Brazil’s Supreme Court convicted Jair Bolsonaro of attempting a coup and sentenced him to 27 years in prison.
Which is what should have happened to Donald Trump after J6.

Hey @housedemocrats.bsky.social Maybe it is time to start shouting about voodoo economics. Been a long time since that was a hot topic, but it sure looks like Trump has pulled it off the shelf. Get loud!

Watching MTP this morning, Kristy Noem made it sound like we only _just now_ got Canada to share criminal background info on their people crossing into the US. They've been denying entry to Americans with so much as a DUI for decades. Have we really been not getting reciprocal info for decades?

This should be 25th amendment level conduct. The president ordered water to be released from a random dam in California nowhere near the wildfires and then claimed it would help. That’s literally Mad King behavior.

Respectfully (and I genuinely mean this), I’ve never heard a single regular person ask for “bipartisanship.” That’s inside nonsense.
They want things to work.
If the other party refuses to work for people, be the ones who will. Fight for people. Make it plain who isn’t, and who THEY’RE for.

It is time to look to the future.
The challenges that face America are many and great.
The Senate must respond with resolve, bipartisanship, and fidelity to the working and middle class of this country.

Hey Dems, when you win back power all the norms about not getting rid of the last administration's hires is out the window, OK? No Monica Goodling leftovers in the next D admin, OK? If you're so hung up on norms to oppose this idea, there's no point in voting for you at all.
A very polite way of saying that there will be retribution against Trump’s political enemies.

Clownshoes are better than jackboots.
I mean, I’ll take an incompetent buffoon hated by his own party over a skilled attorney who knows how to weaponize the DOJ bureaucracy any day.
But holy shit, this country is a bad joke.

Worth remembering that in 2009 Obama's DHS produced a report about the growing threat of right-wing extremism. When the report leaked, GOP went crazy. DHS apologized and disavowed it.
In the years since, we've seen an insurrection and multiple mass shootings targeting minorities.
