I still don’t understand how he can make changes to a historical building so quickly. I can’t get permits to renovate a bathroom in my city in less than 6 months. This is The People’s House, it should be harder than this.

I’m in! Was already considering how not to continue supporting the regime with my money. How do we get this going?

Not a criminal attorney but I have to think that the bar for a conflict is a lot lower with a defense attorney than a prosecutor. If the accused consents then that should be the end of it.

Which is also why MAGA is convinced everyone is getting paid - because, once again, with them every accusation is a confession.

It only really works if you’re tall and thin though. Not medium height and kind of round-ish, like me. But I love to look at him. ❤️

Relatedly, as loyal 60 Min watchers (it seemed like the last news show standing up to the regime on the regular) this week was the first one we deliberately didn’t watch.

When you are pure of heart no amount of earnestness is Cringe. When you are a malevolent little freak no amount of sarcasm is enough to make you cool

Absolutely monstrous. How do they not see the parallels to the Nazis? Or they do and they just don’t care?

Elaborating b/c there's a lot of misunderstanding on this.

Insurrection Act does nothing except you can then use soldiers as cops. They can enforce laws, but they're the same old laws. It doesn't suspend the Constitution. No martial law, no closing courts, no removing state officials, none of that.

Andy Craig @andycraig.bsky.social · 1d

Even if he did, which I'd bet is likelier than not, none of this is true. The Insurrection Act is not a declaration of martial law. It doesn't close the courts. It doesn't suspend habeas corpus. It means you can use the military to enforce federal laws, but the laws themselves remain the same.

Trump: "I'm allowed as you know as president, like 50% of the presidents have used the Insurrection Act. Everybody agrees you're allowed to use that and there is no more court cases, there is no more anything. We're trying to do it in a nicer manner, but we can always use the Insurrection Act."

Agreed, but also - dems have to keep running against Trump because HE’S STILL RUNNING. He’s putting out “Trump 2028” gear and showing every indication that he doesn’t think he’s going anywhere.

I’ve seen just one counter-protester at No Kings San Diego. He’s got a Trump 2024 flag and this guy has been following him around for probably an hour playing Benny Hill and circus music.

Administrators at Indiana University baselessly fired the student media director and ordered the student paper to cease its print edition, so it'd sure be a shame if this excellent digital front page were to be widely shared today

Polished doesn’t mean inauthentic. There are plenty of politicians who are both polished and authentic - look at Bill Clinton. Ok, maybe a bad example - how about Obama? But R’s have chosen a walking id as their leader.
