If/when the Dems manage to regain complete control of both Houses, their #1 priority must be tamper-proof, future-proof legislation to drastically reduce Presidential powers/privileges to ensure this yr's shitfest can never be repeated by any person/party. Ever.

Convinced the US is now a giant Robert Altman film. The US Pres nodding off in the middle of a cabinet meeting right out of Nashville/MASH. Altman would *so* appreciate the dark, dreadful comedy the US has become. Mock Trump mercilessly until he cracks. Unhinged rants are signs this is happening.

What's hard to understand is why America's reaction right now just seems to be "Meh..."
“Trump keeps pounding the podium about a ‘war on drug traffickers’ while quietly handing out pardons and commutations to dozens of convicted traffickers—including major conspiracy cases. Hard to sell toughness when your mercy list reads like a DEA roster.”

Q from a non-American...
Are any...(or how many) major US media outlets are outraged and/or giving major prominence to Trump bombing boats/machine-gunning survivors...and pardoning a major narco figure planning to import 400 tons of toot into the US ?

Keep repeating once you're named/shamed and held to account. Sounds like a perfect defence and sure to be understood/accepted by the jury + yr friends, family & colleagues.

OK - so thanks to global time differences, I get my first daily Bsky hit when the US is asleep - and have to say Tue is off to a pretty good start. Really does seem the US is now at Trump/GOP breaking point *and* with plans for challenging/resisting current status quos.
Good start ! More please !

So I assume we're going to eventually reach the point in the Epstein sex trafficking case where Trump starts claiming that the REAL victims were the rich men who were *clearly* seduced by unscrupulous young women pretending to be of legal age as part of an old-fashioned (not crypto) honeypot scam? 🙄

The BBC has told Trump he can sit'n'swivel as regards his $billion law suit. Sorry about the bad edit - but that's about as far as it goes.

Next time a GOP time-server starts ranting on abt 'ANTIFA', could some plucky journo plse ask for...uh...clarification abt what they think 'Antifa' actually means, and if then being Antifa identifies you by definition as being pro-fascism. Or 'Profa' as those of us who are tremendously hip call it.
