"It is past time for both Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer to step down and step aside. This fascist moment, this age of Trump, demands outspoken, unrelenting and fearless opposition... we all deserve better." I make the case, in my latest for The Guardian, for new leadership:
Davies: The truth is Epstein had a free pass. He bragged about his powerful friends, including our current President Donald Trump. It was his biggest brag actually.
A reminder that Trump called Baltimore a 'hellhole' today to no controversy or scandalous headlines. Imagine a Democratic president calling a red state or red city a hellhole. Just imagine. Oh, the double standards.
COMMENTARY: If this was happening in another nation, we'd call it by name. It's authoritarianism.
Pritzker: "He has no idea what's he's talking about. There is no emergency that warrants deployment of troops. He is insulting the people of Chicago by calling our home a hellhole, and anyone that takes his word at face value is insulting Chicagoans too."
The president is sending the military to control American cities and if you're a reporter who's framing that illegal power grab as "pushing the boundaries of constitutionality" or "acting boldly to fight crime" or whatever, please go find another line of work where you won't get us all killed.
I know, I know, but: The president of the US saying, literally, "we're going in" in reference to sending the military to an American city for no reason beyond terrorizing the local population should be the most immediately impeachable shit imaginable
Pritzker: "It breaks my heart to report that we have been told ICE will try to disrupt community picnics and peaceful parades. Let's be clear -- the terror and cruelty is the point, not the safety of anybody living here."
Pritzker: "When did we become a country where it's ok for the US president to insist on national television that a state should call him to beg for anything? Especially something we don't want. Have we truly lost all sense of sanity in this nation that we treat this as normal?"
Jesse Watters: “You weren’t ever on Jeffrey Epstein’s jet, were you?” RFK Jr: “I was on Jeffrey Epstein’s jet two times.” Release the freaking Epstein Files. Believe the survivors and their families. We want accountability.
And who eroded that trust? These people are trash
Well this really aligns with his goal of getting a Nobel
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."
Dr. Dmitri Daskalakis, who resigned from the CDC says that RFKJr said he believes that Avian flu should be allowed to "burn through" the chickens and then children and others, so we can propagate a "stronger species". RFKJr believes in eugenics. RFKJr needs to resign or be fired.
I wish Biden had just fired Trump appointees in independent federal agencies left and right. It would have forced the SCOTUS to address these issues with a Democratic president, and then those would have been precedents that would be more awkward for the Court to backtrack (w/o looking obvious)
After a shooting, and this is what they’re focused on 🤦♀️
Welch: He claims that he's the law and order president. But we all know that's a lie because he's a convicted felon. He pardons convicted felons, he surrounds himself with obsequious people that kiss his all day, every day
Ashley Babbit dishonored her service by committing insurrection against her country. While her death is absolutely tragic and I wish it hadn’t happened, the Air Force giving her honors is in itself a dishonor.
One of the worst people in this admin. A dangerous looney
I dare you to go to Annunciation School and tell our grieving community, in effect, guns don’t kill kids, antidepressants do. Just shut up. Stop peddling bullshit. You should be fired.
if i were on this deployment i would be pissed. these people have actual jobs! and here they are, walking around picking upt rash.
Girl…. This is embarrassing.
this stuff is such a disgrace. a free citizen of a free country should be ashamed to engage in it.
Walz says Harris "would have been a fantastic president... we wouldn't wake up every day to a bunch of shit on TV. We would wake up to an adult w/ compassion & dignity doing the work, not a manchild crying about whatever is wrong with him. May his fat ankles find something today. Petty as hell."
Yet if they don’t count immigrants in this one, they won’t get that seat
They gaslit you all throughout the election.
A half dozen armed goons brutally attacked a man FOR EATING IN PUBLIC?
this is not a deportation, they are disappearing him
Do you know how insane and infuriating it is to live in a country where one party claims, with media and public support, the mantle of being the ‘tough on crime’ party while its leader openly calls for convicted criminals to be released from prison ‘or else’?
Sen. Ossoff: “I think it's embarrassing for the Vice President to be coming to Georgia to sell a policy that is already resulting in harm to hospitals in the state of Georgia.”
Because nothing says “you should feel free to come visit Washington” like standing in front of dozens of armed soldiers next to a guy who thinks women shouldn’t be able to vote 🙃
Boston Mayor Michelle Wu: “Silence in the face of oppression is not an option. The U.S. Attorney General asked for a response by today. So here it is…Stop attacking our cities to hide your administration's failures.”
