A key asymmetry of this era of American politics and how it’s covered is that Trump is expected to do bad and corrupt things, so when he does it barely qualifies as news. But Dems are expected to be beyond reproach, so anything that seems even slightly suspect is a huge scandal.

Getting close to blocking anyone in my mentions arguing that the Biden pardon of his son is a big deal. It's just not.
I absolutely do not care.
You cannot make me.
Do not try.

It should be noted that the original person who said this is @mollycrabapple.bsky.social - artist and activist. I find it odd that her name got cropped out of the original screenshot (from an article in LA Times, btw) and the uncredited version is the one that makes the viral rounds.

Both Texas and Georgia are destroying evidence of all maternal mortality, blocking proof that women are dying from abortion bans.
This story has a lot more going on than you think. Especially since Republicans are lying about the public cases.

Republicans don't care if women die from abortion bans — but they don't want you to know about it
Women will keep dying, but the GOP is working hard to destroy the evidence

David Corn of Mother Jones writes about my past reporting on FBI director nominee Kash Patel's repeated promoting of QAnon.
THIS JUST IN: Kash Patel, Donald Trump's pick to head the FBI, has embraced the nutty and dangerous QAnon conspiracy movement—which has sparked acts of violence. Not a good look for an FBI director. Read all about it:

Ben is the obvious choice here.
If we’re going to take on Trump, Republican extremists, and move our country forward, the Democratic Party needs to be stronger. I'm running for Chair of the Democratic National Committee to unite the party, fight everywhere, and win. Join me. 🧵
Unite. Fight. Win.

From his early coverage of political reporters’ savaging Al Gore to his incisive critique of their Joe Biden coverage right before he died, he got it. And he will be missed.

There seems to be a vast under-appreciation for the lines we’ve crossed and the world we’re in.
Trump’s win has basically put us in a post-rules world.
People in power don’t feel constrained by rules and any remaining checks don’t feel empowered to be checks.
This reality has not set in yet.

When I was a lawyer in the White House, I can’t stress enough how much we all cared about following the rules - the black letter law and the informal limits of tradition, morality and shame.
You really can’t fathom yet what it will mean for the most powerful actors to care about none of that.

I shudder to think what he would do to rape prevention programs in the Military.
Pete Hegseth published a story saying sex with an unconscious woman isn’t rape. To be clear, he didn’t write it, but he published it.
This is who Trump the misogynist, sexual predator relates to ~ other misogynistic sexual predators. It’s beyond disgusting. 🤢

This sort of democratic backsliding, where Republicans seek to overturn the effect of an election by reallocating powers away from positions they have lost, has become almost routine now. But it should remain shocking.
Heads up:
North Carolina Republicans just voted to strip the state's incoming Democratic governor and attorney general of key powers — passing a sweeping bill before the GOP most likely loses its veto-proof supermajority in the Legislature next year.

Good advice to everyone on BlueSky
You can voice your opinion about Kash Patel without retweeting DT. PLEASE do not turn BlueSky into Twitter/X by continually retweeting him. Let’s not become a garbage dump for Truth Social. Just state your viewpoint without platforming him. Thanks.
