Were you to ask Leavitt etc, they would identify themselves as patriots whose beliefs rest on the country’s foundation. But with their talk of demons and evil, they are framing reality in a way that would justify Donald Trump’s campaign for fascist power. adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/tragedy-br...

Pritzker: "No one in the administration -- the president or anybody under him -- has called anyone in my administration or me. It's clear that in secret they're are planning this invasion with US troops."
It is tempting to view the freezing of federal research grants to UCLA as a continuation of the Donald Trump's attacks on elite private institutions. But this also marks a new stage in his shakedown of universities. He devastates universities in states that voted against him.
CAP ECON: “We obviously have no particular insight into whether the Supreme Court will uphold .. If it did, “Treasury would .. need to return most of the now-close to $100bn in additional customs duties .. and there is a danger .. other countries would back-track on any preliminary agreements.”
Too bad. That’s what happens when you break a law. That what happens when you surround yourself with sycophants who are unwilling to say ‘No’. ‘Move fast and break things’ is a private sector thug, not a government thing. Restitution is a b….
“Engaging in this”? Engage in what, exactly, Mike? The truth that Louisiana has a higher crime rate than California? Easier to deflect than to explain why his state is less safe than California.👇
"January 6 survivor and former MPD Officer Michael Fanone launches a campaign demanding that federal officers remove their masks, advocating for transparency." Check out our new D.C. campaign demanding federal agents take off their mask! @ofthebraveusa.bsky.social www.wusa9.com/article/news...
When a president decides to disregard the will of the American people, you’re right, that’s the mark of authoritarian rule. The White House has notified Congress that it plans to cancel $4.9 billion in foreign aid funding that lawmakers had already approved, doing so without their consent.
Huge news - appeals court rules that a majority of the President’s tariffs are illegal. The President is wreaking havoc on our economy, and he is breaking the law to do it. We must right this ship. We need sane trade policy again.
“The Happiest Place On Earth” is a trademarked phrase of the Disney company. Otherwise I might be tempted to use it to describe Cato today after the appeals court struck down the tariffs. @cato.org
Ouch. Did something similar. Except I went to the bathroom after cutting up jalapeño’s. I don’t encourage anyone else to do that either… 😩
Still disgusting to see ‘official’ US Department accounts being used like this for pure propaganda purposes.
Must be fake news. I was told energy prices would be cut in half within a year. youtu.be/lCV3LZZHnZU?...

“…I am infuriated that the Air Force plans to grant military funeral honors to Ashli Babbitt. She did not die defending the Constitution. She died trying to overturn it.” My latest in @thebulwark.com www.thebulwark.com/p/honoring-a...
We want to apologize if it feels like we’ve been venting a lot lately. It’s just hard to ignore that nearly every move from this administration seems to be illegal, unlawful, or outright unconstitutional and yet nothing happens.

Hey Mark- Told one of my chiropractic patients about Cost Plus Drugs last week and your mission after he complained a skin cancer medicine was going to cost him $1700- He found it on your website for under $20- for real. Best project ever. @costplusdrugs.com
Dr. Demetre Daskalakis, who resigned from the CDC, revealed that RFK Jr. has NEVER been briefed by CDC experts on measles, flu, or Covid: “No one from my center has ever briefed him on any of those topics…He’s getting his information from somewhere”
“I didn’t want to believe at first that it was gunshots, but immediately my husband knew." A Minneapolis couple who live a block from Annunciation Catholic School and church recall the moments after they heard the gunfire from their home.
Between RFK decimating the CDC, normalizing Ashli Babbitt & the umpteenth school shooting... I'm losing the will to post. #ReleaseTheEPSTEIN_Files
Don’t look away
"Perhaps most insidiously, Trump suggested that Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem should deport any immigrant who dares to burn the US flag — a legal exercise of the right to expressive speech which is protected by the Constitution." — @lizdye.bsky.social
"One can try to look away from the abyss for a while. But when the diversions end, one can’t help but see that we’re heading straight towards it."
Here he goes.
NEW: Dozens of staff members and leaders at the CDC staged a walkout today in response to the internal shake-up of top federal health officials.
This is insulting to everyone who served. More: www.facebook.com/share/p/1G6Y...
CDC scientists receive a heroes welcome after walking out today.
A cult of personality. What could go wrong?
Multiple CDC leaders have resigned in the wake of layoffs and a shooting at the agency’s headquarters this month.
"'We’re back to a very pandemic-feeling city. There are fewer people going to work, fewer people walking around, fewer cars, reservations are down, events have been canceled.'" Thank Trump.
Donald Trump recently said that he has “the right” to do anything he wants—not unlike the antagonistic Homelander of the TV show "The Boys"—and his followers are determined to prove him right, @radiofreetom.bsky.social argues in The Atlantic Daily:
A #Minneapolis mother rushed to work on Wednesday at #Hennepin Healthcare's #ICU to help with the influx of school shooting victims, "before knowing it was her children's school that was attacked, and that her #daughter was critically injured," a GoFundMe page states:
On Trump's zeal for honoring Ashli Babbitt, call it felon-to-felon fellow feeling.
💯 this.👇
"What distinguishes Trump’s version of state capitalism is its randomness. This isn’t like the Chinese govt deciding to subsidize solar panel production — even if you don’t like the idea of govt exercising that much control, at least there one understands the objective." — @paulwaldman.bsky.social
Trump prosecutors in L.A. and D.C. have been striking out before grand juries in politically charged cases. That's encouraging, says my colleague @foxmike90.bsky.social

