I really do think we need to refer to the christofascist party as PROFA.

I need better understanding about LG&E changes and data centers if you’re accepting topics for podcasts.

Exactly and we need to scream PROFA loud immediately before the 18th.

Sandy Knauer @sandyknauer.bsky.social · 1d

Seriously, I believe we need to call them profa, often, loud, everywhere, in the most mocking way possible. Serve them an extra large serving of the shit they brought to the pot luck.

Trump wields our justice system as a weapon against anyone who holds him accountable.

He published his list of perceived enemies, and fired the prosecutors who said they did nothing wrong. In the face of blatant corruption and authoritarianism, we won't back down or be silent.

New York Attorney General Letitia James @newyorkstateag.bsky.social · 2d

This is nothing more than a continuation of the president’s desperate weaponization of our justice system.

I am not fearful — I am fearless.

We will fight these baseless charges aggressively, and my office will continue to fiercely protect New Yorkers and their rights..

Kicking millions of Americans off their health insurance doesn't mean people won't get sick.

It makes health care more expensive for everyone.

Trump and Vought campaigned on firing federal workers.

Now, they're following through on that promise.

This has nothing to do with the shutdown and everything to do with Trump inflicting "maximum pain" on American workers and their families.

Several federal agencies begin receiving layoff notices

The Trump administration is issuing reduction-in-force notices to several federal agencies. It comes as Congress remains deadlocked over a funding plan to end a government shutdown. CBS News' Nikole Killion reports from Capitol Hill and Kris Van Cleave reports on air travel delays amid the shutdown.

Congrats to the Venezuelan opposition leader for winning the Nobel, and as for Trump … if you want to stop wars, work on the one you’re waging against fellow Americans. #ProudBlue

NO! People should never be celebrated or rewarded for spitting on fires they started.

NO! You don’t get celebrated for throwing water on the fires you started.

I would vote without question for anyone with the fucking stones to do this while refusing to 1) throw trans people under the bus and 2) fund Israel's genocide

Mark Joseph Stern @mjsdc.bsky.social · 3d

This is why I think the next Democratic president needs to use the EXACT tools that SCOTUS has handed Trump. Don't leave room for any distinctions.

Impound funds for deportation. Give ICE the USAID treatment. Refuse to collect government-backed debt. Purge MAGA loyalists from the executive branch.

Reminder: The guy demanding credit for a ceasefire in Gaza is the same guy instigating a civil war here at home.

Those PROFA terrorists obviously miss their childhoods of playing with GI Joe dolls and torturing small animals. What other explanation could there be?

No one is covering the GOP's scheme to rig congressional maps for 2026 as closely as Democracy Docket. It is providing gavel to gavel coverage of the ongoing hearing over whether the Texas gerrymander will be in place for the midterms.

I’m sure there are people who aspire to be just like her. They’ve been through “someone just like me” with Sarah Palin and KellyAnn Conway already so it makes sense.

think tanks are grossly overrated.

She knocked Samuel Alito from first place on my “most deplorable” list.
