The last president who declared that anything he does is legal was Richard M. Nixon. And we all know how things worked out for him . . .

I just want to say I’m grateful to everyone who follows me here on Bluesky—the discourse, the defiance, the sharing. It matters more than I can say. Happy Thanksgiving!

Everyone is looking for someone to blame for the DC National Guard shooting. Instead of that wasted energy, we should be asking the question nobody is asking, how did the shooter get his guns? What can we do as a country to make gun violence less likely?

That Jair Bolsonaro is serving a 27 year prison sentence in Brazil for attempting a coup, while an America president who did the same thing is not only free, but trying to help him escape is exactly the kind of thing that makes the U.S. a third world country.

Epstein himself talked about how Trump was in over his head with Russia.
Then he was jailed and murdered by Trump‘s DOJ.

Stephen Miller’s uncle claims that he himself is a product of chain migration. He expresses dismay and increasing horror as he observes his nephew, an educated man who is well aware of his heritage, becoming the architect of immigration policies that contradict his family’s history in this country.

Our convicted felon president, who pardoned Enrique Tarrio, the leader of the Proud Boys convicted of seditious conspiracy, wants to charge Mark Kelly, a decorated war veteran and astronaut, with seditious conspiracy.
That’s some next-level banana republic shit right there.

So Olivia Nuzzi is clearly a piece of shit who can never work in journalism again after this.
And, also, Ryan Lizza is clearly a piece of shit who should never work in journalism again after this either.
We're all agree on that, right?
