Grandmother, avid reader and Wordler (I’ve solved in one turn twice). Registered Independent, Twitter refugee, looking for wit and wisdom on Bluesky. I’d have to like Trump much more to loathe him.

This must be repeated far and wide. Trump has assaulted women and children all his life. Many of his victims have not come forward for a variety of reasons, including that they wouldn’t be believed.

Paul van der Meer @paulvandermeer.bsky.social · 7h

Here's the fallacy. People say that Tr*mp assaulted 26 women and children. That’s not true. He was caught 26 times doing that. The real figure is about seven times higher (180).

Miller seems empowered to appear and speak in public lots more these days but he may have overplayed his hand. So far Trump hasn’t figured out he’s only a chaotic distraction and Miller and the Christian nationalists are actually running the government. Trump will be ousted via A25 soon.

As Trump Moves Toward Autocracy, Top Aide Stephen Miller Is Way Ahead Of Him

Trump’s chief propagandist accuses opponents of “insurrection” and attempting a “coup” — while declaring Trump has “plenary authority.”

"It’s not enough to round up and detain those here illegally, video of it must be shot, edited, dramatized, and disseminated. ICE isn’t just doing immigration enforcement, it is now firmly in the content creation business."

The ICE Propaganda Campaign Goes Into Overdrive

MAGA commentators are stepping up as soldiers in Trump’s culture war to provoke confrontations against “Antifa” with the backing of DHS.

Many people are saying Trump plans to name the new ballroom after Diddy but Epstein is in the running too. Naw—just kidding! Obviously, he will name it after himself. That’s the whole point of building it.

I would assume that the Qatari Air Force facility in the US is entirely training focused.

That said, it's worth noting that Qatar has literally bribed the President and his family in multiple ways, to the tune of many millions of dollars.

That’s only germane, Mitch, if you think Trump is subject to rules and laws like the rest of us losers.

The GOP and Trump administration are following the leader. Trump has lived his life like rules and laws don’t apply to him with no consequences and they are following suit. Vulgarity is in and civility is out—just watch any press conference or Trump spokesperson testify in front of Congress to see.

Robert Reich @rbreich.bsky.social · 1d

The mainstream media loves making it seam like dysfunction in Washington is coming from both parties.

Hello?

Much of the GOP no longer accepts the rule of law, or the norms of democracy, or the legitimacy of the opposing party.

Enough of the false equivalence.

Miller thinks we’re all too dumb to realize what he and his Christian nationalist thugs are doing. Trump hasn’t figured out yet that they are running the country while keeping him busy on happy ego fluffing projects like ballrooms, sporting events, and the UFC extravaganza on the White House lawn.

It’s the Feds making Portland look like a war zone— not the protesters.

And honestly, these protesters are brilliant. They’re flipping the whole authoritarian cosplay on its ass!

Attention Congress: This is a crisis. Impeach Trump for treason and get rid of his entire corrupt administration—plus overturn his SCOTUS appointments. That might be the only way to save our democracy.

Putin never gets tired of playing Trump, seeing him react with childish gratitude when Putin flatters him to keep him in line.

They are all emboldened and taking more chances as project 2025 gets closer and closer to becoming the law of the land. Even Miller can’t resist preening in public, showing off his new power.

Andrew Weinstein @andrewjweinstein.com · 1d

It's wild that we've reached a point where the President openly admits to firing people for political reasons, and his OMB director tweets about it like it's a victory. This is page one of the authoritarian playbook, happening in plain sight.

This was all well planned in advance. Bondi had detailed notes prepared that she referenced to personally attack each Member who questioned her. Her mission was to obfuscate while projecting distain and disrespect for them and protect Trump.

I’m trying to imagine what will stop Trump and the architects of project 2025 from destroying our democracy and replacing it with their Christian nationalist aristocracy.Trump isn’t remotely religious, merely greedy for money and power, but they won’t need him much longer.

More evidence we no longer have a democratic nation. There are messages on federal agency websites blaming Democrats for the shut down and praising Republicans. Call the White House and you hear Karoline Leavitt criticizing Democrats and extolling the virtue of Republicans. This is not democracy.

Travelers stuck in airport lines shouldn’t be forced to hear DHS propaganda blaming Democrats for shutdown chaos. It’s unfair, distracting, and illegal under the Hatch Act.
