His track record speaks for itself. While we continue to resist, we should take comfort in that he is deeply incompetent, not very bright & his policies are hurting even his most devoted supporters. Let's not get in the way of his inevitable self-destruction.

The work of @joshcowenmsu.bsky.social is key to understanding the voucher issue:
“The widespread adoption of vouchers, Cowen explains, was a policy coup staged by billionaires who were libertarians or religious zealots or both.”

Yet vouchers don’t work.

Back in 1954, Army Counsel Joseph Welch challenged Joseph McCarthy's reckless charges said: Have you no decency, sir?

I also ask all of the Republicans elected to office today....Have you No Decency? But, I think we all have our answer - the answer is no, they do not have any decency.

@marcelias.bsky.social: "There is a reason why Trump nominated Kash Patel, Tulsi Gabbard, Pete Hegseth. He wants to humiliate these Republicans, because he knows that once they have voted for these folks, he will own them. They will not have a shred of dignity or standing left."

Everyone who is kissing Trump's a*s has something they will want in return. Rep. Ogles from TN who is proposing that Trump get a third term, also coincidentally is having his campaign finances investigated by the FBI, whose head Trump is replacing. Quid pro quo on steroids!

Musk made a virtual appearance at a campaign event for Germany's far-right AfD party, days after he made what was viewed a fascist salute at Trump's inauguration celebration, and said Germany should "move beyond" Nazi guilt. This man is crazy and dangerous!

Come on media and Democrats. Call it like it is.
Chris Murphy: "I read the headlines about the Liz Cheney criminal referral and almost every single one of them in mainstream media played this straight as if it was a normal function of legislative power, instead of telling the truth, which is that this is made up out of thin air."

The ABC News settlement makes zero sense from a legal standpoint. It assumes there is a moral or reputational difference between forcibly penetrating a woman’s vagina with fingers and doing so with a penis. It also assumes that Trump has a reputation that could suffer damage.

Hi. It's not normal for a nominee to be Director of the FBI to have his own personal hit list of people he wants to take revenge on using the power of the fed'l govt. Do not confirm.

The American people did not elect Trump and the GOP to focus on genitals and culture wars. They wanted cheaper rent, groceries and gas. Which Republicans will fail to deliver.

The words “fascist” and “authoritarian” are used often to describe Donald Trump and his minions, and rightfully so. But what do those terms really mean in practice? Today, Jay Kuo uses the work of Professor Ruth Ben-Ghiat to contextualize Trump's brand of fascism.
