We are headed toward a US constitutional crisis vastly bigger than Watergate

When Democrats stop caring about what the media thinks then we will win big again. Biden began that process last night. Let people judge, complain and bitch. Biden had the power and used it. F norms just do what is right. Joe nor Hunter should have to suffer because of political

🚨NEW: Senators Jean Shaheen and Jack Reed have sent a letter to the Pentagon demanding they investigate Elon Musk’s business contracts with Russia due to his new role in the federal government. RETWEET to thank these Senators for standing up for our democracy!

The entire discretionary budget is $1.7T of a $6T+ federal budget. To achieve this and keep any remnants of a government number they will need to cut social security and medicare. We told you this.

Trump told this same story about a woman not being able to afford apples repeatedly on the campaign trail. It's very clearly made up. And yet Fox is just running with it. Feelings don't care about your facts.

"If Gaetz becomes AG, he will take control of a department that recently was investigating whether to bring criminal charges against him for sex trafficking. It’s distressingly similar to Trump being able to take charge of a govt he sought to destroy."

Debbie Wasserman Schultz: "Most parents wouldn't trust Matt Gaetz with their teenager, nevermind with our entire system of justice."

"Sessions was a repulsive and retrograde choice for AG. But he wasn’t an obscenely unqualified one like Gaetz, who's out to destroy the DOJ from within, wreck its ability to enforce the laws, and turn it into a weapon for Trump to pursue his grievances."

The Bible-thumping Speaker of the House is working overtime to cover up credible allegations that Trump’s unqualified AG nominee committed sexual misconduct. We’re already plumbing new depths of depravity.

New in PN: Trump moves to burn down the rule of law "Gaetz is basically Trump writ small, a petty tyrant who came to prominence thanks to Daddy’s money, a misogynist who sees women as objects for the taking, & an unqualified troll who bullied his way up"

@HomoConNYC I will not issue an apology because I understand science. We were in the middle of the worst pandemic in a century, and whether or not they prevented infection, the vaccines objectively saved millions of lives. The military gets 1000 vaccines - stop politicizing this one.

@Gorilianaire Is @MikeRay_22 an inbred jackass? Oh, I thought we were asking stuff we already knew the answer to!

@WTravisMcMaster I think so. Trump is going to try to force the recess appointment issue, but Johnson will have to play ball and completely neuter himself in order for that to happen. I know that’s not too big of a stretch, but I think they’ll at least try hearings first.

@db491865 Starting next week, yes. I’ll still be posting here as well, but I will be moving the AMAs over there for a test run.

@Arcadecabz @mtilmann A large chunk of the mainstream media is still sanewashing Trump, so what’s the solution?

@mtilmann Dems need to meet people where they’re at - and where they actually want to get their news. They need to start leaning on their influencer network NOW. The right-wing podcast apparatus is almost certainly what helped get Trump elected. Dems need a (non-Russian funded)

@Thaad1 Best: it goes as badly as we expect it will. Blue wave in 2026 and then again in 2028. Worst: it goes as badly as we expect it will. War with Iran. War with China. Much smaller blue wave in 2026 because of nuclear winter.

@ironhorsetucson I don’t think we’re too screwed. It’s going to be a complete shitshow, but I also think once the market starts reacting negatively to these new policies, Republican outrage will force a change. They aren’t going to let Trump crash their precious stock market.

@jamespagr If he does half of what he’s talking about doing, they’ll figure it out pretty quickly. His base will be disproportionately impacted by his policies. They’ll probably find a way to blame Democrats for it, even though they have complete control right now, but 🤷🏼‍♂️

New: Woman told House Ethics Committee she saw Gaetz have sex with a minor, lawyer says The attorney who represents two of the women who were witnesses in the House Ethics Committee probe into former Rep. Matt Gaetz confirmed on Friday that one of his clients saw the congressman
