Hey @nytimes.com

Really bad framing here.

The story is not “Todd Blanche is a moderating influence on Trumps retribution campaign

IT IS THAT THE PRESIDENT HAS A RETRIBUTION CAMPAIGN

a massive abuse of his power

By itself a reason to impeach.

‘I Am Frustrated’: Emails Show Blanche’s Role in Trump’s Retribution Campaign (Gift Article)

The cooperation of Todd Blanche will be a flashpoint in his confirmation hearing to be attorney general on Wednesday.

No.

What’s crazy is that dozens of similar and even worse scandals haven’t taken down our clearly corrupt current president.

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com

JD Vance: "I think Nixon's historical legacy is enjoying a bit of a renaissance, and deservedly so. I joked that if Watergate happened tomorrow, it would be like a 12 hours news story. The idea that it took down a presidency is crazy."

“But yeah, he totally raped that grown up lady.”

Vance: "I've never seen a single bit of credible evidence that the President of the United States engaged in wrongdoing with minors, ever."

Trump is already commanding our troops to commit war crimes.

How much worse does he want this to be?

Elon Musk is very likely to have lied on his naturalization forms and is accused of multiple instances of fraud.

Is Mr. Stone also arguing for his deportation?

Mark Joseph Stern @mjsdc.bsky.social

Again. This is the author. What are we doing here?

That Trump filed this suit at all is an impeachable offense and Republicans in congress know it.

But they are happy to remain in their kleptocratic cult as long as it benefits them.

BREAKING: Federal judge finds that Trump's IRS suit was improper because Trump controlled both sides of the litigation. Judge Kathleen Williams also sanctions Trump's lawyers, issues monetary sanctions, and harshly criticizes DOJ's "untenable" conduct. More to come at Law Dork: www.lawdork.com

AI is vastly overhyped.

Anyone remember how the blockchain was gonna change everything?

Yet another way that Donald Trump has made it clear that he is pro-rape

Cities that block ICE could lose police, rape kit funding, DOJ says

Three men who were in the vehicle alongside Lorenzo Salgado Araujo are contesting the Department of Homeland Security’s account of the fatal shooting.

ICE claims that Araujo drove into one of their SUVs with his van and then tried to run over an agent. There were no marks on the van and KHOU11's Jeremy Rogalski found surveillance footage showing ICE chasing Araujo and cutting him off. Renee Good all over again.

Donald Trump is an adjudicated rapist.

Feed that into your bullshit machine and then shove it up your ass.

I love that they think that immigrants are the danger to liberal democracy when it’s the American born Trumpists who are actually propelling us into kleptocratic authoritarianism.

Anthony Michael Kreis @anthonymkreis.bsky.social

I have grown tired of Prof. Wurman’s defense of his own bigotry by claiming I “lack reading comprehension.” I will waste no more time on him and his evidence-free dreck after this. Yes, his blanket moral claim is racist. Yes, his “evidence” is ahistorical. His arguments are sloppy and confused.

Donald Trump is a convicted criminal.

His administration is criminal organization.

Ron Filipkowski @ronfilipkowski.bsky.social

Trump says the US military will serve as mercenaries by taking over the Strait of Hormuz and charging everyone a fee to transit equal to 20% of their cargo.

The United States of America has become an authoritarian state.

Hirono: "Do you believe it is the president's right and duty to order the investigation or prosecution of his perceived enemies, yes or no?" Blanche: "I can't answer that yes or no."

Yes.

Because when corrupt guys do corrupt stuff, even if it’s not life or death, it’s still corrupt.

FIFA's unprecedented decision sparked huge furore in football world.

Why FIFA's Balogun red card suspension after Trump call is so controversial

FIFA's unprecedented decision sparked huge furore in football world.

For young people who’ve lived with Trumpism for a decade this makes total sense.

Trump is a convicted criminal and adjudicated rapist who’s failed coup attempt was never prosecuted,

And who then pardoned all (even the most violent) of the participants.

Donald Trump admires Putin because he is hoping to turn America into a Russia-style klepto-state.

He is well on his way.

It’ll be interesting to see if an HBO owned by the Ellisons allows this to be as negative as the man’s actual history would require it to be.