Gov. Wes Moore: “I’m not a simp. I’m a soldier, and I’m not just going to kowtow…And if you are deliberately coming after our folks…my job is to make sure that our people are going to be okay…I will work with anyone, but I will bow down to no one.”
Our President keeps insisting prices are going to drop by 1400%, 1000%, or some other number that’s mathematically impossible. That he can’t do simple math isn’t the problem, it’s that he’s lying to America while things are getting more expensive because of his bad choices.
Listening to this little boy talk about how his friend saved him from the shooter by laying on top of him broke my heart. All the good and bad in humanity in one sentence.

This interview, which is also available to listen to as a podcast, provides a useful overview of some of the dangerous trends we’ve been seeing in recent months regarding federalization and militarization of state and local police functions.
The corporate euphemisms for price hikes are hilarious. Urban Outfitters: "gentle" price adjustments Victoria's Secret: "evolving promotional approach" Hormel: "targeted pricing actions” @wsj.com $HRL www.wsj.com/business/ear...
It’s always so easy to laugh at this, but it’s not funny. For 3hrs today, grown men & women all took turns getting down on their knees, fellating their dear leader. In front of the cameras. It’s sad. It’s gross. It’s North Korea. It shouldn’t happen here.
For so many parents, the images out of Minnesota are like watching their worst nightmare. And our kids have to live that nightmare. Every day. We must act. And the cowards who refuse should be voted out.

Moore: "The thing that gets me most about this is how deeply disrespectful this is to members of the National Guard who signed up for this job as I did when I deployed overseas & led paratroopers in combat where we signed up w/the expectation the commander in chief was actually taking it seriously"
Two children were killed and seventeen people were injured in a shooting at Annunciation Catholic School. A Cracker Barrel logo change received far more scrutiny and attention than any fight against the epidemic of gun violence in this country. Our priorities remain idiotic.
"I will judge Bolton when I see what allegations emerge from this investigation, if any, and when I can evaluate the evidence in support of those allegations. But I don’t need to wait that long to judge the FBI’s conduct."
Frey: And don't just say, this is about thoughts and prayers right now. These kids were literally praying. It was the first week of school. They were in a church.
RULE ABOUT AMERICAN FLAGS: If you burn the fabric part, you're looking at jail. But it you use the pole part to assault a police officer, you get a presidential pardon, praise, and some cash.
Can you clarify which EO you are referring to? He’s getting close to the record, so it’s hard to keep track of His Highness’s royal decrees.

I’ll take things that never happened for $500.
We can't allow ourselves to become numb to mass shootings. What happened today in Minneapolis is heartbreaking, and Michelle and I are praying for the parents who have lost a child or will be sitting at their hospital bedside after yet another act of unspeakable, unnecessary violence.

It appears this Aakash Singh worked for Sen. Tillis and is a 2017 law grad. He needs to be infamous.
Pritzker: Over the last four years, we have seen homicides drop in half. That’s something the President should pay attention to. I know he doesn’t read but I know he watches TV so perhaps if someone from Fox or Newsmax is here
We are very far off the cliff here folks. 🇺🇸

"For those people out there who ... say, 'Well, I just don't like those people either' ... You could be next. ... This is not about any one individual, this is about our rights as Americans, and our right to have a justice system where choices about prosecuting are made without fear or favor."

Who are the socialists again?
Trump was released on cashless bail 3 times in 2023
My heart breaks into 10,000 pieces once again.
Can you please provide a source for this story?
A man at Trump’s golf club used an American flag as a drape covering for Trump “art,” then wadded it up in front of Trump, and then placed it in a chair behind him. Trump was so concerned about flag desecration that he didn’t say anything about it.
The second amendment guarantees the right to a militia to guard against federal tyranny. But if a president can use that force against its own state, against the wishes of that state, then it is no militia at all and a clear violation of the second amendment.
I thought MAGA hated socialism. Yet, here we are, an actual example of the partial governmental ownership of a private firm. WTF!?
Ironically, pretrial release of one criminal defendant in particular is substantially responsible for where we are today.
The prolonged public torturing of a single man because the state cannot admit to its errors is not something that occurs in a free country
