Let's keep spreading the word. We need to get Bluesky to at least take a look at this and take it off the back burner. Friends continue to be targeted by people who just enjoy disrupting our community. Read more about this in the petition.

So I’ll do it for him. The 🍊🐷 is the most openly corrupt president in US history.
NEWS --> BBC confirms to me that they did edit a line out of historian @rutgerbregman.com's speech. It called Trump "the most openly corrupt president in US history."

BBC also confirms this was done on the advice of lawyers. So Trump's threats worked.

New piece:

Trump’s Fury at BBC Gets Unnerving Results with Pro-MAGA Edit Stunner
First, British Broadcasting Corporation execs resigned after Trump complained about a segment. Now the BBC edited out a line from a historian that was critical of Trump. Where does this end?

The revenge and retribution tour continues. Thank you Senator for your service and upholding the law and Constitution. 🫡
I swore an oath to the Constitution in 1986. I've upheld it through 25 years of service and every day since I retired.

If Trump's trying to intimidate me, it won’t work. I’ve given too much to our country to be silenced by bullies who care more about power than the Constitution.

There are several analyses of the Comey and James cases that I’ve read over the last day. Here is a thorough assessment that walks us through the basics and history leading to the decision we all expected, except perhaps the 🍊🐷

A Wrench In Trump’s Revenge Machine
Yesterday’s ruling holding that Lindsey Halligan was illegally appointed carries big consequences for Trump’s political prosecutions.

As J.R. Ewing, Texan Larry Hagman was the only actor to appear in all 357 episodes of "Dallas." I only mention it because Larry died 13 years ago today, on Nov. 23, 2012. He was 81 years old.

It was pretty obvious from the written material, which I said read like a clumsy Russian translation with Russian grammatical structures.
Too late. Marco Rubio already spilled the truth. The so called peace plan was Russia’s wish list, not something the US drafted. He’s trying to walk it back but the damage is done.

He’s scrambling.

Just one time, Trump should be given 150 dollars, sent into a grocery store and told to feed a family of 4 for a week. Just once. Then he can talk about affordability. Not until then.

Rep Jasmine Crockett on MTG quitting: “I was like, you got to be kidding. You’re on the other side of the president for one week and you can’t take the heat? Imagine what it is to sit in my shoes.”

Greene fanned the flames of hate for years and can’t handle the monster she helped create.
