Ukraine was winning the war, so Trump kneecapped Ukraine to help Russia. I wish it weren’t that simple, but it is. Our president is in bed with our enemies.

Nothing he is saying here is true. Nothing he is saying here makes sense. He is an idiot. An absolute idiot.
Trump: I'm signing an executive order to open the pumps and valves in the north to get the water pouring down here as quickly as possible and let hundreds of millions of gallons of water flow down into Southern California.

This is how you say “go F yourself sideways with a porcupine” in inspector general speak. Going to be interesting to see how the administration responds

Trump could have appointed serious Conservatives to his Cabinet. Instead, he picked nuts and freaks. Why? To prove he could make Republican Senators do whatever he told them to. Humiliation through submission.
Trump is appointing dangerously incompetent people to his cabinet on purpose. He’s making sure Republican Senators are willing to do his bidding, no matter the cost to our country. Call your Senator and tell them not to confirm this circus: 202-224-3221

Tbh, if I were a big Democratic donor, I'd cancel for now all my contributions to the DNC, DSSC, DCCC, and affiliated organizations. I'd explain that I'm targeting my resources to groups trying to do something meaningful to oppose Trump's authoritarian takeover.

Blind the watchers. Discredit the enforcers. Equate the leader with the law. Deny the existence of truth.
GOP Sen. Susan Collins reacts to Trump's firing of 17 inspectors general: "I don't understand why one would fire individuals whose mission it is to root out waste, fraud and abuse. This leaves a gap in what I know is a priority for President Trump. So I don't understand it."

The dumbest mother fucker on Earth is President.
Trump: "The trees are loaded with water. They suck that water out of the ground ... it's called management of the floor."

He’s incandescently stupid. There’s poison all over the place. Lithium batteries burned, including at least one large array, not to mention all the electric vehicles, solar panels, etc. There’s soot, asbestos, and chemicals to be dealt with. And his attitude is “yeah, whatever.”
after Karen Bass tells Trump that reconstruction will start after hazardous waste is removed, Trump says, "what's hazardous waste? I mean, you're gonna have to define that. We're gonna through a whole series of questions on determining what's hazardous waste? I just think you have to let the people go on their site and start the process tonight."

ITEM: Air Force removes video of Tuskegee Airmen. ITEM: Grants to non-profits helping needy at home and abroad cut off abruptly. ITEM: Musk flies to Germany to address the AfD. The bigotry is the point. The cruelty is the point. The--dare one say it?--fascism is the point.

I ran @USAID health programs for the last 3 years. Trump’s 90 day Stop Work Order on foreign assistance does serious damage to the world and the US. Examples:🧵

The election results put an exclamation point on pervasive concerns about distrust and dissatisfaction with the news media. Now a reckoning is underway. Media execs and rank-and-file reporters are wondering what needs to change. So here are some concrete ideas... đź§µ

A guy who spent large part of his adult life addicted to heroin. who abuses steroids so much it has killed his voice, who is opposed to all mandatory vaccines in school, including measles and polio, who opposes fluoridated water... A guy his own family says is dangerous. Do you really want this guy messing with your family's health and well-being? Madness.
President Trump has asked me to do three things: 1. Clean up the corruption in our government health agencies. 2. Return those agencies to their rich tradition of gold-standard, evidence-based science. 3. Make America Healthy Again by ending the chronic disease epidemic.

Btw I’m not just picking on Haley here. This is how virtually every Republican talked about Trump in January 2021 — he’s a disgraced menace to democracy, but c’mon, there’s no need to hold him accountable. Don’t you know his career in politics is finished?

I've tried to approach this election unflinchingly & w/ clear eyes, but this is the absolute worst case scenario. We're in an epochal shift in American history of the worst sort, &, while it does not spell the absolute end of Amer liberal democracy, MAGA is a fatal illness. 1/

Not too sure that Republicans going from calling Puerto Ricans garbage to calling a woman garbage is the whiz-bang political chess move they think it is

“One of the reasons why I think [Jan 6th] is important is because it highlights the reasons why a guy like Donald Trump is so fucking dangerous, is because a guy can incite a bunch of morons to do something really fucking stupid.” - Joe Rogan, June 2021 xitter.cf/KyleKulinski/status/18…
The great and powerful @elonmusk. If it wasn't for him we'd be fucked. He makes what I think is the most compelling case for Trump you'll hear, and I agree with him every step of the way. For the record, yes, that's an endorsement of Trump. Enjoy the podcast

Republican Mayor of Mesa, Arizona John Giles: John McCain always taught us to put country over party. So tomorrow, this lifelong Republican is excited to vote for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz because I know that they will put the country first.
