For some reason Democratic leaders seem to prefer telling voters what they won’t be able to do, rather than what they’d like to do.

If Hegseth ordered a war crime and lied about it, shouldn’t Ds try for impeachment? Put Rs on the spot. They might get a few defections.

Jeffries says not to expect Democrats to pursue Hegseth impeachment over boat strikes
"Republicans will never allow articles of impeachment to be brought to the floor," he said.

you have to be able to look bad faith in the eye and say absolutely not, even if that bad faith is coming from the highest levels of government

if you can’t, you do not - in any meaningful sense - have an institution, and all the kids who go there will learn is to weaponize bad faith themselves
this is just rank cowardice, the student very obviously disregarded the instructions and the assignment to antagonize her peers and instructors and provoke this exact reaction, society simply can’t function when the people in charge scurry like kicked dogs every time some troll bully says boo

Mark Kelly: "This president, when he says things like 'third world countries,' what is he really saying? I think what he's saying is he doesn't want brown people in our country. And that's disturbing. It's un-American."

The numbers in here are hilarious.

Do you use AI on the job?
Execs: 87%
Managers: 57%
Workers: 27%

Planned investment by 2030: $5T
"Necessary" annual revenue to justify that spend: $650B
Current annual revenue: $50B
Three years into the generative-AI wave, demand for the technology seems surprisingly flimsy
Investors expect AI use to soar. That’s not happening

The Trump administration is causing massive food waste. Immigration raids, tariff changes and temp/ permanent cuts to food assistance programs left farmers short of workers & money, food rotting in fields & warehouses, and MILLIONS of Americans hungry.

A polling thread:
- Support for Trump and the GOP has collapsed over the past few months
- He is now regularly polling in the mid 30s
- Attacking Venezuela more unpopular than his handing of inflation
- Consent of the governed has been withdrawn, regime may be facing a legitimacy crisis 👇
Trump drops 11 points - 11 points! - in the past month in Gallup. Just a staggering decline. 1/

Trump announced a pardon for the ex president of Honduras who was convicted in a huge drug-trafficking case.

Meanwhile, he’s ordering extrajudicial strikes on alleged drug smugglers—state-sanctioned killings with no process, no charges, no evidence presented to a court.

This is authoritarianism.

What he's suggesting is blatantly racist and illegal

Even if he could convince the MAGA Supreme Court justices to go along with any of this, it would tear this country apart

And-unsurprisingly-not a single moment of empathy for Sarah Beckstrom or self-reflection on his role in her being killed
Trump: “I will permanently pause migration from all Third World Countries … denaturalize migrants who undermine domestic tranquility, and deport any Foreign National who is a public charge, security risk, or non-compatible with Western Civilization.“

Worth watching this whole clip. Indistinguishable from Nazi leaders talking about Jews in the 1930s.
TRUMP: If you look at Somalia, they are taking over Minnesota.

REPORTER: What do the Somalians have to do with this Afghan guy who shot the National Guard members?

TRUMP: Ah, nothing. But Somalians have caused a lot of trouble. They're ripping us off.

Exactly.
Good analysis, confirming what has been crystal clear from the start.

“Taking apart a network, experts said, requires capturing people and interrogating them to find out the financiers and leaders. By blowing up the boats, the United States is also destroying the intelligence and evidence.”

The fundamental thing to understand about this administration is the president is a grumpy retiree. He has no interest in working anymore. Which leads to him being pissed that he is getting asked a question, pissed he has to show up and work, the scheming viziers running the show, etc..
