To all Repubs crying that they lost friends/family: We told you over & over. It wasn’t “just a vote”. It was a vote against decency, core values & women’s lives. It was a vote against our country & democracy. So now you’ll all have to live with the consequences. You did this. You’re not victims.

I truly believe today is the lowest point in American history.
And the terrifying thing is, I don't think we're going anywhere but down—unless We The People decide we will not.

NEW: Caroline Kennedy issues a stark warning about her “predator” cousin, RFK Jr., Trump’s nominee to lead HHS.
In a letter sent to Senators, Kennedy described her cousin as “addicted to attention and power” and alleged that his “crusade against vaccination” has also served to enrich him.

With pardons, January 6 offenders are now free to possess firearms and ammunition again. Their convictions would have made that a federal crime, but no more.

Just in case people don’t fully grasp it. The pardoning of insurrectionists is Trump’s way of building loyalty from militias and domestic terrorists to carry out unofficial acts for him

Trump: I’m going to pardon the Jan 6th inmates I sent to beat our police officers and hang my VP because I refused to leave office peacefully.
Biden: Before I leave office peacefully, I’m going to pardon my only living son.

There’s no such thing as working productively with MAGA nihilists like Elon, Vivek and RFK, Jr. They want to bring down our Republic. Don’t normalize them by pointing out a few of their good ideas.

A key asymmetry of this era of American politics and how it’s covered is that Trump is expected to do bad and corrupt things, so when he does it barely qualifies as news. But Dems are expected to be beyond reproach, so anything that seems even slightly suspect is a huge scandal.

Takes like this are nuts. How did Trump justify his last couple hundred pardons, one more nakedly obscene, political and personal than the next? Answer - he didn’t. Trump doesn’t bother justifying or explaining anything He does what he wants. Always has, always will. Wake up.

So a reminder:
It’s not ‘liberals’ saying Hegseth abuses women. It’s his mom.
It’s not ‘liberals’ comparing Trump to Hitler. It’s his vice-president.
It’s not ‘liberals’ calling Musk a liar and a racist. It’s his own child.
For the record.

Trump's $25k to Pam Bondi was part of a larger trend:
- $35k to Greg Abbott (declined to pursue Trump U as TX AG)
- $50k from Trump atty to Cy Vance (declined to indict Don Jr/Ivanka as Manhattan DA)
- Fundraising for Rudy Giuliani (SDNY halted probe into alleged Mob ties)

The Gaetz report isn't a national security threat if released. They've decided that although we paid for the report, we're not entitled to see it. What kind of malarkey is it when nothing is our business, anymore?
To whom it may concern: Leak it. We're not experiencing normal times, anymore.

Meanwhile Ladapo's partner in anti-vaccination group America's Frontline Doctors, Stella Immanuel, says she's been nominated to join RFK Jr.'s staff.
She's the one who claims alien DNA is being used in medical treatments and that fibroids are caused by demon sperm.

Politico is reporting Trump will name Dr. Ladapo of Florida to a senior spot, likely Surgeon General or Assistant HHS.
This would be a horrifying pick for trans people. He's responsible for Florida's adult trans ban, and works with SEGM/Anti-trans global movement.
He's also an ardent anti-vaxxer.
