Why the hell do airlines even bother with letting people select seats when they inevitably change the assignment two hours before he flight anyway?

“Eight, sir; seven, sir; Six, sir; five, sir; Four, sir; Three, sir; Two, sir; one! Eighty-six! Forty-seven! Tenser, said the Tensor. Tenser, said the Tensor. Tension, apprehension, And dissension have begun.” ― Apologies to Alfred Bester

📌Barack Obama was targeted 11 times in assassination attempts during this two terms. I bet you don't remember any of them because they were handled through proper channels, professionally, and he isn't a whiny bitch.

Trump is about to hit REM on camera during an Oval Office event. It's just incredible.

In Trump DHS, you can apparently hop from "FEMA Policy Analyst, Region 2" directly to Deputy Assistant Secretary in charge of counterterrorism. www.thedailybeast.com/top-donald-t...

Looks about right.

Let's all use this occasion to take a look at the many ways Tennessee Republicans have shown how much they value and respect the Traditional Nuclear Family™

JD Vance is what would happen if Dunning and Kruger had a baby, and then dropped it on its head. and yet, he has the utter gall to tell THE POPE to shut his mouth about theology. I mock the shit out of all of this in today's post. thank you for your attention. link is here: bit.ly/4dPzNAO

a granny forced to work a crappy job to pay for medical bills visited Donny yesterday, and everyone missed the bigger picture: NO ONE SHOULD BE BANKRUPTED BY MEDICAL DEBT, but Donny won't do shit to fix the problem. thank you for your attention to my angry post about it. link is here: bit.ly/4cqR1SE

DC panel has (again) BLOCKED Judge Boasberg from investigating possible criminal contempt by DOJ and DHS officials, including Judge Bove, in connection with sending Venezuelans to CECOT against his order. (I can't access full ruling yet.) Panel: Judges Rao (Trump) Walker (Trump) & Childs (Obama)

Breaking: Trump promises mass pardons to all of his staff before he leaves office. He says everyone who came within “200 feet of the Oval Office” will be fully pardoned for any crimes committed. 🔗: www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

Joe Kernen comes close to having a coronary on air as Pete Buttigieg dogwalks him all over the Squawk Box studio about Trump's economic mismanagement and inflation

Pete Buttigieg: “Inflation has tripled from just one month ago, and it’s higher than when he took office. Not only has Trump failed to deliver on his central campaign promise to make life more affordable — he is actively, directly driving prices up.”

Today's a good day to call your Representative's office and demand they cosponsor Rep. John B. Larson's Articles of Impeachment. Or at least vote in favor of impeachment when the Articles come up.

Today's another good day to call your Representative and ask them to cosponsor Rep. John B. Larson's Articles of Impeachment. Especially if you're in AZ01. "Sleepy Dave" Schweikert's office numbers are 202-225-2190 for his DC office or 480-946-2411 for his Scottsdale office.

The two days that JD Vance spent in Hungary desperately trying to shore up support for Putin’s lapdog Viktor Orbán reminded me of what a pathetic, loathsome, lying, traitorous scumbag he is.

Study finds strong belief in disinformation linked to approval of Donald Trump “Approval of Donald Trump among the most disinformed is literally 70 times higher than among the most informed.”

This Rick Scott??

I love this lady" The "reporter" was asking her these loaded racist question and she handle it perfectly. He really wants Black people protesting. 👏 Good for you lady. 92%

This story is insane. Married an American, arrested at her greencard interview, flown out of state, nearly killed multiple times when her diabetes was ignored and then mistreated. When she finally got out? Found out her credit card had been used illegally. www.daylightsandiego.org/san-diego-wo...

ICE assaults 10th grader U.S. Citizen, hospitalized him, stole his phone, and sold it

Saying The Quiet Part Out Loud Dept.-Kinda sounds like he's admitting he interfered in the election with VERY specific statistics. I quit Twitter because he bought it, way before his confession he stole the election for the Orange Atrocity. 🍊💩 Now I'm SURE I made the right decision! 👍

ICE agents have been deployed at major airports across the U.S. as the shortage of TSA officers during the partial government shutdown continues to cause long security lines. NBC News' Jesse Kirsch reports on what the ICE agents are doing at the airports.

Atlanta Airport… looks like ICE wandering around aimlessly has solved everything… 🇺🇸

Yes!

The Pentagon is currently run by Pete Hegseth, who was escorted out of his National Guard unit in 2021 after being deemed an "insider threat." He reports to Donald Trump, who dodged the draft five times, once by lying about his medical condition. Only the best people run our military!

Trump is raging again, blaming Democrats for his failures and threatening to unleash ICE at airports. This is how a tyrant talks: threats first, facts never. Travel already requires ID and strict security checks. What he wants is fear and submission.

we're supposed to believe the Trump administration has spent more than a year doing a mass deportation of the worst of the worst criminals, but also there are sleeper cells of undocumented Iranians in the country that constitute a grave national security threat. the math ain't mathing.

Pam Bondi REALLY tried us. Didn’t work.

FROST: We asked Pam Bondi multiple times, are you going to come and speak with us under oath? She would not say yes. We want her under oath because we do not trust her. Why don't we trust her? Because she's a liar.

Jerome Powell confirmed today that the causes of inflation and net zero job growth are Trump’s immigration policy, Trump’s tariffs, and Trump’s war in Iran.

WARNER: You omitted a paragraph about Midnight Hammer 'obliterating' Iran's nuclear capability that's in your written report from your oral opening GABBARD: I recognized the time was running long WARNER: So you chose to omit the parts that contradicts the president

If we could charge five cents for every American walk up and smack that grin off his face, we would eliminate the debt

Wow. Please send him out on the campaign trail to explain to American consumers why they are the "last" of this administration's concerns.

Today is the one year anniversary of DOGE's raid on the US Institute of Peace. DC Metropolitan police literally broke open doors at the institute's privately-owned building to let Trump officials bully their way in. Read about my lawsuit to retrieve the body camera footage, and what it revealed:

Trump: "The President of the United States Gavin Newscum admitted that he has learning disabilities." Yes, he actually called Gavin Newsom the "President of the United States" while trying to insult his cognition.

It must be nice to be allowed this kind of medical care and breast cancer support as thousands of women are dying quietly at home, unable to afford their health insurance or the treatments that could save them…

now fetterman is calling the nyt fake news for not jingoistically supporting all the administration’s blusterings about how well the war is going. he just keeps digging beneath the bar.
