If you’ve got a badge and a gun but think your actions are shameful enough to need a mask, you should quit.

Now everyone understands why some of us, and @elienyc.bsky.social louder than anyone, were screaming for SCOTUS expansion from the moment Biden won.

The Constitution is under attack. The Rule of Law is under attack. Due Process is under attack. Freedom of speech is under attack. Our financial system is under attack. Democracy is under attack. Trump and Maga are the enemy. Scotus is corrupt. Congress is complicit.

West Coast numbers are coming in, and estimates have now surpassed 5 million. People are still pouring into the streets—nearly 2% of the American population is rising up. America, we are so proud of you. You did it.

Mark Kelly: "This is not surprising. Here's a guy who told Americans to inject bleach into their bodies, who sent a mob to Capitol Hill. And now I think it's fair to say he stands out as singlehandedly destroying more wealth with his bad decisions than anybody else who has ever lived on this planet"

Sen. Booker’s speech was a substantive and moral account of this moment. He did not read the phone book. He did not babble. For 24 hours @booker.senate.gov laid out a detailed, damning, and critical narrative of truth, history, politics, morality, humanity. What will you do?

THAT is how we should cover trump’s claims of inherent power or his intent to run for a third term. not as something allowed by some unforeseen loopholes (“the card says moops!”) but as a statement that he intends to ignore the constitution altogether in pursuit of power. (5)

I have nothing to add to this, other than to say I will not be buying a car anytime soon. For those who have no choice, just remember Trump caused you to pay more. If you voted for him hoping for lower prices, you voted against your own self interest.

Hegseth and his pals were using the Signal app instead of official government channels because official channels would have required that the conversations be recorded and archived. They didn't want anyone to know of the skullduggery they were planning. They are all corrupt as hell!
