🚨CNN has uncovered an audio in which RFK Jr scorched Trump and his supporters, calling them “belligerent idiots," "outright Nazis," “cowards," and "bootlickers."
A Trump supporter who was among the first rioters to breach the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, has been convicted of plotting to kill FBI special agents who investigated him over his crimes at the Capitol. https://t.co/3KfrSCPWSX
Bill Clinton: He's interested in people who are loyal to him 100% of the time no matter who gets hurt. He believes that his supporters have no confidence whatever in the federal government. And Lord knows he's done everything he could to destroy that confidence.
Glad to see that Matt Gaetz has withdrawn from consideration as Attorney General. He was a terrible choice for the nation’s top law enforcement agency.
The American people deserve a nominee devoted to them and the Rule of Law, not the person of the president or partisan agenda.
If you've had your fill of the Matt Gaetz withdrawal from AG news, how about some dessert: a recently unearthed recording of RFK Jr calling MAGA “belligerent idiots” and “bootlickers.”
RFK Jr's got some explaining to do!
In a stunning admission, Mike Johnson is willing to undermine the Senate and ram through Trump's cabinet picks with recess appointments. When I told y'all what the Enabling Act of 1933 was for Hitler, Project 2025 is for Trump, I wasn't joking. 😳👇
In April, The Biden-Harris Labor Department expanded overtime pay rules.
Roughly 4.3 million more workers would have been eligible for OT pay under the new rule.
A Trump-appointed judged blocked it yesterday.
Go ahead and keep telling me that the GOP is the party of workers.
“RFK Jr. is the poster boy for the new Trump administration, a rich man who never has had to worry about a thing in his life, putting the lives of ordinary Americans in jeopardy because he thinks he knows better than scientists”

Many compare Trump to Putin. I have, too. But the moment right now feels more like the Yeltsin era, when Russia's oligarchs took advantage of an older & somewhat incapacitated leader to privatize the state for their own interests. I wrote about this at length in the 1990s. THREAD 1/
News: Asshole responsible for allowing fascism to take hold in the federal government whines about fascism taking hold in the federal government...

Trump wants to avoid FBI background checks for the likes of Matt Gaetz and Tulsi Gabbard?
A president who cared about the country would want to make sure their nominees were not child sex traffickers or fond of dictators.
But it’s never been America first. Only Trump first.
“Trump is constructing a kind of anti-government—in the sense of being government’s evil twin. Every appointee is selected as a deliberate negation, even a mockery, of the function of government he or she will be in charge of.” https://t.co/EqCFQg1vn0
“It is a mistake to think authoritarian leaders want to strengthen government. They want to weaken government’s institutions. They want a government without rules and procedures to provide more scope for the exercise of arbitrary and capricious power.” https://t.co/k5SckSh3GA
No president has used his Art. II power to force Congress to recess for the purpose of circumventing the Senate’s obligation to provide “advice and consent” regarding presidential nominations. Doing so would violate the Constitution’s basic structure of checks and balances.
Conservative lawyer @gtconway3d on Trump’s latest cabinet picks:
“If you were actively trying to do harm to the country, to destroy the country, these are the kind of people, if not the people, you would pick…Mark my word-It is only going to get worse.”
KASIE HUNT: Over the summer you said, “There’s no vaccine that’s safe and effective”. Do you still believe that?
RFK JR: “I never said that.”
KASIE HUNT: “Play the clip.”
RFK JR (clip): “There’s no vaccine that is safe and effective.” (March)
