Best case: The President of the United States knew about a pedophilia ring and did nothing to stop it.
Medium case: He also used his office to protect the perpetrators.
Worst case: Because he was one of the perpetrators.

We’re in the midst of the consolidation of an American fascist regime.
They’re building concentration camps and setting up a secret police force which has already arrested opposition elected officials.
And yet, big parts of our political and media elite are acting as if nothing has changed.

While I think that the next act will involve all manner of voter suppression and election cheating, this rumor I have seen going around is fortunately untrue.

FACT FOCUS: Trump's 'Big Beautiful Bill' does not let him delay or cancel elections
That's false. There is nothing in the legislation that would allow Trump, or any future president, to stop an election from going forward.

Texting STOP to all the random Dems that the DNC gave my number to is getting to be a full time job. Doesn’t pay very well, though.

Attacking Iran fits with Trump’s desire to divert attention from his failures at home: his losses in the courts, his unpopular budget bill, millions of people protesting against his authoritarianism.
When he feels humiliated, he gets reckless.
Understand what's going on.

Can’t have a Joe Rogan of the left because it would mean there’s an army of mindless left-leaning tools, I mean listeners, and that isn’t happening because we are out living our lives with actual women and kids and hobbies and stuff.

The fact that there's an ASL interpreter there.... Thank you @aoc.bsky.social 🥹😍🤟🏼

Trump saying he’s definitely not going to fire Powell totally means he’s definitely going to fire Powell, right? Has the market learned nothing?
(Yeah, I know he “can’t” fire home, but he will find a way to get rid of him somehow.)

You may be fearing your 401k is no longer enough for you to retire. But with all the cuts to NIH and Medicare you also won't live as long. So the policies are integrated.

Somehow not surprising.
WATCH: “Ron Vara is an anagram of Navarro.”
@maddow.msnbc.com explains how Trump’s tariffs policy came from his economic advisor Peter Navarro, who invented a fake expert in his books to justify it🤦🏻♂️ 🤦🏼
And now markets are crashing 🎪 #TrumpTradeWar #AmericanBrexit

As a former child junior olympic-level runner, I have a few thoughts on the attacks on trans girls in sports. I ran for one of the most competitive teams in Southern California, and people who ran for my have gone on to become professional athletes. And these bans: they're fucking NONSENSE. 🧵
