A DOGE employee stole your private Social Security information, put it on a thumb drive, and went bragging to his new employer about it.

He’s expecting a presidential pardon if convicted. This is right out of Trump’s corrupt playbook.

When our opposition is capitalistic warmongering vampires, very true.

The day I finally realized war solely and explicitly exists to make profit for a few people and a few companies was the day my cynicism increased tenfold. I'm no doomer, and I wouldn't be the socialist I am if I didn't think a better world was both worth working for and possible, but dear god.

rip, gone too soon 😢

Why does KKKarolyin' look like the dutiful wife standing beside her husband trope there, she ain't first lady

W o w, yeah

Seems like a violation of the free press rights. Again.

In some ways, it feels like that was absolutely crazy shit to live through. In many others, it feels almost quaint compared to today's crazy shit we are living through.

🎯🎯🎯🎯 this is a presidency term he wanted for revenge and to stay out of prison. That's it. That's the goal.

Seems so. I said this about it yesterday: bsky.app/profile/aqua...

It's impossible to get a flattering photo of him, so I dunno what their problem is because it's not the photographer or camera's fault

As a Kentuckian, nothing would make me happier than seeing our state turn on him and Republicans. (Well. Short of the day McConnell dies, that's a statewide holiday forever when it happens.)

I already bring these to protests to hand out to folks there, so I mean...

I feel a need to repeat I get closer every day to flying to DC w/ enough pocket-sized constitutions to deliver them to every Congressional office w/ a: "hi, your boss, a member of Congress, hasn't read this even though they swore an oath to it! Thought I'd fuckin' help out -- now they have a copy!"

Yep. (And side note, I'm also tired of people trying to say it's antisemitic to point this out. Being critical of Israeli government and their policy is not antisemitism.)

Sure, but also: let them dig their own graves 🍿

UK government publishes files about the appointment of Epstein friend Mandelson to ambassador post The British government has published a batch of documents related to the appointment of Peter Mandelson, a friend of Jeffrey Epstein, as U.K. ambassador to the United States.

The British government has published a batch of documents related to the appointment of Peter Mandelson as U.K. ambassador to the United States. Lawmakers forced the disclosure after revelations about Mandelson’s friendship with Jeffrey Epstein.

The Trump administration is once again lying about numbers to cover it up, like COVID in the first term. "It didn't happen if we don't report" policy

I forgot this jackass is in my state this week. Man, leave Kentucky out of this

I nominate: The pervcentage of creepy old men in the Republican party

Honestly, this right here is why I kinda think pollsters' hot take of "the Democratic Party is more unpopular than the GOP" doesn't hit the way they think it does. Democratic LEADERSHIP is fucked, sure, yes, absolutely replace them, but voters clearly hate Republicans in general more than that.

🔵 Democrats flip another seat in the New Hampshire State House.

Democrat Bobbi Boudman wins a special election in a Trump+9 district, after losing the same seat by 14 points in 2024. A 13-point Democratic overperformance.

Some Conservatives have crossed recently-ish too, right? Is this some weird "welp better toss my lot in with Carney and the Liberals while the getting looks good" thing out of self interest/likely miscalculation on their (the crossers') part about the Liberals long term trajectory, or what?

yes

Damn: this is quite the thread from a policymaker with first-hand knowledge of the Trump admin's thinking (and lack thereof) when it comes to Iran.

yes!!

NEWS: Democrat Shawn Harris has forced a runoff in the special election for Marjorie Taylor Greene’s deep-red Georgia seat (Trump +37).

With ~70% in, Harris leads with 38.3% to Trump-endorsed Republican Clay Fuller’s 34.5%.

Runoff set for April 7. A major warning sign for MAGA.

Relatable. I'm MOSTLY mad about J6 for the domestic terror attack on our country that it was, but I'm also a little mad at J6 because now if the left thinks to try a similar thing should Trump make 2028 moves to run, it's instantly no longer a legitimate tactic for us to get away with like MAGA did.

I swear to god I get closer every day to flying to DC with a ton of pocket-sized constitutions and delivering them to every Congressional office and "hi, your boss, a member of Congress, hasn't read this even though they swore an oath to it, thought I'd fuckin' help out and now they have a copy"
