I just arrived here, grateful for a space where nuance still matters, where dialogue isn't drowned out by noise. We fight smart. We rise together. We are together and purpose will always find a way. #Chose clarity over chaos.

RFK JR: There are many other confirmations -- there are two studies that show children who are circumcised early have double the rate of autism. It’s highly likely because they are given Tylenol

Yes, I know nothing matters for the One Special Boy, but these new blanket tariffs - like all the other tariffs - are wildly illegal & violate multiple domestic laws <and> multiple international treaties. We should enforce our laws & comply with our treaty obligations.

Labeling it a “settlement” doesn’t immunize it. If money benefits a candidate/official and a favor’s expected, that’s classic quid pro quo under bribery/election law. Follow intent, not spin.

Scott Horton @robertscotthorton.bsky.social · 10d

Yes, this is the payment of a bribe with a thin legal veil. Yes, the executives authorizing the payment may be prosecuted for public corruption crimes. Which is why Trump has dismantled the whole part of the DOJ that deals with public corruption.

It's a "settlement." WINK WINK.

The last time a president and his cronies - including a young J. Edgar Hoover - tried to mass deport Americans they didn't like, the nation stopped them, as I discuss here.

Let's review the numbers. The economy they inherited from Biden had created 16 million jobs. Trump has yet to prove he can create jobs, no matter how Chavez-DeRemer tries to spin the narrative.

Imagine being a military leader who’s dedicated their life to national defense, only to have a guy who can’t spell “aesthetic” lecture you about ship design. Embarrassing.

Acyn @acyn.bsky.social · 12d

Trump: I am a very aesthetic person. I don't like some of the ships you are doing aesthetically. They say it is stealth. That's not stealth. An ugly ship is not necessary in order to say you are stealth.

Trump told us he wanted to be a dictator. The terrifying part is millions of people heard that and said, “Sounds good to me.” That’s the real danger.

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 12d

Maxwell Frost: "To be honest, this is something Trump said he would do. We all knew it during the campaign. He said he would be a 'dictator on day one.' The only thing he lied about is he meant 'I want to be a dictator for the entire term.'"

1. More Americans work at the Cheesecake Factory than in the entire coal industry, and that won't change. It's because of automation, not snooty libs.

2. Coal energy is now more expensive than wind and solar.

3. So this means: higher energy prices, more pollution, no jobs benefit. Genius!

Energy Secretary Chris Wright on Fox: "We're announcing today expanded programs to help the American coal industry. We're helping it because for years it has been under assault. It was out of fashion with the chardonnay set in San Francisco, Boulder, and NYC ... coal just makes the world go round."
