“To say that President Trump is corrupt is to somehow understate the size, scope and magnitude of his corruption.
It is as if you were to describe a modern thermonuclear device as a ‘bomb.’ That is true enough, but it is not quite the truth. It does not capture the nature of the thing in full.”
"If you're looking for a Democrat who is going to fight Donald Trump and stand up for the Democratic Party, and from the fight wing of the Democratic Party, which I'm proudly from, you've gotta support this guy, George Conway."
In our discussion, @gtconway.bsky.social envisions two steps: Accountability for Trump and top officials first, then reforms to prevent future fascism second. It all amounts to a pretty good accountability agenda for the post-Trump era.
Here's the key exchange:

This is also good stuff from @gtconway.bsky.social: He says only one of the major parties is functioning as an actor in a democracy, and that this is unsustainable.
"We can’t survive another 33 months of what we’ve seen for the last 15," he tells me.

Starting a mid-decade redistricting war only to end up with -1 seats is the same fine strategic genius and subtle grasp of game theory that brough us the Strait of Hormuz.
So much false equivalence in media on gerrymandering in Texas vs California & Virginia. California and Virginia maps approved by the voters. That's a huge difference not enough people pointing out

So when it comes to beards and hairstyles, discipline requires strict conformity. When it comes to contracting and spreading a preventable illness that directly affects unit readiness, follow your bliss, man.
everyone with real American manliness and a basic knowledge of military history knows that serious war efforts have never been derailed by such trifling matters as "communicable diseases"
Kevin Warsh just lost me. He argues he's going to be an independent Fed Chair, but refuses to acknowledge that Trump lost the 2020 election. If you can't state simple facts when you're in the political spotlight, you aren't independent. You're a coward.
As a matter of principle, you can either have a dinner that celebrates the First Amendment or you can have a dinner that features Donald Trump. You can’t have both because the president holds the freedom of the press in contempt. www.mediamatters.org/donald-trump...
@marcelias.bsky.social is right.
We can't let up, not even for a moment, until the job is done.
✅️Impeach.
✅️Convict.
✅️Save Democracy.
So Trump is back to threatening war crimes by destroying Iran’s civilian infrastructure? This reckless moron needs to be removed from office. #25th
For the record, for anyone who’s forgotten, it’s sheer madness for a president to contradict himself nearly every day. It’s profoundly wrong that we can’t trust the veracity of a single thing that he says.
Gil Duran tweet: TLDR: Fascism in response to Palantir's long fascists screed on X.
"Your Account is Suspended" Message on X
The CEO of Palantir posted a fascist manifesto on X.
I pointed out that it was fascist—which resulted in a permanent suspension from X (my second time!).
So, when you hear the tweeters complaining that BlueSky is intolerant, remember why many of us came here in the first place.
Mar-a-lago mafia!! Dems, please use this phrase regularly
If you watch and share one thing today make at this. Why is every democrat in the country not talking like this?
When I worked on ‘Celebrity Apprentice’ Trump would gather his family & they would all humbly bow their heads in prayer before finale tapings. Often, Donald would recite a favorite Bible verse….Naw, I’m just f^cking w/you, he would ask if there were any MILFs in the audience.
1/7. We Americans have a hard time seeing ourselves in the world, and so even when we want to criticize our fascist oligarchs we fail to see the international networks of which they are nodes.
I’ve seen the chaos inside the Trump Admin and how his plans hurt Virginia families.
So, I won’t stay silent.
Today, I launched my campaign for Congress. I’ll fight to undo the harm — but I can’t do it alone. Share if you’re with me.
Yes. Hearings. And reminding their constituents that his continued untrammeled exercise of power is what's at stake this November. And, truth be told, to have more in the media raise this the way the New York Times did this week. We have to stop pretending you can't talk about it.

It was plainly obvious from the start that DOGE was a straight up criminal enterprise. Now the facts are coming out.
Here, in this thread, is why I think political conditions are starting to ripen for the impeachment **and removal** of Donald Trump, as I explained on Saturday morning on @msnownews.bsky.social @theweekendmsnow.bsky.social

"Basically a Second American Reconstruction, to make sure these abuses never happen again.
"I want to be Jamie Raskin's wingman, a guy I really, really admire. …"
Errol: "Got it, got it. Unusual times call for an unusual candidate."
Me: "Exactly!"
Not feeling good about giving my hard earned money to the oligarchs, to fund illegal & unnecessary "wars,"or fund any of this admin's crooked schemes.
Not at all 'good.'
Should be part of his next test.
Erica Payne, founder of @patrioticmillionaires.org: "Doing it around the edges is what got us this freak show in the WH sending out memes about him being Jesus & getting in a fight with the Pope in a country that prides itself on the separation of church and state. For heaven's sake! Enough already"
