Here's an idea: Any Democrat who wants to be taken seriously as a presidential candidate in 2028 must pledge to rip this cabal of anti-democracy tech fascists out of our government.

Anyone who won't make that pledge is for the billionaires, not the people. This must be a deal-breaking litmus test.
A Palantir billionaire just called for public hangings.

“It's time to bring back masculine leadership to protect our most vulnerable,” writes Joe Lonsdale.

This is where Silicon Valley authoritarianism is heading:

Quite breathtaking story - military grade drones at Dublin airport which flew on the path Zelensky's plane took. The drones reached the flight path of his plane exactly the time it should have been there, but just missed it because Zelensky arrived ahead of schedule:
Four unidentified military-style drones breached no-fly zone to target Zelenskyy's arrival in Dublin
Gardaí are investigating whether the drones took off from land in Dublin or from an undetected ship.

This was our #RunforAustinTice this morning. It was an opportunity to share Austin’s story with others and keep him in our thoughts. #BringhimHome @pressclubdc.bsky.social

Can we please stop using the two words “Epstein” and “discharge” in the same sentence? I know it’s a congressional thing, but 🤢.

ICE is stockpiling arms, including chemical weapons, guided missile warheads and explosive components. The spending dwarfs anything we've ever seen in the agency - a 700% increase.

The President is building an army to attack his own country.

Thank you @anandwrites.bsky.social for resetting the conversation this morning! What it was, not what it wasn’t.

@morningjoe-msnbc.bsky.social you and Ted Cruz are missing the point.

What happens when Trump decides to turn on Republicans in office NOW?

The true believers are the first people Hitler took out.

What Governor Pritzker is doing is right for his state, but it is vital for the Republic.

Congress has the power of the purse. Also, legislation originates in the House, so don’t forget—House Republicans wrote the bill that funded the ICE gestapo currently trampling on the U.S. Constitution in U.S. cities. Hold them accountable.

From 1939-1945 German officers also listened to speeches from civilians about how the laws of war didn’t apply to them. And then they participated in the Holocaust, starved millions of prisoners of war, destroyed villages and cities, and were defeated.
Hegseth: "We unleash overwhelming and punishing violence on the enemy. We also don't fight with stupid rules of engagement. We untie the hands of our warfighters to intimidate, demoralize, hunt, and kill the enemies of our country. No more politically correct and overbearing rules of engagement."

@markhertling.bsky.social I heard from a journalist who talked to a senior military leader yesterday after the Trump/Hegseth speech, that the leader said “it’s not our job to something about this.” If not, then who? If people take an oath to protect the Constitution, then how does that happen…

".. something we've always wanted to do."
Mike Johnson on the shutdown: "It can provide an opportunity to downside the scope and scale of government, which is something that we've always wanted to do. So in a way Chuck Schumer has now handed the keys to the kingdom the executive branch under President Trump."

Q: Why won’t Senate republicans bypass the 60 vote threshold and keep the government open?

They did it a couple of weeks ago to approve Trump nominees in bulk.

A: They WANT the shutdown.

To accelerate more privatization of government services. To enrich their donors.

It’s 💯 a Trump shutdown.

@msnbc.com Please don’t just report Trump’s gratuitous name calling of people such as Comey. I don’t understand why you do that. He is not “sick” and neither are the other many people Trump reflexively refers to in the same way. Maybe focus on his mental state, which is genuinely questionable.

Re the ongoing media consolidation, there are two things politicians should not be able to do:
1. Choose their voters
2. Choose what information those voters can and cannot see.

Dear Sen. Cruz,

I agree there is no place for political violence.

As to your request for civility, you first. We’ll see if you can get your president to be civil. Good luck with that.

As for ICE, the masks are completely inappropriate and a tacit acknowledgment of wrongdoing.

@theweeknightmsnbc.bsky.social Patel knew who Dylann Roof was. He disregarded purposely because to him, the victims didn’t matter, just like Trump had never heard of Melissa Hortman. They’re purposely denying these victims’ humanity and it’s gross.
