Zohran Mamdani stands by calling Trump a fascist:

NBC: "[D]o you think that President Trump is a fascist?"
Mamdani: "[T]hat's something that I've said in the past. I say it today."

If you’re a journalist who’s still on Twitter, from now on in your writing you have to replace “the American people want” with “troll bots in Eastern Europe demand”

Being there makes your judgment suspect. I don’t care how savvy you think you are, you’re marinating in a disinformation campaign.

All this shows is that the US has no idea what it’s doing and it’s being played by Moscow. Complete humiliation.

How embarrassing.

Administration sources were all-in on this Russian wishlist until it was revealed that it was an *actual* Russian wishlist and not just the worst possible peace plan for Ukraine.

I *think* the attempt to speedrun authoritarianism has failed. The new acute danger is greater political violence (Trump calling for hangings, etc). But the concerted danger is down the line, when MAGA realizes the bill for all this corruption will come due. www.offmessage.net/p/maga-disar...

#CNBC is running little pieces from small business owners who are getting slammed by the #Tariffs.

I think this is the most damning anti-Tariff programming I've seen. Yet no one is talking about it. It is brilliant and should be made share-able

Adding to @gregsargent.bsky.social's spot-on post:

SefDef Pete Hegseth laid the groundwork for this back in February by firing the top JAGs for the Army and USAF (the Navy JAG post was already vacant). He wanted pliant JAGs who wouldn't get in the way of illegal orders. apnews.com/article/pent...

From the boat bombings to deportations to prosecutions, the evidence mounts. And the speaker of the House could get to the bottom of it if he wanted to. Yeah, right.

Reminder:

SDNY "was running an active investigation into Jeffrey Epstein[’s] ... coconspirators. In January [2025], SDNY prosecutors were ordered to transfer the Epstein case files to DOJ headquarters in Washington, D.C. ... the investigation into co-conspirators has inexplicably ceased."

while I’m being cranky, access journalism needs to go. When the president does his “I’m alpha because I insulted you” thing somebody needs to fall on his sword and say “what the fuck is wrong with you, old man?” on a hot mic. the hero of the wizard of Oz is Toto.

Since January 2023, the New York Times has cited Rep. Ralph Norman, R-SC, in 78 stories. None mentioned that Norman secretly urged the Trump White House in 2021 to declare martial law – in effect, a military-backed coup. Norman wasn’t charged, but the NYT gave him a “pardon” anyway.

Hakeem Jeffries says Mike Johnson is a "nice guy" but has "zero control" over House Republicans.

He brings up that Trump once said he has two titles, president and speaker of the House.

Remember, the FBI reportedly created a spreadsheet of the all the references to Trump in the Epstein files. It's imperative for Democrats to demand that the Trump List be released along with the files. Otherwise you can rest assured that they will redact every reference to him.
