A reminder

Mike Johnson doesn't know sh*t

I know, I know. In-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, and out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.

The media treated Biden's poll numbers, which were better than Trump's, as a major storyline that merited constant coverage and analysis.

Picture of the East Wing demolition of the White House taken on my flight out of DCA.

he's knocking down the literal white house and illegally murdering people by dropping bombs on international boats and the government has been shut down for weeks and it's just like....yep

Merkley: "What we've seen is that democracies no longer die bc men w/guns go in and take it over. Instead, it's electeds who erode the separation of power. If you have a rubber-stamp Congress & courts that deliver more power to the executive, suddenly you have an authoritarian state. It's here now."

The crime of the century is happening before our very eyes:

“Were Trump to direct his DOJ to open the doors of the U.S. Treasury for him, the precedent set would open up new frontiers in corruption—even for an administration that is already the acknowledged all-time leader in the field.”

Why is Apple, Microsoft, Lockheed Martin, Blackstone, Google, OpenAI, Amazon and others financing the destruction of the WH and desecration of the grounds, something that is infuriating to huge chunk of the American population? Do you hate your customers that much?

It is the fate of the Tower to fall.

people seriously underplay the strength of elected leaders, influential people and the like just saying a thing.

just... like... say a thing and repeat it. its the core of politics and communications. you say a thing and say it over and over and it becomes the story. it works.

Trump has now murdered 34 people in international waters.

No one has any idea if any were criminals, and of course it doesn't matter, because it was a war crime to kill even a single one of them.

Drug trafficking is a felony, but it's not a violent crime and isn't punishable by summary execution.

A live look at the demolition of the White House's East Wing for Trump's ballroom.

Lots of US companies have done lots of dreadful things to Americans. But the symbolism of paying to destroy the White House is hard to top.

Still going! @merkley.senate.gov protesting Trump's threats to democracy. There's a lot to protest.

To be crystal clear: trump is talking about taxpayers paying him millions of dollars as some sort of restitution because he was investigated for sending a mob to the US capitol on Jan 6th to overthrow the 2020 election. That might just be he most f*cked up thing he’s done since Jan 6th…

ICE is stockpiling arms, including chemical weapons, guided missile warheads and explosive components. The spending dwarfs anything we've ever seen in the agency - a 700% increase.

The President is building an army to attack his own country.

So we’re now paying federal taxes so Donald Trump can withdraw them from the Treasury like it’s his own personal bank account? Really?

The White House is asking people not to share pictures of the East Wing because it’s even worse today.

A good reminder that we will not always see a path through the storm, but we also have our noses, our paws, our friends, and with tentative steps together we might still find our way.

Oh you leftists and your PURITY TESTS

...

Nazism isn't a goddamned purity test you stupid feckless soulless monsters.

WELL HOW ABOUT THAT

"A millionaire levy in Massachusetts has generated $3 billion more in revenue than expected without forcing significant high-profile departures from the state."

the year is 2030. the white house remains half demolished because president trump refused to pay construction workers and musk gutted government spending. two thieves sneak into the white house using a truck mounted ladder and steal the constitution
