I think Bannon is just trying to "own the libs". We need to not go ape shit about it. Instead I think the reaction of - Are you fucking serious? Lol This old demented windbag is all you guys got? You can't come up with something better? 😛
I will NOT get accommodated to this. NEVER!
Steve Bannon tells the Economist that Trump will get a third term:“Trump is gonna be president in ’28 and people ought to just get accommodated with that. There’s many different alternatives...there’s a plan and President Trump will be the president in ’28."

Defend democracy right now--there are 52,000 elections in 2 weeks, in 2025. Voting rules for 2026 in Maine; PA Supreme Court makeup; NJ and VA Gov and state legislatures; and lots more. Off-year elections are all about turnout. Wherever you live, help get out the vote. @hcrichardson.bsky.social

From the people that pretend to be Christian, they hit a clergyman directly while protesting.

They’ve gone from attacking marginalized communities to attacking the community in general. Now they are openly attacking religious institutions.

We can probably agree too many politicians are corrupt and self serving. This one is not. Have a listen.

“The United States is cutting off the kind of foreign aid that keeps children alive for 12 cents a day, but it’s willing to invest far larger sums in a dubious effort to prop up a distant economy — while effectively subsidizing tycoons who made bad investments,” Nicholas Kristof writes.
Opinion | Trump Revives Foreign Aid, Helping Needy Billionaires
As children die for want of cheap medicines, the U.S. spends billions on Argentina — thus rescuing rich investors who made bad bets.

Ex-GOP Miles Bruner details how he
• worked for the GOP,
• found Trump too extreme,
• feared leaving,
• quit, and now
• urges others to quit.

Miles’ message might resonate with those who consider leaving the GOP:

It's obvious that Trump pardoned the J6 criminals to empower domestic terrorists who would help him build a dictatorship. Trump did it even though polls showed most Republican voters opposed pardons for J6 criminals who assaulted cops. Trump did it to build a thug army and normalize violence.
NEW: A Jan. 6 rioter who breached the Senate floor — and was subsequently pardoned by Trump — was arrested Sunday for threatening to assassinate Leader Hakeem Jeffries.
