The President of the United States is signaling to his followers that Governor Tim Walz is not a man who can be reasoned with, or a man who should be respected as a duly elected official.

This is exactly the kind of shit that is getting people killed.
"I think the governor of Minnesota is so whacked out, I’m not calling him," Trump told reporters Tuesday aboard Air Force One. "Why would I call him?" he said, adding, "The guy doesn’t have a clue. He’s a, he’s a mess. So, you know, I could be nice and call him, but why waste time?”

President Donald Trump said he won't be calling Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz about the shootings of two state lawmakers, saying it would "waste time."

@connolly.house.gov, step aside NOW. You're as bad as @schumer.senate.gov.

Neither of you is built for the challenges of this dangerous #GOP & #trump regime; nether of you knows how to respond to it. You're HARMING the nation--& destroying yr reputation.

STEP ASIDE FOR THE GOOD OF #DEMOCRACY.
House Dem Oversight story mostly a farce now. Connolly hasn't said when he'll go so Ds defer on any Qs about replacing him. Non-AOC young Dems keep campaigning (Garcia, Crockett) but the math says Lynch wins.

In meantime, the face of Dem Oversight is an old, ailing man who can't do media hits.

Thanks for your excellent work.

Since about 1-20-17, the reprehensible #trump has parroted #BartSimpson more times than I can count.

Hi. Repeatd error: "I appreciate you being here."

In that sntnce, "being" is gerund (noun), so it must be preceded by an article or obj-case pronoun: I appreciate YOUR being here.

Note obj-case pr + noun in "I appreciate YOUR time / YOUR expertise."

Bst wshs.

@abcnetwork.bsky.social, you FAILED--by editorializing in YT hed.

Townhall wasn't "rowdy." Loud at times, spirited--but in clips I saw, ppl stayed in their seats.

Ppl have a right to vocally express displeasure with #GOP #congressman #lawler who's shattering the economy, shattering #democracy.

#lawler is a thug.

One of his lackeys on stage admonshed the crowd to quiet down, saying that lawler was "giving" them his time.

It's his FUCKING JOB to make time for constituents and to hear / address their concerns.

The #corruption of this #regime is unparalleled--and illegal. What are you going to do abt this?

Even if you minority #Dems can't do anything legislatively, you all need to call this out--often, and forcefully.

Dear #GOP

In the end, there will be people who stood up for the Constitution and people who stood down for it.

That’s.
It.

No explanation for the latter will ever suffice.

I may be the only lawyer targeted by Trump willing to speak on camera, but for me it wasn't a choice. All of us have an obligation to speak out against what Trump is doing. All of us have an obligation to fight for democracy. I am fortunate to be a lawyer and to have a platform -- and I will use it.

The Trump administration laid off nearly half of the Department of Education division that handles civil rights investigations and halted work on thousands of pending discrimination cases.

If you were affected, we want to hear from you. Get in touch:

This May 22 dinner is a high crime and misdemeanor. A president of the United States can’t use the office to enrich himself in this way, from potentially anonymous donors for whom he might do favors. This is as textbook as corruption gets.
Trump Just Did the Most Corrupt Thing Any President Has Ever Done
He’s using the White House to get rich from anonymous investors—and it’s hardly even a news story.

Even if I didn't live in 9th circle of hell (US), I'd still need to unwind at night. So I've been rewatching eps of M[of]TW, which I miss v. much.

You're *so* funny that I laugh even though I know what you're going to say. You've made life better for so many of us. Thank you.

I have to admit I’m looking very forward to celebrating Obama & the others who bring us joy such as Hillary, Kamala Harris, Joe Biden, Pete Buttigieg, & not talking about 🍊. I hope many people join us in honoring Obama & all the people around him.
