LMFAO -- Trump is holding an event at the White House right now but there's no audio because the press pool isn't there. The Newsmax host notes that this is an example of Trump's attacks on the press "backfiring just a little bit"

The problem with how Trump floods the zone and everyone just stays in that doom loop is that you miss the important news. The Christian fundamentalists in MAGA should actually care about Russia hitting one of Christianity’s holy sites

Just a reminder that past motives for assassination attempts have included: "because the ghost of William McKinley told me to," "to save the trees" and "to impress Jodie Foster."

Didn't bend, didn't cower, didn't even feel the need to stand next to Trump grinning awkwardly like it was normal. And now he's emerged unscathed with his job and his dignity intact and his reputation even stronger than before. Huh. Seems like this could be a model for others in power.

BREAKING: Senate Republicans blocked my War Powers Resolution that would have ended Trump's unnecessary, unjustified war against Iran. These cowards have had four chances to stop this chaos in the Middle East. And they put Trump's ego before America. Every damn time.

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.

My FiL had dementia and required a memory care facility. I don’t see that in Trump, although if you listen to an interview with him in the ‘90’s the contrast is stark. For me, Group B personality disorders is sufficient to explain his abnormalities. I respect your opinion though.

I've said this before but I worry people are losing sight of what is actually happening by catastrophizing a new Holocaust which I do not see as likely. The ongoing harm is mass deportation itself; the terror communities go through during roundups, the families torn apart, and the lives disrupted.

1. It was not an accident. 2. It was not a staffer. 3. While the president may have dementia his racism is not due to dementia. 4. He isn’t sorry. He means every racist thought he shares. 5. His base agrees with him. 6. He will do it again. 7. No one in power will hold him accountable.

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

Folks demanding political / ideological purity fail to see that this is no longer a movement belonging to the left / liberals. This is an opposition against fascism. By definition it must be big tent. Failure to grasp this: see divided oppositions in Eastern Europe as your failed examples.

Swearing in isn’t some ceremony. You aren’t a member of Congress until it happens. He knows that. No phones, no staff, nothing. I had to escort her into the Capitol on Wed bc Capitol police must treat her as a public visitor until she’s sworn in. And solo visitors aren’t allowed during shutdown!

There is a difference between righteous anger, directed at injustice, and hateful anger, directed at those who are different. Authoritarian regimes deliberately conflate the two to silence criticism and create false equivalence. It's important we don't let those in power succeed in this endeavor.

Because this administration thinks everyone believes the rules only matter when it helps “your side” (like they do), they are counting on Comey’s unpopularity to normalize this. Don’t let it. Whatever you think of him or his actions in the past, etc. this indictment is dangerous and an outrage.
