I can't get enough of it!

I think the technocrats behind Vance have a plan for that. I'm not sure they even need Trump's base any longer.
True. But I'll still be very happy to see him gone
If you're arrested in Illinois protesting the planned ICE HQ in North Chicago, I can represent you pro bono. Email me at sheryl@weikallaw.com. As always, I will take as many cases as I can.
Would rather see them doing this than terrorizing citizens
This is so perfectly stated.
Despicable. He wants harm to come to her.
Dear Milwaukee,place garlic vines around your doors and never ever invite them in
“The Texas Supreme Court dismissed Paxton’s motion. Paxton was trying to reverse the ruling from an El Paso court that had issued a restraining order against Paxton”
Welch: Everybody's missing the point here. The point is, he's doing this on purpose. He's priming the public to get accustomed to having the military in the streets
Why can’t people see that the level of incompetence in this administration has lead to irreparable harm & more is to come?!
The Lincoln Project has been calling out Republicans for years. But the time for that has past. It is too late to hope for a change in the Republican party. The only way out of this is with a strong pro democracy movement and that will only be led by Democrats
If the Democratic Party intends to win this fight, it must stop functioning solely as a party & instead step into its moment in history: to lead a pro-democracy movement capable of confronting this authoritarian threat. https://www.lincolnsquare.media/p/stand-up-america-the-time-for-a-pro?r=2lckc
Bring on the pain. Maybe the morons will wake up
They should have done exactly as they did. Americans need to wake up and realize what is happening before our very eyes. They would have garnered zero attention from the media by staying and they would not have achieved any significant results by doing so. They can and should stand tall and proud
I have always thought this was the plan.
Brutal. A humiliation ritual.
Fancy
I'm here too. I've always been respectful. No more.
My current favorite bit of right-wing Christian hypocrisy is Ken Paxton, a man whose wife is divorcing him for adultery, forcing Texas schools to unconstitutionally post "Thou Shalt Not Commit Adultery." www.houstonchronicle.com/news/houston...
But I thought Elon was a business genius?
Last week Trump said he likes the idea of starting a war so he can declare “no more elections” and stay in office forever. Today he just said “a lot of people” want “a dictator.” See where this is going?
Walz: "It boggles my damn mind that in the midst of a military takeover of our cities, the flaunting of the rule of law, that the press finds the need to talk about, 'Oh, there's a division in the Dem Party.' There's a division in my damn house & we're still married and things are good. That's life"
Pritzker: This is not about fighting crime. This is about the President and his complicit lackey, Stephen Miller, searching for ways to lay the groundwork to circumvent our democracy, militarize our cities, and end elections.
Agree

Catering? No one was catering to Liz Cheney. You really think having one of the remaining sane Republicans endorse her was a significant reason for the loss?
Game on.
Too many people latched on to the tiny moment when it looked like his supporters might waver.. and then the moment passed. They won't break with him and everyone needs to stop hoping for it
We are all just so crushed. Not sure how we will cope really.
Where is the "I can't vote for Harris b/c Gaza" crowd now. Happy with your choice?
"The Israeli army confirmed the existence of the database, which is managed by the Military Intelligence Directorate (known by the Hebrew acronym 'Aman'). ...
Christian hypocrites? Say it ain't so 😂
I do know.
She was convicted by a jury. Wtf?
Instead of really being the Party of Small Government, Republicans are the Party of Big Busybodies.
How might they want to use this information 🤔
I did. I really did need this. Thank you
Newsom: I mean, even poor Kid Rock — these guys, they’ve gotten a little precious, haven’t they? The folks at Fox are like, “Oh, this is so unbecoming of a governor. Oh, oh.” And meanwhile, they sit there reading his tweets every single day. Are they really that out of touch?
Just wow. At least they are speaking their truth out loud. This way we know we are dealing with psychopaths
Texas Senator Roland Gutierrez calling it like he sees it in Austin tonight. #FreeNicole
It's naive to think they weren't already doing this.
Huge really

One doctor’s recommendation to deny a 43-year-woman coverage “contained errors on practically every aspect” of her condition, the Labor Department said in 2012. United and other insurers continued to hire the doctor over the next decade. (Published Dec. 2024)
I'm so very ashamed of my country.
It's not that I don't appreciate your passionate defense of Schiff here, but where have you been? This administration doesn't give any f's about "inquiries" or "admonitions".

