  “We need to abolish ICE […] we need tax reform […] Ukraine deserves more aid.” Two of my favorite people, excellent historian Timothy Snyder and strong Ukraine-supporting Senator Richard Blumenthal have an important conversation on how to end Trump’s corrupt regime. https://youtu.be/CYeLBsuKzZs?si=lMl3uFTOPcYnm4vH

  Trump is cornered, and it is not pretty: Kaitlan Collins: “Will you stand by Pete Hegseth if he is impeached?” Trump: “Yeah, I’ll stand by him.” Kaitlan Collins: “[Republican Thomas] Massie says, he [Pete Hegseth] has carried out illegal acts.” Trump: “Massie is a loser, just like you’re a loser at CNN, just like your ratings are a loser.” https://youtu.be/bysyroEX5II

  Trump now calls himself Mr Veto, vowing to veto every bill the newly elected Congress passes. I believe this will push Democrats to prioritize issues where many Republicans break with Trump, to build a veto-proof two-thirds majority behind each bill. We will likely see a vote to force the full release of the Epstein files. Few politicians will side with Trump on that toxic issue, and with two-thirds in favor, Congress demonstrates its power and makes Trump's veto strategy backfire.

  Asked if the US president should change course after so many voters voted for change, Speaker Mike Johnson says he is sorry that voters “made the wrong choice”. Clearly, Mr. Johnson does not understand the basic fact that in a representative democracy, the choice made by the voters is PER DEFINITION the right choice.

  I see a false narrative rising in US politics. Some argue that the new Congress should focus on delivering for the people rather than holding the administration to account. That is a false dichotomy. Corruption undermines any Congress' ability to deliver for the people. Investigating the administration is not about retribution. It is about ensuring that money lost to corruption is recovered, so it can benefit the people instead. It is not an either/or. Congress can do both.

  And so it begins! Today, Republican Massie brings articles of impeachment against Hegseth for 1. illegally waging war in Iran without approval of Congress, 2. failing to end the war on Congress’ orders, 3. causing death of at least 156 civilians at a school in Iran, by removing checks that minimize casualties, 4. killing 243 in the Caribbean, 5. attacking freedom of speech of Mark Kelly, 6. kidnapping President Nicolás Maduro, and 7. killing 224 civilians in Yemen. https://massie.house.gov/...

  All I want the next Speaker of the House to say in his acceptance speech is, "Allow me to introduce our new Chief Prosecutor of the Nuremberg Trials, Mr. Jack Smith."

  Complete White House panic: Trump’s Attorney General Todd Blanche threatens to launch investigations into Democratic politicians, because they have said publicly they will investigate corruption in the Trump administration. You read that right: Tod Blanche thinks it is a crime… to investigate… crime. https://youtu.be/QwN0dSHRqWg

  Good news for Ukraine, bad news for Elon Musk. Senator Richard Blumenthal, who is a central voice on the Senate's Armed Services Committee, is investigating Elon's Starlink abuse and planning to impose public interest controls over the service. Come January, Democrats will be leading the Armed Services Committee, and Elon's games will be over.

  No matter who is inaugurated as US president in 2028, that person must begin their victory speech with the following: "On behalf of the entire planet I say to Donald Trump: Quiet piggy".

  Trump assigning Stephen Miller as Chief of Staff, is Hitler ordering SS General Felix Steiner to launch a counterattack north of Berlin. This is the beginning of the end.

  In most of Europe, if a government fails spectacularly, parliament can bring it down, through a new government or new elections. In the US, if an administration fails spectacularly, very little can happen until the midterms, and even then, the midterms only constrain the president, they do not remove him. It's like watching a house on fire, then being told the fire truck only comes by in November every four years. The US is in serious need of constitutional reform.

  The US midterm elections were a choice between two ideas: 1. the conservative idea that a white, Christian, nationalist, English speaking culture should be allowed to use politics to force everyone else to abide by their cultural norms, or 2. the modern idea that everyone should be allowed to live their lives the way they want to, no matter their color, gender, sexual orientation, language, or ethnicity. Tuesday was a victory for diversity. Live and let live. ♥️

  Elon Musk moved Tesla to Texas. He then spent $200 million to keep Texas Republican. But last night the people of Texas elected Democratic senator James Talarico and Democratic governor Gina Hinojosa, and all over the US voters elected a blue House and a blue Senate. Democrats accuse Musk of using DOGE to fire people and cut agencies that were investigating him and his companies. Republicans blocked them from subpoenaing him. But come January, the Musk investigations begin.

  The past month has been nothing but negative ads in Texas lying about James Talarico — paid for by Elon Musk — and now look at this! Elon Musk has spent close to half a billion dollars on his get out of jail free card, and STILL the American people is saying “hell no!” to the billionaire.

  CNN projects: Democrats will flip the South Carolina senate seat. This means Trump’s pick Darlene Graham will lose. He owns this loss. “We're gonna win so much, you may even get tired of winning.” 👐

  Last week, the Court of Arbitration of Sports ruled that Russia should be allowed to play in the ice hockey world championship held in Germany next year. As a result, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Latvia, and the Czech Republic has now said they will not enter the ice in any match against the Russian team. This is the way! ✊🏼

  Trump could be campaigning, instead he is already admitting defeat. It will be very hard to come out Wednesday claiming election fraud after this admission. Via @MaryAustinBooks@mstdn.social — thanks!

  Those US voters who did not foresee the consequences when Trump campaigned on tariffs in 2024, have now seen the higher prices. Those who did not understand the consequences of deportation have now seen their spouses and co-workers deported. Those who thought Trump would stop wars have seen him start one in Iran, while helping Putin continue in Ukraine. If there is a blue wave tomorrow, the election is not rigged. The result is a consequence of the people realizing Trump must be stopped.

  It has been 247 days since the Trump administration bombed a primary school in southern Iran, killing 156 civilians, including 120 schoolchildren. I am presenting the Iranian death toll, because the US has not published findings of an official investigation into what UN investigators call a likely war crime. Trump just denied responsibility, and because Republicans control both chambers, no independent Congressional investigation has been launched. In the midterms, vote for accountability.

  "Mum, how did we lose planet earth?" "Well son, we were on the right path to saving it, but then a couple of rich guys decided we should pollute even more, so we could use AI to generate sexualized photos of famous people against their will. It sounds silly now, but back in 2026 no one realized that maybe a few billionaires should not be able to make that decision on behalf of all 8 billion of us." #2050Today

  Trump banning Politico, MS Now, and CNN from the White House press pool, and ABC, CBS, Fox, and NBC responding by suspending their coverage too, so Donald no longer has a camera to talk to, is just today's most beautiful manifestation that the US has #NoKings.

  The premise behind the anti-#trans sentiment is that men would endure years of hormone treatment, social stigma, and even surgery, just to visit a public bathroom and pee in a closed stall next to another stall with a woman inside. That is the dumbest premise for hatred I have ever heard. Those who transition do so because, after years of consideration, they have realized this is their only viable path to becoming their true selves. Respect that.
