.@ClyburnSC06 to reporters on Republicans in South Carolina rejecting Trump’s push to eliminate his seat:

“Y’all can write what you want to write, but I'm gonna say it again. There is a comprehensive approach on the part of this administration to turn the clock back to what I call Jim Crow 2.0, that's what this is.

And the press — you all are not immune from this, you are the enemy of the people. Don't forget.”

“This is the start of our profile piece…”
says the voice over as you can clearly see see Becerra laughing, because she had obviously just said something to him that they clipped out.

If you’re failing for this obvious hit, you’re either dumb as shit or, more likely, paid by Tom

@neeratanden - an accomplished, experienced woman - had her nomination as OMB Director pulled b/c she sent a mean tweet about a Senator but men w/o a rudimentary understanding of a Department they run just go about their day w/o a care in the world. Great stuff.

Biden's presidency was ended by the media who blamed him personally for a spike in inflation that happened due to things outside his control. Inflation is spiking now due entirely to decisions Trump has made and the media could not care less. Absolutely fucking infuriating.

[scary lawyerguy @scarylawyerguy]

Instead of coasting off the hard work Biden did and stealing all the credit, Trump decided to do a mass deportation purge combined with a tariff war and a shooting war, all of which are leading to the below and yet media coverage of the economy is STILL not up to the moment

[scary lawyerguy @scarylawyerguy]

The media bludgeoned Biden's presidency to death over an increase in inflation that was beyond his control while they say jack fucking shit about inflation going up directly because of actions Trump takes.

Sellers: “We are going to be the first generation to actually leave this country worse than the one that we inherited.
Bakari: And I think for black millennials, uh the the the progress that our parents and grandparents gave us, that we're watching being ripped away from us is something that our generation is going to have to really wrestle with and and figuring out how we get out of this conundrum.

If somebody fell asleep in 1896 and woke up today in 2026, they would simply say the only difference is now Negroes have a TV show and we wear nice suits.

They they swapped out clan hoods for Brooks Brothers suits. And and that is the problem.

I mean, Plessy v. Ferguson was 7-1 and it gave birth to 50 years of Jim Crow.

What we have with this court right now, what we're seeing is is watching people who have fought and died and bled so that we would have access to the ballot box, so that we would have access to our voices being heard in Congress, being ripped away.

And and I think that there is a casual laughter from people we believe to be our friends on the right who are showing us true colors today because the most sacred or one of the most sacred acts you have in the United States of America is the ability to cast a ballot and elect someone and send them to Congress, the state house or mayoral seat that represents your interest and now black folks throughout the South are being silenced.

I asked the great @TiffanyDCross Tiffany Cross about Trumps hateful rhetoric towards Black women journalist and the lack of support from media colleagues

.@Sen_JoeManchin and @kyrstensinema will go down in history as two of the people who stood at the doorway and blocked the passage of the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act when democracy and Black political power were under assault.

History teaches us what happens when leaders choose political comfort over moral courage. The Hayes Tilden Compromise ended Reconstruction and unleashed nearly a century of disenfranchisement, terror, and the systematic destruction of Black political power across the South.

Different era. Different names. Same devastating consequences.

When people ask how we got here, their failure to lead and act in that moment will be part of the answer.

[Neera Tanden🌻 @neeratanden]

Since Bush v Gore, the Supreme Court has demonstrated that their first rule is helping Republicans win.
They are responsible for the loss of confidence in their impartiality. They are creating the demand for reform.

[Chef Joe Gera 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🇮🇹 @redhotnerd]

This is blatantly unconstitutional disenfranchisement. And it’s completely fucking illegal. “Name how black people are losing their voting rights” THIS. THIS is how you absolute nitwits. Fuck every single person who’s enabled this bullshit.

[Jessica Tarlov @JessicaTarlov]

I know folks were really excited to be able to say ‘retard’ again, but would hope ‘cotton picking’ hands about a Black man is a bridge too far. Modern day GOP.

[Jamesetta Williams 💕 @jamesetta_w]

I simply cannot believe I live in a timeline where journalists helped force the last president out of his reelection campaign for being too old, so the country put an unstable 79 year old who falls asleep constantly in office and none of the same journalists care at all.

[scary lawyerguy @scarylawyerguy]

Just remembering the media meltdown when *candidate* Hillary Clinton got woozy at an hour-long 9/11 event taking place in 85 degree weather while she had pneumonia but *President* Donald Trump routinely dozes off in public to precisely NO questions from the press.

[Centrism Fan Acct 🔹 @Wilson__Valdez]

The Pod Bros had 20+ tweets about the DNC autopsy but couldn't even be bothered a single one mentioning the VRA being gutted. So telling...

[Adam Parkhomenko @AdamParkhomenko]

She’s the first woman elected governor of the Commonwealth of Virginia. You fucking hate women. There’s the dog whistle and then there’s the chris whistle.

[Tim @trouble_man90]

I want the media and press to pretend Joe Biden or Barack Obama did this and respond the way they would it were them

[Ameshia Cross @AmeshiaCross]

This is so damn disrespectful. Obama was a US Senator, a state Senator and a community leader and advocate for years before becoming POTUS. A Harvard educated lawyer, first Black president of the Harvard Law Review. Spencer Pratt was a reality tv boyfriend 2 decades ago. Stop it

[Cassandra the Anti-Nihilist @WriterWarrior]

There is a clear beltway obsession with Harris that reveals a deep desire for her to be some sort of Dem foil. It's similar to their obsession w/ Hillary Clinton, Obama and Biden, but there's still a different, edgier tone.

Journos like Martin want pols like Pritzker to join in.

[scary lawyerguy @scarylawyerguy]

The quintessential "inside the beltway" story that literally no one outside of DC cares about. Like please, point me to the focus group saying WHY HASN'T THE DNC AUTOPSY REPORT BEEN RELEASED? Just fodder for more ~ Dems in Disarray ~ click bait.
