Had D POTUS rung up $37T debat, started a trade war, knocked job growth down from the 200,000s to 10,000's , tried to fire fed gov, fired experts who had the temerity to contradict him and his cultists with facts, and sounded loony (birds and windmills!) we'd be in impeachment or 25thA territory

Living a moral life in an age of bullies requires collective action; it cannot be done alone. Each of us must organize and participate in a vast network of moral resistance. From this solidarity we will grow stronger. This is what our current moment requires.
Trump cabinet officials told a federal appeals court that ruling presidentās global tariffs illegal would seriously harm US foreign policy, with Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent warning of ādangerous diplomatic embarrassment.ā
BOOM. The federal appeals court rules Trump's tariffs illegal, because they are. There's no national emergency, and so the power to tariff a country rests with Congress. Trump admin has lost at every stage of the process, but stay tuned for the Supremes to chime in.

This Brain Worm is killing our country!!!
At least we still have Lowly Worm!
Heās admitting black women get sub par medical care! Yep!
CDC director called Louisiana Senator Cassidy today before she was asked to resign by RFK. Louisiana folks need to be calling Cassidy's office and asking that he demand RFK to resign. Make RFK Jr a problem for Trump and he gets dumped overboard.
Hoping someone is checking Pulteās mortgage info! Also donāt forget Ken Paxton in TX!
The one upside of this is that we never have to pretend Republicans believe in the constitution, freedom, states rights, freedom of speech, America, democracy, the economy, jobs, children, decency or family values ever again.
Ken Paxton, TX Attorney General, called 3 houses a primary residence! What about him???
Our rights werenāt givenāthey were demanded & fought for Remember that as we celebrate the anniversary of the 19th amendment today, recognizing the right of women to vote. Our democracy, our rights & freedoms deserve fighting for. š vote.pa/register #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #Pinks

San Francisco has hit its lowest murder rate in 60 years ā 35 murders last year vs Houstonās 322. Anyone think Fox News will cover that?
šØBREAKING: Hours after Texas passed its new map, my law firm has challenged it in federal court. In addition to violating the VRA, HB 4 violates the 14th Amendment because it unjustifiably considers race and partisanship as part of a voluntary, mid-cycle redistricting. @redistrictfdn.bsky.social
Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth has fired the director of the Defense Intelligence Agency, the latest senior military or intelligence officer to lose his position in a wider purge of national security agenciesā top ranks.
Donald Trump is going to try to rig the outcome of the 2026 election because he is an authoritarian and that is what authoritarians do. I don't know if I should say it louder or softer, but people need to pay attention and take action. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z2bc...
Isnāt that straight up Communism? State run companies like in Russia???
Dc should line the streets with a wanted posters of the criminals Trump has pardoned!
The lack of self-awareness @gavinnewsom.bsky.social has baited them into is incredible. This is easily the funniest thing Hannity has ever said.

Our constitutions are not the same. We have been very proud of always holding elections, no matter what else was going on. I am so tired of Trump shitting on the United States of America.
āTrump deploys national guard to D.C. to guard the Epstein filesā
This is disturbing. In Arleta, Los Angeles on Monday, masked ICE agents detained a 15-year-old boy with significant disabilities. He was with his family registering another student for school when federal agents pulled him aside and handcuffed him. They also left bullets on the ground.
Why is Greg Abbott pushing hard for Texas redistricting and the 5 seats? Sept 9! āPlanning for the March primary election is already underway, but election officials say they canāt move forward without finalized maps ā and the first key deadline, mandated by the state, is coming Sept. 9.ā
President Trump's tariffs are expected to cost households an average of $2,400 per year, according to the Budget Lab at Yale University. They estimate food prices could rise more than 3 percent and car prices could rise 12 percent.

In The Handmaidās Tale, the Commanders preach purity but sneak off to brothels. Itās not fiction, itās a mirror. The most repressed are often the most controlling. If they just let themselves enjoy life, maybe they wouldnāt burn the world trying to punish everyone else for enjoying it.

