Yesterday, Trump was threatening a reporter. Today, he coerced ABC to kick Kimmel off the air.

He's also suing NYT & WSJ for reporting the truth. And it's not just media: he's threatening private companies, colleges, Congress—everyone.

Enough. NONE OF US should cave. We ALL need to push back.

If you understand the song “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” by Deep Blue Something as being about a couple who both have Memento amnesia and keep having the same conversation over and over it’s actually pretty amazing

My feeling is that it's not unserious to spend time on the question of whether someone about to be hired for one of the most powerful jobs in the world drugged and raped a woman (as she alleges and he denies)

every single one of these guys is an incel loser who thought that being rich would make them popular and well-liked and when it didn't happen they lost their minds even further
Rogan interview with Zuckerberg that dropped this morning is something to behold. basically him dumping years of anger at the media, the government, social discussion

clearly all pent up for years and now allowing himself to do it because of Trump coming to power

$347B from programs to (among other things) feed poor kids so the richest man in the world can have his tax cut.
The GOP's "menu" of reconciliation pay-fors (via Politico) makes it clear that cost-savings aren't possible without deep cuts to Medicaid — these big-ticket proposals will both hurt beneficiaries *and* piss off governors.

it is so important to remember that IN THE MOMENT there was no one who thought jan. 6 was some innocent protest gone awry. everyone recognized it for what it was.
At the time, everyone, including Republicans, understood how bad it was. Then, brick by brick, they built a foundation of lies to justify doing what they know, deep down, to be wrong. Trump betrayed the country. And so do they.

this urge to launder rfk jr. as “just a guy who is right about a few things” is such a perfect example of how liberals are people who won’t take their own side in a fight

Warning: Just as the FBI investigation into the deadly New Orleans terror attack begins, Donald Trump is preparing to pardon and unleash well over 1000 domestic terrorists who violently seized the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021.

Trump persists in calling J6 domestic terrorists “patriots.”

This isn’t rocket science. He lied. He pushed erroneous garbage without knowing facts, knowing full well his base will never pay attention to the clarification.

Just a reminder that if these terror attacks happened a few weeks later, Kristi Noem would be in charge of Homeland Security.

America's richest 10% now hold 60% of the nation's wealth.

The bottom half of America? It holds just 6%.

Wealth inequality is eating this country alive.

CNN’s sanewashing of Trump is beyond ridiculous. In the latest example, they wrote today that Trump “teased US territorial expansion” when he repeated his insane ideas that Canada should become the 51st state and the US should purchase Greenland from Denmark. It truly is the banality of crazy.
