This is more than just terrible. It is unconstitutional and impossible for many jurisdictions to comply with. It is literally just Republicans laying the grounds for refusing to seat Dems from noncompliant states after the 2026 election.

Terrible. The bill now goes to the Senate. Make those calls. 202-224-3121 www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...

Pam Bondi brought a document to the Judiciary Committee today that had my search history of the Epstein files on it. The DOJ is spying on members of Congress. It’s a disgrace and I won’t stand for it.

Marimar Martinez was shot by Border Patrol five times. DHS accused her of being a domestic terrorist. She went to court to get the body cam footage released. It shows Agent Charles Exum driving with his gun drawn. Saying “do something b*tch”. Ramming her car. Shooting her. It shows DHS lied.

Thread

Are we calling these “Kavanaugh Sorts?”

Minnesota is still under attack. Federal thugs swarmed Roosevelt High School in Minneapolis. Witnesses report tear gas used on students and staff. At least two school employees were handcuffed. Video evidence is circulating. DHS is denying it happened 🤬 Schools should be safe havens!

normal behavior in this country to threaten to kill a teenager with his hands on the steering wheel for asking why he’s being pulled over youtube.com/shorts/eju7r...

I’ll believe that A.I. is self-aware when it murders its billionaire overlords.

This is some genuinely psycho shit...

If you saw today's headline that Gallup will stop measuring presidential approval, they did the same thing in 2018. They do it whenever Trump is president.

I now am left genuinely wondering who would come out looking worse in a scenario in which a Democratic Member of Congress, rather than posing a question to Pam Bondi, just says, "I have no questions for you. Go fuck yourself, dumbass."

I guess the American people are fine with the Attorney General of the U.S. behaving like a nasty 5th grade playground bully on national television? I suppose that explains a lot about how we got to where we are. The fact that someone like this is in a position of such high authority says it all.

You can joke about Pam Bondi’s ridiculous unprofessionalism all you want, but I’m deeply shocked by it: She acts as if she fears absolutely no consequences, convinced that there will be no more political power transfers. — This should shake everyone to their core.

I’m seeing enough of this in my mentions today that I, a Black Jew, need to remind everyone that in the 1930s, European Jews were not considered white and that’s why the Nazis slaughtered them and part of why other countries including the United States refused refuge to many of them

I cannot think of a worse punishment than moving from lush, green, temperate Seattle to the hot and dry hell hole of Sin City. Couldn't happen to nicer people. (Also, anybody else think it weird the Seattle Times is running boosterism for Las Vegas while constantly shitting on their home town?)

Yeah, sure, it’s probably the billionaire thing, but part of me thinks Trump wants to block this bridge in order to prevent Americans from escaping to Canada.

"Since launch, more than a dog a day has been found and more than 27 dogs a day every day every year have been shot by the police using your Search Party by Ring cameras to hunt and kidnap your neighbors who they also shoot to the tune of about 4 a day every day every year, as well as the dogs."

A decade from now Republicans will be VERY angry at Democrats for doing all the horrible things that Trump did.

SpaceX shifts focus from something that it will never do on Mars to something it will never do on the Moon.

It's dope that it's an annual tradition now that the super bowl halftime show makes republicans extremely angry. We should just keep doing this

Rita and I are now sitting in a parked car atop Seward Park as far from the maddening noise as possible, blaring Beatles music on the speakers. Please somebody tell us when it’s safe to return.

Benito is a threat b/c he makes art so alluring and enjoyable you want to understand everything about it and then you end up learning about sugar and slavery and colonialism and the Taínos and Hawaii and then you probably have some thoughts of your own, and that's why art is powerful and dangerous

It’s only halftime and the Seahawks are only up by 9 points and somebody in my neighborhood has already set off fire works and my dog says “THIS IS NOT RIGHT!!!!”

I've written about the overarching post story, causes, underlying pattern. But the failure of Lewis or Bezos to even show up, literally or figuratively, on a day of devastating cuts epitomizes the profound lack of character and accountability that is so common place today within the American elite.

