If you’re feeling uneasy, it’s probably because we now know we live in a country built on the blackmail of a dead pedophile who is Too Big to Fail, so Congress has to go home for a couple of months to figure out how talk about it without defenestrating the president and collapsing the economy.

On today of all days, We (THE PEOPLE) say “No kings in America!”
This is 😡
If you don’t think this moment of symbolism is 100% deliberate, you haven’t been paying attention.

The Speaker surrendering his gavel is purposeful, self-subjugation to the “King”. Congress betraying its role & yielding its power.

All on #July4th too.

This is an absolute lie and @rogermarshall.bsky.social knows it.
Roger Marshall: "When they talk about people not being on Medicaid anymore, half of those people are on it because of fraud or some type of abuse of the system, the other half is because they're unwilling to work 20 hours a week."

What a contrast:

On the one hand, one grandiose spectacle in the nation's capital, a panorama of propaganda put on by an aspiring autocrat.

On the other hand, thousands of assemblies of free citizens across the nation, authentic celebrations of the proposition that here the people rule.

So, to be clear, Musk has now admitted he funded a man he believes to be a pedophile to be president.

And Trump has now admitted that he gave access to high level government secrets to a man he believes to be a big time drug addict.

This should be *the* story on the Sunday shows tomorrow.
Trump called Musk "a big-time drug addict" in a phone call shortly after their public feud. (WaPo)

To everyone who told me to “calm down” in 2016 -

The sociopathic sexual predator business fraud felon you put back in the office he tried to steal just stood in the White House & said that he wants to send American citizens to concentration camps in El Salvador.

So, fuck you.

@davids.house.gov, @sharicedavids.bsky.social ~ Will you call on Pete Hegseth and Co to resign?
Today, I am calling on Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth and other top officials in the Trump administration to resign immediately due to their reckless and unlawful disclosure of national security secrets. Their actions have put our country at risk, and immediate accountability is necessary

It's surreal doing all the "normal" things--watching my kid's soccer game, folding laundry, grocery shopping--in the middle of a kleptocratic coup.

I hope people see how truly alarming this is:

1. Musk's team, who may not even be US govt employees yet, have complete access to OPM's databases of PII on federal employees and have locked out career employees

2. Musk's people trying to do same with THE US TREASURY MASTER PAYMENT SYSTEM 🚨

At bedtime last night, our youngest said to me, “Mom, that was a hullabaloo today! So many people!” Can you tell she’s been falling asleep to Peppa Pig stories?

A lot of people think everything will work out if we just play by the rules but don’t seem to recognize that rules only matter when everyone agrees to follow them and, well, that isn’t our present reality.
