The comparison between this and what we have now makes me very sad and melancholy. This is the America I want.

OMG.. He must have taken a triple dose of Adderal because I've never Seen him read or talk so fast.

Congressman Adam Smith on @kaitlancollins.bsky.social says "fog of war" idea of Hegseth is "idiotic." It was a 48 minute video of 2 guys hanging off boat. Video was completely clear and visible when the second sortie (3 bombs) occurred.

As was hillary.

The optics of Trump building a ballroom that 99.9% of Americans will never set foot in while millions line up for food banks are worth more than any policy paper or economic proposal. This image is a visceral punch in the mouth that needs no words. It should haunt the GOP for a generation.

The man who doesn’t read and can’t handle a briefing furloughed the people guarding America’s most dangerous weapons.

OMG. Heartbreaking

Shocking! Another Nazi Lover that shot up a school

Pic of the vile, racist video Trump posted on X and Truth Social of Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries.

I’m not really sure what to say, but if this unhinged lunatic is allowed to remain president after posting this, we are truly lost as a nation.

Not only is this video vile, racist and immature, it’s totally unpresidential. Having this clown as our POTUS is beyond EMBARRASSING.

FFS use the 25th!

That wb war criminal Bibi Netanyahu, who just basically announced he's going to flatten and obliterate Gaza in 72 hours.

Then, the ENTIRE audience fucking CLAPPED at this US supported mass genocide.

Yes, applauded.

When a person says, "This can be done the easy way or the hard way", with extremely high probability, they are a sadist.

And sadism *never* exists in isolation, it's always accompanied by sociopathy-psychopathy (ASPD).

Thank you to the brothers @meidastouch.com for sharing this with me.

Thank you for the trust 🙏

Wow, the conservative WSJ editorial board weighs in on Bolton search:
“The real offender here is a President who seems to think he can use the powers of his office to run vendettas. We said this was one of the risks of a second Trump term, and it’s turning out to be worse than we imagined.”

There’s no longer any pretense this has anything to do with crime (there are cities or parts of cities in SC and Ohio that have higher crime rates than DC — send the troops there!). This is about establishing a precedent for Trump seizing control of the nation’s capital when he wants to.

Can someone tell @RepOgles this country was founded to get away from having a king?

We know he’s not an economist - turn out he’s not a historian either. 😕 🇺🇸

If you’re under any illusions about what an authoritarian personality cult the GOP has become, they’re not hiding it:

Land of the free.

So, what about the Epstein Files?

Spending $200 billion on ICE is a terrible idea I've covered federal law enforcement for two decades. Here are the things that worry me most.

"We’re creating something even more dangerous to the country: A masked monster of a law enforcement agency, one uniquely unsuited for its new power, authority, reach, and funding levels."

Applebaum on Autocracy Anne Applebaum warns that Sudan’s descent into chaos shows what happens when institutions fail—and why a free press is essential to prevent America from following the same path.

“In any slide towards dictatorship, individual decisions matter because they create precedents. When the leaders of Paramount decided to pay a bribe to the president, they made life much more difficult for anyone who wants to resist the president in the future,” says @anneapplebaum.bsky.social.

Clearly the intent is to make a deal with her to keep her quiet.

The loss of the reasonable, thoughtful and decent David Gergen is a reminder that there was a time when you didn’t doubt there were Republicans who shared a commitment to democracy and believed that government is there to make lives better.
