The Republican Party is no longer the putative conservative party operating within a Constitutional democracy.

The Republican Party under Donald Trump is FULLY an authoritarian party with *dictatorial aspirations*. The evidence is abundant. News reporting needs to reflect the paradigm shift, FAST.

Watching coverage of Pam Bondi's responses at today's Senate hearing on @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com

Malicious and dumb.

It's astonishing. I'd be embarrassed for her if she weren't such an asshole.🤦

ICE's lies keep piling up.
ICE: 10 cars rammed ICE
Video shows: No cars rammed ICE
ICE: She boxed ICE in
Video: ICE boxed her in
ICE: She shot a rifle at ICE
Truth: She did not have a rifle
ICE: ICE returned fire
Truth: Only ICE fired
There should be some punishment for this firehose of lies.

New details on Border Patrol shooting, alleged vehicle ramming in Brighton Park revealed in court

Prosecutors said two Chicagoans had been following a vehicle being driven by Border Patrol agents for 20-30 minutes before the alleged ramming took place.

It was a beautiful Sunday in Portland. Farmer’s markets, the Portland Marathon, peaceful protests, and some views of Mt. Hood. This city is vibrant, peaceful, and resilient. We do not need a federal occupation, and we sure as hell don’t want one.

🙄He's so drunk on power and grandiose, I expect him to start declaring that he is God any day now.

It'd be hilarious and not entirely surprising if this crazy f&cker started demanding that Republicans address him as 'Almighty God.'

They're making it clear they don't give a damn about Americans (except for a few rich ones whose asses they kiss).

These were CHILDREN.

I quote Joseph N. Welch's confrontation of Joseph McCarthy, but I direct it at American citizens who refuse to vote Democratic:

"At long last, have you no sense of decency?"

emptywheel @emptywheel.bsky.social · 5d

They took these US citizens naked and put them in zip ties and threw them in a van.

“Four children who are U.S. citizens were taken into custody amid the operation at the apartment complex on Tuesday until they could be placed in the care of guardians or the state, the DHS spokesperson said.”

It'd be awesome if businesses would get together and agree to refuse service to ICE and DHS leadership.

"Dad likes to post videos of things that aren't real and pretend they are" is usually followed by an earnest discussion of whether it's time to put dad in a memory care ward.

Q: You just said this is an unenviable choice, this is an unfortunate consequences. But the president posted a video likening Vought to the grim reaper. So which is it?

LEAVITT: Look, the president likes to have a little fun every now and then and I think both things can be true

My GOD, what a beautiful woman!

You've experienced far too much loss at a young age.💔

Thank you for showing/telling us about "FloDean."♥️🕊️

😆Reporters need to schmooze the hell out of that guy. His ego and mouth will give you access to a gold mine!

Ah, sweet meritocracy, anti-wokeness and such.

What a relief that DEI didn't screw up the career trajectory of this obvious hack with no applicable experience.

Trump's brain drain has made Americans sitting ducks.

We have to make sure Republicans NEVER live this down.

Laura @beulahmo.bsky.social · 6d

He's drunk on power. He's gleefully revealing Republicans' antipathy for Americans.

As loud of a supporter of this as I've been for years, I'm actually pleasantly surprised to see such strong public support given the relatively small percent of the population enrolled in ACA exchange coverage.

The thing is, YOU may not be on an exchange plan but the odds are someone you know is.

They intend for us to obey or face punishment. Trump is making this clear.

I've read a couple of history books and I can tell you for sure that rounding up your generals, having a drunk yell at them and call them fat, and then stopping paying them that same day is absolutely how you institute durable personalist rule
