@elonmusk If everyone is wealthy/rich, no one is. That's why it'll never happen. The rich won't share their money or their status.

This is a damning piece about a torture prison that is being used by the Trump administration. That’s why the piece was pulled. All Americans deserve to see this story. Shame on Bari Weiss.

Unconfirmed sources linked to Admiral Bradley say the only reason he gave the order to strike the boat a second time was because those orders came from the President himself & apparently there’s proof of it! 🤬

[David Halperin @DaHalperin]

He Helped Run Some of the Worst For-Profit Colleges. The Trump Team Just Picked Him to Oversee College Quality. https://t.co/hyODWXvIt6

How he greets this disabled woman
That's heartwarming 🥰

Sen. Padilla frames this in exactly the right way:

"If this is how the Department of Homeland Security responds to a senator with a question...I can only imagine what they're doing to farmworkers, to cooks, to day laborers, in Los Angeles & throughout California & the country."

[Rep. Eric Swalwell @RepSwalwell]

This meme is everywhere.
Let’s be kinder to each other. Making fun of an almost-80-year-old falling on the stairs has no place in our politics.

@Not_the_Bee @elonmusk Good thing he's meddling with trillion dollar budget info.

[Pete Buttigieg @PeteButtigieg]

Donald Trump and the wealthy, powerful men around him don't take grave failures like this one seriously, because they know that they'll be fine no matter how much damage they do along the way.

[Pete Buttigieg @PeteButtigieg]

From an operational security perspective, this is the highest level of fuckup imaginable. These people cannot keep America safe.

@TopherGotWifi @elonmusk Any new his will be probationary...so, there's that.

I’ve been reflecting on this over the past day or so, and I’ve come to a realization.

Many of my friends on the center-right who are upset with me for making what I believe to be very obvious observations aren’t necessarily angry at me—they’re angry at the implications of what I’m saying.

The idea that neo-Nazism has entered the mainstream, potentially influencing the White House, is so alarming and existentially terrifying that it's easier to lash out at the messenger than confront the reality.

If they accept this, it means that the political home they've invested so much of their identity in, the movement they've championed for years, has become something so morally repugnant that accepting it feels like breaking their own brain.

The cognitive dissonance is overwhelming.

What's striking to me is the selective outrage. Many of these same people are quick to call everyone communists, often with little more than circumstantial evidence.

Yet, when it comes to countless instances of glaringly obvious signs of fascism in their own movement, they either look away or attack those pointing it out.

@LindseyGrahamSC You're a disgrace from a state with a disgraceful history. Chin up, bub, y'all failed the first time but you kept your eyes on the prize and managed to destroy a great nation.

[Rontaneous @quietpro67]

@christinmassey @MayNotBeJoking @sdjostu @gtconway3d ...and they'll blame the lasting effects on whomever comes after.

[Rontaneous @quietpro67]

@MayNotBeJoking @sdjostu @gtconway3d Germany wasn't as powerful then as we are now. Nevertheless, the end of Germany came with its near total destruction and the deaths of millions. Germany wasn't the shining star of democracy for the world.

Trumpism will end but what will be left?

@FairMindPoli @lawindsor Ummm...ya mean like how they interfered in 2016 and were held accountable?

[Rontaneous @quietpro67]

@Dog_House_Show @lawindsor Like he did with Tillerson? They're the best people until he tires of them.

[Rontaneous @quietpro67]

@ChrisCostCFA @gtconway3d ...and the ridiculous comb over.

@nelmagene2010 @JoJoFromJerz They were waiting for him to continue. When Noem tried to restart, he agreed but then played music instead. When Noem tried to wrap it up, he agreed and then played music instead. The crowd paid to hear him talk and waited patiently...but got nothing.

@kenjansen @JoJoFromJerz It's on C-span. That's where I watched it. Much more in it than what was reported.
