"I can see very plainly there is a hunger for Democrats to not be the party of strongly worded letters. If I can be one of a litany of voices demanding they start to embrace a willingness to fight, then I have an obligation given my position in this ecosystem to say it." My chat with @atrupar.com:

That might make sense, if it weren’t absolutely clear that Todd Blanche is a serial liar and testifying under oath means nothing to him

It’s easy to feel a sense of despair and hopelessness about our nation these days. But look at these judges marching carrying roses, standing up for the rule of law. It’s hard not to feel inspired and hopeful. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Really nice piece of writing by @monicahesse.bsky.social Every era gets the ‘Odyssey’ it deserves

The Constitution is clear: states run elections Now Mullin says states lose security funding unless they purge voters through a system a court already blocked They want to coerce states before the midterms, but we will not let them Free & fair elections are non-negotiable

Markwayne Mullin, dumb as a post, evil to the core.

Folks seem surprised that Trump would lie about election interference while simultaneously releasing documents that prove he was lying. When you have followers who will regurgitate whatever you say regardless of the evidence, the truth doesn’t actually matter.

Just rake-stepping all the way down.

RIP the iconic John Lewis, died this day 2020. "Get in good trouble, necessary trouble, and help redeem the soul of America." "The vote is precious. It is almost sacred. It is the most powerful non-violent tool we have in a democracy."

Sure, move on while he prepares to declare a national emergency and send in the military and FBI to seize ballot boxes.

Slotkin suggests Trump could use the military to seize ballots from polling places this November without even the fig leaf of a warrant

I've lived in Beijing, and the thing is - they don't have elections.

Hahahahahahahaha

Oops

Surely these people need more testosterone.

We’re actually witnessing explosive diarrhea!

They wanted to keep him from being reelected. But somehow were perfectly happy to have him elected again in 2024. Odd, isn’t it? Particularly odd because he claimed that China didn’t want him because of his tariffs.

Voter files are public information that anyone can purchase!

It is absolutely astonishing that the deep state manipulated the data when Trump was president to keep him from winning reelection, but then turned around and manipulated it again in 2024 to elect him. The same people who were a part of the deep state in both election years!

Tommy Tuberville, who lives and votes in Florida and falsely claimed residence in Alabama is the oly illegitimate senator!

My husband is a doomsayer who thinks of Maine Sen. Susan Collins as a political Houdini—an escape artist who can slither to a win no matter who or what she’s up against. I disagree! My latest, on all the reasons Collins could and should lose. @thebulwark.com www.thebulwark.com/p/susan-coll...

Graham’s death, no. McConnell’s absence though might make a difference.

Fox ran endless segments whining about every little thing the Obama daughters did that caused the slightest expense.

The thing about basing the political culture of your movement around baseless conspiracy theories is that you run the risk that your followers will fall for conspiracy theories about YOU.

MAGA really, really, really love men and really, really, really hate women. Interesting. Just an observation.

This little jaunt would cost taxpayers somewhere around $25-$30,000. Corrupt to the core. That’s true for both JD and Usha.

this guy wants as many americans as possible to die of preventable diseases. he views that as preferable to vaccines or long term medication. makes us “stronger”

Blanche lies so smoothly

I had to think long and hard before my third guess. Not even sure it would count as a word. Wordle 1,852 3/6 ⬜⬜🟨⬜🟨 🟨⬜⬜🟩⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

Todd Blanche has as much credibility as Nathan Thurm share.google/tdhv3ajAQoFl...

Gosh, I hope Durbin got a pinky promise from him. You can't go back on a pinky promise. Everybody knows that.

Outside of his utter corruption— where is the 50,000?— he is a disgrace to the office. He holds and to civil society.

How best to define the Trump era? I’m going with Explosive Diarrhea.

Excellent piece, thank you, Norm.

I’ve been watching the House slim hearing with Supreme Court justices; re-upping what I recently wrote. www.contrariannews.org/p/reining-in...

ICE agents in Maine killed a father on his way to work yesterday: Joan Sebastian Guerrero, 26. The week before, agents killed Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, 52, a father of three. The Trump administration isn't returning America to a nostalgic past. It's plunging families into a horrific present.

A serious contender for dumbest member of the Senate
