Here's the indictment of Adrian Martinez, the kid who was brutally assaulted by agents after calling out their kidnapping of a guy he worked with. They left out his 1A speech and the assault, among other things. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
Of course
It wasn’t likely to be true, but I do think that if the American people sense that his passing is imminent that it will erode his power and more notably his hold over the MAGA cult. That’s maybe the real significance. Still, we manifest. And send DoorDash McDonald’s to POTUS c/o the White House.
Bottle of champagne for the special occasion has been purchased. 🍾🥂
Thanks to SCOTUS.
Somebody send 500 quarter pounders to the White House stat! With fries!
Not me. I’m going to flood the White House with DoorDashed McDonald’s double quarter pounder meals - super sized - until the president understands just how much we appreciate him. 🍟🍔🥤🧂🧂🧂🧂🧂🧂🧂🧂🧂
“You cannot pretend as if he did not try and stay in power the last time he lost an election. That actually happened.” Abby Phillip & @mizzwelch.bsky.social refuse to let the Republicans on the panel pretend Trump is not a threat to our democracy. 🇺🇸
Yup
The late not-so-great Kid Blob o’ Rancid Mayo!
If your government benefits are getting cut - like SNAP, Medicaid, VA drug benefits, etc. And you're wondering why you're not seeing benefits from all the cuts in waste and spending.... I got bad news for you... You ARE the waste and spending they're cutting. Sit with that a while.
Woke - anything that leads one to see others who don’t look, sound or believe like one does as still fellow humans worthy of kindness and compassion.
Imagine missing the whole point so thoroughly. Embarrassing.
You see Christopher, a “parody” is an imitation of the style of a particular writer, artist, or genre with deliberate exaggeration for comic effect. Hope that was helpful.
Armed Trump administration agents wearing masks just showed up outside of Gavin Newsom’s press conference. This is what rising fascism looks like.
See the man circled here? That's E.J. Antoni, Trump's Bureau of Labor Statistics nominee, walking through a crowd of Capitol rioters. #ICYMI, we've got an archive of 500+ Parler videos taken during Jan. 6. You can spot Antoni starting at around 1:41 here: projects.propublica.org/parler-capit...
I see stup id people. They don't know they're stup id.
It’s deeply pathetic that Senate Democrats are continuing to advance bipartisan funding bills while Trump unconstitutionally seizes the right to impound funds, and implements a police state. Murphy is absolutely right on this one.
Where will it be built?
But it's Trump's job to try to make sure they (Russia) don't.
Q: New reporting reveals Russia hacked U.S. federal court systems, Do you plan to bring this up with Putin? Trump: “I guess I could. Are you surprised? You know. Are you surprised? They hack in — that's what they do.” Traitor
“I've been around for a long time and it just seems that the economy does better under the Democrats than the Republicans.” - Donald J. Trump, 2004 CNN interview with Wolf Blitzer Oh, ya think?
Power corrupts. Absolute power corrupts absolutely.
But yes, business becomes more exploitative and hard as it may be to imagine, you lose your ability to acquire wealth as a worker. And with that loss, you also lose freedoms. If you can't afford to do something you, by definition, do not have the freedom to do that thing.
What is happening in America today? The more that wealth and power is concentrated into the hands of a few, the less power the rest of us have. And if those few are convinced, as they inevitably are, that their superiority stems from genetics, then racial turmoil is sure to follow too.
With Rupert M approaching his final breath, and 2/3 his heirs appearing to be of differing political views, coservatives are looking to establish CBS as the next outlet for pro-billionaire propaganda. Perhaps permanently since it is not a family-run business.

Look, if you go to a public event with your side piece and you end up on the kiss cam I think it should be obvious that your best course of action is to act like you're just any old boring couple. Right? That way you don't draw attention to yourselves, and it doesn't GO VIRAL.

