It’s not just that the President of the United States posted a video of eleven people being murdered in international waters it’s that the President of the United States ordered the murder of eleven people in international waters so he could post a video of it.

So they re-released most of the same shit they gave the GOP binder crew in February? Color me shocked. Never thought I’d say this, but I’m with Massie. Release the rest of the damn Epstein files, not this cherry-picked bullshit.

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.

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?"

And what Texas did is okay? The fucking hypocrisy
Andy Craig (@andycraig.bsky.social) reposted
That Pritzker press conference was... surreal, and I think marks a significant moment of escalation in the constitutional omni-crisis. This was the governor of a state saying plainly the Union itself is being torn apart and his state is being militarily invaded by an authoritarian regime.

Yes. Susan Collins refuses to meet the public or hold town hall meetings. She only meets privately with rich donors who contribute to her campaigns. She has lost touch with the people she represents. She married a lobbyist. What does that say about her.

Make no mistake, everything that’s happening in the United States is being significantly enabled by the right wing oligarch capture of media. Every other country needs to do everything possible to keep that from happening where they are. Including protecting the CBC from Poilievre here in Canada.

Look at this graph. The share of national income going to the richest 10 percent was lowest (and share to lower 90 percent highest) when union membership was at its highest. As unions have weakened, inequality has widened. This is why we must build back union power.

Trump said he would issue an executive order to require voter identification for all U.S. elections. The Constitution gives the president no explicit authority to regulate voting, and any executive order regarding elections is likely to see immediate legal challenges.