We are at all hands on deck moment in our country's history. No one who cares about our democracy, decency, freedom, or the rule of law, can remain on the sidelines. Do something. Anything. Pick something meaningful and do it. Do it until our country is brought back from the brink.

At this point, these NASA employees fully understand that signing a letter like this means the Trump administration will likely fire them and even perhaps go after them personally Yet rather than remain silent, they chose to speak up They are heroes, one and all

Whoa! With his batshit bonkers public meltdown claiming Obama and Hillary wrote the Epstein files, we now know that not only do the Epstein files exist, but besides Jeffrey Epstein, Trump is the star pedophile. Pam Bondi has the job of preventing the release of Epstein's list. š
Stop the "trump did this" narrative, trump is a blunt instrument not a mastermind. What weāre seeing now, the gutting of rights & authoritarian policies is what Heritage Foundation, Federalist judges & dark money have been pushing since Reagan. trump is not smart enough, know thy enemy.
Jessica Valenti is seeking information about anyone Paxton may have impregnated out of wedlock, and I cannot wait for her to out him as having paid for one or more abortions after all he has done to torture pregnant people and healthcare workers who provide abortion care.
So true. Powerful piece of art by @laloalcaraz.bsky.social.
Fuck trump
Ken Paxton is a massive piece of shit who worked with anti-abortion activists to find abusive men willing to sue over their exās abortions. I guess thatās my way of saying: if Ken Paxton got you pregnant, hit me up at tips@abortioneveryday.com
NEW: Federal agents have fired tear gas at around 100 protestors who gathered after ICE began its raid at the farm in Camarillo. A raid which reportedly involved 20 military-style vehicles and a helicopter. WTF? This video was shared by independent media outlet, L.A. TACO.
Yep!
Mike Johnson is voting to cut Medicaid. Nearly 40% of his district relies on Medicaid.
AAPLOG, a religious group, is lobbying to change medical terminology, and promote legislation that forces a woman facing a life threatening event (i.e. massive placental abruption) to labor EVEN if she needs blood transfusions to survive said labor. In order to birth an āintact fetal bodyā.
Final vote. 50-50. VP breaks the tie. One single GOP Senator could have stopped this abomination. Saved millions of parents from watching their child go hungry. Saved the lives destroyed when Medicaid disappears. They will all live forever with the horror of this bill.
This will be a disaster for electricity in TX! Many days we are getting 50% or more of our energy from solar and wind!āand the demand is expected to double in 10 years due to AI, etc.

Trumpās Big Billionaire Bill would be a devastating blow to millions of families all so greedy corporations and ultra-wealthy GOP donors get the tax break they paid for. Needless to say, this cruel and corrupt bill was sponsored by dark money and born out of pure corruption.š§µ
So we have our answer to will the courts hold. And the answer is no.
KBJ, in dissent, calls today's ruling "profoundly dangerous" and an "existential threat to the rule of law." She expresses her "deep disillusionment" with the court and suggests that the conservative supermajority continues to crown Trump a king above law. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...
From Sotomayor's dissent, which she's now reading from the bench: "The President has made a 'solemn mockery' of our Constitution. Rather than stand firm, the Court gives way. Because such complicity should know no place in our system of law, I dissent." www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...

This is on Trumpās head. Should be headline in every paper
Since 2000, GAVI has distributed 1.1 Billion vaccine doses to children around the world and averted 18.8 million deaths as a direct result of this effort. To cut U.S. funding for this incredible effort is to promote childhood deaths. www.reuters.com/business/hea...
This is remarkable. New Quinnipiac poll finds support for path to legalization for most undocumented immigrants has risen to 64%. Only 31% want most of them deported. That's a 14 point net swing for legalization since Trump took office. On immigration generally, he's at 41-57!
