Not me, but some folks say why bother with impeaching Kristi Noem when the GOP Senate will just wave it off? But @NicholsUprising.bsky.social says there is a strong reason to do it anyway.

I'm all for impeaching and removing Kristi Noem, but I wanted to know how the impeachment language in the Constitution fits her case. @NicholsUprising.bksy.social, who wrote a book on impeachment, explains.

"Trump will lose his battle to rewrite history. As soon as he's gone, historians will go back to telling the truth. That will include painting Trump as the most dishonest, disgusting, hateful, ignorant, egomaniacal, gold-digging, president in history. "

My column on Trump's racist post: "The idea that some junior staffer, in the middle of the night, would send out such an explosive tweet in the president’s name without the president’s knowledge and approval is simply unbelievable."

We're gonna hear a lot about the voting-centered SAVE Act. It's really designed to save the GOP's ass in the midterms. It's up for consideration in Congress and must be stopped to SAVE Democracy. @ariberman.bsky.social on what's in the bill.

The good news: It’s more and more likely that the Democrats will win elections that give them control of the House and possibly the Senate. The bad news: as Trump becomes convinced of that outcome, his efforts to rig the election will only get worse.

@AriBerman.bksy.social says the seizing of the ballots in Fulton County Georgia is likely, in itself, to cause voters to stay away from the polls. The secret ballot is on the menu for
Donald Trump and his GOP enablers.

'If the Post is, in fact, losing $100 million a year, Bezos could absorb those losses for five years - for what he makes in a single week. It's not that Bezos can't afford the Post anymore, he just doesn't care. He'd rather suck up to Donald Trump.'

"Among the attacks on journalists, the arrest and prosecution of Lemon is especially troubling and should strike fear in the hearts of every American, liberal or conservative. He did his job. He did not commit a crime. He committed an act of journalism."

Remember Bill Clinton's "I feel your pain?" @AndrewBatesNC.bsky.social thinks the Democrats need to feel the pain of Americans betrayed by Donald Trump and the GOP. It's crucial for the midterms.

Instead of stopping inflation on Day One as Trump promised, he and the GOP Congress have made inflation worse(tariffs/healthcare). And are facilitating a huge transfer of wealth to the richest Americans. @AndrewBatesNC.bksy.social explains.

Clearly no one in the GOP wants to tell Donald Trump that his Tariffs are wreaking havoc on pretty much everyone. Or that in addition to raising prices, they are hurting job growth. Terry Holt from the Cost Coalition explains.

Looks like Affordability will be front & center in the midterms. Two advisors from the Cost Coalition, @andrewbatesnc.bsky.social and Terry Holt on the pod today. I started with the basics. What do people mean when they say, "Affordability?"

"Minneapolis didn't back down. Donald Trump backed down. And therein lies a powerful lesson for every politician, every citizen of the United States and every foreign leader: You don't have to cave in to Trump. You can stand up to this bully - and win."

What is it about the brave protesters and monitors in Minnesota that has changed what America (and apparently Trump) thinks about ICE's thuggish tactics?
