I think the administration will try to agitate, but it’s important that we make these protests 1. HUGE and 2. Peaceful

I don’t just get a “sense” that there are meetings amongst the GOP. They all hype each other up behind the scenes (and leak to reporters about how they’re going to stand up to Trump), and then they fold like lawn chairs

I think if Vance takes over, he’s going to have a MUCH tougher time than Trump

As a staffer Mr Angry, do you ever get a sense there could be secret meetings amongst Republicans about Trump being completely out of control and wanting to do something about it?!

Do you think they will do something to people protesting #NoKings on 10/18?

Banana republic shit.

If the reported facts are accurately, this is going to be a colossal embarrassment for DOJ.

“The Founders would never believe that it would ever come to pass that one state militia could be sent to another state for the purposes of political retribution”

THAT PART!

Thank you, Judge Perry.

Fuck this.

This is nothing but red meat for Trump’s base. A federal law that *Trump* signed into law guarantees backpay to furloughed workers. There’s no disputing this.

More Perfect Union @moreperfectunion.bsky.social · 4d

A new White House memo says that furloughed federal workers aren't entitled to back pay.

This is clearly against the law, which guarantees furloughed federal employees back pay for the duration of a government shutdown.

Because a large chunk of them cares more about access than actually doing their jobs.

If they lose the access, they lose their book deals, etc.

There are very few out there who actually want to hold politicians feet to the fire anymore - Trump’s most pointed questions come from foreign journos.

So tired of the insane crazy shit everyday now. What do you think Republicans are up to in the short term? Civil War? Martial Law? Do you think there will be midterms in 2026?

Discovery is going to be fantastic, though.

We all saw this abuse of power coming. Multiple prosecutors (even Trump appointed ones) tried to stop the administration from making this mistake because there’s no case.

Thoughts on this Comey statement?

I’m pretty… ambivalent on Comey in general, but I think this is the right tone. Stay engaged. Don’t get complacent. Vote these idiots out of office.

🚨 BREAKING: James Comey posts a video statement following his indictment

"My family and I have known for years that there are costs to standing up to Donald Trump...But I'm not afraid. And I hope you're not either...And I'm innocent. So let's have a trial and keep the faith."

For everyone saying this is an impeachable offense and worse than Watergate:

Of course it is. But that doesn’t matter in the slightest, because this GOP Congress has completely abdicated their duty and will never do anything to hold him accountable.

The red arrow is where Trump’s new fed puppet wants rates by the end of 2025.

Look how far off his goals are from literally everyone. Cutting rates that much would hypercharge inflation.

3 50 basis point cuts in a row is what you do in an economic emergency.

You’re about to see a push on the right to designate a bunch of nonviolent people on the left as ANTIFA because they don’t like their rhetoric.

Getting justice for Epstein’s victims is our top priority.

Epstein files are on my desk.

Epstein files will destroy the Democrats.

We’re gonna hold all his accomplices accountable.

There is no list.

He didn’t actually traffic women to anyone.

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 24d

KENNEDY: Who if anyone did Epstein traffic these young women to other than himself?

KASH PATEL: Himself. There is no credible information -- none -- that he trafficked to other individuals. And the information we have is limited.

Today, the UN officially designated Israel’s assault on Gaza as a genocide.

As a party to the Genocide Convention, the U.S. has a legal obligation to obey our own laws, stop weapons sales to Israel, and demand a permanent ceasefire.

End the genocide. Ceasefire now.

257. The Commission recommends that all Member States:
(a) Employ all means reasonably available to them to prevent the commission of genocide in the Gaza Strip;
(b) Cease the transfer of arms and other equipment or items, including jet fuel, to the State of Israel or third States where there is reason to suspect their use in military operations that have involved or could involve the commission of genocide;
(c) Ensure individuals and corporations in their territories and within their jurisdiction are not involved in the commission of genocide, aiding and assisting the commission of genocide or incitement to commit genocide and investigate and prosecute those who may be implicated in these crimes under international law;
(d) Facilitate the investigations and domestic proceedings and take action (including imposing sanctions) against the State of Israel and against individuals or corporations that are involved in or facilitating the commission of genocide or incitement to commit genocide;
(e) Cooperate with the investigation of the Office of the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court.
258. The Commission recommends that the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court:
(a) Examine, within its continuing investigation in the Situation in the State of Palestine, the crime of genocide for amendment to existing arrest warrants and addition to future application for arrest warrants;
(b) Examine the involvement of officials mentioned in this report for inclusion as those most responsible for international crimes committed in the occupied Palestinian territory.
