We've got to face the fact that a third of the country doesn't care if Trump is out of his mind as long as he's as racist and sexist as they are. But we also must recognize that the rest of the country deserves to live in a free country, not a dictatorship. Vote against all Republicans.

You’ve got a party of racist pedophiles funded by an apartheid fanboy and the Dems don’t take shots and the media is too busy signing book deals. Bloody hell.

White supremacist cops take a minority citizen, drive him out to the woods as a threat, and leave him there. No, it's not Mississippi in the 1930s, why do you ask?

His biggest “ally” is US media. No institution has done more to sanitize and normalize his bigotry, his criminality —rapist, felon, insurrectionist— and his buffoonish incompetence than than the mainstream media. The mediocre cowards in the GOP would be nothing w/o compliant media amplifying them.

At some point Democrats will realize they can raise money and win votes by promising to tear down every brick of bullshit he built on day 1. It hasn’t clicked yet, but soon, one of them will stumble on what their base actually wants…

Pete Hegseth gave a speech in front of a backdrop that almost perfectly matches Nazi imagery. Meanwhile, Trump calls opponents “vermin” who he will “root out,” and says the blood of our country is being poisoned. We are far past left vs right. Our choice is democracy or fascism.

Congrats to the NY Times. Trump is calling for its "arrest" on the same day NYT ran a fawning story about his former press secretary, the "steely” and “nimble” Karoline Leavitt. When the Times' staff is frog-marched out of the newsroom at gunpoint, will they realize they brought it on themselves?

Just a reminder: Tillis persuaded the woman Hegseth allegedly raped to come forward with her story, and told her that if she did, it would sink the nomination. She did. At great risk to herself. Tillis then cast the deciding vote for Hegseth. Because he’s a goddamned coward.

They’re on the right track. But the bar isn’t McConnell; he’s the baseline. If Dems get the Senate, they must be far more ruthless than McConnell.

“Originalism is an incoherent doctrine. It allows you to prove anything. Thus what it amounts to is a ritual invocation of the Founders, gesturing at this or that piece of text, before delivering whatever conclusion was approved on Fox News the night before.” www.liberalcurrents.com/we-have-no-s...

DOGE was intended to quickly break government agencies and programs and steal government data for private use before courts could stop it. It succeeded on both fronts and we will be dealing with the fallout for years.

I’ve known many other defense secretaries, starting with Cap Weinberger, who served as defense secretary under Reagan. I can say without fear of contradiction that Pete Hegseth is the stupidest and least qualified of them all. He is a danger to the entire world. He must be impeached.

Wilber Rafael Garces Perez was shot by ICE 10 days ago. The bullet is still lodged in his back. He’s been forced to sleep on the floor and hasn’t been given medication, according to his attorney. Now DHS is claiming he assaulted an agent. Can we trust anything DHS says given its track record?
