So, to be clear, Noem or Mullin or whoever, the work is unchanged: ICE must be abolished, DHS funding must be withheld, there must be accountability, and we must press our Congressional representatives to do this, and elect a Democratic Congress that can pursue it.

Democrats may not be able to prevent Mullin's confirmation, but they can certainly turn his track record of offense and stupidity into two days of televised humiliation so spectacular that he is wounded in Trump's eyes from day 1. That is the job.

Sorry boss, I can't work, I'm watching Kristi Noem do a press conference and she doesn't know she's been shitcanned

@nytpitchbot.bsky.social – During Kristi Noem's Keynote to the Major Cities Conference, President Donald Trump Had the Opportunity to Do the Funniest Thing

NOEM TAKING QUESTIONS - DOES NOT APPEAR TO KNOW SHE WAS FIRED

No word yet on if Markwayne Mullin gets Corey Lewandowski as part of his new position at DHS. Follow this breaking story.

On the edge of my seat, wondering what will become of her and Corey’s flying sex palace!

I'll note that the modern GOP's supposed "prudishness," like that of American Evangelical Christianity, was always false, covering some DEEP psycho-sexual obsession, as LGBTQ+ folk are especially aware. It's just now the masks are wearing increasingly thin, or coming off altogether.

APNewsAlert: WASHINGTON (AP) — Trump tells Axios he must be involved in selection of Iran's next leader and calls Khamenei's son an 'unacceptable' pick.

When Stephen Miller says "savages" it has a VERY specific connotation. (Surprise! It's racism.)

“But how will we pay for this program…?” 🤪

Thanks to the GenX and Millennial parents who made the top most popular names for boys in 2008: Aiden, Ethan, Noah, Cade, Caleb, Brayden, Jacob, Landon, Liam, Lukas, and Conor, thus ensuring a new generation of twinks.

NEW: Use our database to explore the financial disclosures of President Donald Trump and more than 1,500 of his appointees.

Last few hours (literally) of this campaign, though I imagine there'll be a Late Pledge option. www.kickstarter.com/projects/gre... Looks like a welcome update to M&M. Attributes, attack/defense bonuses, and many powers have been simplified, while many new Advantages were added as a focal point.

SUPER weird how private "conservative" online spaces always seem to turn into Nazi bars. 🤔

NEW: ProPublica is releasing a trove of disclosure records that detail the finances of more than 1,500 Trump appointees, including former lobbyists, industry executives and at least a dozen officials who declined to identify former clients.

It’s important to remember that billionaires are parasites with a vested interest in persuading you they are predators.

Less than five hours to go. See you soon!

Very happy birthday wishes to @nathanburgoine.bsky.social! Visit his site! Like his blogs! Buy his books! 🎂🍰🎉

That this kickstarter (a) funded entirely, with all stretch goals and (b) did so on my birthday, I shall take it as the gift it is. If you’ve still not checked out @greenroninpub.bsky.social's awesome superhero #TTRPG, #Mutants&Masterminds, you’ve got today to fix that! Trust the birthday man.

#GaySky, if I may say so, y'all are looking lovely tonight. 😘

Donald Trump is convinced you can do fucking ANYTHING in two weeks.

With less than 24 hours remaining, the Mutants & Masterminds fourth edition #TTRPG Kickstarter ends tomorrow! Join us LIVE at 12 pm Eastern on Thursday, one hour before the crowd-funder wraps, to celebrate the successful launch of the new edition and hear about what comes next!

I didn't hear a simple, under-oath "no" in there.

Hey, folks, can I both commit capitalism and get a bit personal for a moment? I wanna talk a bit about the upcoming Kickstarter for the fourth edition of Mutants & Masterminds. (I'm probably gonna be doing a LOT of this for the next five weeks, so now's your time to mute or unfollow me.)

My fellow Americans, I give you the party of "Support Our Troops"...

MAGA-GOP messaging: "So, to be clear, the Iran situation is due all of the deference and seriousness of a war, but is NOT a war, especially in any case where a war would be inconvenient or illegal. It will require sacrifices, which will be disclosed to you as they are required and/or occur. Got it?"

Spain's leader with a message that should be adopted by every top Democrat

losing a primary by FIFTY points because you backed ICE should tell everyone where the zeitgeist is right now

Not to get all political, but I believe military power belongs in the hands of people who respect the awesome responsibility of life-and-death decisions and don’t think things like restraint and rules of conduct are for suckers.

Have you seen Mutants & Masterminds 4th Edition Kickstarter? It’s one of our favorite superhero RPGs. We played an early playtest of the new rules on the channel, Episode 2 drops this week. Check it out: www.kickstarter.com/projects/gre... #MutantsAndMasterminds #TTRPG #SuperheroRPG #Kickstarter

This was my Heated Rivalry

Maybe having religious nutbags who want to trigger world wars in the Middle East to fulfill biblical prophecies in charge of one of the strongest militaries in the world was a bad idea

“The CIA is preparing the next generation of insurgents who will be able to turn their training and equipment against the imperialist Americans at the earliest opportunity.”

Over 400 scientists have signed a letter calling for a moratorium on the deployment of age-verification technologies. The letter suggests the widespread deployment of untested AV tech is making the internet less safe. www.politico.eu/article/age-...

So one thing we've learned this weekend is that if Bibi Netanyahu dropped a bomb off a bridge, Trump would have to as well.

If you like indie comics, this bundle is a hell of a deal. It includes 4 of our games too. All the publishers are still in court trying to get our product back from Diamond's warehouse as part of their bankruptcy mess.

REPORTER: Yesterday you told us Israel was going to strike Iran and that's why we needed to get involved. But today the president said Iran-- RUBIO: No. Were you there yesterday? REPORTER: Yes. I asked the question

trying out a new feature, lmk if it works

"Target's plan to win you back: selling affordable, trendy fashion and furnishings." NOPE. How about "We're extremely sorry we caved on all of our DEI initiatives, proving they were empty of any real values, but we will be restoring them all immediately"? For starters.

Per The Economist/YouGov, half of Americans support ABOLISHING ICE. Literally, "abolishing." yougov.com/en-us/articl...
