@manhattanda.bsky.social prosecutors had to convince 12 strangers BEYOND A REASONABLE DOUBT Trump lied to hide payments to a porn star to win the election. They convicted him. Don’t ever forget that.

I would be terrified to encounter MTG, Nancy Mace or any of these MAGA women in a woman’s bathroom - not Sarah McBride or any other trans woman.

This.

Morgan J Freeman @mjfree.bsky.social

The dysfunctional House of Reps can’t manage to pass a sensible bipartisan border deal, or a budget bill, or gun laws to protect kids, but they swiftly pass a House rule barring Rep Sarah McBride from using a bathroom - what an a disgrace.

Dr. Oz and RFK, Jr., in charge of our health? WTF is happening!!!!

Creating DOGE, essentially a paralell shadow government agency with no oversight or accountability and with co-heads who have billions in government contracts, at any other time would have been considered a fatal conflict of interest.

exactly right

“Taken together, these appointments suggest an attempt to make our government dysfunctional, to make it fall apart, to pervert it, until it’s not capable of doing anything at all.” They’re not just unqualified but “anti-qualified.” www.huffpost.com/entry/timoth... www.huffpost.com/entry/timoth...

Authoritarianism Expert Delivers Chilling Assessment On Trump Cabinet Picks

It's not “just that these people are not qualified enough" or even "totally unqualified," warned Timothy Snyder, who said their selection aims to do one thing.

President Musk - I mean Trump- does mass government layoffs to save money. what could go wrong? two plane/copter crashes in two days and all he can come up with is DEI? Get ready for more havoc while they try and crash this country.

Books should never be banned. period. exclamation mark.

New Jersey becomes latest state to prohibit bans on books in school, public libraries

New Jersey Democratic Gov. Phil Murphy has signed a law to prohibit book bans in the state and enshrine protections against civil and criminal charges for librarians who comply with the law.

buried house ethics report plus recess appointment is dangerous. the public has a right to know about the highest law enforcement officer in the country.

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com

Mike Johnson continues to leave the door open to bypassing Congress and recess appointing Gaetz, Hegseth, and company. He has the power to make this happen unilaterally. We explained how in Public Notice: www.publicnotice.co/p/mike-johns...

Meiselas: As Donald Trump was spending his day with Elon Musk and Republican senators watching the SpaceX takeoff so they could do propaganda events, that's when Biden activated Democratic Senator Chuck Schumer and Democratic Senator Dick Durbin—and they started appointing judge after judge...

if the House ethics report on Matt Gaetz exonerated him you know it would be released.

Norm Eisen @normeisen.bsky.social

Just finished Judge Merchan’s strong opinion denying Trump’s immunity If ya don’t mind me saying so, his conclusions were exactly as I analyzed in my @cnn.com oped ed back in August after Trump first raised these weak arguments www.cnn.com/2024/07/03/o...

Opinion: Trump’s immunity has a limit. Here’s where he’ll find that out | CNN

Before the ink was dry on the Supreme Court’s extreme presidential immunity opinion, former President Donald Trump launched a Hail Mary to derail state cases — but it won’t work, writes Norman Eisen.

He’s Collin from Succession.

CALL TO ACTIVISM @calltoactivism.bsky.social

BREAKING: In an unprecedented move, more than 75 Nobel Prize winners have signed a letter urging senators not to confirm Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as head of the Department of Health and Human Services. It's the first time in history that Nobel laureates have come together to oppose a Cabinet choice.

Canada's top military commander Jennie Carignan calls out the GOP for questioning women in combat: After 39 years as a combat arms officer and risking my life in many operations, I can’t believe that in 2024, we still have to justify women's contribution to defense and service in their country...

the @manhattanda.bsky.social 34 count conviction case may have posponed sentence but there is NO reason for dismissal. Temporary immunity bc you are POTUS just means wait 4 years then proceed to sentence. Stand strong! Do not dismiss the case. The jury has spoken.

It’s been more than 24 hours since Trump was sworn in and the war in the Ukraine is still going on. Just sayin..

how does one go from (almost) the highest law enforcement agent in the land to carnival barker in 24 hours? www.nytimes.com/2024/11/25/s...

Matt Gaetz Joins Cameo, Following the George Santos Playbook (Gift Article)

Matt Gaetz, who was Donald Trump’s former pick for attorney general, will wish you a happy birthday. For $500.

sorry for the character spam but just feeling the insanity today more than usual.

The Onion buying InfoWars, Musk buying MSNBC, Trump winning the election. The world doing a full 180 in two weeks. “Democracy is fragile” is an understatement.

Reply to @mspopok.bsky.social

love you Popok and my meidas touch family.

Gaetz resigned only to avoid the report. Trump wants to recess appoint him so there is no Senate hearing. If he fails he slides right back into congress since he won reelection for the next term. this is all happening in plain sight.

Judd Legum @juddlegum.bsky.social

"An unidentified hacker gained access to a file shared in a secure link among lawyers with clients who have given damaging testimony related to Matt Gaetz, President-elect Donald J. Trump’s choice to be attorney general, a person with knowledge of the activity said."

Here is the latest on the next administration.

Hey Democratic Senators dont worry abt background checks for Trump’s nominees, just hire former FBI-turned-private-eyes to dig stuff up and the repubs wont even know what you dug up!
