good night every body

This morning I had the girls listening to David Bowie on the way to school, and my youngest teared up listening to Space Oddity because he was trapped in space. In a world that sucks sometimes, they’re so goddamn wonderful.

Let’s hear more of the dangers of democratic socialism under Mamdani

Dem candidate in the TN07 specials(R+22) is airing TV ads as well. Tax cut for billionaires, Tariffs, healthcare costs, and Epstein all mentioned youtu.be/JjznC6xlYrE?...

The Trump administration’s military strikes on alleged drug boats are “blatantly unlawful as a matter of U.S. domestic law—and a quickly spreading stain on whatever is left of the executive branch’s commitment to the rule of law.” Me on “extrajudicial killings” in the latest issue of “One First”:

Shipmate, go see your Chief for some counseling.

Look at my nautical intellectuals dog, we’re going to get smoked in the next naval war.

imo the correct dem immigration position is engraved in stone on ellis island

Border Patrol agent Lairmore testifies that he was not injured by the sandwich, but he felt the impact through his ballistic vest. The sandwich came apart and "kind of exploded" on his chest upon impact, he says. "I could smell the onions and mustard."

"The video cut O'Donnell's final question: "So not concerned about the appearance of corruption with this?" "Also omitted was Trump's stammering reply: "I can't say, because — I can't say — I'm not concerned. I don't — I'd rather not have you ask the question." #Pinks

On the eve of an election too. Sue CBS

President Trump’s aides have promised transparency about the funding of a new ballroom, but the White House withheld the identities of several donors to the project, including some with business before the administration, The New York Times found.

It’s a sad day when a judge has to order the President of the United States to feed vulnerable families and hungry children with funds already designated for that very purpose.

I don't actually think JD Vance believes his wife is going to hell because I don't think he actually believes anything

This fucking asshole has no idea what district judges disagree on, and lacks the mental clarity to consider what individuals in his chosen profession “cannot agree on” such that this standard is circular and moronic. If anyone wants to sponsor a trip to NY I’d be happy to tell him in person

"...some of the officers are alleged to have accepted bribes in exchange for providing protection to undercover FBI agents posing as members of a Mexican drug cartel. On three occasions between 2023 and 2024, the officers escorted the undercover agents transporting cocaine..."

If ICE agents believe they have blanket immunity or that citizens have no right to record them, it’s up to the rest of us to disabuse them of that error. A free society depends on public oversight of government force, and on courts that uphold that freedom. @walterolson.bsky.social

I unfortunately recognize West Point instructors though.

NEW: Paul Newby, a born-again Christian, has turned his perch atop North Carolina’s Supreme Court into an instrument of political power. Over two decades, he’s driven changes that have reverberated well beyond the borders of his state. By @dougbockclark.bsky.social

Patel's girlfriend performed at Penn State last weekend. A government jet arrived at State College Regional Airport, according to its FAA registration, with an address listing the FBI HQ. The plane then flew to Nashville, where his girlfriend lives. All on the taxpayer’s dime. trib.al/TBvPo7A

They project this will cost $75M up front and $30M a year and I'm guessing if you just gave the majority of these folks $57,000 and then a $23,000 basic income and let them live a life, they'd do just fine. And that's assuming they stay in budget. But helping people ain't our thing, punishment is.

So did hurricane melissa turn out alright or is there just no news on the timeline because we don’t have any good info out of Jamaica yet ?

Platner’s actions are an embarrassment to our state on the national stage. He has no qualification whatsoever to run for this seat and a US Senate race is not the place to grow up.

lol “like a prayer” again? Didn’t we just cover what the song is actually about?

Venice Bakery is remembering those that have died in ICE custody this year by adding them to their community altar for Dia de Los Muertos. By @eltragon.bsky.social

Got a real circular firing squad situation here.

I want more people to care that SNAP benefits are being cut off on November 1. 40% of SNAP beneficiaries are children. This is callous and vile.

We have public servants who are working and not getting paid, and politicians in Washington who are getting paid, but not working. President Trump can and must end this shutdown.

If you have recipes that are easy to mass prep (aka can be done in small steps so people can rest or sitting down) wraps/meals that freeze well, please share them here I have 4 or 5 and I'll try to have them posted before Friday.

“It is important to demonstrate that authoritarian gains are not permanent. That liberal society has the will to undo their grotesqueries. Demolishing the Trump ballroom and restoring the East Wing will be symbolic. But symbolism matters to authoritarians.” www.thebulwark.com/p/we-will-te...

WOW... JUST WOW... In order to justify invoking the insurrection act in Portland, Oregon, trump faked a riot with professional videographers, the military and hired extras. Sen. Jeffrey Merkley tells us what happened :

*drinks a 3rd gin* Actually the Bourne movies are an excellent encapsulation of the post-9/11 years, especially when you swap in Bin Ladens name for Jason Bourne

And San Diego PD did the same.

This is actually fucking amazing. Great fucking work

Purdue to the rescue of IU student newspaper, whose institution was attempting censorship. Details in alt!

This is what democracy looks like. #NoKings

Great moments in redaction history.

thinking about the guy running the us govt bluesky accounts. thats his friday, trying to troll people on a relatively niche social media site because they won twitter and it made them miserable. catastrophic loser energy
