Hold up

Congratulations to Alanis Morissette on no longer being the person most associated with misusing the word "ironic"

I don’t know if it’s a significant shift, but the guy in our neighbor who used to have several pro-Trump signs in his yard for years, now only has a couple of anti-Democratic politicians (Biden/Newsome) signs.

Breaking MSNBC: The U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Florida called a division-wide meeting this afternoon, following the resignations of two prosecutors who were asked to take part in a vast "conspiracy" investigation into former intel and law enforcement officials.

Trump just celebrated Schumer's cave by pardoning 75+ co-conspirators including Rudy Giuliani, Mark Meadows, and Sidney Powell, for their efforts to overturn the 2020 election.

Why are Democratic politicians not paying attention to this sentiment?

This was also my position in March. Any Democratic senator not calling for Schumer's ouster should be assumed to be complicit. Primary anyone who doesn't demand him gone.

The coordinated nature of this—none are facing voters in 2026—means that either Schumer approved it or failed in his job as Senate Majority Leader to stop it. Dems voting "no" get zero credit until they demand a change in leadership. Schumer out as Leader, Durbin out as Whip.

If Dems accept this deal, it will help the GOP cement the following ideas into the public conscience over the coming 4 weeks: -Shutdown was Dems fault/responsibility -They did it for nothing -They caved to Trump Having accepted responsibility, it will also cripple them in the follow up debate.

@schiff.senate.gov and @padilla.senate.gov — Disappointed I was unable to leave messages for either of you on this important vote. If this vote occurs, please do not in vote in favor of the proposed terms if they do not include an immediate extension of subsidies. Republican promises are worthless.

1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

Here’s another angle on the very tasteful decorations Trump has added to the West Colonnade. Some look like they’re affixed to some kind of thick matte board or something rather than the wall?

MAGA, I guess.

Dick Cheney did more than anyone else to build up expansive and destructive executive branch powers in the wake of 9/11; he lived to see another president turn those same powers against his own daughter. He should be a warning sign to the GOP today but too many of them are in the cult.

Louisiana — the red state that Mike Johnson nominally represents — has the second highest percentage of residents enrolled in SNAP in the nation. They’re pushing this fantasy about these being “Democrat programs” used only in blue states but that’s a PR fantasy divorced from reality.

if there was a rich person with the will, you could build the most incredible news organization that has ever existed just from the wreckage of this year alone.

ICE detained a Virginia mom while she was driving her 16yo daughter to school bc she couldn’t recall her SS#. “The agent got flustered and lunged at her,” said her daughter. ICE arrested her even after she showed proof of legal status. “I want this video out there because I want my mother home.”

Trump deported Iranian Christians with open asylum claims for religious persecution four weeks ago. He expelled other Iranian Christians, including children, to Panama in February.

will kim is still in ICE detention

Just want to reiterate that there’s no reason for this. There is no increase in crime. There are no riots. There’s no insurrection. They’re doing this without provocation. At least until they create one.

I would donate to such a project and volunteer. Everyone should have food and clean water.

In the Trump economy, the price of gaudy, gilded ballrooms has risen 50% in less than a year.

Mamdani is already getting the criminals out of NYC!

Terrorist Attack at the White House.

They couldn’t convince people the protesters were scary antifa supersoldiers so now they’re trying to dismiss them as weak and ineffectual grandmas

As a reminder to everyone, a key part of the Bari Weiss origin story is her livetweeting editorial meetings. In the institutions she critiques she treats leakers (including herself) as principled dissenters. In the institutions she controls, she expects loyal silence.

The Trump shit video is basically this, but I will reiterate that if a Dem is critical of conservative voters it’s a generational scandal and when Republican pols literally post themselves shitting on their opposition virtually the entire elite politics and media class treats it as fine and normal

Why we march.

Wow. Sidney Reid, the DC woman just found not guilty of assaulting an FBI agent, issues a withering and gutsy statement on Trump through her attorneys. "I feel sorry for the prosecutors really, who must be burdened by Trump's irrational and unfounded hatred for his fellow man." It's a must-read:

I'm sorry, is the Trump Administration talking to a tech platform? Is it...requesting content moderation?

WGN, this woman’s employer, is now reporting she was not charged with any crimes and was released. DHS said earlier she was arrested for assault for throwing objects at agents.

Huh: TikTok took down my 8-second video featuring this image of Debbie Brockman — the news producer just detained by Trump’s CBP agents — saying it violates the “joy of TikTok”

This is like bragging about how great you did on a roadside sobriety test. It’s intended just to see if you’re impaired. It’s not about measuring any positive attribute you might have, like how talented you are at walking along a straight line.

Donated last week and will donate again next week. Can donate more often and give more units than whole blood. It takes longer than a whole blood donation, but you can watch a movie.

So, theoretically… What happens if a governor in say Illinois or Oregon, calls up their National Guard, to keep the Texas National Guard from operating in their state? www.ksat.com/news/texas/2...

Is it possible that Trump’s ego is not the only reason he wants the Nobel Peace Prize? I think he also imagines it would help insulate him from accountability, as how would anyone dare impeach or prosecute “Donald Trump, winner of the Nobel Peace Prize”?

The regime's desire for authoritarianism is bottomless, but their capacity is not. Not even close. They rely on bluster and memes to make up the difference. The threat is real, but less powerful than they say. Freedom-loving Americans outnumber them by a lot. Communities can resist. Like this one:

I asked a Christian baker to write Charlie Kirk on a gay wedding cake and we've been staring at each other for 39 straight hours now

Criticizing Charlie Kirk is a fireable offense that incites domestic terrorism. But calling political opponents "the party of hate, evil, and Satan" is proper and good. Got it.

Famous words of many Nobel Peace Prize winners.

In case it wasn’t clear, the anti-DEI crusade has never been about merit. Zero news experience. Never been a reporter. Elevated to Editor in Chief of CBS News, one of the most storied news institutions in the nation. www.mediaite.com/media/news/p...

These people are absolute trash.

ER doc here! This is a lie. Wait times are up because the American healthcare system is an unsustainable business model and a for-profit national healthcare system just doesn’t work. These problems will continue to get worse until we change that system. It literally has nothing to do with immigrants
