The president’s number one promise was to drive inflation down.

Instead, he drove it up.

Buttigieg: "For the leader of this country to make a nakedly genocidal threat against another civilization as if the US was a death star that was going around blowing up civilizations, of course that is a new low ... the whole country is being judged just for tolerating that kind of thing at the WH"

We’re living under a racist fascist kleptocracy and @nytimes.com is asking the hard hitting journalistic questions.

This is an account close to the Iranian leadership. We are now seeing the shape of why Iran agreed so enthusiastically to this "ceasefire".

They will control and toll the Strait for the first time. They keep their nuclear program. They keep their missiles.

What a disaster.

just to be clear, everyone, when 8 pm EDT comes and goes, regardless of what does or does not happen, the president still threatened genocide and war crimes and we should still impeach, arrest, and try him

And if it comes and goes and nothing happens, and the apologists say “it was just a threat to get them to buckle, he never meant he’d actually do it,” it is morally correct to punch them in the face.

It's moments like the one we are in when I have to say: liberals were right. We were always right. Yet we will never get credit for being right, because being right is not valued in America.

HRC was right. They called her a bitch.

Nice little mask off moment for the GOP here

The biggest story in the world right now is that the president of the United States is a demented old man who takes pleasure in torturing and killing people and is committing crimes with impunity. And yet most legacy media outlets are too cowardly to tell it like it is.

How republicans in Congress can ignore this is beyond me. He needs to be removed immediately. @oversightdemocrats.bsky.social let’s see impeachment articles. Now.

I'm a bit of a broken record on this, but usurping the power of the purse isn't just one constitutional violation among all the many others. It is, uniquely and singularly, the death of constitutional government altogether. Game over, end of story, you now live in an autocracy.

Sometimes readers are skeptical when I tell them that retailers would rather pay for self-checkout kiosks and product lockup systems and all manner of other questionable in-store tech rather than staffing because of an ideological preference for capital spending over labor spending and, well,,,

The following is the text of the email that Penelope Hegseth sent to her son, Pete Hegseth, on April 30, 2018. One sentence was redacted by The New York Times for privacy reasons. Son, I have tried to keep quiet about your character and behavior, but after listening to the way you made Samantha feel today, I cannot stay silent. And as a woman and your mother I feel I must speak out.. You are an abuser of women - that is the ugly truth and I have no respect for any man that belittles, lies, cheats, sleeps around, and uses women for his own power and ego. You are that man (and have been for years) and as

have been for years) and as your mother, it pains me and embarrasses me to say that, but it is the sad, sad truth. I am not a saint, far from it.. so don't throw that in my face,. but your abuse over the years to women (dishonesty, Sleeping around, betrayal, debasing, belittling) needs to be called out. Sam is a good mother and a good person (under the circumstances that you created) and I know deep down you know that. For you to try to label her as "unstable" for your own advantage is despicable and abusive. Is there any sense of decency left in you? She did not ask for or deserve any of what has come to her by your hand. Neither did Meredith.

hand. Neither did Meredith. I know you think this is one big competition and that we have taken her side... bunk... we are on the side of good and that is not you. (Go ahead and call me self-righteous, I dont' care) Don't you dare run to her and cry foul that we shared with us... that's what babies do. It's time for someone (I wish it was a strong man) to stand up to your abusive behavior and call it out, especially against women We still love you, but we are broken by your behavior and lack of character. I don't want to write emails like this and never thought I would. If it damages our relationship further, then so be it, but at least I have said my piece.

lack of character. I don't want to write emails like this and never thought I would. If it damages our relationship further, then so be it, but at least I have said my piece. [Redacted] And yes, we are praying for you (and you don't deserve to know how we are praying, so skip the snarky reply) I don't want an answer to this... I don't want to debate with you. You twist and abuse everything I say anyway. But... On behalf of all the women (and I know it's many) you have abused in some way, I say... get some help and take an honest look at yourself... Mom

Just remembering the letter Pete Hegseth’s mom sent him, calling him an abuser of women and telling him their family is “broken by your behavior and lack of character.”

"Is there any sense of decency left in you?" The question that hangs over our age.

Trump didn’t suddenly start lying last week, he’s always lied to you … about everything.

You didn’t care then because you were not harmed by the lies and stood to benefit.

Wonder what’s changed?

Evacuation of U.S. troops from Mideast base sends community groups scrambling to help Troops and their families have been pushed back to the United States after their bases in the Middle East were threatened by Iranian counterattacks. Community groups are scrambling to react.

Why aren’t we hearing more about this?

How come when Congressional Democrats do something folks don't like, it's the "Democratic Party," but when Congressional Republicans do something folks don't like, it's "Congress"?

The rhetorical shuffle that happens when you define people AS ideology is crucial to selling the project, I would note.

Also Macron, speaking for many, has this explanation:
"When you want to be serious, you don’t go around saying the opposite every day of what you just said the day before. And perhaps you shouldn’t talk every day.”

"My promise has always been that I will veto any bill that makes WI a less safe, less inclusive, and less welcoming place for LGBTQ people and kids," he said. "It has been my honor to keep that promise over the course of two terms as governor, and I am proud to deliver on that promise again today."

It's been a month since NYU Langone ended care.

Mamdani refuses to answer questions from trans journos over the real steps he can take, like directing H+H to absorb patients or enforcing human rights law.

Important thread.

This Is a Historic Opportunity for Democrats to Get Immigration Right As the public turns against Trump and the Republicans on immigration, the Democrats can seize the moment with a new, positive vision. Here’s what that might look like.

"Mass immigration is good, socially and economically; is the single most significant factor in America’s current position as the global locus of commerce and culture; we’ve been lucky to have it; and we should want more," writes @felipedlh.bsky.social. newrepublic.com/article/2080...

She is just completely making this up. No such chair exists.

Emphasizing that there is no such thing as a federal list of citizens. It does not exist.

Keith Ellison: I want you to know, as your Minnesota Attorney General, that justice is not optional. Accountability is coming.

This is a nationwide phenomenon. The centrists and normies are more viciously angry than the socialists and anarchists, who gave up long ago on the illusion of a working system. Would encourage leftists of all stripes to take it seriously, welcome them in while they’re receptive.

if nothing else, there is something to be said for spending time outside in the sun with thousands of people who share your anger at the state of things