Not to mention destabilizing to society as a whole? It feels like Bastille Day 2.0 is looming in the horizon and drawing nearer.
So serious question: why is it that whenever we change the economy in the name of EFFICIENCY, it always benefits the rich? Isn't giving more to people who already have more than they could possibly spend in 200 lifetimes while the vast majority are struggling inherently INEFFICIENT?

so epstein dies mysteriously and his client list is quashed and it all happens under the same president, is that the score?
Thanks to Elon Musk and Donald Trump.
“What Kelly didn’t mention, but which has since become well known, is that the Weather Service employee whose job it was to make sure those warnings got traction — Paul Yura, the long-serving meteorologist in charge of “warning coordination” — had recently taken an unplanned early retirementamid..”
Epstein had clients. You mean to tell me he had no contact list, no telephone list, etc. LOL
cnn editor: u got that story on ice? cnn reporter: sure did boss, real fuckin hypernormalized, just like u asked cnn editor: first of all, i love it
I really must be read to be believed.
oh my fucking god, this is awful. BECAUSE EVERYTHING IS POLITICAL when are people going to fucking realize climate change is already killing our children.
Freedom from kings. Freedom from fascism. Power to the people forever. ♥️ Happy Independence Day 🇺🇸
Again, you lied to your readers about your source. You falsely called him “an academic” and whitewashed the fact that he is a known proponent of racist eugenics — all while promoting his Substack with a hyperlink and striking a deal to obscure his publicly reported identity.
So Sarah McLachlan has her first album in something like 10 years coming out soon?
The Jan 6 insurrection should’ve been the red line resulting in the orange felon being sent to prison, yet he was given full totalitarian power over the govt. Congress died when they chose to let him and his 147 insurrectionists in Congress get away with it.
If there was ever a time to call your Senator, this is it. Voting has begun on the GOP plan to cut off health care for working-class Americans and slash taxes for the wealthiest.
is this bad
Priscilla Chan’s decision to stop funding the school she opened to help struggling families shows the risks for communities reliant on wealthy private donors.
Yes, he even took up baking. Another wholesome hobby!
Yesterday I was so PROUD to stand with LGBTQ+ New Yorkers alongside my friend and our Democratic nominee for Mayor, @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social!
Mark and Melissa lie peacefully at the center of our state and our hearts today. Their memorial, guarded by service dogs and men and women in uniform, casts a momentary shadow over L'Étoile du Nord as we honor their life’s work to make Minnesota shine brighter for all.
The Republican attacks on working people's health care continue. The Republican justices on the Supreme Court are denying Medicaid recipients the right to go to Planned Parenthood for cancer screenings, physicals, and birth control.
Trump's economic policies are failing. Honestly it's likely to snowball - especially if Republicans pass the BBB.
Donnie Tacos is again trying to pick a fight with our neighbors to the north. Just days after ICE unalived one of their citizens. We're so sorry #Canada
In case you find yourself needing to do some art projects in LA or Chicago.
DEAN: What's the tariff on bananas? LUTNICK: Generally 10% DEAN: Walmart has already increased the cost of bananas by 8% LUTNICK: If you build in America, there is no tariff DEAN: We cannot build bananas in America

Every Apple receipt should itemize the Trump tariff charge.
Apple will just pass the tax burden to its customers and raise prices. If you buy a new phone, Trump just raised your taxes. 25% on a $1,000 phone is $250 more. So his billionaire friends can (say it with me now) get enormous tax breaks.
The CDC has not issued an alert since March. And, no, it's not because there aren't viral outbreaks.

Today’s verdicts are a devastating miscarriage of justice. The world watched as Tyre Nichols was beaten to death by those sworn to protect and serve. That brutal, inhumane assault was captured on video, yet the officers responsible were acquitted.
Casar: "The party of 'very fine people on both sides' or 'Jewish space lasers' does not give a damn about stopping antisemitism. If my Republican colleagues want to stop the spread of antisemitism, maybe they should stop apologizing for and promoting antisemites."

