The Armed Forces are the only thing where President is Commander in Chief. He's not Commander in Chief of the entire government, the country, or its people. I feel like the casual use of the CINC title for POTUS has made us lose sight of that.

I think a thing we'll learn tonight is that people fucking hate what is going on and they will straight ticket vote against anyone involved in starving people while pillaging the country and kidnapping their neighbors. I don't think it matters at all who that person is.

Just need ONE reporter to say 'As Speaker of the House, don't you think that you should be more aware of things going on in the country?'

Not being even vaguely sarcastic:
At some point, a journalist needs to ask Johnson “you regularly claim you have no idea what your own government is doing. If we take you at your word, how are you so poorly informed, and do you this level of ignorance should disqualify you as speaker?”

Q: What's your message to the 170 US citizens who have been detained by ICE? About 20 of them are children
MIKE JOHNSON: I don't know what you're talking about with the children. I haven't seen that so I'm not going to comment on it.

Hey @govpritzker.illinois.gov, you need to do something about these ISP goons attacking protesters like @katmabu.bsky.social.
Police escalated the situation here in Broadview incredibly quickly. Saw multiple brutal arrests. ISP jabbing protesters with their batons like battering rams.
Here ISP lifts @katmabu.bsky.social by her feet to flip her over a concrete barrier.

Can you think of a single movie in which there is a video from the government denouncing its political opponents playing on a loop in public spaces in which that government was the good guy?
A new Noem video is being played at airports trashing Democrats.

The biggest reason I can't take this opinion seriously is because I can guarantee that Mr. Nichols has not written about the dehumanizing language toward trans people all year by Republican politicians. To me, that is far more profane than VP Harris or Mr. Schumer uttering the word "fuck" publicly.

Miller’s apparent elevation to shadow president and his seeming intent to declare an end to the constitutional order would, in any other administration, be treated as a executive branch meltdown that was immensely embarrassing for the president and requiring Miller’s immediate removal

Constitutional checks on power is not terrorism. First Amendment protected free speech is not terrorism. Criticism is not terrorism. The right of the people to peacefully assemble and address grievances toward their government is not terrorism.

ANTIFA is not an organization. It's a sentiment, shared by a great many, against fascism. Here, I'll use it in a sentence:
United forces espousing an ANTIFA sentiment prevailed in two World Wars, whereas forces united in a MAGA sentiment attacked cops and smeared feces on the walls of the Capitol.

This is bad. On two levels. 1. the actions of the trump administration are horrifying. 2. a sitting member of Congress apparently thinks the best he can do is tweet to encourage people to rally and march.
