The Senate hearing with Jack Smith farce has taken the headlines (on purpose?), but this 👇 is absolutely a disaster. Trump and Patel's gutting of the FBI has led to a data breach that endangers all agents and their families, as well as national security. A tsunami of shit is hitting the fan.

Trump promised green cards for “the best and brightest”—but he’s making legal immigration a gauntlet of red tape, fees, and threats.

All Trump’s malevolence and psychosis will be on full display right after the midterms. We’ve been here before in Nov 2020, and here we go again. The national nightmare of Trump refusing to accept defeat and dragging the country through lies, conspiracies and drama begins again.

This is absolutely correct, but I worry that "truth and reconciliation" will sound too foreign to Americans who have long been allergic to truth and/or reconciliation. I'd just say "we're finally going to hold people who broke the law and violated the Constitution accountable for their crimes"

In destroying the Voting Rights Act and gutting the 14th and 15th amendments, the Roberts court is recycling legal arguments once advanced by Confederates and white supremacists to destroy Reconstruction. From me and @ariberman.bsky.social

Jim Crow was on the ash heap of history. Then came the Roberts court.

Transparency is part of the process of democratic governance. It’s irritating for leaders, but indispensable for democracies. It’s what permits the electorate to understand the truth about the wars they’re asked to support and to fight. And it’s what binds the people to the armies that serve them.

Whenever Republicans say gas prices spiked “under Biden” they always fail to mention that it coincided with Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. But Trump promised dozens of times during the campaign that he had a secret plan to end the war in 24 hours & said it “wouldn’t even be hard.”
