“I ain’t dead yet!” The dearly beloved Dolly Parton creates a “proof of life” video, assuring those who adore her that, even though she is dealing with some things, she is fine and still going strong 💛 Long live Dolly Parton ✨📚 📹: Via Dolly Parton

Men are groupies, and they're jealous because they think women "lucky" enough to marry the men that they admire should shut up and be happy.

😭😭😭😭😭

incredibly, bleakly funny that trump is going after christopher wray, who spent his entire tenure at the fbi with his head down desperately trying to avoid trump's attention and did nothing to protect the bureau from trump's attacks www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

he's going to come after you either way, so you might as well act with integrity

The whole point actually.

A Dem bill to block admin’s extrajudicial military executions of civilians at sea failed in Senate. “Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky and Sen. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska were the only Republicans to vote in favor of the resolution. Fetterman was the sole Democrat to break with the rest of his caucus.”

i love this.

Hakeem Jeffries obliterated Lying Mike Lawler: “You’re ripping away people’s health care. People will die in your district.” Then Creepy Mike Johnson tried to crash a press conference and got exposed for the Epstein cover-up. Every Democrat should be fighting like this. No excuses. 💥

See how he always calls Black Dems "low IQ"?

Fact check: No one is chanting "Death to ICE officers" or anything like that. There is a carnival atmosphere. And Fox is maintaining editorial rigor in insuring that their viewers don't actually get to see it. This is what fascism looks like.

"It’s health care at the center of this debate, and it’s health care that has upended the dynamics so that even well-connected GOP strategists are now predicting their party will 'cave.' Which on second thought maybe isn’t so surprising." www.thebulwark.com/p/democrats-...

This does provide some insight into how the Truth Social sausage gets made. The note in front of Trump says: "We need you to approve a Truth Social post soon so you can announce deal first."

People are following ICE in their cars to warn Chicagoans

One of the basic points in my new Dispatch piece on the right to record immigration raids and raiders is that ICE agents are already informally “enforcing” their disapproval of at-the-scene recording by roughing up journalists, freelance photographers, and others with cellphone cameras. /1

NEW: South Carolina already bans abortions after about six weeks of pregnancy, but some conservatives have decided that’s not enough. State GOP lawmakers are now pushing for a new bill that could criminalize sharing abortion information, @susanrinkunas.com writes.

🧵 Trump is criminally invading states under false pretenses. His supporters are trying to instigate violence by dressing as antifa and committing crimes. In this clip from Portland, Joey Gibson of "Patriot Prayer" and his fiancée, Lindsey Nichols, tried to cause trouble before being forced away.

We aren't on the verge of an authoritarian takeover. We are in the middle of it. But I worry people don't see the whole scheme. They just pay attention to each new daily outrage. So I went to the Senate floor to explain Trump's plan. Here's a 🧵of the speech. It's important.

One of the FBI employees fired, a combat veteran who was months away from becoming eligible for retirement, was called back to the office after they left for the day and informed of their dismissal, a person familiar with the matter told NBC News. www.nbcnews.com/politics/jus...

it’s all just a grift

This South Side Weekly report on the Chicago building raid is well worth reading. Most striking to me are the indications of collusion between federal authorities and the building owner and management to effect a mass eviction at the blighted property. southsideweekly.com/federal-agen...

Gentrification and fascism go hand in hand.

Pam Bondi brought a written list of insults to use against senators during her Epstein hearing the other day.

This is the energy I'm bringing to the end of the world

Gov. JB Pritzker on Trump: "He likes to pretend to be a tough guy. Come and get me." "What kind of a country are we living in where the President of the United States is targeting his political opponents?"

and the dv better leave more than visible bruises on the face. they need broken bones or death so they can say she should've left 🫶🏿

White boys aren’t the only ones consuming right wing red pill media, it’s a lot of black boys falling into the pipeline too and more parents should give a fuck about it

Johnson: "He has defunded our education system. He has defunded our transportation system. He's firing black women across this country. He's defunding our healthcare system. This president is absolutely out of control... Chicago is going to stand firm in protecting humanity."

😕 Here’s the video again: www.instagram.com/reel/DPi9m_2...

“A second inflatable frog has now been spotted wiggling through Portland.”

Same and by long period I mean for life

They said that like it was a bad thing

🚨BREAKING: A right-wing group with a long track record of pushing for voter roll purges, is asking the U.S. Supreme Court to reinterpret a federal law designed to expand voting access as a mandate for aggressive voter removals. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

this is how I, a resident of LA, found out that the Palisades fire was arson, that they caught the guy, and that he used gen AI to work his way up to doing the crime

love your work mrs theranos but how do you walk into this

More of this, please.

BREAKING: Federal judge officially found ICE violated people’s rights during raids in Chicago, conducted unlawful arrests.

Waiting on those $1000 tariff rebate checks. 🤡

Hey, you guys? Is it a good sign or a bad sign if the prosecution is just getting its hands around the evidence *after* it criminally charged the former FBI director?

But that's just my opinion.

A bunch of overly indulged twits running around insisting that "I'm just being my true self!" Yes, but your true self is trash & you have not one single virtue that would uphold/instill within you any of the values required to be a part of a decent, functioning society. It's all just me, me, me.

Basically what we've learned is how valuable having a society with a sense of shame is. At some point too many people became proud of being shameless and having no moral core. People like that used to be ostracized, but now they're given platforms & lauded for it. The more shameless the better.

It’s absolutely loser shit.

“The air traffic system, in general, is stressed to the max,” a veteran air traffic controller working at a major East Coast airport told Forbes on Tuesday, adding “sick outs will continue to happen because the [controllers] aren’t fit for duty.” www.forbes.com/sites/suzann...
