Sounds extremely "scientific." What a nutjob. #RFKJr
"There were two significant factors behind Trump's reticence, Weafer said: the president's desire to be seen as a peace-broker, and concerns over pushing Russia deeper into China's orbit." Kinda late for that. @cnbc.com doesn't consider *other* motives behind "reticence." apple.news/Ank39xoDLRi6...
You mean the Congressional Republicans that are enabling this anti-democratic, authoritarian effort to manipulate equal representation to their advantage? #BothSides
Well done MAGA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
#FireRFKJr
Pardons werenāt good enough. Now they want a payout (like Ashley Babbitās family got).
Thread for those wondering āwhat Dems are doing.ā
"Despite the overwhelming opposition of the medical community, Secretary Kennedy has continued his longstanding crusade against vaccines and his advocacy of conspiracy theories that have been rejected repeatedly by scientific experts."
Resistance comes in many forms. No sympathy. If they so desperately "need a job," they can always go work in the baking-hot fields where many immigrants have been chased down and deported.
When will people learn? With Trump, everyone is eventually under the bus.
Congratulations to the Senate GOP, especially Bill Cassidy. Any deaths are on your heads. #Shame
This was, sorry, prescient: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
"The podcaster claimed āthereās a lot of speculationā around 2020 and a ārecord of shenanigans.ā No @joerogantop.bsky.social, there were no "shenanigans" as proven by over 60 court cases, and confirmed by Trump's own AG and DHS Chief. It's always been a #BigLie.
"Borges raised concerns that DOGE staffers bypassed safeguards, circumvented a court order, and created a copy of the SSAās entire collection of data that was put onto the cloud, or a network of remote servers on the internet. Borges said the agency had no oversight of who had access to the file."
Yesterday two federal court rulings declared the Trump Administration's actions on deportations and tariffs illegal. IF ONLY we had a trustworthy SCOTUS...
āBut the appellate judges delayed the implementation of their order until October to grant the administration time to seek review by the Supreme Court, which would allow Mr. Trump to keep his contested duties in place for now.ā Gee, wonder how Trumpās SCOTUS will rule? š¤

lol, DID HE VOTE FOR THE BIG UGLY BILL OR NOT? Yes, he did.
Notice the smug liar doesn't deny the data and then goes on to lie about people supporting these fascist intrusions into cities and stats showing crime is greatly reduced in many places. Nothing more than a fearmongering control tactic - that's all they've got since GOP polices are so unpopular.
So remind me again, WHO is weaponizing government? #fascism
"Hardened criminals" right? This cruel, shameful period in U.S. will never be forgotten. And much of this is happening because Republicans have refused to pass humane immigration reform FOR YEARS so they can use it as a wedge issue.
Donāt look away
Yes, just read this week that they have been meeting daily for up to two years, strategizing, examining their options and preparing responses to any number of violations. The governors and state AGs are stepping up! cmarmitage.substack.com/p/its-time-f...

And yet the interviewer doesn't make that clear. Who is she?
This administration's immigration policy is fundamentally sick. Trump has wrongly detained lawful green card holders and even CITIZENS. No one should assume this was necessary. These firefighters put their lives on the line for us ALL and Trump is detaining them.
Thread of truth. #CDC #NIH #RFK Jr. #Vought

With SCOTUS once again providing specious arguments to justify overturning their own precedents to accommodate Trump.

Chinese officials "were saying, it's very interesting to watch President Trump because we've had a long-term strategy to basically try to weaken and divide America's alliances....President Trump is just doing it for us." Jake Sullivan joins @timmiller.bsky.social on the latest Bulwark Podcast:

I hope people push back hard on these lies, even if it is the toxic swill site.
āThe American people demanded science, safety and common sense,ā Mr. Kennedyās post on X said. āThis framework delivers all three.ā RFK Jr. and "science, safety, and common sense" are oxymorons. #kakistocracy
This is very encouraging in response to "What are Democrats doing?!" Dem AGs/Governors have been organizing and strategizing for months in substantial ways.
Kristen Painter, business editor for the Minnesota Star Tribune, has a second-grade daughter and a preschool son who attend the school. āIt sounds so clichĆ©, but itās your worst nightmare,ā she said.
What always strikes me about these polls are the people who aren't sure or do approve: "only" 49% strongly disapprove. What will it take to shake them out of their complacency and/or delusion?
New Quinnipiac poll just dropped. Few highlights for me: - New low for Trump at 37% approval (lol) - 49% strongly disapprove - Only 20% approval with Indies (YIKKEESS) - 50% say economy is "getting worse" Overall, just an awful poll for the GOP. Early voting starts in NJ & VA in just a few weeks.
š„ āTrumpās attempted sacking of Cook should be met with outrage, not with shrugs. Congress must defend the Fedās independence. The courts must strike down this unlawful power play. Trumpās effort to tear it down for personal gain is reckless, corrosive, and profoundly un-American.ā

Attempting to rig elections on his behalf. Turning the military on citizens. Toying with the idea of declaring martial law. Attacking political enemies and punishing those who speak out against his regime. If this were happening in another country, what would you call it?
Litter is definitely a massive emergency that warrants mobilizing units from several statesā National Guard, arming them heavily and sending them into the streets of the capital.
NEW: Heather Honey, a high-profile denier of Trumpās loss in the 2020 election, has been appointed to a senior position in the Department of Homeland Security in which sheāll help oversee election security. By @dougbockclark.bsky.socialā¬
Yaāll still believe in this court? They said she canāt be fired āunless thereās cause.ā Iām thinkinā they accept whatever manufactured ācauseā Team Trump presents as legit. I have zero faith in the compromised majority.
Catelin Drey just flipped a Trump +11 Iowa Senate seat! Democrats have now overperformed in 37 out of 38 elections so far this year.

