Marjorie Taylor Greene: "I sent those deaths threats directly to him in a text message & informed him of what his name calling & words were doing - it was a direct assassination threat on my son. And he was extremely - I won't repeat what he said - but it was extremely unkind. No sympathy. No care"

Rand Paul: "This is an insane policy. It's inconsistent. It's not war. It's not the way we've ever done this. If we can blow up a boat in the ocean, what about when they get to Miami & put it in a truck? Can you shoot a grenade launcher at the truck? No! We arrest people b/c sometimes we're wrong."

oh yeah.

When away for months filming on location I always take the pups with me so they can be on set or in my trailer. When gone less than a week on promo-junkets they stay home w/ family members so they're not alone in a hotel room all day. How can I not to miss Mabel, Trixie (a/k/a Bat-Mite) & Millie?!❤️

Duckworth: "It is a war crime. It's illegal. No matter how you put it, it's all illegal. I've been shot down behind enemy lines. Under the laws of war, you are supposed to help render aid to that individual ... you're not allowed to go back in and kill them."

How to buy yourself a needy malignant narcissist? Just offer him a phony, made up "Peace Prize" & he's all your's!!! No need for a formal ceremony as he'll snatch from the box & put it on all by himself. Both laughably pathetic AND pathetically laughable. 🤡 🫣

CARTOON OF THE DAY

Rep. Crockett’s Statement on the Supreme Court’s Ruling on Texas’s 2026 Map

Ahem

got a big art show tonight! if you're in the area, come see meeee!!!🖤😎

The family of the Colombian fisherman who was killed in the Sept. 15 US military strike in the Caribbean Sea filed a formal complaint Tuesday with the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights alleging the US government illegally killed him. abcnews.go.com/amp/Internat...

71 million views. Another brilliant PR move by the outstanding WH comms team. They owned the libs again by attacking and demeaning Sabrina just because she asked them not to steal her music for one of their sick deportation videos. Thanks for the new voters.

Can't think of a single perverse incentive here. Sounds great! Should definitely be partnering with news organizations!

i dropped spotify last year, and apple doesn't really have all of the "wrapped" fanfare, but here's my 2025 in music.😎 music.apple.com/us/playlist/...

Despite @aftynbehn.bsky.social generating real excitement with an authentic progressive anti-corruption message and getting closer than anyone in #TN7, *experts* are already dropping predictable “a centrist would’ve done better” takes - as though that hasn’t been tried here many times.

ATTN GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES: The VA sent out an announcement with a link for employees to self-report their disabilities. I wouldn’t do this if I were you. They’ll likely use it to discriminate against you.

“Do not ever involve me or my music to benefit your inhumane agenda,” Carpenter said in a post on X.

Ilhan Omar: “His obsession with me is creepy, I'm not going anywhere — I'll be here longer than #Trump - He’s an old man losing his mind. I hope he gets the help he desperately needs—”

AOC: This is how our healthcare system got deregulated. People talking about Americans should have the personal choice of getting totally fleeced by insurance companies.

The government has asked for the grand jury materials to be released as part of the law requiring the Epstein files to be made public.

The Spineless Speaker strikes again

JUST IN: Mike Johnson plans to swear in Rep.-elect Matt Van Epps on Thursday — less than two days after he won the TN-07 special election. As a reminder, it took Johnson 50 days to swear in Democratic Rep. Adelita Grijalva.

Jacob Frey: "If we are now at the point where the federal govt is deploying agents on legal American citizens with a goal of uprooting people who have formed lives here, have families here, started businesses here, definitively made Minneapolis a better place, everybody should be speaking out."

TN07 is a story about gerrymandering: the GOP cracked Nashville into 3 districts when it redrew the 2022 map, destroying the Dem seat there. Fast-forward: a section of Nashville, which just 5 years ago had a Dem representative, is now voting Dem by huge margins but it's been designed to not matter.

tennessee, you always unequivocally disappoint... at least the spread was single digits, i guess. 🤷‍♂️ (frfr i need to gtfo out of this shitty state tho. plz send help.)😩

Jacob Frey: "We are here to respond to credible reports relaying that there are as many as 100 federal agents that will be deployed to the Twin Cities with a specific focus on targeting our Somali community. To our Somali community -- we love you and we stand with you. That commitment is rock solid"

Lutnick demonstrates why he's called Nutlick: "The greatest cabinet ever for the greatest president ever. I can't be more proud of how you did it, sir. You created the greatest cabinet. It is a joy to be at this table."

@deadder.bsky.social Ouch 😳😳😳

damn

c'mon TN7.🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞

the moment this news conference ended, the house leader plunged his head into the ground like an ostrich.

​Starbucks to pay New York City workers staggering $35 million to settle claims of unstable schedules and arbitrary hour cuts. Settlement lands amid an ongoing union strike with politicians like Sen. Bernie Sanders amplifies baristas' demands for decency and fair contracts.

These Karoline Leavitt "press conferences" are completely worthless propaganda full of shameless lies. They should be ignored by the media and all of us.

Reporter: You said that that second strike was in full accordance with the law of armed conflict but the Navy's own manual of law of war says that specifically firing on survivors from a wrecked vessel is an example of a war crime that's forbidden under U.S. Law and the law of armed conflict…

ICE raids are cruel, inhumane, and do nothing to serve public safety. My responsibility is to be the mayor to each and every person that calls this city their home. That includes millions of immigrants— of which I am one.

Reminder that Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024. This was the widest CEO-to-Worker pay gap in the entire S&P 500. And we're supposed to believe Starbucks can't afford to bargain a fair contract with its unionized workers?

Thank you to all the volunteers! Rep. Aftyn Behn reported that more than 600 volunteers turned out and knocked on 13,000 doors. Let’s flip TN’s 7th District! And if you’ve got time, they still need help!

New Yorkers kept telling me the same thing: they’re thinking of leaving because they can’t afford to raise their kids here. Universal childcare isn’t just a promise — it’s how we make this a city for everyone.

Tennessee people, vote for this lady this week. She's cool and she puts the country perilously close to having a single check and/or balance.

In case you’re in the mood for some good news . . .

The acclaimed writer Tom Stoppard has died, at 88. For the award-winning playwright, “art is a game within a game—the larger game being life itself,” Kenneth Tynan wrote, in 1977. www.newyorker.com/magazine/197...

one of the greats. RIP tom stoppard. apple.news/APyuz39Z_RJy...

Stephen Miller’s Wife @katiemiller : “Can you cite the statute that makes the boat bombings illegal?” @bakarisellers.bsky.social : “The due process clause in the constitution.”

🎯 @robsandia.bsky.social on Private School Vouchers (for the wealthy) — “CALL THEIR BLUFF… if they want public dollars, they should have to follow the same rules as public schools… it’s not a ‘COMPETITION’ when not everyone is playing by the same rules.” (cc: Speaker Sexton)

The grasshopper gets it — divide and conquer. Today’s robber barons use the same playbook. But together, we have all the power. Watch.

🤔

Yes, who is more likely to regard the sacrifice of people as abhorrent than those who follow a religion centered on celebrating the sacrifice of a person?
