imagine telling yourself on january 6, 2021 that five years from now things would be so much worse

Constituent: You talked about abuses in the medicare and medicaid system and I found interesting that the president pardoned someone that defrauded the medicaid system for $1.3 billion

Way to go, San Francisco!! 👏👏

FBI raids the home of John Bolton Kash Patel wrote on X, "NO ONE is above the law."

The FBI's raid on John Bolton's house not only marks an escalation of the Trump admin's use of law enforcement powers to go after its perceived enemies, but also the contentious relationship between Kash Patel and Bolton.

@robertgarcia.bsky.social: "Maxwell is a convicted sex trafficker and a liar. She cannot be trusted... Todd Blanche was Donald Trump's personal lawyer before he became deputy AG. His arranging of this deposition, his then moving her to a less secure facility, we're not going to be tricked by this."

Blumenthal: "My stomach turned when I heard the president of the United States characterize Vladimir Putin as his fabulously good friend. Vladimir Putin is a war criminal."

Priorities.

LISTEN TO THIS SHIT: Mark Kelly didn’t name names—but he did say this:

One GOP Senator said Medicaid cuts were fine because “they’ll get over it.”
Another, told it would cost lives, said:
“We’re all gonna die anyway.”

And this party still dares to call itself pro-life.

If Jeff Bezos can afford to rent Venice for a $50 million wedding, he can afford to pay his fair share in taxes.

Where’s the warrant? Where are the gang members Trump said they were going to get?

These men are bounty hunters. KIDNAPPERS!

This is Santa Monica, California…

It’s always the person without combat experience that's the first to suggest dropping a bomb.

We must do everything we can to de-escalate the situation in Iran to protect our troops in the Middle East.

ABC’s Jay O’Brien is reporting that republicans in Congress were briefed ahead of the strikes, but that democrats were not briefed until after the attack was underway.

Much as I would not dare to predict the consequences of this war, I do think we can summarize it thusly so far:

A smart and evil man manipulated a stupid and evil man into a war against a fanatical and evil regime.

President Trump Meets with the Juventus Football Club YouTube video by The White House

To anyone who's surprised by MAGA falling in line: Watch this exchange from 3 days ago.

Q: "It seems like this issue on whether or not the United States should strike is kind of dividing a lot of your supporters."

Trump: "No, my supporters are for me."

It's a cult. Wherever he goes, they follow.

Have any members of congress sued over the new illegal ICE detention facility inspection restrictions yet?

🧵I think it’s important to understand what disinformation like Sen. Mike Lee’s tweets are trying to do, psychologically/cognitively. In my disinfo class/Substack, I talk about how disinfo often uses “moral disengagement strategies” to manipulate people into accepting harmful conduct 1/

“Trump has more than doubled his personal wealth since starting his 2024 campaign. Billions of foreign dollars into his family’s real estate and crypto ventures… Our political system is being transformed into something that no longer serves the people.” www.nytimes.com/2025/06/08/o...

From Alpha To Beta: Trump's "Strong Leader" Persona Is Crumbling Trump's performative strength can no longer hide the profound weakness of his presidency

In his first term, it was the myth of the savvy businessman. As he ran for his second, it was the myth of the "strong leader." But now, Trump’s entire persona is crumbling in real-time as he struggles to hide his profound weakness as a leader.

Imagine if President Biden, from the White House, had publicly threatened to level “very serious consequences” against the richest man alive if he *dared* to give any money to the Republican Party.

It would be a scandal that would last years.

That is what Trump just did with respect to Elon Musk.

It was always about due process.

Due process for all, including Kilmar Abrego Garcia.
