He is trying to be a dictator and it’s time for Democrats and the press to stop pussy-footing around it

No it answers them

'I dunno, Trump seemed like a go-getter' says random midwesterner who helped usher in a decade of authoritarian terror in the world's most powerful country.

If John Roberts cared about the Supreme Court’s future, he’d tell Alito and Thomas to come clean on their finances and recuse from J6 cases. He’d threaten to go public if they don’t.
But he hasn’t done that because he cares more about right-wing power than the court’s integrity.

It’s astonishing! A Supreme Court Justice flew a flag of insurrection! He doesn’t deny it! He must resign! How am I out on an island by myself here??

I understand you likely would not have stood up for your colleague and seem to be confused about racism and misogyny being a “both sides” issue.

But I stand up to bullies, instead of becoming one.

And to the women of Pennsylvania: I’d stand up for you too.

Enjoy your Friday.

Funny story, Frank. We have both of those things right now and the media can't stop telling us how bad the economy 'feels' and how old the President is.

I saw someone say negative words about my favorite politician, so I publicly advocated the overthrow of US Constitutional democracy and was right to do so.
Pretty good distillation of the elite MAGA mindset, actually.

A short 🧵that captures so much about US politics.

Over a week ago, the FTC found that a scumbag oil guy (& huge Trump donor) colluded with OPEC to keep oil prices high.

Biden’s age isn’t among voters’ top issues in polls, but the NY Times made it a recurring top story anyway
Voters sure didn’t say they care about the president of Harvard, but the Times made that the number one story for days.
When NYT editors care, they don’t defer to polls.

Philipp Heimberger Speech Mario Draghi La Hulpe 16 April 2024

Italy's real wage misery: inflation-adjusted wages in 2020 were lower than in 1990, very different from other advanced economies.

Stunning graph: the plummeting tax rates of the richest Americans. For the first time in history, billionaires have a lower effective tax rate than working-class Americans.

In 1962, we organized sit-ins to end racist policies at the University of Chicago. In '63, I was arrested protesting segregated schools. But we were right.

I’m proud to see students protesting the war in Gaza.

Stay peaceful and focused. You’re on the right side of history.

Trump, in a Time Magazine interview, refers to the IDF as the 'Israel Defense Fund,' raising concerns about Biden's acuity and grasp of world events.

After Hur's lies about Biden's cognition appeared, the NY Times published *30* stories in four days, including opinion pieces questioning whether Biden had dementia or should run for reelection. Trump falls asleep every day in court and it's crickets. 🙃

Today's politico-media environment: no one who does shitty things ever faces any accountability; no one who acts decently or tells the truth or passes pro-social policy is acknowledged or rewarded for it. The incentive structure is almost perfectly upside-down.

So, I guess, we're just all very lucky to have people working their asses of to address climate change even though, apparently, it will go unnoticed and not sway anyone to vote for them because we're too busy being snarky on a website.

SCOTUS: The president does not have the power to forgive student loans under this particular law.

TRUMP: OK, but he could order someone killed, though, right?

SCOTUS may do more net damage to our democracy in expanding presidential powers and delaying Trump's trials until after the election than Trump actually achieved in his attempted coup. Think about it. It's nauseating.
