The sandwich thrower thing is funny on a lot of levels, but it was basically the most straightforward case of misdemeanor assault you'll ever see.

This is really blatant jury nullification and sends a pretty clear message that DC juries have no sympathy towards the occupying National Guard/ICE.

Honestly, I thought even after that guy fainted he still looked healthier than Trump in that press conference.

Republican politicians can commit all the crimes they want and victimize as many people as they want because right after they are convicted Trump pardons every single one of them. Every Republican politician is above the law and can do whatever they want. Total immunity.

Has there ever been a weaker Speaker of the House than Mike Johnson, who just picks up the phone each day, says ‘yes sir’ a bunch of times, then hangs up and does what he’s told? Which is do nothing and lie constantly.

We really need a constitutional amendment to limit presidential pardon power even if it is only possible to pass it after Trump’s term. The founders obviously never envisioned any president using it this brazenly and corruptly while remaining impervious to impeachment.

SCOTUS gave Trump immunity from prosecution.

Congress wouldn’t impeach him no matter what he does.

He ignores court orders.

Ignores Congress.

His cabinet does anything he tells them to even if it’s illegal.

DOJ does too.

And the military.

That’s how autocracies are born.

Sure grocery prices are crazy and nobody can buy a house but Trump solved 9 wars today, got Madagascar to give us 4 trillion dollars, is building us a ballroom and triumphal arch, and renovating his jet from Qatar while planning invasions of Venezuela and Argentina.

The goddamn nerve of Jeff Bezos' newspaper to talk shit about raising the minimum wage at a moment when workers at Jeff Bezos' online superstore -- who are paid so little half of them in one study were on SNAP benefits -- are going hungry.

The fucking arrogance.

Stephen West @stephenwest.bsky.social · Jun 26

Wow, sounds like Jeff Bezos is mad

(from A Washington Post editorial entitled "Zohran Mamdani’s victory is bad for New York and the Democratic Party")

Now, a man who believes that capitalism is “theft” is in line to lead the country’s biggest city and the world’s financial capital. His signature ideas are “city-owned grocery stores,” no bus fares, freezing rent on 1 million regulated apartments and increasing the minimum wage to $30. No doubt these might strike some voters as tempting ideas. But, as with so many proposals from America’s far left, the trade-offs would hurt the people they are supposed to help.

A massive minimum wage would depress low-skilled employment. His rent freeze would reduce the housing supply and decrease its quality. Cutting bus fares would leave a

The SNAP contingency fund holds around $6 billion.

Trump refuses to spend it on the American people.

The same guy who just fast-tracked $40 billion to Argentina.

Trump thinks Argentina deserves our money while he lets Americans starve.

This judge ordered the Trump Administration to release all its SNAP funding by Friday because, in his own words, "Children are immediately at risk of going hungry."

How sick do you have to be to appeal that order?

Our President straight up wants kids to starve.

Politico: Judge orders Trump administration to pay full SNAP benefits: The Trump administration is appealing the decision, which requires officials to send the money to millions of food stamp recipients by Friday.
