Sen. Mark Kelly: “I’ve had a missile blow up next to my airplane. I’ve been nearly shot down multiple times. I’ve flown a rocket ship into space four times, built by the lowest bidder. I’m not going to be silenced by Donald Trump.”

In a world of tRumps, Be a Kelly.

DON’T GIVE UP THE EFFIN SHIP.

This is the stupidest so-called “Peace Plan” in almost a century. And shame on the EU for going along! If anything, it’s the party for the reincarnation of Neville-effing Chamberlain!

This isn’t going to end well…

Kelly: "I never expected after serving 25 years in the Navy flying combat missions over Iraq and Kuwait, flying the Space Shuttle, that now I've got to worry about my personal safety and that of my wife, Gabby Giffords, who was already nearly assassinated, because of something the president said."

Do you really think a Department of Justice that lies to judges about grand jury indictments is going to be open and honest about the Epstein Files?

"The only thing we have to fear is fear itself." – FDR "Ask not what your country can do for you—ask what you can do for your country" – JFK “When one of us falters, we all falter. When one of us rises, we all rise.” – Barack Obama "Quiet, piggy!" – Trump

Hey Clay Higgins: STFU piggy 🐷

Jamal Khashoggi. Say his name.

Yeah…and didn’t he also promise us our own cache of magic beans??

Odd that the DoJ is opening an investigation into the Epstein files since they said in July that there was no client list and nothing to release.

Karoline Leavitt does almost daily press briefings. There should be equal and opposite briefings from Democrat spokespeople to counter her lies. God knows there would be plenty of material to counter.

William Balfour Ker, a Canadian artist of Scottish extraction, illustrates well the situation that is coming back around. From The Depths, 1905.

@democrats.senate.gov Anyone want to give it a shot?

For the record

Absolutely.

I see that the United States' peculiar brand of Christian Nationalism includes judging the poor for needing SNAP benefits (judging is something Jesus said *not to* do) but not helping the poor with SNAP benefits (helping the poor is something Jesus told them *to* do).

Weird.

When the president is destroying national landmarks, murdering fishermen, raising prices because he's angry over a Reagan video, and kidnapping parents in front of their crying children is probably not an ideal time to have a lazy, completely incompetent legislative branch perpetually on vacation.

…

Leavitt: "At this moment in time, of course, the ballroom is really the president's main priority."

Absolutely.

So much for promising that existing East Wing wouldn’t be touched. So where was Congress to give approval? I’m being sarcastic on that one.

Imagine being the largest newspaper in Washington, DC with the motto "Democracy Dies in Darkness" and thinking to publish this today. You might think WaPo editors would look out the window and realize something more important is happening. But perhaps democracy already died over there.

Hark, Speaker Mike Johnson! Looking at all the many, many pics of the enormous, joyous “No Kings” rallies throughout the United States today, I am struck by what lovely weather your Lord and Savior provided. Apparently, God is a fan of, as you claimed, "America-hating Antifa terrorists." Glory!

Constitution Corner, US Military Academy, West Point, NY:

Is it just me or does it seem like the orange Jabba would invoke the Insurrection Act not to deal with a supposed “war torn” city like Portland, but rather to keep certain files away from the light of day? Inquiring minds want to know…

"Fuck ICE" is a patriotic sentiment. Perhaps the most patriotic in this moment.

Bout right…

@levostregc.bsky.social doth thou remember “The Carterbury Tales” in the now defunct MAD Magazine?

RIP, Dame Patricia Routledge.

Invoking Ozzy…

Raskin: "It's not lost on anyone that shutting the government down allows them not swear in our new colleague, Ms Grijalva from Arizona, who would be the 218th signature to discharge the Epstein files and to put a vote on that on the House floor."

@michaelsteele.bsky.social you’re absolutely correct regarding the Rubicon. They are demolishing it! Thankfully, the actual Rubicon, over the millennia, dried up, and it’s unknown now where it actually flowed. But hey, go ahead MAGA, and just MAGA yourselves where the historians will condemn you.

Something is a wee bit off…oh yeah, the tinyyy hands!