I'm inviting Secretary McMahon to the Senate for a public forum next week. If McMahon thinks destroying public education is a good idea, she should have no problem showing up and giving us some answers.
And buff arms are for people who do more than putter around a golf course.
May Trump’s push for mass deportations do for the Republican Party nationally what Pete Wilson’s push for mass deportations did for them in California.
It’s a disaster BECAUSE he controlled the House and Senate. He had no opposition party to save him from his own idiocy.
Raskin: The lowest 100 day approval rating since polling began. He controlled the agenda. He controlled the House, the Senate— he’s got everything going for him and his numbers are in the gutter
Roger Parloff on the "evidence" that Abrego Garcia is a gang member: "It's double hearsay stemming from a document written by somebody indicted for misconduct."
It's rich of Republicans to accuse folks of not knowing what a woman is, when they sure as 💩 wouldn't know due process if it bit them. Or the presumption of innocence. Or the rule of law. Or principles. Or decency. Or empathy. Or kindness. Or humanity.
.@timmiller.bsky.social on Sen. Murkowski: "The political environment is so fraught that you as a U.S. senator are scared to speak out...Why are you supporting the people that are creating that environment?"
🚨A U.S. born citizen was arrested in Florida for entering the state as an “unauthorized alien.” His mother and a community advocate showed his birth certificate during a hearing in Leon County. The judge said she had no authority to release him.
I think what’s most striking about the last few months is how rarely anyone in the GOP applies this simple test. A lot of checks and balances rely on this kind of worrying about precedent but it’s now totally absent, as if they don’t think they’ll ever be out of power again.
September 2024
possibly for life.
im sorry to be so divisive and partisan but i dont think the government should be inventing a criminal history out of thin air to justify sending someone to a concentration camp in a foreign country
I won’t share RFK Jr.’s lies about autism. It’s disgusting and dangerous. If he had a shred of decency, he would apologize and resign. Autistic people contribute every day to our nation’s greatness. To every kid with autism, I’m in this fight all the way for you.
Republicans are right: if you don’t like a Supreme Court decision, you can just ignore it - like the Trump administration just did. Hobbs is dead. Let the abortions commence!!
Evil, I think, is the absence of empathy." -Captain G. M. Gilbert, the Army psychologist assigned to watching the defendants at the Nuremberg trials
"In my work with the defendants (at the Nuremberg Trials 1945-1949) | was searching for the nature of evil and I now think I have come close to defining it. A lack of empathy. It's the one characteristic that connects all the defendants, a genuine incapacity to feel with their fellow men.
I don't care how many junior staffs Hegseth or others throw under the bus. Hegseth HIMSELF was on the Signal group chat. He used his fingers to enter the sensitive military info into the chat. He bears 100% full responsibility for that -- no matter how many scapegoats he finds.
We had the reporter on tonight; @maddow has the whistleblower
AOC: I saw on Fox, Jeanine Pirro says that they found so many babies and two year olds and four year olds receiving social security. I got a notice for you Jeanine Pirro: those babies receive social security because their parents died. That’s not a waste. That’s humanity. That’s America.
That’s Andrew Tate and he got “facilitated” out of Romania, not El Salvador, by the White House no problem.
Got a new one today when the press secretary accused him of being a "human trafficker" just absolutely out of thin air!
Hopefully longer than 4 years.
Oh my god you want me to find "evidence" before putting someone in jail? Every time?? Do you have any idea how long that would take
I want to tell you why the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia should matter to you. The one power you cannot give the executive is the ability to imprison or expel anyone regardless of their legal rights. That is our key check against autocracy. And we are watching it disappear.
I never got the sense that anybody feared Trump. They might fear his unhinged followers though.
Let’s be clear. When the President defies the Supreme Court, it is the role of Congress to remove him from office. Full stop.
The Senator will be my guest tonight on @allinwithchris.bsky.social
Abrego Garcia's wife: "I will not stop fighting until I see my husband alive. Kilmar, if you can hear me, stay strong. God hasn't forgotten about you. Our children are asking when you will come home ... they miss their dad so much."
