Yes, @SenSchumer and @RepJeffries are disasters in this political climate, but let's be real. The responsibility for the current destruction of US Democracy is: Trump: 25% GOP Pols: 20% SCOTUS: 20% GOP voters: 15% Media: 15% Dem pols: 4% Dem voters: 1% #DontBlameTheVictims

Every time he does or says something truly awful — like he did today — we get another bottle of champagne to have on hand for the street party that is going to break out two seconds after the news breaks. We've got enough on hand now to get half of Seattle drunk.

When this odious piece of shit dies, which won't be soon enough, I don't want to hear one word from anyone about treating the moment with respect. His death deserves to be celebrated as a joyous event.

The worst thing about Kirk dying is having to find out this woman exists

This is so f*cking embarassing. The Mayor of Providence had to tell Americans not to trust any news that isn’t released from official Providence sources because the president of the United States spread misinformation. This is the worst timeline.

Apparently it's possible to completely destroy a 100-year-old news organisation in just a few weeks. Impressive really.
What was going through Erika Kirk’s head when she forgave her husband’s alleged murderer? What does she make of the wild conspiracy theories surrounding his death? Can she help mend a divided America, plagued by political violence? Just days after the posthumous release of her

Ian Fleming's original James Bond novels haven't aged well. For example, Moonraker, published 70 years ago in April 1955, features a villain who's a super-rich industrialist & rocket-maker seeking to cause chaos because he's a secret Nazi. Such a silly idea! 😆

Our children are watching a president who calls people “retards” and “piggies.” It’s disgusting.

According to data, it is much more likely that an ICE agent has an arrest record than an immigrant. Read that again

It’s weird how we never hear about the proud boys or the oath keepers anymore. It’s almost like they all got jobs.

Dear #MAGA, Watch this and realize everything Trump has sold you on this issue is a LIE. https://t.co/mBUK3Nd3zz

The authoritarian takover of the state bureaucracy might not *sound* like a big deal. But SCOTUS giving Trump the ability to fire the federal government is a God-King power, and represents a failure of the American Revolution. My latest in @thenation

During oral arguments, the conservative justices made clear that they intend to allow Trump to fire FTC commissioner Rebecca Slaughter—and reorder the separation of powers.

Removing free access to the National Parks on MLK Jr. Day and Juneteenth is exactly as racist as you think it is.

Is this real @tmz? Because it’s a super good way to destroy your already dubious brand
Joe Biden no longer leads the United States of America ... and it seems he might be having some trouble remembering the full name of the country -- screwing up "America" during a speech.

Raise your hand if you serve in the Trump administration and are not going to spend the rest of your life in jail…not so fast @PeteHegseth
“But less than two hours later, the order came down for that footage to be deleted. All of it. Our anonymous source states that after much deliberation and conferring with JAG, the order was confirmed: delete all video and photographic documentation of the detainees.”

When my dad was in the FBI and had his bureau car, he wouldn’t even drop my sister and I off at school or stop for groceries because the rules were so strict about personal use. Hard to believe how much has changed now that a podcaster is running the FBI.
FBI Director Kash Patel ordered agents to drive his girlfriend Alex Wilkins’ intoxicated friend home on at least two occasions. In one instance, Patel called the head of Wilkins’ security detail and yelled at him to carry out the request on behalf of his girlfriend. Follow:
