Excited to inform you all that the Department of Homeland Security is currently attempting to ratio me (and failing, as of more than two hours later). With a heavy sigh, I repeat: bring back professionalism. For the love of god. You're running comms for the government of the USA. Act like it.

Thank you for the Parks & Rec reference, which once again reminded me of my favorite moment in West Virginia legislative history.

'Political Opposition is not Rebellion' Today's @chicago.suntimes.com front page story on Thursday's ruling from the federal appeals court in Chicago. National Guard deployment still blocked in Illinois: chicago.suntimes.com/donald-trump...

“Everybody knows what’s going on here. There is a bloodthirsty killer prowling the Caribbean looking for wars. They are fabricating a war. The emperor is naked. Stop pretending this is complicated.” VENEZUELA’s ambassador to the UN on Trump 💣 boats and announcing CIA ops

“Isn’t there supposed to be a wall between the president and his business?” Eric asked about the prez of Indonesia asking daddy to meet him in that hot mic moment, dismissing it as the family has business there🤔 Endless Trump corruption. And all the Hunter hunters are silent.

Lost track of how many times I suggested Dem campaigns put a standup on the debate prep team. They’ll suggest better zingers and they actually understand stage presence — both in the room and on camera!

I dont think enough Americans realize Republicans are gearing up for permanent rule. I dont know if we will get to midterm elections. Even if we do, with gerrymandering, the gutting of the Voting Rights Act, and violent intimidation, they'll rig the elections for minority rule. All hands on deck.

TO ALL FEDERAL WORKERS: If you were illegally fired and have information of wrongdoing or abuse of power by the Trump Administration, the Oversight Committee Democratic whistleblower tip line is open. All whistleblowers are federally protected. oversightdemocrats.house.gov/contact/tip-...

🔥ZOHRAN: “What I don't have in experience, I make up for in integrity. And what Andrew Cuomo lacks in integrity, he could never make up for with experience.”

Good point, except now it is *$40 billion* of our money Trump is planning to flush down the toilet in Argentina to help his pal Milei get re-elected Any MAGA who does not clearly call BS on this is an ideological fraud

*immediately runs to @clairewillett.bsky.social 's page to see what she has to say about this*

“Join the rest of us and fight like hell for this country!”

Swearing in isn’t some ceremony. You aren’t a member of Congress until it happens. He knows that. No phones, no staff, nothing. I had to escort her into the Capitol on Wed bc Capitol police must treat her as a public visitor until she’s sworn in. And solo visitors aren’t allowed during shutdown!

Democratic leaders, it's time to endorse Mamdani.

Credit where it's due: Kudos to the Kansas GOP for dissolving the Young Knuckleheads entirely.

Big news here: the White House has backed down from shutting down I-5 this weekend following our reporting last night.

#BREAKING The 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals refuses to undo an order blocking deployment of National Guard troops within Illinois. "We conclude that the district court's factual findings … were not clearly erroneous, and that the facts do not justify the President's actions in Illinois."

CHICAGO (AP) — Judge says she will require immigration agents in Chicago area to wear body cameras after turbulent protests.

Johnson: That is not the principles of the Republican Party. You want me to articulate them? We fought the Nazis, we defended that evil ideology.

The Freudian slips are really something to watch, from Ted Cruz saying we should stop attacking pedophiles to Mike Johnson stating the Republican Party defended Nazis. It’s almost as if they’re carrying so many lies that they’re about to burst, and their subconscious is leaking before the eruption 🌋

Federal judge in Chicago demands testimony on whether ICE immediately violated her order 🔽

WHOOPSY! Looks like nobody told @RepTimBurchett his talking points don’t work anymore 😬 @GavinNewsom’s @GovPressOffice with a FACT-CHECK: CA’s population has been growing, not shrinking

A single student crossed the street and walked thru the group of far right extremists waving this sign

A group of far right assholes have showed up to protest at David Douglas high school after students allegedly pushed back at a formation of a turning point chapter. School is out & they are outnumbered by predominantly Black & Brown students roasting the fuck out of them.

“Arizona is considering suing for taxation without representation if you don’t seat Adelita Grijalva.” Speaker Johnson: *continues to cover for Pesophiles*

Here are the little “kiddos” in JD’s Hitler Fanatic Club:

Trump has pushed GOP-led states to redraw maps and add more Republican seats—tilting Congress away from the country we actually are. America is more balanced than that & our representation must respect that Prop 50 is how Californians can defend a fair, representative democracy. Vote #YesOnProp50

Mike Johnson has now had the House adjourned for 73 out of the last 85 days. Epstein Shutdown.

I'm old enough to remember when conservatives made hyped-up accusations the IRS was being politicized and denounced that.

An emotional minute as the word Democracy melts away in front of the US Capitol Building.

FOX: You said last week that you would swear in Grijalva whenever she wants. She has written a letter to your office. You have not sworn her in. Doesn't your resistance add fuel to the fire that this is about Epstein? MIKE JOHNSON: No. This is another partisan manufactured thing

If Chump's Not Stealing OUR Taxes OR Giving It To A Foreign Country, He's Wasting It On HIS and RepubliKKKans Shutdown......

MAGAts would rather be tough than correct. Figgers. www.alternet.org/why-do-peopl...

If State Farm is truly interested in being a good neighbor, it should be transparent and let the numbers speak for themselves. Other insurance companies work with us on this, but State Farm has refused. Without the data, homeowners have no assurance.

"Kids" whose lives "shouldn't be ruined" because of some "offensive jokes" online. Over 21? Not kids. Unlike 14 year-olds you advocate prosecuting as adults. Don't ruin THEIR lives over vile "jokes." But destroy anyone who hurt your feelings by saying Charlie Kirk was a racist. Which he was.

Gotta love a MAGAt with no argument. Really, folks, if *pictures* meant something, ol' Humpty Drumpfy would be long gone. And if you thought Joe had a mental problem and Drumpfy doesn't, your mental issue is worse than both.

It's scary, all right. Particularly for a Log Cabin Republican like Mikey, lost in a large closet.

"I've not seen them cross the line yet."

“Swear her in! Swear her in!” #TrumpEpsteinCoverup

I laughed way too hard at this 🤣🤣🤣

I wonder if Trump knows that the person who brings peace to the middle east, biblically, is essentially the anti-Christ?

It’s amazing how all the reporting is just memory-holing this part

Trump's "peace" already broken...

Seems the Narcissist-in-Chief is mad about the Time Mag cover neckgina pic so please don’t share it widely Thank you for your attention to this matter

🤔seems when you’re the richest man in the world you can drill holes wherever you want in @GovBillLee’s Tennessee “While the location isn’t in line with the Tesla tunnel map… Musk’s company expressed interest in expanding to other parts of Nashville…” www.tennessean.com/story/money/...

Today, Mike Johnson will continue to keep the House adjourned for the 71st day out of the last 83, with Republicans refusing to show up to work again to avoid having to vote on the Epstein files or negotiate with Democrats. Epstein Shutdown
