I think this may be the first occurrence ever of “Democrats refuse to fold” in a headline. Small but important milestone. Too bad they used a pic of #Schumer. Have a @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social pic instead! 💛💙🗽

We citizens of The United States of America have found “sufficient cause” to remove #Trump from his position, along with corrupt legislators or judges who are part of their crime syndicate.

www.theguardian.com/business/202...
Trump wrote to Cook on Monday, telling her that he was removing her from her position "effective immediately" based on the allegation from one of his allies that she had obtained a mortgage on a second home she incorrectly described as her primary residence. The claims have not been confirmed and last week Cook said she had "no intention of being bullied" into stepping down. She said: "I do intend to take any questions about my financial history seriously as a member of the Federal Reserve and so I am gathering the accurate information to answer any legitimate questions and provide the facts." Trump posted the full text of the letter on social media on Monday night. In it, he said that he found "sufficient cause" in the allegation against her to remove her from her position.

1/3 @markruffalo.bsky.social on Threads
@markruffalo on threads: The thing that’s most upsetting about Jeffries, Schumer, Gillibrand, Buttigieg, Hochul and Obama not endorsing Mamdani, who out performed even Hochul and Adams in NYC, is just how [unfairly] and [shabbily] they treat our progressive family. We always go to work for them. When Harris would not break with Biden on the Gaza Genocide we still backed her. Mamdani is asking for free bus rides, lower rents and affordable food and these [traitors] are withholding endorsements. It’s incredibly disrespectful and unfair.

Thread 2 views @kende 11/21/24 The Kayfabulist Pathocracy has a ring to it. Like a best selling novel, or the waking nightmare we're living in @ghostofgtc 11/20/24 should probably keep posting this because i feel that the term kakistocracy only helps further normalize the psychopathy Elizabeth Mika @yourauntemma Terms like idiocracy and kakistocracy fail to account for the malevolent intent of Trump & co. Focusing on their “incompetence” similarly misses the point. Pathocracy, the rule of people without conscience—psychopaths and their ilk, aka human predators—is the term to use.

#kayfabe #Trump
Dictionary fabulist | 'fabjulist | noun a person who composes or relates fables. • a liar, especially one who invents elaborately dishonest stories: a born fabulist, with an imagination unfettered by the laws of logic and probability. ORIGIN late 16th century: from French fabuliste, from Latin fabula (see fable).

I have coined a new term for #Trump, “kayfabulist,” for someone who believes their own #kayfabe.
Dictionary kayfabe | 'kerferb | noun [mass noun] US English informal (in professional wrestling) the fact or convention of presenting staged performances as genuine or authentic: a masterful job of blending kayfabe and reality | he's not someone who can break kayfabe and talk about the business | [as modifier] : I heard that AJ approached him to rehearse a kayfabe segment. ORIGIN 1980s: origin uncertain; often said to have arisen in American travelling carnivals. One explanation interprets the word as an alteration of 'be fake' written backwards, while the -ay- element is typical of the way in which words are formed in pig Latin.

Wake up @newyorker.com, Elissa Slotkin (& David Remnick) are #DNC poison pills and anyone who will not accept that might as well work for DOGE.
When Elissa Slotkin narrowly won her Senate seat in Michigan last fall, she was one of only four Democratic senators to claim victory in a state that voted for Donald Trump. It made other Democrats take note: since then, the Party has turned to her as someone who can bridge the red state–blue state divide. In March, Slotkin delivered the Democrats’ rebuttal to Trump’s speech before Congress, and she’s been making headlines for criticizing her own party’s attempts to rein in the President and the Republican Party. She thinks Democrats need to start projecting “alpha energy,” that identity politics “needs to go the way of the dodo,” and that Democrats should drop the word “oligarchy” from their vocabulary entirely. Slotkin prides herself on her bipartisanship, and she believes that Democrats must use old-school collegial collaboration in Congress. And, as different Democratic leaders have appeared on The New Yorker Radio Hour in the past few months, discussing what the next four years might have in store, Slotkin tells David Remnick about a different path forward.
