i believe in occam's razor. the simplest, most obvious response is that the game is being thrown on purpose. the other explanations are too tortured and absurd.

Okay but what if Trump was personally criticizing you as an official act in his capacity as president?

Yesterday’s attack on Iran sends a strong message to would-be dictators who use secret police to murder protesters.

Pundits: if Trump ever directly defied a supreme court order then it would have to be characterized as a constitutional crisis Trump: *directly defies order* Pundits: What to make of Trump’s bold tariff gambit? It depends who you ask.

Ten years ago today Scalia died, and McConnell immediately said he wouldn’t let Obama fill the seat. Dems said and did nothing; the media treated it as normal politics. No one treated it as a crisis. I believe historians will view this episode as one of the key moments of our descent into fascism.

NBC editing out the booing of JD Vance is a disgrace. It’s an international event. Americans have the right to know what the world is saying. NBC has bowed down to Trump.

There doesn’t have to be a conspiracy around what Epstein was saying in these emails because the reality is that sexual violence is enabled at every level of society, so he had no reason to hide what he was doing. The government, the powerful, even many in the media knew the truth

What's happening in Minnesota is one reason the Reconstruction Amendments banned insurrectionists from holding office. Unfortunately, the originalists on the Supreme Court interpreted the plain language of the amendment to mean its opposite.

If you want to know what people mean when they say Democrats are "controlled opposition," rather than whipping votes against ICE funding, Hakeem Jeffries struck a deal with Republicans to allow Democrats to feign outrage at ICE while still funding the spending package.

If every Democrat voted NO on funding ICE, it would not have passed the House. But, 7 House Democrats voted to fund Trump's lawless, masked goons, so it passed. Hakeem Jeffries refused to whip his members to vote against ICE funding. Genuinely unforgivable.

Tiresome to keep repeating it a full decade into Democrats giving Nazis power to commit Nazi atrocities but: The government must be shut down permanently until this Nazi criminal is gone, and Democrats who refuse to go along with this should be afraid to leave their homes.

I am pleased to announce that the Interim
Authorities in Venezuela will be turning over
between 30 and 50 MILLION Barrels of High
Quality, Sanctioned Oil, to the United States
of America. This Oil will be sold at its Market
Price, and that money will be controlled by
me, as President of the United States of
America, to ensure it is used to benefit the
people of Venezuela and the United States! I
have asked Energy Secretary Chris Wright to
execute this plan, immediately. It will be
taken by storage ships, and brought directly
to unloading docks in the United States.
Thank you for your attention to this matter!
DONALD J. TRUMP
PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF
AMERICA

As Trump drags us into an Iraq-style war in Venezuela, 312 members of the House — including 115 Democrats — just voted to authorize over $900 billion in military spending.
NDAA passes the House, 312 to 112. Republicans: 197 yea, 18 nay; Democrats: 115 yea, 94 nay

I don't understand this or the daily Bluesky posts re how we'll have new Nuremberg Trials after Trump. Trump committed unprecedented atrocities in his first term; Biden forgave him and his leading Nazi cohorts. Not a single 2028 Democratic Presidential contender has vowed to do what needs to be done

Nancy Pelosi declined to seek war crimes charges for Bush admin criminals, and she had to be pushed to impeach Donald Trump. Meanwhile, she made tens of millions of dollars on insider stock trades. I’d celebrate her departure if her seat weren’t being filled by her nepo baby daughter.

They could have perp walked Trump, multiple times, for multiple offenses. They could have convicted him in the Senate, as a bipartisan majority of senators voted to do. When you decide not to pursue justice, this is the result.

On February 13, 2016 I sounded the alarm on our democracy. That’s when Mitch McConnell said he wouldn’t let Obama replace Scalia and the Democrats didn’t immediately treat it like the constitutional crisis it was. Nobody listened, but I was right.

Sustained mass protest is and has always been our only way out of this. I’m talking about tens of millions in the streets, sweeping general strikes, and so on. Every day we count on the Democratic Party to save us from fascism is a day we will slip further into fascism.

We stand on the precipice of fascism. The Republican Party is dead serious about one-party fascist rule, and the Democratic Party is dead serious about not really trying to stop them. Any chance we have of escaping fascism is entirely on us.