He could remind people by telling them, not wasting energy asking for information from anyone in the administration. Their answer to his inquiry will be "F O" why bother?
Agree. The response he will get from Hegseth will be "fuck you" and we all know it. Waste of time
And the response he will get from Hegseth will be "fuvk you, that's why". What a waste of time and energy.
Who cares what @lwvus.bsky.social thinks about anything?

A DRAMATIC READING BY @gavinnewsom.bsky.social OF HIS INFAMOUS ALL CAPS TWEET DISCUSSING LIBERATION DAY FOR AMERICA
Fing loving this! More please!
He's on fire right now and I love it
I threw the sandwich, but I did not throw the condiments I threw the sandwich, but I didn't throw the condiments All around Washington D.C. They're trying to track me down They say they want to bring me in guilty For the spilling of some mayonnaise For wasting all the dijon, but I say
Armed Trump administration agents wearing masks just showed up outside of Gavin Newsom’s press conference. This is what rising fascism looks like.
Newsom: "He doesn't play by a different set of rules. He doesn't believe in the rules. As a consequence, we need to disabuse ourselves of the way things have been done. It's not enough to just hold hands, have a candlelight vigil, talk about way the world should be...we have got to meet fire w/fire"
YES! About damn time someone called the press on their BS double standard! I'm loving this version of Gavin Newsom
I always felt he should have challenged that outcome, the margin was razor thin. Powered by People has been doing great work since that time
Check out Powered by People, started by Beto O'Rourke, they are doing great work
Beto O'Rourke. Powered by People. Doing great work.
True. What did help explain that is voter intimidation and suppression. You would have to see what happens every statewide election in dem cities, deliberately making it very hard to vote
That is not a dog. That is a whippet 😍
First rate!
Yes but she crossed the border and was taken when coming back. Not saying she deserved it because of course she doesn't. But warning everyone it is not safe to travel to or from this country.
I believe these things too
The President commandeered local law enforcement and they allowed it. The President told the Smithsonian to delete any history he doesn't want represented and they are complying. The monthly BLS job report is required by what? Tired of hearing what he can't do while he is getting away with doing it.
DHS is reporting over 100,000 applicants to join ICE in the last week. If this is true, it's heartbreaking.
Is anyone listening? This is what facism is.
Yup. bsky.app/profile/wins...
Maybe someone should call @jaketapper.bsky.social
@betoorourke.bsky.social: "When Trump called GA Republicans after the 2020 election and said, 'Hey, will you find me 11,000 votes?' they said, 'The hell with that. Absolutely not.' When he called Texas Republicans and said, 'Find me 5 congressional seats,' they said, 'How soon do you want them?'"
Texas Republicans used to proudly assert their independence. Now they take pride in being Trump's little bitches.
I always ask people who said they didn't vote because of this issue, how's it going in Gaza now? Better?
Is it possible they worry that what motivates voters comes from lies,racist propaganda, and systemic erosion of education? Maybe they are reticent to motivate voters with rage and hatred? 🤔
Hope and unity. And hope just doesn't sell tickets like rage does. Now we have plenty to be truly enraged about and they dont know how to use that. I hope they learn.
Oh please. There is nothing silent,secret,or even new here. R's have been using this formula long before social media. Manufacture outrage,turn it to hatred and spread it as far and deep as possible. It's not that D's can't figure out algo's, it's that they have positioned themselves as the party of
Why is it always "risky" or "reckless" when Dems do something,but "strategic" and "clever" when Republicans do the same thing?
They have no spine, unfortunately
🤣
That would be fantastic! For Mamdani.
I hope NY kicks his sorry butt to the curb for forever
They have already chosen
Today we learned Andrew Cuomo is directly coordinating with Donald Trump, even as this President sends masked agents to rip our neighbors off the streets and guts the social services so many New Yorkers rely on. It’s disqualifying and a betrayal of our city.
I'm so ashamed of this country.
One of the many reasons I'll never watch CNN again
Jessica: I also heard no complaints when Mike Johnson decided to abdicate his job to say actually congress isn't in session anymore because I don't want to have to vote on turning over the Epstein files…. so be equal opportunity in your complaints about fleeing your job
