The verdict of a prominent conservative website and magazine:

"A 79-year-old man who has long dealt in chaos is now being consumed by that chaos. His episodes are becoming more frequent, his good days further apart. What he has lost is not a sense of decency or decorum—he never had those...

Investigating the Good Guys DOJ claims the Southern Poverty Law Center was "paying off" the Ku Klux Klan. The group's track record and common sense suggest otherwise.

A little background on who the Southern Poverty Law Center is and what kind of work they’ve been doing for decades makes it clear that DOJ’s indictment (which is of the center, not of any individuals) is vindictive & malicious, an attack on civil rights work itself. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

The majority of Americans agree with this, imo. The problem is Congress! 😡

This Isn't Trading. It's Theft from Your Retirement. Someone keeps making perfectly-timed bets right before the President speaks. The victims are your pension, your 401(k), and the country I took an oath to defend.

Fifteen minutes before the President announced he was pausing strikes on Iran, somebody moved $500 million in oil futures. Somebody knew. Somebody told them. Or somebody is them.

For those attending the White House Correspondents' Dinner this weekend, a small question:

When you're sitting there at your table, do you think it'll cross your mind that the guest of honor is actively covering up his role in a massive child sex trafficking operation?

He only cared about ONE thing...how it looked on TV. Enough has been said regarding the impossible healing job...not enough said about the depravity it takes to kill your followers to make good television.

Oh, Dad is pissed. And I get that anger. Traitor Trump is the biggest threat to democracy and world peace that we've ever seen in America.

You can’t guardrail a militarized, mercenary police force. It’s over for democracy if ICE remains in place.

@petebuttigieg.bsky.social is it true that Fox News plays at US Military bases more or less nonstop, and did throughout the Biden Administration as well?

It’s increasingly clear that the world would be pretty great if not for a very small percentage of people who keep denying the rest of us the opportunity of that life.

And the @26% of low education, scared and/or vindictive voters who enable them.

I am in Barcelona today to help unite progressive parties from around the world in a defense of democracy and a war against corruption. A first of its kind event. Necessary to beat back the forces of fascism.

The single best tactic the oppressor has to keep the people down is to convince men to convince *other* men that they’re simps if they have a good relationship with a woman.

Sheer evil genius. And so cheap!

FISA is a national security program that, without proper guardrails, is prone to abuse and results in violations of privacy rights. The Republican majority is trying to push through a five-year extension in the middle of the night. 🧵

A tweet from Representative Thomas Massie that reads:

I just viewed 2 Top Secret FISA docs.
1) FISA Court opinion that raises serious concerns about FBI implementation of FISA 702.
2) letter by Senator Wyden describing a secret government interpretation of FISA law.
The Constitution requires I vote No on FISA 702 reauthorization.

I sent a classified letter to House and Senate colleagues about a secret interpretation of surveillance law that every American should be concerned about.

Representative Massie is right. The Constitution requires EVERY member to vote against a clean reauthorization.
