Dumb & Dumber had something to say.

Trump and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. both claimed during a cabinet meeting that they are “experts” on autism. Trump said he has been studying it for a long time, while Kennedy suggested that early circumcision increases the risk of autism because infants are given Tylenol. Unbelievable.

Best thing about this is how *MAD* Trump and his gross sycophants are that they failed to bully the Nobel committee. The whole world is laughing at them.

The Real Threat to Free Speech in America is From the Right, Not the Left—Stop Pretending Otherwise

The road to fascism is paved with false equivalencies. For years we’ve been told that the censorious Left is a serious threat to free speech. If Simon & Schuster cancels one book because the pu…

I give shit to Jeffries (and Schumer) when they suck, so it’s also important to recognize when they’re doing it right.

This is doing it right. More of this, indeed. *Everyone* involved in the corruption of this administration MUST face consequences for their actions.

This is good, from Hakeem Jeffries. More of this please, in every conceivable forum:

"Sycophants who aid and abet the President’s vengeful schemes will not be able to hide from the serious legal consequences of their behavior. They will be held accountable."

"None — repeat none — of America’s fentanyl has been found to originate from Venezuela. Yet Trump and Pete Hegseth, his compulsively strutting “secretary of war”, insist that the country is fuelling America’s opioid epidemic." Me on Trump's wag the dog script. www.ft.com/content/5b3e...

Venezuela is Trump’s useful enemy

Despite the president’s claims, the South American country is nowhere close to being the US’s biggest drug supplier

There will be voices in time (see link for an example) that try to shout down calls for accountability — that insist Dems should turn the page, look forward rather than back, and paste a vacant smile of false normality or make-believe unity across our faces.

We must ignore them.

Framing it as Trump simply going after his political enemies is misleading because to a fascist every other living person is their political enemy.

You’re his political enemy. You just haven’t been identified yet.

You cannot reason with a fascist. You can’t endear yourself to a fascist. They will turn on everyone, including their own family, their allies, their sycophants and collaborators.

Fascists hate themselves and they hate the world. This doesn’t stop unless it is stopped.

I *really* want more reporting on this because the book was pretty heavily vetted by lawyers in advance of publication….

This is so damn scary. The book claimed that Jeffrey Epstein was the one who introduced Donald and Melania. Now the CEO of Harper UK is out.

I have one other thought on the subject of abuse by powerful people: it's all connected.

The type of people who abuse the people who work for them are the type of people who let fascism flourish.
