Trump: "I don't know what could be worse than Portland. You don't even have stores anymore. They don't even put glass up. They put plywood on their windows."

Q: Have you asked the DOJ to look at possible charges against Pritzker and Johnson?

TRUMP: I've seen the law ... I've understood that and I read it today in numerous journals that that's illegal ... that's a criminal offense

This is not why Santos was prosecuted. Straight out lie or dementia?

Trump on George Santos: "We have a young congressman that's right now in jail for lying about where he went to college and other things. It was frankly not good. It was pretty bad. But it was nothing compared to Blumenthal."

Let’s be clear: Cowardice isn’t funny. Silence in the face of Trump’s authoritarianism isn’t neutrality — it’s complicity.

It's becoming difficult to hide that a major purpose of the Trump administration is siphoning tax revenues from Blue states and redirecting them into subsidies for Red states. At what point does this become intolerable?

😂 I thought of cream cheese on crackers which sounded good to me. I hope you are feeling rested by now. We're already in a "soft authoritarian" state, according to analysts I'm hearing. A lot of very intelligent people are very worried. 😪

Cream crackered isn’t a term I’ve heard but it sounds like a good thing. Trump is a dangerous laughing stock; that’s the problem. The dogs are good.

Barack Obama @barackobama.bsky.social · 13d

Republicans can’t win on their policies, so they are trying to dodge accountability by rewriting the rules. These lawmakers are going out of their way to silence the will of the people and deliberately undermine our democracy.

All On The Line @allontheline.bsky.social · 13d

The White House is continuing to pressure more states to gerrymander their congressional maps because they are afraid of voters holding them accountable for their unpopular policies.

This is a decisive moment for our democracy. Take action to fight back against this power grab. ⬇️
