Should the New York Times be sold to Pennysaver and its editors sent to work in Amazon warehouses? It depends on who you ask.

The shameless GOP lying about the No Kings gatherings scheduled for next Saturday reveals how deeply hostile much of the Republican Party is to “the right of the people peaceably to assemble.” I look forward to our local No Kings event, and urge my fellow Americans to attend in their communities.

Sometimes it’s not great to look at looming massive earthquakes, and realize that we have a nefarious moron with dementia as our leader.

Osborne Cox @osbornecox.bsky.social · 1d

A friend tells me 2 major fault lines on the West Coast are in ‘sync’ and scientists warn it signals a possible massive quake on horizon.

Great. I’m sure Trump will have our back. 🙄 He would yell at California for not raking its faults.

Of all the things a Nobel Prize winner never said, she never said this the most.

Trump: "The person who actually got the Nobel Prize called today, called me, and said 'I'm accepting this in honor of you, because you really deserved it.' A really nice thing to do. I didn't say 'Then give it to me, though.'"

The campaign against “antifa” is about establishing a beachhead for further attacks on speech and assembly rights. We see that today in the effort to preemptively label No Kings protesters as “terrorists.”

The indictments of President Donald Trump’s political foes after he publicly called on Attorney General Pam Bondi to prosecute his perceived enemies raise a chilling question: If the Justice Department is little more than a president’s lapdog, is anyone in America ultimately safe from his clutches?

Trump’s Behavior Could End Up Helping Those He Is Targeting

MAGAts are actually Qatar First*

Who wants to tell them?

*Subject to highest bribes to Trump Crime Family.

Ron Filipkowski @ronfilipkowski.bsky.social · 1d

The Trump administration is REALLY allowing Qatar to build an air base in the US after they did a $5.5 billion golf resort deal with Trump and gave him a jet.

MAGA can take their ‘America First’ flags and wipe their asses with them. He is Trump First, and you are suckers.

Mike Johnson: "It's about keeping Congress operating so we can get to healthcare. We always were going to. They're lying to you. Okay? The healthcare issues were always gonna be something discussed, deliberated, contemplated, and debated in October and November."

Marjorie Taylor Greene just said the Republican Party is “getting destroyed” during this government shutdown as they refuse to protect health care.

“Everyone’s just getting destroyed... Republicans, you have no solutions... It is hurting so many people.”

Trump is a psychopath so he may figure that if he pardons Ghislaine Maxwell the same night he orders bombs dropped on an American city, very few people will be talking about the pardon.