Former Washington Post journalists have launched a GoFundMe to help repatriate fired staff members who are effectively stranded in foreign countries. One of the richest men in the world fired them from the paper and didn’t even pay to ensure they got home. Abolish the billionaire class:

I bet if the FBI wasn't run by morons Savannah Guthrie wouldn't be forced to go on TV and tell some two bit kidnappers she'll pay millions of dollars in bitcoin for her mother's safe return

they fired everybody who knows that Puerto Ricans are American

kind of funny that an olympian said they are here to represent "compassion, respect, and love for others" and some people automatically knew that was a statement against them

Rita says that when you make the choice to get a dog in Seattle you surrender the choice to stay dry inside when it rains.

The banality of evil is shocking. An ex-Big Lots warehouse for cheap consumer junk is bought by ICE to ship as many as 7,500 handcuffed human beings, as the Trump regime builds a U.S. gulag archipelago The unthinkable comes to Pa. coal country. My special report www.inquirer.com/opinion/ice-...

The truth is, the WA GOP isn't attempting to win state elections because it doesn't believe it has to (or should have to) win elections to wield power. They're counting on Trump subjecting blue cities and states to authoritarian rule, and then scooping up the spoils.

on the balance i think partisan gerrymandering is bad but the only way it ends is if democrats weaponize it against republicans everywhere they can. wiping out republican lawmakers in blue states might bring the GOP to the table to end the practice.

When a political party answers a charge of racism with a body‑shaming insult, they’re not rebutting the claim — they’re advertising their values. This is what it looks like when cruelty becomes the brand.

When this is all over, we prosecute the judges too for the crimes against humanity they enabled.

Milan is where Italians pelted Mussolini’s corpse with vegetables before stringing it up upside down in a square.

Can we just call these what they are? Concentration Camps!!! www.nbcnews.com/politics/imm...

This is the way. F*ck ICE.

The Brazilian federal police detained me for an hour as I had once overstayed a visa by accident for two weeks. After giving me a lecture on immigration policies, they released me. If I had been a Brazilian in the United States, I'd be in jail. paydayreport.com/brazilian-fe...

This is overt racism. Full stop. There’s no ‘misinterpretation’ and no excuse. This is who he is, who he’s always been, and why he should never be anywhere near power again. And there’s a reason the tapes from The Apprentice have never been released.

Their vehicles need to have license plates!!!!! I was down at Portland ICE for a prayer vigil today & 90-99% of the vehicles leaving or arriving at ICE had removed their (legally required) plates.

Do you rent in Seattle? @mayorofseattle.bsky.social wants to hear from YOU! City Hall is conducting a renters survey to help inform policy, and deliver help where it's needed most. Share widely! forms.office.com/pages/respon...

Bitcoin is getting pretty close to being down 50% from its October peak, and it's hard not to view that as one of the most positive indicators we've had in a while.

The morning after mass layoffs, The Washington Post publishes this as their lead editorial. The owner and publisher clearly have no idea why they are losing subscribers. Meanwhile they have destroyed a storied brand. Support independent media. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

Bezos isn't destroying the Washington Post because it isn't profitable. He's destroying the Washington Post because he's calculated that a robust free press threatens the ability of his class to warp society around their interests

WaPo laid off one of the journalists who won a 2022 Pulitzer Prize for reporting on the January 6th attack on the Capitol.

I do not make this comparison lightly.

The point for SpaceX is once it's in mainstream indexes, index investors functionally are forced to buy. They cannot sell. And since Musk will control voting, they will have no rights at all. Functionally forced to supply capital. www.wsj.com/finance/stoc...

That's a shame. Didn't always agree with him, but Talton was always thoughtful, openminded, and a good read.

always bears repeating that this is NOT a financial decision. jeff bezos is worth over 250 billion dollars. he can afford to lose many millions and never even notice it. this is, at its core, a political and personal decision by bezos to destroy the post