We are beyond proud of Fort Worth State Rep. Nicole Collier for standing up to ridiculous GOP bullying! Full talk: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/b...
Democrats will crawl over glass to vote
Trump is the weakest man alive. His posts just exemplify that
Or why the governors race is called when 5% of the vote is in
Crow: "Look at what happened. US military personnel in uniform literally were on hands & knees rolling out a red carpet for the most murderous dictator of the 21st century...we keep on acting like Putin deserves to be brought out in open like any of head of state. This is a historic embarrassment."
So weak
@gavinnewsom.bsky.social: "This guy is trying to get a Nobel Peace Prize? When he's bringing war to the American people? He sent the United States Marines into the United States of America."
madness, no coming back from this without repercussions for the entire chain of command
So deeply embarrassing for the United States. Trump legitimized Putin and his illegal war on the world stage and got absolutely nothing in return. Not even a single step toward peace. Everyone involved in this charade should be ashamed.
Brett Meiselas: Trump sending the National Guard into LA wasn’t about immigration or riots. Into DC wasn’t about crime. Attacks on Harvard weren’t about anti-Semitism. This is all about capturing our government, culture, and society. An authoritarian power grab. Wake the f— up.
Vladeck: There’s one video showing a DEA officer telling a D.C. resident he couldn’t drink alcohol on his porch—D.C. law says exactly the opposite. It also highlights how these officers aren’t even trained in the laws they’re purportedly enforcing.
ICE used your taxpayer dollars to trick out a bunch of trucks in new livery, all painted black with "ICE" and a logo printed in gold on the side (and Trump's name in gold on the back window), then shoot a rap video in DC to post on social media. I am not making this up.
Sure sounds like the administration using law enforcement to break up the rallies of his political opponents... Not fascist at all, nope.
Newsom: "He's a failed president. Who else sends ICE at the same time we're having a conversation like this? Someone who's weak. Someone who's broken. Someone whose weakness is masquerading as strength."
I'll say it a thousand times -- any account of the past that only celebrates the good parts of a nation without reckoning with the bad is not what we call "history" It is propaganda, pure and simple.
5 days ago he was underwater and poor and now he's pretty gosh darn good, and nothing's changed except trump said to watch him? bsky.app/profile/acyn...
Genuinely incredible that she's saying this with 2 accused rapists on either side of her
Inslee: If you need more energy, the dumbest thing you can do is disallow access to wind, solar, and advanced batteries—three of the most productive ways of producing new energy. And yet, that’s exactly what he’s done.
Wouldn’t his excuse just rile up the Trump base even more to release the files? I thought Bowman was smart
i thought the line was that this was a democrat hoax?
Well Illinois was also undercounted
Is the coming American line going to be that Russia "earned" the parts of Ukraine they stole via an illegal invasion?
i didn't get into it in my essay on this speech, but beyond the basic incoherence of vance's assorted grievances, i'm struck by how ungrateful *he* is, a man who owes his fame and fortune to the open, cosmopolitan society he is trying to destroy for the sake of power
It’s so tacky and ugly
Pritzker: "It's cheating. Donald Trump is a cheater. He cheats on his wives. He cheats at golf. And now he's trying to cheat the American people out of their votes."
Democracy Defenders Fund wants to know who at DOJ determined that Ghislaine Maxwell, a convicted sex offender, could be transferred to a minimum-security prison camp. The group has filed a FOIA request for records about the transfer — including from Pam Bondi and Todd Blanche. tinyurl.com/4sj4uzyn
@crockett.house.gov: "They pledge their fealty to some idiot who's obviously struggling mentally. Whether it's mental decline or whether he's ever had the capacity, they decided they're going to do whatever he wants them to do.. I never thought I'd see the day that a Texan would bow down to a NYer."
@genefortexas.bsky.social: "We've filed a response to Governor Abbott's filing in the Texas Supreme Court. Our response is basically: 'You are stupid. You filed this in the wrong court. You are not the right person to file it. And you filed it in the wrong way.'"
Yeah he sucks. Unqualified in so many ways in addition to being anti American
Shedeur Sanders wasn’t perfect in his NFL preseason debut on Friday night at Carolina. But the timing sure was.
NEW: Police bodycam footage introduced at the trial of Jared Wise showed him berating police officers on Jan. 6, 2021, and yelling "kill 'em" as rioters attacked law enforcement. He’s now working as a senior adviser for the Department of Justice.
