I don’t know why anyone is surprised about Trump by this point. He literally stood up during a nationally televised debate and screamed about PEOPLE EATING CATS AND DOGS … and people STILL voted for him.
In a scathing review, the top US medical journal's editorial board warned that the "destruction that Kennedy has wrought in 1 in office might take generations to repair."
Some day we'll all regret this & we'll hold hearings & rend garments & pledge "never again" & we'll be just as full of shit as we were last time.
Minneapolis still marching until the ICE agents are all out!
"Day of Democracy March" at Stewart Park, Minneapolis.
Look at that GIANT Rebel Loon!

I had really hoped that I wouldn’t be spending the last years of my life fighting MAGA, a resurgent white nationalism and rampant racism … but sometimes the fight finds you.
Power to the People!
Welp
"It's a purposeful omission of what is happening right now. And, and the omission is so severe, it ventures over into being a lie."
@timmiller.bsky.social and @jvl.bsky.social tear into George W. Bush for his useless "criticism" of Trump.
Every time you speak up - and every time you don't - there are people watching and learning about you and the world you help create.
Calling it now: the US political media's treatment of AOC is going to make their treatment of Hillary Clinton or Al Gore look like a model of balance and discretion.
It appears that I am unable to discuss the EPA's current course of action without considerable cursing.
Right-wing Heritage Foundation’s own data shows fewer than 100 noncitizens voted since 1982 (!!!)

Regardless of what you think about Hilary Clinton, she was right about all of it and now the US is paying a very steep price for not electing her. It didn't have to be this way and it will take a long time for the US to recover if it can at all.

Wow.
hard to think of a better example of "you may not believe in class war, but billionaires know they're in one" than this
A movement led by a born-rich billionaire with an Ivy League degree, a Yale lawyer/venture capitalist who wrote a book looking down on the working class, the world’s richest man, and a scion of the most famous political family on a fad diet of “ferments”—and the term for this movement is “populist”?
ICE agent: “I fired 5 shots. She had 7 holes. Put that in your book, boys.” 😳
"The rise of Trump came at a time of relative peace and prosperity. We have no excuse for having succumbed to the degree we already have."
James Comer is bringing Hillary Clinton before his committee to testify about Epstein despite having zero contact with him, but not Epstein’s neighbor Howard Lutnick who lied about his connections to Epstein over many years which is proven in the files.
Insightful. Inspiring. And brilliantly on point.
@hillaryclinton.bsky.social would have made such a great president.

The president of the United States had his DOJ raid the Fulton County election office and seized ballots. This is clearly a dry run for 2026. Yet, this is treated by too many in legacy media as normal.

Clear-eyed, powerful piece. @ezrakleinbot.bsky.social at his best.
Reminder: All it would take to end the murder of American citizens by an untrained government goon squad is 16 Republicans in Congress voting with Dems to defund ICE (or 23 to impeach and remove Trump — 3 in House & 20 in Senate). That’s it. 23 Americans can vote for the public and end all of this.
DOJ lies.
DHS lies.
ICE lies.
That has been established. Do not repeat their claims as fact. Their claims are arguments or, often, misleading propaganda — when not outright lies.
They are seeking to make a case for their lawlessness (and to please Trump), not seeking to inform.
Alex Pretti, the man killed by federal agents today in Minneapolis, appears to have been a registered nurse, an athlete, a son and a brother, with ties to Colorado and Wisconsin.
Here is a photo he used for several accounts.
"Responsibility for the catastrophe overtaking America now rests with Trump's enablers—people who have to know that he’s a sick man but continue to support his depredations.
Some of these enablers are monsters themselves."

Another proud day for America.
McGovern: Well, he said a lot of crazy shit today. I think it’s time to take the keys away from grandpa. He doesn’t seem like he’s all there.
One thousand f*ucking percent.
