Russ Vought set out to ensure a second Trump term would not be hampered by checks and balances: “I don’t want President Trump having to lose a moment of time having fights in the Oval Office about whether something is legal or doable or moral.”

somewhere in portland, there's one person, or a small handful of people, who came up with the inflatable costume idea, and I feel like they deserve our immense respect for defining the obvious developing aesthetic of the contemporary battle against fascism

I know it's a faux pas on this site to post links to the other site, but this is such an outstanding thread breaking down absurdities of LAPD misconduct toward press last night.

@filmthepolicela.bsky.social posts here sometimes but his thread on the other site is a must-see:

I for one do think it's possible for America to find a president better than one who, faced with claims he is dumping shit on Americans, posts a video showing himself dumping shit on Americans.

The world watched as he proved his mental decline and pettiness! He proved he is weak.

MeidasTouch network cofounder Brett Meiselas said: "Trump posting a video of himself literally s***ing on America is pretty spot on, to be honest."

Donald Trump posts film of himself as king bombing protestors with brown sludge

Donald Trump trolled his critics with an AI-generated video where he could be seen branding himself as "King" and wearing a crown - both of which are bizarre images for an American president

In a coordinated move, multiple federal agencies joined BlueSky yesterday and turned to trolling the opposition. Our Assessment on Democratic Decline warns of this autocratic practice: attacking the free press and narrowing the space in which factual reporting can safely operate without retaliation.

Mike Johnson sputtering that it's no big deal that he hasn't sworn in Grivalja yet, it's such a small stupid thing, why are you people still asking about it, I can do it anytime, but no, I'm not going to do it now, or later, or anytime soon, there's no big deal here, shut up, stop asking about it

Rand Paul: "When you kill someone, if you're not in a declared war, you really need to know someone's name at least. You have to accuse them of something. You have to present evidence. So all of these people have been blown up without any evidence of a crime."

The fact that so few news outlets have written about Trump's disgusting video 12 hours later shows how much the media have normalized Trump’s insanity. In my free Stop the Presses newsletter back in March, I wrote about media ripping Biden but stepping around crazy man Trump. I may update that. 7/

Trump is mentally unfit. Why won’t major media say so?

My 14-year-old self would never have guessed that, in 50 years' time, all the world's music would be available at the click of a button, you'd navigate the globe by carrying a tiny computer around in your pocket, and the US President would post a video of himself shitting over American citizens.
