Not sure why Sarah Kendzior was suspended from here, or that I even care to hear their reason. Fuck that. Protocols over apps? Guess we need to discuss following Sarah on some other AT-enabled platform, and ditching BlueSky entirely?

Great job, @schumer.senate.gov. You've changed the story from "GOP hurting millions of Americans to please unpopular, failing, delusional despot who's destroying his party" to "Dems are too weak and divided in the face of Trump's strength to take a stand and protect Americans"

Schiff voted to confirm one of Trump’s judges roughly an hour before his account posted this.
Donald Trump's deployment of federal agents to San Francisco will not make the city safer or improve the quality of life for residents.
It will only serve to inflame tensions, which is tragically what the president seeks. 🧵

Not being even vaguely sarcastic:
At some point, a journalist needs to ask Johnson “you regularly claim you have no idea what your own government is doing. If we take you at your word, how are you so poorly informed, and do you this level of ignorance should disqualify you as speaker?”

Q: What's your message to the 170 US citizens who have been detained by ICE? About 20 of them are children
MIKE JOHNSON: I don't know what you're talking about with the children. I haven't seen that so I'm not going to comment on it.

Some intrepid reporter ought to ask Trump ASAP, directly, on camera -- "Which Portland, sir?" It's a fair question. For all we know he might be ordering troops into Maine.

What drug did Mary Trump take during pregnancy to cause her son to be born a malignant narcissist? Terrible disease with no apparent cure. Let's spend our tax dollars to study THAT disorder. Looking to "fix" 1-3% of the population? Start with the sociopaths fucking up the world, not the autistic.

The next Democrat for President had better be the sort that is comfortable being on TV, news channels, podcasts, livestreaming 12 hours a day to seize the initiative back. If you're not in voter's faces every second (ahem, Biden) you can be sure Trump is, making nonsense the subject of conversation.

I want to see a whole new class of Democrats willing to ram the most progressive agenda through the next time they’re even technically in a place to do it.
I want elected progressives who obstruct this administration period. No compromises. No bailing out Republicans. Just sand in the gears.

The Signal leak is a prime moment for Democrats to get caught trying. Call for resignations or impeachment hearings or both. Be omnipresent in the media demanding and explaining accountability measures. Don’t let this fade away. Treat this the way the GOP treated Hillary’s emails. Make it a thing.

They claim they can snatch people up, put them on planes, and deport them to a country run by an authoritarian, where those people will be forced to work slave labor at an inhumane prison. All without due process, and in defiance of federal courts.
The hypotheticals are over. This is the nightmare.

What he's done to chase Hamilton away from the Kennedy Center (by replacing the board with loyalists) is exactly what's happening to the US economy, day by day. Atlas is beginning to shrug at Trump's America.
