Not just one fault, either. Citizen’s United, Dobbs, Trump v USA…even considering the horrific Dred Scott decision, Chief Justice Roberts has outdone Roger B. Taney.😞😡 @gtconway.bsky.social @stevevladeck.bsky.social @leahlitman.bsky.social

Latest piece out in @theatlantic.com . Trump's "peace" plan for Ukraine, which he at this very moment trying to force on the country with threats and intimidation, is grotesque. The US president is admitting what too many refused to admit, he wants Putin to win. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

Women of America: you can be sure that if Trump hisses “Quiet Piggy” to a female reporter who asked a very reasonable question, he has absolutely NO respect for women in general.
The only way he’ll “get it” is if you vote Republicans out of office, every chance you get.

1/Catherine Lucey, the White House correspondent for Bloomberg, asked Donald Trump about releasing the Epstein files on Air Force One over the weekend. In response, Trump leaned forward, slashing an accusatory finger her direction and barked, “Quiet! Quiet Piggy,” at her.

Why did not a single male reporter who were standing next to the president and the female reporter he called "piggy" say a word to the president about this and call him out then and there? Those who keep quiet in these moments are part of the problem.

Trump is so dumb sometimes. he thinks by going after Dems connected to Epstein it will some how help him. Like Dem electeds will back off because they are scared. The difference between GOP and Dems is that GOP won't hold Trump accountable, Dems say hold them all accountable.

Bullies gain power when their misconduct succeeds in causing righteous people to yield in the face of wrongdoing. That’s why voting for Trump's continuing resolution - without any protection against his health care cuts or his growing illegality - is a mistake.

A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.

Some people can’t understand that the Democratic Party is a coalition of groups and the Republican Party is a ideological based party, and they insist on applying Republican structure on to Democrats
i want to repeat this: mamdani and spanberger have run similar campaigns tailored to their respective electorates and it is maddening to watch political journalists attempt to create some broad contrast where none exist
the other thing about this is that there is no reason to pit these candidates against each other? each are good fits for their respective electorates and each shows the value of vigorous campaigns focused on the stated material problems of voters.

Honestly, I don't think Trump's incomprehension of political asylum has anything to do with his serious personality-disorder-related psychiatric afflictions and his seeming dementia, which both raise 25th Amendment questions. I do, however, think it reflects his utter stupidity ….
The president of the United States thinks asylum-seekers come from mental asylums.
He says it in almost every interview where the topic of migration comes up.
How is this not 25th Amendment territory? How is he not an embarrassment to this entire country?
