A delightful read. Do something simple to brighten someone's day today.

So I guess for MAGA when a Chinese balloon goes over US airspace it’s a week straight of apoplectic comments that WW3 is starting because Biden is weak, but when Trump allows the Qataris to have an airbase in the US and fly fighter jets over our country that is America First.

When/if we ever do have a vote in the House on releasing Epstein files, it will get more than 218 votes. Probably many more. That’s because Republican cowards are happy to hide behind Mike Johnson’s obstruction now, but when it comes time to vote many won’t dare vote no.

Let's make this a reality, again.

And yet, they try to pass the buck, anyway. Reminder: they could end the shutdown if they don't filibuster. They want the filibuster so some Dems would have to vote yes and then "own" some of the responsibility for the Bombastically Bad Bill.

What the generals, admirals and their senior enlisted face when they return from Quantico. My latest in @thebulwark.com www.thebulwark.com/p/questions-...

Also: when a government acts brutally and lawlessly and immorally, but tells you that pointing those things out incites violence and terrorism, that government and its agents are entitled to no respect or credence.

I know I don't see everything out there in SocialMediaLand, but I have yet to see any "celebration" of Kirk's killing. Either the occurrences are rare (and they're blowing them out of proportion) or they're seeing anything other than Kirk-worship as "celebration" of his death. 1/2

Excuse me, but... WHAT THE ACTUAL F*CK?!

I agree. While I don't believe anyone should be shot to death, holding up the likes of CK as a "truly Great American Patriot" is BS. Why half staff for him, but not for school shootings, 60+ people who died in a plane crash, or MN lawmakers? I'm sorry he died but Kirk was trash, not a martyr.

Marjorie Taylor Greene doesn’t want you to know her opponent’s name. That’s how desperate she is to keep her seat. I’m Shawn Harris. I am a Democrat, husband, father, Retired Brigadier General, and farmer. I’m running against her. Share my name.

One photo says SO MUCH.

This.

No, friends, this isn't an SNL skit, although Kate McKinnon could take on one of these roles in a hot minute. This is your new State Library Board. What in the HeeHaw was SHS thinking? (I already know.)

This. Suppressing this information and telling endless lies doesn't exactly smack of innocence.

Nah, this was my X account. Not so much here.

Jeffrey Epstein’s ghost is NEVER going to stop haunting Trump.

Prediction: Blytheville's gonna end up with AI courses (because "AI tools") and Prager U curriculum.

Living dead wanted. Inhumanity a plus.

Good description. 😆

This is one of the best follows I can recommend, and this thread is *chef's kiss*

Enough is enough! Republicans have been rigging redistricting for decades. It's time for blue states to give them a taste of their own medicine. #MessWithTexas

I know I’m talking about farming again, but y’all….it’s all about food. #hallieshoffner #tomcotton #ussenate #arkansas

thank you for your business

Update: I offered the amendment. Not to refuse acceptance of the Qatari jet; just to prohibit Trump from taking it with him when he leaves office - after the taxpayers spend $1 billion to retrofit it. Failed 14-15. Every single Republican voted to allow Trump to take the jet.

Ha! Yes. Trump is definitely a pedophile.

Welp... He should fully cooperate, but considering how unhinged he is, I bet he screams about it. Whether he's guilty of this or not, Ryan Walters is scum and needs to be replaced as head of education for Oklahoma. www.oklahoman.com/story/news/e...

I need a Chicago-style hot dog in a bad way. /small town regrets

FEMA is preparing to send $608 million to states to construct immigrant detention centers as part of the Trump administration’s push to expand capacity to hold migrants.

House Republicans are loading the Fiscal Year 2026 appropriation bills with anti-LGBTQI+ provisions. So far, they've included 32+ anti-LGBTQI+ provisions in the 11 bills they’ve released so far. Republicans need to abandon these efforts & support a BIPARTISAN funding process.

I'm pretty sure tying up people trying to verify they're eligible and then kicking them off coverage, anyway, is a feature, not a bug. Me, today: celebrate *what*, exactly?

It's fun when they eat each other.

Especially if it involves the likes of grifters like Mike Huckabee.

Every flashbang could instead be a meal for a poor kid. Every hotel room for a National Guardsman deployed to fire at our neighbors could house a homeless vet. Every "less-than-lethal" bullet pulled from a journalist's eye could be already needed healthcare for anyone else. All of this is a choice.

But "make those worthless slobs work!" sounds great to the base. Well, until half the base lose their medicaid.

I'm just glad one of these men has the nuclear codes and the other has all our personal data.

Also blame your local Republican-majority legislatures who have gerrymandered districts to create the results they want. With super majorities, they have free reign to pass laws to keep themselves in power. #ARpx #ARbluedots

Best video I've seen today.

News to me: Mean Girl Extraordinaire and former chief insulter and snide director of incompetence under SHS, Alexa Henning, is now chief of staff to Tulsi Gabbard. Huh. Peter Principle at work? #ARpx #ARBlueDots

Brought to you by the party who called Kamala Harris' intelligence into question. He's proud he remembered the word "groceries" and the rest is mental filler to help him remember what he was going to say.

Seems legit!

This is the most passive-aggressive, GREATEST thing I've seen so far this week. 😍

We rural folks will feel the pinch first. Unfortunately, my rural county voted for this garbage, like most of Arkansas. They were convinced to vote against their own best self-interests.

So... you can just buy them, pass 'em out like a hooker card on a Vegas Strip sidewalk, and we're not gonna ask any questions? These people are so unserious.

And any of them would be a better suggestion than Pete.

Isn't it really Fox & Friends & Family Plan?

🚨A U.S. born citizen was arrested in Florida for entering the state as an “unauthorized alien.” His mother and a community advocate showed his birth certificate during a hearing in Leon County. The judge said she had no authority to release him.
