Can I just say bravo to the Jez team? You’ve been cranking out the non-stop coverage over the last week. Thank you.

... And this godforsaken buffoon was somehow preferable to a woman who had been in public service her entire life because ...emails.

Did you see the interview with Masha Gessen on Samantha Bee’s show? Gessen was imputing some fairly arcane motivations to Trump, and Samantha Bee basically wondered whether he was intelligent enough to devise such advance plans.

Mayor de Blasio decried the executive order as “immoral” and vowed to fight the President tooth and nail.

The immigration executive orders are a nightmare. They are the worst case scenario. People will be ripped from their American families, women will be raped and murdered in their home countries after being returned to their persecutors, children will be locked in jails for weeks at a time, hispanics will be profiled…

I see what he’s doing here. He’s mounting an effort to seriously restrict voting laws with something like federal ID, even though his many syncophants don’t have the ‘nads to publicly dispute him. This is very dangerous, not just delusional and borderline insane.

Being registered in two states and being registered after death are NOT examples of fraud. It is the responsibility of each state to manage the registration list. So if someone moves (or dies) it’s on the state to update the lists.

It sure as hell won’t be used against the jerks that have parked themselves outside Planned Parenthood for decades or the recent type idiots (who, let’s face it, are the same idiots) who protested outside Target.

A not insignificant number of them are loving it right now.

Anyone who says this isn’t straight up fascism, is a straight up fascist themselves. Our right to peacefully assemble, which means anything short of actually smashing shit up, is guaranteed by our 1st amendment constitutional rights. Don’t think for a second that this law will not be used by a federal agency at some…

God, what an idiotic waste of money.

I’m much more concerned about the sanctuary cities than the wall. Yes, the wall is a stupid waste of money and rude, but I don’t see it doing serious damage to the country (I might not know enough about the issue, though).

National Park Service employees have gone fully rogue after Prump’s WH banned their tweets. Follow them if you’re interested in science and the environment:

Republican governors were adept at suing the Obama administration and I hope Democratic governors and AG’s can step the fuck up.

I think rather than the “knowing he has limited time in office” strategy, his handlers are using the “do all the cartoonishly terrible things at once so we overwhelm the opposition and they can’t fight back” strategy.

I think we need to mobilize and each find one or two specific causes we can target, while being…

I need the ACLU, Dems and journalists to get this man impeached YESTERDAY. The fact he’s moving so fast to burn our country to the ground shows that he knows he’s got limited time. SOMEBODY DO SOMETHING.

If every single Democrat doesn’t vote against DeVos, I will snap. She is a horrible monstrous person.

I can only assume (hope?) they are backing him because they have bigger fish to fry in terms of the cabinet nominees (like they’ve made a deal that they’ll back him if so-and-so doesn’t back someone else?). This still feels like a betrayal, but there are worse cabinet picks, imo.
