correct there is no reason for a single one of them to vote for Mullin (yes, Mr. Fetterman, that means you) and they should make this as embarrassing as possible - which, given Mullin’s extensive track record of putting his foot in his mouth, shouldn’t even be that hard

Fetterman is basically a reactionary now: there is no real effort to explain why Mullin - a buffoon who spent the week insisting we are not at war with Iran - is qualified. Trump nominated Mullin, and that’s good enough for him.

get a load of Kristi Noem's facial expressions as Rep. Kamlager-Dove enters articles in the congressional record with headlines like, "Lewandowski taking out trash at Noem's DC home" and "ICE Barbie's mile high private chamber with alleged lover exposed"

Whoever taught you the branches have 🟰 power is wrong. The legislature is top dog. Checks and balances doesn’t mean everyone has the 🟰 power. It means branches can keep others in line when they become a threat to the people. But that only works when the legislature utilizes its power. Cc: Congress

McGovern: How the hell is this America first? You guys broke your top campaign promise. Good luck with that. I hope the defense contractor money was worth it. Shame on you all. The mask is off. You're all just a bunch of pathetic Neocon Warmongers.

Emmanuel Damas, another individual killed in ICE custody. He had a toothache. They ignored it. He died of spesis. Read that again. Why do we need to fund this murderous agency? www.washingtonpost.com/national/202...

SOUP DU JOUR | THURSDAY 💻🐈‍⬛️

They are torturing and killing people in our concentration camps, and I wish more people were actively bothered by that

Weird how this keeps happening! www.miamiherald.com/news/politic...

AOC: This is about actual crimes happening in front of us. This is about shredding the Constitution and plunging us into war. This is about taking crypto money and money laundering… So if you’re asking me if I’d support impeachment, I do

Anyways.

The video of a United States Senator joining the violent removal of U.S. marine from a hearing and hideously breaking his arm in a door is an example of what has been unleashed in this country. They’re tapping in to get in on the violence. And then he bragged about it on X later.

AOC: He impulsively went in on Venezuela. He impulsively went in on Iran. It led to increased global instability and every time he’s done that, it has been consistent with a spike in what is happening with the Epstein files. I think that he feels existentially tied to it.

AOC: If people like Kristi Noem, Kash Patel, and Pam Bondi violate the law, there are supposed to be consequences. These are people who call themselves law enforcement officers. The message they’re sending is that they can cover up for pedophiles and street executions. That cannot be acceptable.

It is so damning of US news media that so many outlets refuse to just straight up say that Senator Tim Sheehy assaulted an activist. He did not "help" Capitol police. They did not need his help. He wanted to assault the guy and did. He should resign.

Kelly: "You could pick a random group of people off the street tonight here in DC and they could probably do a better job than our government is doing right now. They don't have a goal, there's no strategic plan. And what this is likely to lead to is, again, a long war with a lot of dead Americans."

Here's my first edit on the March 3rd Lunar Eclipse. 15 moon shots, 1 foreground. Taken over a 3 hourish period.

The extent to which Karoline Leavitt is telling the world that the war on Iran was begun on the basis of a Presidential "feeling" is....staggering. Not even attempting to avoid using the word.

I voted in Dallas County today. The texas.gov site wouldn't tell me where to go, so I went to where I voted in the '24 presidential election. They said I was at the wrong place, and gave me the address I needed to go to. That place then informed me I had to go somewhere else.

kind of crazy that if you have enough money and don't like what you see in the media, you can just buy up every film studio, news station, and social media app and change it

A US submarine sinking a lonely, dinky Iranian surface ship an ocean away from the theater of the main conflict—and 9000 miles from North America—makes it pretty clear the US is fighting a general war, without the declaration required by the Constitution. www.reuters.com/world/asia-p...

deleted his tweet as soon as an actual war popped off

it is and he was right to say it

Raskin tears Kristi Noem a new one: "Apparently when your blankie was left on one of the govt jets and not transported to the new one, your special govt employee, Corey Lewandowski, chivalrously stepped forward to fight the pilot -- mid air!"

