It is, in fact, possible to impeach and remove President Trump from office next week. It won't happen, however, because Republicans also support Putin and Russia and agree with Trump.

ICE kidnapped a young man from his family in New Jersey. His young siblings shouted for help and clung to him; masked Nazi agents pushed them to the ground. They couldn’t stop the kidnapping. The youngest, a little girl, collapsed in distress. Repost if you hate ICE.

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social @chuckschumer.com UNDERSTAND the assignment. It is NOT to “look for common ground”. If we win it is NOT a “validation” of your leadership or DEM strength. It is a CHALLENGE to take down this authoritarian regime. Get on board or get out of the way & let others lead.
A sentiment calling for DEMS to relentlessly pursue the rule of law, accountability.

These people inside NIH working on grants are really the best of the country, people who are not being paid big bucks but care about the mission; care about something bigger than themselves.

If you put the heat in a bathtub you could also boil them!

Can they run a cold bath or at least fill a sink? Water holds a lot of heat. as a first approximation for energy, volume, and time scales, you could imagine how long it might take to boil a relatively shallow pan of over water the size of your roof fire. Can they pull heat faster than that?

Also: if you've ever wondered why so many politicians & urban cosplayers who try to "appeal to rural areas" do it by dressing up in Wranglers and buying a Ford F-250? That IS, functionally, what a lot of "authentic rural culture" is at this point. Cosplay. So... are the cosplayers really wrong?

“Party of responsibility,” they said. But it’s not hard to track deficits over the last forty-odd years, if any “fiscal conservative“ actually cares. Just disgusting incompetence and grift.

Quintessential Trump: In 2025, Trump axed the program to combat New World Screwworm, stating that they had "saved" $1.5 million a year. In 2026, the Trump announces a $1 billion emergency program to combat the Screwworm outbreak. $1 billion would have funded the old program for 667 years.

The SCOTUS has become so bold that they went from "This is the outcome we want, so we'll pretend/twist the law to fit the decision we want to get to" to "This is the outcome we want, so we're not even going to consider lower court rationale, apply the law, or pretend like laws matters for our side."

My general view on impeachment is that it is Constitutionally prescribed duty, not an option. A Congressperson who takes an oath to defend the Constitution and then treats impeaching a President who is a direct threat to the Constitution as optional is violating this oath.

In unusual deal, a $1.8 billion fund that could help Trump allies is created
The agreement to end the Trump family's lawsuit against the IRS grants a commission broad authority to distribute nearly $1.8 billion to those who, like the president, have claimed they have been targets of a
"weaponized" justice system.

How deluded by your news source do you have to be to not recognize that republicans always, always, always tank the economy and balloon the debt? They give us a bit of line, encouraging sincere labor to build up the coffers, and then sluice all the wealth to lazy rich people.

From what I understand about the mathematics of gerrymandering, you can help but shave off a bit of the reliable margins from one district into a potential edge in another. My hope is that this bullshit bites them good and hard this year.

Ed Krassenstein This exchange between SenBlumenthal and Trump’s judicial nominees is utterly astounding. If you can watch this and still think this country isn’t falling into authoritarianism and fascism under Donald Trump, then you are not being honest with yourself.

I worked with federal judges for 36 years. A couple dozen of them, in total. Some were better; some left a lot to be desired. None were this pathetic. None. Not remotely. This shows an absence of the baseline independence and mettle one needs to be a decent judge (for life, no less).

Comic panel of Donald Duck and a wide-eyed young Mickey Mouse. Donald's speech bubble: "Democrats should do a huge middle class tax cut to address affordability." Mickey's speech bubble: "Fool that you are, for you treat taxation as a burden rather than the means by which our burdens are eased. Behold a civilization rich in private wealth yet starved of public provision, where every man owns what his grandfathers could not imagine and yet trembles at the thought of how he will weather an illness or loss of livelihood. Will you fight for an affirmative vision of broad contribution and universal benefit? Or will you perish like a dog?"

Just a quick reminder that Ronald Reagan yanked the solar panels off the White House. If America had remained on the path Jimmy Carter set us on, nobody would be talking about the Strait of Hormuz or gas prices right now. Republicans have been fucking America and the world for decades.
