precisely my thought. the president and his dumbass republican allies put these men and women into harm’s way for a political stunt and look what has happened
Whether this was random street crime or targeted political violence, I think it was bad for the president to unnecessarily put the National Guard in harm’s way like this. They simply don’t need to be there.

At this point, I wonder if he isn't lying when he says he has "my highest Poll Numbers, ever" since it's entirely possible that's what his aides are telling him. It's quite likely that there's an entire Potemkin village built around Trump right now.

This is identical to Russia invading Ukraine. Illegally invading a country for their resources and likely killing thousands—if not more—is immoral and should not be supported by anyone with any shred of moral conscience.

If NBC News is saying this shit it really really makes it that much harder to pretend there's any audience on Twitter whatsoever. The 9 real humans left on that platform just farting in the same room over and over just constant Dutch ovens
X's new location transparency feature shows that a slew of MAGA-branded accounts are apparently based outside the U.S., and also stirred speculative outrage over where the Department of Homeland Security account was created.

Kelly is I think going for it. I have him in the large pile of Dems I’d be perfectly happy with as President
Mark Kelly: "The message he sent a couple days ago was he declared that loyalty to the Constitution is now punishable by death. Those are serious words coming from the president. He's trying to intimidate us. But I'm not going to be intimidated."

I'm a recovering heroin addict and the Twitter-cooked people make my addiction look like amateur hour.

Nazis weren't enough. Proof Elon thumbs the algo not enough. 2 likes on posts from 100K 'follower' accounts not enough. And now this shit. What's it gonna take?
If you’re a journalist who’s still on Twitter, from now on in your writing you have to replace “the American people want” with “troll bots in Eastern Europe demand”

Being there makes your judgment suspect. I don’t care how savvy you think you are, you’re marinating in a disinformation campaign.

Every now and then people forget that Calla is (a) an actual, convicted domestic terrorist and (b) open about being a paid propagandist for the PRC. No post of hers has much capacity to shock if you keep these two facts in mind.

I have a brilliant idea on how to counter Russia and China. We could focus on building up our partners in Asia and the ongoing conventional fucking war in Europe instead of a pointless war in South America.

Someone make me a senior fellow. This shit's easy as hell.
Cracks me up how you could just replace Venezuela and Venezuelans with Iraq and Iraqis and it’d be indistinguishable from something written in 2002

The Zohran press conference is your regular reminder that the entire administration folds like tissue paper at the slightest hint of confidence and conviction, and thus the fact that national democrats are playing a game of capitulation and weakness is exactly why they're all getting away with it

Periodic reminder to the media and the Dems and the Universities that standing up to Trump and sticking to your guns earns you a lot more respect from this guy than just handing your money and balls to him in a shoebox

New from me: I talked to CDC staffers about the new vaccines and autism page. They said things like:

“The best way I can put it is it feels like we’re on a hijacked airplane.”

“I think people are starting to see that we can’t fulfill our mission here.”

Someone in the house should introduce an impeachment resolution against RFK
Breaking News: Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said he personally instructed the CDC to abandon its position that vaccines do not cause autism. The move underscores his determination to challenge scientific orthodoxy — in this case, that vaccines save lives — and bend the health department to his will.

Leaks of the 28 point peace plan are circulating right now and I cannot even begin to articulate how bad it is for everyone except Russia. It literally states that NATO will not expand ANYMORE
NEW: Trump's full 28-point Ukraine-Russia peace plan would force Kyiv to give up additional territory in the east, cap the size of its military, and agree it will never join NATO
Exclusive: Trump's full 28-point Ukraine-Russia peace plan
The full plan was obtained by Axios and verified by Ukrainian and U.S. officials.
