We Have 2 Weeks to Stop Trump From Committing New Atrocities It is up to the American people, and our elected representatives, to use every legal means available—from impeachment to protest.

Rise and Resist demanding that Congress remove Trump using Article II, Section 4 of the U.S. Constitution, and the 25th Amendment.

The President’s son landing defense contracts for an illegal war is the kind of thing that would have stopped all other news in another era for months.

I doubt it will even be in the news tomorrow.

I hate it so much.

The National Disgrace and Danger of Kash Patel The FBI Director is a national embarrassment — and desperate to keep his job.

It’s been a few months since I wrote about how bad Kash Patel was at being FBI director, so let’s check in over at the FBI, shall we?

Wait ... what's that now? www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/the-nation...

The Onion plans to turn Infowars into a comedy site with satirical echoes of the fringe conspiracy theories that Mr. Jones is known for. Tim Heidecker, one of the comedians behind “Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job!” on Cartoon Network’s Adult Swim, has been hired to serve as “creative director of Infowars.” He said he initially plans to parody Mr. Jones’s “whole modus operandi.” Mr. Heidecker has been working on his impression of Mr. Jones. But eventually, when that joke gets old, Mr. Heidecker said that he hoped to turn Infowars into a destination for independent and experimental comedy. “I just thought it would be just a beautiful joke if we could take this pretty toxic, negative, destructive force of Infowars and rebrand it as this beautiful place for our creativity,” Mr. Heidecker said in an interview. During a recent trip to Philadelphia, he traveled to the Liberty Bell to film a video in character as the new creative director of Infowars.

Get excited.

Thanks to Trump, we might see criminal prosecutions - and a primary challenge for any Dem that gets in the way of a serious, Nuremberg-style reckoning with Trumpismo and its gangsters:

To escape authoritarianism, somebody's going to have to come up with an inspiring vision of what the country could be and motivate people to help make it happen. I'm guessing a bitter indictment of people whose support you're asking for may not help with that.

The president of the United States is bragging about being able to write his own signature.

I consider every Roberts Court ruling illegitimate. Not least of which the Trump immunity decision which more or less invalidates the entire system of representative democracy.

Voting on spy powers at 2am will definitely help with trust in the government!

We got an accidental assist from a stalled vehicle last night. Backed up traffic has more time to contemplate what a sane nation could do with that kind of money to help people -- and more time to honk! #visibilitybrigade

As wealth concentrates, so does power — the power to influence elections, shape policy, tilt markets and define the terms of public debate.

Taxing billionaires is not radical.

What is radical is allowing a system where extreme wealth exists alongside widespread hardship.

i mean you have to admit at least everything is very stupid

Trump administration agrees to return rainbow Pride flag to New York’s Stonewall monument The Trump administration has agreed to keep flying a rainbow Pride flag on a federal flagpole at the Stonewall National Monument, reversing course after removing the banner in February.

No wannabe tyrant can ever tamp down New York City’s pride.

The Stonewall pride flag will keep flying as a symbol of hope & resistance. A vibrant reminder of our city’s commitment to protecting LGBTQ+ New Yorkers. Whenever the fascists try to erase history, we’ll never give in.

Somewhere at OpenAI or Google is a documented record of AI image prompts from the White House.

And if you have access to those, boy do I want to hear from you.

Harmeet Dhillon Is Not Wasting Any Time She arrived at the Department of Justice with radical changes in mind. One year later, she has completely reshaped the Civil Rights Division.

I profiled Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon, who pushed out roughly 70 percent of the Civil Rights Division's lawyers, turned DOJ's civil rights enforcement on its head, and is now reportedly in the running for attorney general

My own lived experience is that they never come take the monster away, however human stories are full of moments when they do. I am trying to cling to those, and dizzy with cognitive dissonance, Saturday edition.

I’m feeling very invested in what comes next here
