The height of hypocrisy is Republicans ranting about protecting girls from transgenders in the bathroom, but when given the chance to protect girls from the pedophile in the White House, they chose to cover it up.

We're in the Orbanization of our media system now. It's happening.

CNN's Brian Stelter drew this assessment from GΓ‘bor Scheiring, "who experienced Viktor OrbΓ‘n's autocratic power plays in Hungary firsthand as a member of the Hungarian parliament." view.newsletters.cnn.com/messages/175...

Pretty crazy that Corporate Media spent last 10 years telling US that white dude who: inherited 1/2 $billion from his father, with core policy goals to protect intergenerational wealth & cut basic social services for working families, has gone on a crime spree with no accountability, is a populist.

Who has gone out on a limb to challenge Trump?

Lots of federal district court judges.

Whom did the Supreme Court choose at this moment to rein in (having passed on doing so under Biden)?

Federal district court judges.

I’ve never forgotten this picture from 2016 and how it completely reshaped my understanding of how the media covers protests.

Ban all third world immigration. Legal or illegal. There should be a moratorium on all immigration from the third world. We've reached our capacity. We cannot be the world's soup kitchen anymore.

It's time to ban third world immigration, legal or illegal. We've reached our limit and we have a huge cultural, educational, housing, financial, and essential services problem to fix now because of it. We need a net-zero immigration moratorium with a ban on all third worlders.

Step 1: MAGA wolf warriors say their talking points

Step 2: MAGA regime media β€”outlet founded by Under Secretary for Public Diplomacy Darren Beattie β€”covers the β€œviral moment”

Step 3: Repeat, normalize via online crowd, cover on Fox

Step 4: Set policy based on β€œdemand”

This is modern propaganda.

Trump’s Lie about Dead β€œWhite Farmers” Just Got Even More Grotesque That photo he brandished to Cyril Ramaphosa was from the Democratic Republic of Congoβ€”whose refugees the Trump administration is pointedly not welcoming to America.

Unreal: To sustain his lie about a "genocide" of "white farmers" while meeting with the South African president, Trump used a photo of war deaths in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

I looked into this a bit more. It's worse than it first appeared. 1/

I'm guessing almost everyone knows somebody who has been diagnosed with breast cancer. Now Trump & RFK Jr have just canceled a critical study aimed at figuring out what causes that devastating disease. Disgusting.

What's in Trump and Republicans' massive tax and immigration bill?

Here's a breakdown for you.

I'm the econ policy geek in Congress for @washingtonpost.com. I read the whole bill (really, I did) so you don't have to.

We believe in the Constitution, Bill of Rights, separation of powers, and checks and balances.

The U.S. was founded in opposition to monarchy. We fought for democracy over dictatorship.

What the Trump regime is doing is the antithesis of the values this nation was founded upon.

The House just passed its budget resolution, so reconciliation is now officially underway. This is their bill to destroy Medicaid and SNAP while cutting taxes disproportionately for the rich.

THIS IS VERY REAL and can be enacted even if all Ds vote no.

Thread on what's to come and WHERE TO FIGHT.

This is a United States Senator

MACK: I was laid off from HHS and now people aren’t getting social services, especially people with disabilities

BANKS: You probably deserved it

MACK: Why did I deserve it?

BANKS: Because you look like a clown

NEW β€” This AM former HHS staffers confronted Sen. Jim Banks (R-IN) about slashing budgets and staff, per video shared with me byΒ Mack Schroeder, a former Budget Analyst for the Office of the Secretary.Β 

Banks tells Schroeder he "probably deserved" to lose his job "because you seem like a clown."

A fired HHS worker asks a senator about layoffs that are hurting services for β€œpeople with disabilities” and asks what he’ll do to help them.

Once the senator is safely behind his staff in the elevator, he ignores the suffering & replies that the worker is a β€œclown” who β€œdeserved” to be fired.

It's official, the Trump administration has halted or dropped enforcement against over 100 corporations.

These corporate pardons are further proof the president’s true base is billionaire executives and corporate elites.

If Trump is pulling a nominee because he's worried about losing her seat despite her winning it by 24 points last fall -- and despite he himself carrying the district by 20 -- any Democrat still trying to hedge and moderate their opposition to the administration is a friggin' moron.

In this Ohio diner, it was a tradition: eggs and waffles, big cup of Folgers, then open the old text message app to read about the administration's secret plans to bomb Yemen. But now the woke mob wants to take all of that away.

The Secret Supreme Court Lobbyists Who Want To Stay Hidden Dark money groups tied to conservative power broker Leonard Leo are trying to kill a rule forcing them to disclose who’s funding their judicial pressure campaigns.

This is what Sen Sheldon Whitehouse calls β€œThe Scheme” - looks like different groups filing briefs, but all are tied to Leonard Leo. And Leo wants to stay hidden behind his stained glass curtain. So far, legacy MSM has obliged him.
