"Let me teach you how little girls are supposed to be."

A beautiful tribute to Kristi Noem.

It wasn't a question, Donald. And you're stupid for thinking it was. You are also a traitor to our troops for ignoring the statement and not investigating if it is true.

🎯🎯

The Trump regime is still hiding Epstein records detailing an allegation that Trump sexually assaulted a girl who was age 13-15. We know these records existed at some point. The law requires their release.

Quite the headline from People.com people.com/trump-says-i...

A remarkably EVIL coalition.

This is how the Trump admin thanks Ukraine for their agreement to help us with Shahed drone interceptors.

In a new TIME interview, Trump casually acknowledged Americans could face retaliatory attacks at home due to his escalating war with Iran. “I guess,” he said when asked about the risk, adding: “When you go to war, some people will die.” time.com/7382697/trum...

🚨ATTENTION VIRGINIA VOTERS Earlier this week, a court ruled that Democratic lawmakers’ special election, which would allow voters to decide on mid-decade redistricting to counter GOP gerrymandering, can proceed. Know a Virginia resident? Let them know they can begin voting TOMORROW.

Sri Lanka's Navy is taking to its port the Iranian ship Bushehr and its 208 crew for protection after the US torpedoed another Iranian ship off Sri Lanka. SL Navy recovered 80+ bodies and dozens of survivors from that ship while dozens more are missing. Both were there for exercises with India.

Kristi Noem has been fired. Good riddance. But let’s be clear: one personnel change does not fix a broken system. Until this out-of-control agency is held accountable, I will not vote to give it another dollar.

I’ve been asked if I would support Sen. Mullin as Noem’s replacement. The answer is a resounding NO. The rot in DHS is deep, much deeper than any individual. It’s a question of policy not personnel. The Senate should not consider any DHS Secretary nominee until DHS and ICE are reined in.

Jeffries calls Kristi Noem "a living breathing article of impeachment"

This is the man who is now in charge of US Homeland Security.

“You’re a U.S. senator!” Bernie stops Noem’s replacement from literally trying to fight someone👇🏽 This should go great

Correction. Orwell never said this. He did however, warn that: "political language... is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind.” (That's Politics and the English Language, one of my favorite essays)

Well said😂💯👏👏👏👏👏👏

Very strong statement from the First Lady of Iraq:

I know that the people who need to read this aren’t here, but here goes: Rules of engagement aren’t for the enemy. They’re for you. They’re for your soldiers when they’re captured or wounded. They’re for your civilians when they’re in range of the enemy. They’re for your allies, to reassure.

Somebody is totally smitten

Imagine if Democrats had done this to a veteran....24/7 news and outrage on right-wing channels.

🚨 MAJOR: Sen. Chris Van Hollen just delivered a blistering response to Trump’s war in Iran “Netanyahu said the other day that he's been waiting 40 years… to get to this point… It took him 40 years to find an American president who is STUPID enough to drag America into this war.” #BlueCrew

A majority of ​the U.S. Senate ‌backed Pres Trump's military ​campaign against Iran, ​voting to block a ⁠bipartisan resolution ​aiming to stop ​the air war & require that any ​hostilities against ​Iran be authorized by Congress. The tally was ​52-47 ⁠not to advance the war ​powers resolution. 👇

Tim Walz: There are no Somalis in the Epstein files.

Excellent headline from CNN, for a change

The White House has helped MAGA influencers escape the Middle East on a private jet while more than a million ordinary Americans are still trapped with no way out.

Contrary to some reporting, Talarico released a statement calling for extension of voting hours in Dallas & Williamson Counties about 30 minutes after Crocket released a statement & one hour before the slated 7pm closing. @plaintanjane.bsky.social

JUST IN: North Carolina's Dem lawmaker Carla Cunningham gave the GOP the decisive vote to pass a law forcing police to comply with ICE. She said "all cultures are not equal." She just lost reelection BIG in the Dem primary to a progressive pastor & activist, Rodney Sadler. 70% to 22%! Context:

www.bbc.com/news/article... The orange toddler is throwing another temper tantrum.

Trump is lying. I serve on the Intel & Armed Services Committees. There’s no intelligence that Iran posed an imminent threat to the U.S. or the American people.

Tillis to Noem: "A 14 month old dog is basically a teenager in dog years. You decided to kill that dog bc you hadn't invested the appropriate training, then you have the audacity to write a book & say it's a leadership lesson! ... Those are bad decisions not unlike what happened in Minneapolis"

Former Middle East adviser at the US Department of Defense, Jasmine El-Gamal, has it exactly right.

So billions will be spent and lives will be lost for nothing?

There you have it. "This is President Trump's War." Own it all, Republicans.

This is actually a pretty good summary of where we’re at, and how we got here.

This statement by Marco Rubio is a thing of beauty. No notes. It can be taken exactly as is and dropped into Orwell's 1984. I believe the correct Homeric adjective for military reasoning like this is "Hell-kissed." Get thee to the Smithsonian, war crime-speak.

Even Matt Walsh isn’t buying it

Nailed it

Trump may have ordered a deadly military strike on a girls’ elementary school in Iran because the Pentagon was using an out-of-date map. At least 175 people, including dozens of young girls between seven and 12, were killed Saturday in an attack on a southern town miles from Tehran. trib.al/1BhX9NO

They went to the boss.

OMFG they think we are the dumbest people who ever lived.

????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

Chris Murphy: "It's just so disgusting to listen to the president be waxing poetically about the drapes he's buying while there are six Americans who are dead. There are six families who are about to bury their children because of a war of choice that no one in this country wanted, an illegal war."

Go @hillaryclinton.bsky.social. Absolutely 💯 percent correct.

Every time the president of the United States announced he has been exonerated by the Epstein files, he should be asked what crime has he been exonerated? Make him say it. Make him say it out loud.

He blandly reads off a teleprompter to talk about the four dead servicemembers. He excitedly goes off script to brag about his stupid ballroom.

Is this, too, from shaking lots of hands?