Remember-- if Trump wanted transparency on Epstein, he wouldn't need to gather Vance, Bondi, Patel, Blanche and Wiles tonight to discuss strategy; he would simply release the files. This is what a coverup looks like.
Noticing a pattern here.
suffice it to say it's not normal for the AG and FBI director to meet with administration officials about an ongoing coverup
I believe one of the new mRNA vaccines was expected to treat colon cancer, and another had the potential to keep pancreatic cancer from recurring. That’s what they’re taking away.
INGRAHAM: You said there was irrefutable evidence that Obama was the mastermind of this intelligence manipulation and the perpetuation of the Russia hoax. What is that irrefutable evidence? TULSI GABBARD: *makes clear she's got nothing*
Trump is the most corrupt president in history. Lest we forget, Qatar gave him a jet… and the taxpayer is about to spend almost $1 billion to fit it for AF1 service. AND HE TAKES THE JET WITH HIM WHEN HE LEAVES OFFICE. Staggering corruption from a scumbag of a president
Crockett: This is a person that has a problem with people of color. When we look at who he says are low IQ, even though when you look at his cabinet—this has to be the most incompetent cabinet we have ever had in the history of this country.
Unnecessarily killing people to “own the libs”
popular anti-fascism as taxpayer revolt...might have some legs
He straight up, deliberately lies about demonstrable facts (the jobs revision happened before not after the election and Trump called it out at the time!) and no reporter challenges him on it. No Sunday show host challenged his officials about his lies. He gets away with it.
👇🏽
"Donor List Suggests Scale of Trump’s Pay-for-Access Operation...many in the crypto business, wrote big checks while seeking favor from the president." Trump is the most corrupt president in living memory and it's not even close.
lol… all the “alpha males” so afraid of being outside
McGowan: He seems to be getting rid of statisticians and climate people and weather experts and scientists and anyone who doesn't agree with what he wants to tell or what he wants to say.
Phillip: The performance of this economy is actually factually, much worse than the performance of the economy just a year ago
@marcelias.bsky.social: We "need to tell Republicans that if they take 5 seats, we're going to put 30 seats on the table... When people say to me 'don't bring a knife to a gunfight,' I don't even want to bring a gun to a gunfight. I want to bring missiles to the gunfight."
very cool that the same chuds screaming about “unqualified DEI hires” are giving ignorant 23-year-olds the power to destroy federal agencies
I remember when Jill Stein told me there was no difference between the GOP and the Dems on climate change. 🤷🏽♂️ www.nytimes.com/2025/07/29/c...
it's amazing the amount of time and effort Democrats spend painstakingly critiquing their messaging while Trump just fires from the hip while his brain leaks out of his ears and it's good enough for 312 electoral votes and winning control of the entire federal government
Starmer is thinking what we are thinking and what most of the world is thinking.
Sure, but it makes sense of the times… democrats have had no wins and are in charge of nothing. They hold no political power. It’d be like polling the fans of a sports team who are in last place and ask them if they’re happy?
This is the same guy who said there was as no way people could be poor if they owned a phone. Incredibly out of touch conspiracy-addled individual
Start with Fox News
And they wonder why we use the term authoritarianism?
Right after congress passed a god awful bill that will make everyone’s health insurance premiums go up 75%. Wake up people, we are getting scammed
🚨 This woman tries to call the family of the man being disappeared and ICE will not allow her to get a phone number. One of the “undercover” mobsters nearly backed into her.
POLITICO compiled a list of all the Washington Post staffers who have left in the past eight months. It’s at least a hundred names, many of them among the biggest names in journalism. This is the fastest erosion of a major outlet ever.
Endless grift with a side of cruelty @jojofromjerz.bsky.social
* REUTERS POLL -- NEARLY 90% ECONOMISTS, 89 OF 100, SAY THEY ARE CONCERNED ABOUT THE QUALITY OF OFFICIAL U.S. ECONOMIC DATA, INCLUDING 41 SAYING VERY CONCERNED @reuters.com
Columbia’s leadership has managed to make the wrong decision at every single point here
Absolutely surreal to watch White House reporters ask Leavitt questions about tariffs moments after she and Gabbard used this briefing to baselessly accuse Obama of crimes punishable by death. We’re a sick joke of a country.
Absolutely shameful. What a disgrace to future generations
