Here's the fallacy. People say that Tr*mp assaulted 26 women and children. That’s not true. He was caught 26 times doing that. The real figure is about seven times higher (180).

PRITZKER IS RIGHT! Trump’s handlers are USING his mental decline to MANIPULATE him! They WON’T intervene because his dementia makes him CONTROLLABLE! Miller, Kushner, all of them exploiting cognitive collapse for power! Every Dem should scream this! TRUMP IS BEING PUPPETEERED!

Greg Sargent @gregsargent.bsky.social · 3d

JB Pritzker has also been emphatically placing Trump's mental decline squarely on the agenda. On our pod, he adds a new element: People around Trump are using his decline to manipulate him, so they're less likely to intervene. More Dems should say this. 1/

JD VANCE LIES: ‘No troops in Gaza!’ BUT IT’S IN THE PLAN! He’s denying what they’re PLANNING to do! This is how they sell wars - lie about intentions while preparing deployment! Vance saying ‘not our plan’ when it LITERALLY IS THE PLAN! Pre-emptive gaslighting!

JD Vance: "The idea that we're gonna have troops on the ground in Gaza and Israel -- that is not our intention, that is not our plan."

JOHNSON COMPLAINS ABOUT ‘EATING UP OCTOBER’ - HE CANCELED HOUSE IN AUGUST TO AVOID EPSTEIN VOTES! The hypocrisy is STAGGERING! Healthcare crisis looming, he’s crying about time HE WASTED! Johnson blocked Epstein files and now blames others! PATHETIC COWARD!

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 22h

BREAM: Open enrollments starts in November. People are already getting notices about what they may pay. I mean, that's gotta be resolved.

MIKE JOHNSON: Yes, and they're eating up the clock in the month of October

(Johnson canceled the House in August to avoid taking votes on Epstein)

GAZA ‘TRUCE’ = LIE! Three days, NO medicine allowed in! No food! Children without milk! No basic supplies! This is DELIBERATE STARVATION! Blocking aid during ceasefire is WAR CRIME! Kids dying while aid sits at borders! This is UNCONSCIONABLE!

Three days into the truce no medicine has come in, no meat or any other kind of food for the people, no milk for the children, no basic supplies.

MASS SHOOTINGS in SC and Mississippi - 10 DEAD, 30 INJURED! Trump’s response? Send troops to Portland and Chicago! NOT the states with actual violence! This isn’t crime prevention - it’s MARTIAL LAW PREPARATION! They’re positioning to CANCEL ELECTIONS! WAKE UP!

Tom Walsh @tewalsh340.bsky.social · 20h

4 Dead, 20 Injured in a South Carolina Bar.
3 shootings in Mississippi leave 6 dead and 10 injured.

And Taco Tits is sending ICE and the Military to Portland and Chicago. Pay attention, people, this isn't about stopping crime, it's about setting up for Martial law and stopping elections.

Chicago journalist Debbie Brockman, who was thrown to the ground & handcuffed by ICE, has been released without charges

DHS said she assaulted an officer, but eye witnesses claim she didn’t

The lack of charges makes it clear that ICE is lying to try and cover up the fact that they attack the press

Also: if you work for ICE, even if you’re not one of the ones arresting citizens or tackling 15-year-olds or zip-tying kids together and segregating them by race, you’re part of the mechanism making it happen, and you should suffer long-term social and post-regime-change consequences.

Some weirdo on Twitter has been absolutely melting down for like 36 straight hours because I posted:

When this is over, do not forget what ICE did, and what ICE is. And do not make room for them in society. Make sure they know that they are, and will continue to be, reviled and beneath contempt.

The people who want violent protests to happen are Trump, Stephen Miller, Kristi Noem, Pete Hegseth, Tom Homan, and other senior appointees in his admin. They are doing everything they possibly can to provoke people to violence and it is obvious that is what they hope for daily.

The firehose of easily disprovable lies from Trump and his allies continues to get worse each month, with one statement after another completely untethered from reality, which is why it is so important for them to take ownership and control of media platforms & intimidate others.

Trump GUTTED protections for disabled students! Entire department gone! These professionals safeguarded our most vulnerable kids - now ZERO support! This is cruelty as policy! Disabled children abandoned by their government! This is MONSTROUS! Where’s the outrage?!

Peter Sagal @petersagal.bsky.social · 1d

The only way this sort of thing makes sense is if they are against the entire concept of a “public good.” That is, something paid for by the public via taxes, owned by the public via government, and benefitting the public as a whole.

Sara Partridge, Ph.D. @sarapartridge.bsky.social · 1d

There are reports that the *entire* office of special education at the US Dept of Education has been cut. These hardworking folks ensure kids with disabilities get equal access to a quality education.

America’s children deserve better than this.

@repstansbury.bsky.social: "This is gangster activity. The president is trying to shield pedophiles by calling and threatening members of Congress. We need more members of Congress, whether it's the Epstein files, the shutdown, health care, democracy, the rule of law, to just fucking do their jobs."

100% AGREE! Release Epstein files AND build systems to prevent elite crime! Truth exposure + systemic reform = actual justice! We need institutions that prosecute powerful criminals, not protect them! Mobilize for STRUCTURAL CHANGE! That’s how we win!

Trump WON’T release Epstein files because HE’S IN THEM! Innocent people don’t hide evidence! CALL THE CAPITOL SWITCHBOARD: (202) 224-3121! DEMAND EPSTEIN FILE RELEASE! Trump’s blocking them = CONFESSION OF GUILT! If he’s innocent, PROVE IT! CALL NOW!

The mainstream media loves making it seam like dysfunction in Washington is coming from both parties.

Hello?

Much of the GOP no longer accepts the rule of law, or the norms of democracy, or the legitimacy of the opposing party.

Enough of the false equivalence.