Wow. On NPR, @gbrumfiel.bsky.social reports a Social Security official ācopied the Social Security numbers, names and birthdays of over 300 million Americans to a private section of the agency's cloud.ā The source is a whistleblower, who is named: Charles Borges, SSN chief data officer.

Either he's lying or oblivious to what's been playing out in plain sight. Trump has repeatedly blamed Ukraine for fighting back (as if they had a choice), and the REASON six European leaders came here was because THEY CANNOT TRUST TRUMP TO STAND UP TO PUTIN AND PROTECT NATO ALLIES!! So disingenuous.
Big distinction: social media/large scale MSM infotainment didn't exist with Elvis, Sinatra, or the Beatles. Totally different cultural climates.
You might want to look at authoritarian experts for an education on what is actually happening (but I'm guessing you're just projecting your own narrowminded, inflexible mindset). See Timothy Snyder, Ruth Ben Ghiat. B-bye.
We are very far off the cliff here folks. šŗšø
š š This is the only language thugs understand. Stay strong @govpritzker.illinois.gov.
āA lot of people are saying: 'Maybe we like a dictatorā,ā said the President of the United States, verbatim, in the Oval Office. The same day that he ordered mobilization of āspecializedā military units in all 50 statesāunder his personal commandāin peacetime, to āquell public unrestā by Americans
Apparently you haven't been paying attention. He is saying it without saying it as all mob bosses do. It's his entire M.O. "Watch what he does, not what he says." Troops on U.S. soil? Extorting the press, private companies, and universities? Using Fed law enforcement to threaten critics? Check.
JUST IN: A federal appeals court concludes that discarding mail ballots in misdated or undated envelopes violates the Constitution.
This is how it's done.
Anyone who thinks that a man who bullies constantly; encourages violence against political opponents, protesters, and immigrants; incited an insurrection; and has instructed DHS to chase farm workers through fields, doesn't understand the meaning of "peace." Dittoš bsky.app/profile/dart...
Theyāre making fun of the media referring to Kilmar Abrego Garcia as a Maryland man as they threaten to send him to Uganda, a country where heās never lived. Theyāre simply fucking vile.
He should be disbarred. These people are a threat to the Republic.
Judge Xinis: Your clients are *absolutely forbidden* from removing Mr. Abrego from the continental United States. You understand this? DOJ: Yes.
Barbaric.
That's right - call it what it is: #Fascist policies.
Bullies always back down when confronted with real strength. Great job @govpritzker.illinois.gov!
You mean the "purity test" grossly exaggerated (or invented) by MAGA and pumped out by FOX 24/7? Or the "cancel culture" they decry as they invent crime waves and "DEI" boogeymen, threaten broadcasters and universities, and sic the FBI after critics? Did you even bother to read the piece?
The guy makes my skin crawl every time he speaks.
ie: Minority Speaker right now.
You're lecturing people about Jeffries' job and saying his job is to "Keep Dem Senators united?" He is Speaker of the House, not Senate. He is a lead voice for the opposition - giving interviews regularly and his message is that Trump's authoritarian actions are "distractions." He is not compelling.
So the argument for Jeffries effectiveness is that the governors should lead?

RFK Jr. fueled doubt in vaccines and exaggerated the ability of vitamins to ward off disease. Linked outbreaks have sickened more than 4,500 people, killed at least 16, and levied exorbitant costs on hospitals, health departments, and those paying medical bills. www.cbsnews.com/news/measles...

Does it ever occur to @washingtonpost.com to mention that it's is an illegal abuse of power to send the military into U.S. cities, especially based on lies? You're normalizing fascism. So glad I cancelled my subscription when this new Murdoch-inspired executive team took over.
Donald Trump is attempting to manufacture a crisis, politicize Americans who serve in uniform, and continue abusing his power to distract from the pain he's causing families. We'll continue to follow the law, stand up for the sovereignty of our state, and protect Illinoisans.
It has to be noted that Nichols and others making this case (eg: Sarah Longwell) are Never Trumpers (ie: Republicans at heart). While they are allies in fighting authoritarian assault, they do not support progressive/liberal principles and goals and should not be defining that platform.
@jamellebouie.net makes very good points responding to Tom. Itās not that no one uses the terms, itās the right wingās 24/7 weaponization of specific terms to fearmonger for political advantage. Evidence doesnāt support their prevalence. bsky.app/profile/jame...
There you go arguing with evidence! Much easier to make sweeping generalizations and let the right wing propaganda machine frame the debate as we sacrifice fundamental civil rights.
So Dems should let FOX and MAGA set the terms and frame the debate. Talk about surrendering in advance.
Ya think??? This is how weak the media has become. Just say his claim that itās about crime (at a 30-year low in D.C) is a lie and extreme abuse of power! What will your headline be when he goes into Chicago next? DO YOUR JOB!!

The more desperate they are to hide the #EpsteinFiles, the more obvious it is that Trump is implicated in some way. They released only 1% of the files and are pushing the interview of a convicted predator who lied repeatedly under oath and was suddenly sent to a cushy prison after the interview? š