NOEM: I hope Miguel Lopez got the $2,600 SWALWELL: Do you think that makes up for not being with his family? It was a nonviolent crime NOEM: Now that he's been deported he will never get the chance to come back S: The president is also a convicted felon if you want to talk about criminal records

LIEU: Did Amalia commit a crime? NOEM: She did not. She's with her family LIEU: The reason she's with her family is because she almost died in ICE detention until folks brought a lawsuit forcing her release

Lou Correa raises a report of a bunch of Orange County cases where ICE did not show up to pick up actual criminals. Then he asks Noem if she snatches US citizens. Literally MINUTES after Jayapal raised the four people who were detained, she says she does not. Correa now listing more examples.

SOUP DU JOUR | WEDNESDAY The face of a cat who attacked his mom's hair right before she went to the store for milk so u thought she was never coming back but then she did and youve been a stage 5 clinger ever since

The Senate race in Texas is exactly why I don’t believe anyone who says Texas is more liberal and progressive than we think. That it’s just “gerrymander to hell.” They’d rather an unproven white Christian man than a highly educated woman w significant experience taking on the Trump administration.

NANCY MACE: What is a woman? Have you learned that lesson? WALZ: I'm the governor of Minnesota. I'm not here to be a prop for your obsession.

David Attenborough [whispering]: “As the predators close in on their helpless prey, we can only watch in silent horror, for it is not man’s role to interfere in the hierarchy of nature.”

This moron has no idea how much of a third rail this is. If he goes through with a public fight with Dunkin he will never live this down. In the words of my people "fuck ya motha."

Polymarket has created a betting market on the use of nuclear weapons. Everyone involved in this should be put in prison for life.

BLUMENTHAL: Is the agent who shot Ms Martinez sill on the job? NOEM: Our officers conduct operations every day- B: Is he still on the job carrying a gun? N: I dunno B: Would you agree he shouldn't be? N: I'll get back to you B: I think Americans would find it absolutely terrifying if he is

trying out a new feature, lmk if it works

NEWS: Americans were told to evacuate the Middle East — but the State Dept is not helping them do it. We called the State hotline. First thing you hear is an automated message: "Do not rely on the U.S. government for assisted departure or evacuation."

:P

So, in launching a huge bombing campaign on Iran they apparently didn't plan for: - Who takes over; - Interceptor shortages from sustained drone retaliation; - How to defend US bases in the region; - Threats to ships in the Strait of Hormuz; and - How to evacuate Americans with airspace closed.

@alefvernon.bsky.social are you kiddinggggggg me 😭🙏 Ophelia, Opalite & Elizabeth Taylor as Sisters 🧡🩵💜 Which one is your favorite?

For years on my old blog I published the names of servicemembers who died in Iraq & Afghanistan. No other outlets were. These are the first 4 Americans to die in the Iran War. Capt. Cody A. Khork, 35 Sgt. 1st Class Noah L. Tietjens, 42 Sgt. 1st Class Nicole M. Amor, 39 Sgt. Declan J. Coady, 20

Tillis to Noem: "A 14 month old dog is basically a teenager in dog years. You decided to kill that dog bc you hadn't invested the appropriate training, then you have the audacity to write a book & say it's a leadership lesson! ... Those are bad decisions not unlike what happened in Minneapolis"

wow -- Tillis goes ballistic on Noem, telling her "what we've seen is a disaster under your leadership"

after absolutely eviscerating Kristi Noem and calling for her resignation, Tillis is applauded. He thens threatens to hold up nominees if she doesn't stop stonewalling him. My God.

WELCH: Mr. Yoho is also the husband of your former spokesperson, Tricia McLaughlin? NOEM: Yes WELCH: So your former assistant and her husband are the ones that got the DHS no bid contract for $143m. Any dispute about that? NOEM: No.
