if this voter suppression bill becomes law, can every legislator signing off be charged with accessory after the fact. hindering prosecution? at sometime these assaults on equal protections, the rule of law, has to have consequences.

CARTOON OF THE DAY (From slyngstad )

Republicans release AI deepfake of James Talarico as phony videos proliferate in midterm races.

Search-and-rescue crews were “flying blind” trying to rescue survivors from deadly tornadoes that hit the Midwest last week. Why? Because Kristi Noem hadn't approved FEMA’s $200,000 contract with a tornado-tracking tool. But she had time to spend $220 million on anti-immigrant ads. Priorities.

Love this for Nancy Mace. 🍿

Johnson: I think what we are learning from the Epstein files was a well-coordinated act of treason. If you think about how they use blackmail to get policymakers to act outside of the best interests of this nation and our Constitution, that’s treason.

I’m hollering at my screen… yaaas! Actress Sheryl Underwood, an Air Force Reserve veteran, is asking the questions we all want answers to. “Why is this not impeachable? And where are the politicians that say, ‘this dude don’t have it all the way together, he cannot be the commander in chief?’” 🔥

Rep. Bresnahan April 2025: I meet with my financial advisor. We talk about, you know, what different positions are coming up. June 2025: The trades that are being executed on my behalf, I do not have any dialogues with my financial advisors.

This is an excellent summary from Aaron, but you could argue that EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin is Trump’s most disastrous-and dangerous-cabinet member He thinks climate change is a “hoax” and has taken steps to let automobile manufacturers literally poison us by repealing the endangerment finding

The response when progressive policies that help millions of people are proposed... "How will you pay for it?" The response when the richest 1% ask for tax cuts, or banks ask for bailouts, or defense contractors ask for more contracts... "How much do you need?" It doesn't have to be this way.

Today the United States wasted another #1B on an illegal war in Iran, money that could have been spent on funding health care or providing SNAP benefits or cancer research or academic scholarships for minorities. I could go on and on but I think you get my point. #endtheiranwarnow

AOC: The Pentagon has not passed an audit, and they are out here trying to kick people with disabilities off of Medicaid. It is corruption that is stealing from the public coffers — and that is the actual waste, fraud, and abuse.

Well, this aged exactly how I was afraid it would

Brilliant 🏆 Isata Kanneh-Mason absolutely tears through Rachmaninoff’s fiendish Piano Concerto No. 3 with the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra.

Chris Murphy is spot on.

This is what all big companies should be doing.

Um, Fort Campbell middle school would like a word. We have many schools on bases, and Bolton knows it. More ghoulish nonsense from war Hawks to justify the murder of little girls.

Has this ever happened to you?

Breaking🚨 Newly released videos of the DHS murder of Ruben Ray Martinez show the agent who they claim he ran over arresting Orta and walking without any visible injury or limp. Ruben Ray Martinez just turned 23 when Trump's Homeland Security thug, Jack Stevens, shot & killed him on March 15, 2025.

There are a lot of posts out there with the close-up visual of Markwayne Mullin on January 6, but this is a better perspective. He’s not protecting others; he’s protecting himself and hiding. You can see plenty of people at the entry door, ready to take on the insurrectionists, but not Markwayne.

That's the whole problem. No one in Washington is willing to take necessary risks these days.

Great news!

I get yelled at for saying this but for many hundreds of years people went to university not to get diplomas or be employable but because immersion in the humanities was considered foundational to a good life, and school must return to its original purpose: the joy of learning.

For those who have forgotten the past 40 years: Tax cuts for the rich ...don’t trickle down Boosting military spending ...doesn’t bring peace Slashing regulations ...doesn’t create jobs Folks, we’ve seen this all before.

Beshear: We are building affordable housing in rural America. It looks like the average utility bill for each of those houses is going to be about $50 a month because we’re using solar panels. We’re embracing different parts of green energy in Appalachia.

Kristin Noem perjured herself when she said Corey Lewandowski played no role in approving DHS contracts. She needs to be prosecuted for lying under oath. Why are these liars allowed to go scot-free? What kind of kangaroo government do we have? www.propublica.org/article/kris...

Like clockwork.

Emmanuel Damas, another individual killed in ICE custody. He had a toothache. They ignored it. He died of spesis. Read that again. Why do we need to fund this murderous agency? www.washingtonpost.com/national/202...

the snafoos at the polling stations, were people still supposed to ask for a ‘provisional ballot’? and we been knowing about malfeasance at polling places at least since abrams 2018. gil scott heron referenced it in 1974. ‘if the election was sabotaged by trickery n greed’…

people don’t want to fathom that when jim crow had both feet on the necks of people. people were telling the nation, equal protections supposed to apply to all and for all. we’ve had over 100yrs to be each other’s keeper. i am a man, i am an american.

Americans stranded in the Middle East say the State Department hotline Marco Rubio told them to call plays a recorded message warning: “Please do not rely on the U.S. government for assisted departure or evacuation at this time.”

“Imminent.” You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

What if someone comes and abducts your family members? It could happen. There are untrained & unidentified thugs abducting, threatening & brutalizing immigrants as well as US citizens. Couldn't anyone pretend to be an ice agent & kidnap people. Yes! (See thread🧵) Call Congress at 202-224-3121!

Schumer: “Today every senator — every single one — will pick a side. Do you stand with the American people who are exhausted with forever wars in the Middle East or stand with Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth as they bumble us headfirst into another war?”

The promise of a beer and ballgame in the near future is doing a lot of emotional heavy lifting these days.

NOEM: Our federal detention centers are held to the highest standards in comparison to other detaining facilities McBATH: Did you just hear me? He has to crawl through mold and feces and bodily fluids just to take a shower. This is absolute lunacy and you know it.

Walz to Nancy Mace: "Minnesota ranks at the top. Where do South Carolina children rank on healthiness? I'm not here to be your prop."

WALZ: What a 'stop payment' meant by what the administration did last week is 400,000 children without healthcare COMER: We believe that's your fault WALZ: Our Medicaid error rate is lower than your state

WATCH — @senpeterwelch walks through a no-bid $143,000,000 contract that went to @KristiNoem’s spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlin’s husband’s company that had just been formed. She should be impeached for this outrageous scandal alone. Yet it’s barely a blip in this corrupt regime.
