expressing genuine empathy, at some point, appeared to be less than genuine as he only appeared to be aligning with people as they were grieving and not when they were angry/resentful about the systemic corporate greed that seems to be attacking everyone

Excruciatingly accurate description of how the failure of leadership by the heads of the accepted premier journalism institutions to follow the through line. If the theme of the story isn’t resonating with a segment of the public, that simply means that that is the other theme of the story.

Right on cue Democrats will spend a week eating each other alive over the pardon while Trump keeps setting up the most unfit government in history to rip apart lives on Day 1 unfettered by a coherent opposition.

Tomorrow, Biden needs to issue hundreds of other pardons for those justifiably deserving. Focus on justice. That’s the reason for pardons, always. It gives us another opportunity to talk about pardons unrelated to his son.

We are watching the beginning of the exercise of the immense and horrific power of an authoritarian government. It is terrifying. People will bend. People will be jailed. People will disappear or ‘accidentally’ fall off buildings.The threats we’ve been warning about are real. And it’s just beginning

You’ve got to hand it to the programmers at MSNBC: the stars of their early morning shows go out with a spectacular self-inflicted character destruction worthy of history books! Oh wait…those will soon be re-written too so…

What a grotesque experience that was. Joe Scarborough & Mika Brzezinski capitulated so openly to the new authoritarian leader followed by a shameless suggestion to their audience that we should not be behave outraged by the numerous assaults on our democracy, individual rights, and economic system.

My Instagram feed started posting these weird Trump/Melania/Vance/Trump Family PR reels in the Suggested Reels section a few days ago. This is a full-court press. Check your family and friends over the next few weeks to see whether their perspective about him is starting to change.
