Speaking of DHS becoming toxic:

Or, you could go for the simpler explanation: Wicker would not be turning down jobs and federal money if he thought DHS wasn't toxic.

In the overstuffed closet containing things about which I shall never give a listless fuck, the status of alternatives to nationally-backed currencies or recognized commodities will forever reside. These are Dutch tulips. This is a long-con pyramid game. Every rube should lose his last nickel.

Things she’s willing to do to stop it: [nothing]

For the doubters about the demand list: Thune is literally saying they won't engage with a list that more or less just asks to recodify that it's illegal to break the laws they're already breaking. Now they have congressional Republicans committed to letting masked goons break into your home

Gonna need to make one of those Seth Moulton apology form memes.

Not going to hand it to Seth Moulton, but he’s a useful barometer in the “Jesus, even Seth Moulton is saying this” way.

The GOP is hemorrhaging women who don’t like seeing children being abducted so the NYTimes had to stop the bleeding with this nonsense

The New York Times likes Republicans and wants them to win.

I would like WI politicians to stop lying about the existence of mass voter fraud & stop insinuating people in cities are not real people & don't deserve to have their votes count. They've been doing it for at least 20 years & it's ugly & we shouldn't tolerate it. www.nytimes.com/2018/12/06/u...

Another thing for the funding bill, no direct fire of non-lethals at people. All of them are designed not to be fired directly at people and yet they keep firing them directly at people.

In an age of horrible media layoffs, in his last years at the intercept, Grim was clearing over $300k a year and that doesn’t count the side income streams he’s long fostered to lift even more money out of the hands of rubes.

The story claims that she works behind the scenes to stop some administration excesses. But in the highlighted example, she (1) gets upset about a child getting snatched; (2) calls Noem; (3) totally buys Noem's bogus story; (4) loses interest by the time it's obvious Noem was lying.

"DOGE’s objective was never to save taxpayer dollars. Musk did not 'fail'...DOGE was—and remains, through Vought’s OMB—an effort to extinguish the existing government and create a new one in the image of oligarchs and far-right ideologues."

Trump was probably on a path to win the moment the three-cueing zoomer streamer class decided he was a kind of national Fun Uncle, at which the horrors of the first term were washed away and replaced with this idea that he’s the guy who’d give you permission to be a sneering little twit

They have made clear that it was never just about illegal immigration: they hate all immigrants.

“military-grade intelligence tactics” “Pattern-of-life” intelligence Bro, you are eating microwaveable Campbell’s Soup for every meal and crashing out in front of the Home2Suites while you’re geared up like you’re in Fallujah

I am deeply worried that white men in their twenties who like to break things and who idolize Stalin are not being properly centered in the discourse the way they should be, just because suburban moms happen to be better organized and more successful than they are in fighting gangs of fascist thugs.

He lied. Repeatedly. Just fucking say it already.

I told y’all Homan would be worse

Minneapolis gets nominated for the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize for defending human rights & community care. Somewhere Trump is rage-posting in ALL CAPS, throws ketchup, blames immigrants, demands recount. History really said not you🤡 Community. Peace. Solidarity. People power works. 🕊️✊ #SheShed

Michael Tracey has finally logged back into social media in order to mount a full throated defense of Ghislaine Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein. I'm guessing his pal Glem Grendlewald told him people were accusing him of being in hiding.

We can’t have someone enforcing the law who isn’t even following the law himself. The American people deserve to know if Tom Homan took $50k from an FBI undercover agent and what he did with the money.

One of those "elderly Democrats" who "won't fight for us."

Campaign says Jan 6 police responder Harry Dunn raised more than $500,000 in the first 24 hours of his campaign for Congress in Maryland

I want to reiterate that this shit is nuts. A federal invasion of state-run elections, an intelligence community invasion of federal law enforcement, a White House invasion of a criminal investigation, and a president’s insane treasonable sore loser obsession all rolled up and muddled together.

People who insist we need younger people in office in Washington while they themselves keep trying to prop up the shitty political advice of 81 year old James Carville

So someone is trying to rig the voting on the Melania movie ratings! Who would do such a thing?

They’re trying to run the Kilmar Abrego Garcia playbook with a five year old boy in a bunny hat because nobody can find peace if they embarrass the Trump administration publicly. Normal people didn’t like it with Garcia and they really aren’t going to like it for Liam.

This attempt to accuse Jasmine Crockett of something she never did reminds me of when Bernie Sanders' 2016 campaign staffers convinced him Hillary said he wasn't qualified to be president after he botched his NY Daily News interview. What she actually said was "that's for the voters to decide."

And Bernie REALLY fell for it. In fact, he gave a speech the next day saying Hillary was the one who wasn't qualified.

Is convicted embezzler Chuck Rocha now working for the James Talarico campaign? If so, that would be another Bernie coded red flag. I honestly don't understand how campaigns keep hiring Rocha. He was convicted in 2013 of embezzling union funds back in 2008.

They’re really going with the “Liam Ramos is no angel” strategy

The people whose names literally show up thousands of times in the Epstein files want you to think a 5-year-old refugee and star kindergarten student is the problem with this country rather than the white pedophiles in charge of it who keep stealing American money and assaulting American children

ICE are not the police,They are not the FBI, They are not US Marshals , they are not DEA, they are border enforcement agents tasked to protect our border & to uphold our immigration laws- the are not empowered to do anything else or to defy or break our laws doing it- apnews.com/article/immi...

Sen. Elissa Slotkin has refused to voluntarily participate in a Justice Dept. investigation over a video she and five other Democratic members of Congress recorded last year that urged U.S. troops to resist unlawful orders from the Trump administration.

Bitcoin's price continues its decline, dropping another 11% to $67,000. It has lost nearly half its value since hitting a record high in October.

The MSM believes this too, btw. Media: Kamala is a policy lightweight. Kamala: Let’s talk about this Project 2025 thing. Media: First of all, only lying whores talk about policy. So write that down…

The American people as a whole are in a weird place where they're simultaneously hyper-cynical and totally dismissive of the notion there are like 18 different psyops going on to undermine their belief in the concept of society.

one actual lesson here is that some men will believe anything that 1) flatters their prejudices and 2) is said by something that looks like an attractive young woman

Nobody who's been incidentally mentioned or revealed to have had only trivial interactions with Epstein has suffered any consequence worse than being mildly embarrassed, at most, and they have been the focus of little if any media coverage.

The thing about that unhinged Soave skeet is there is a way in which Epstein, when you move past the billionaires and zeroes after his name and the private island of it all is no different from weirdos that set up stripclubs in barns and do human trafficking. We treat it as exotic but its tawdry.

What makes it unhinged is that you can't actually do the part where you move past the billionaires and the island and the zeroes after his name, because the random sex club in teh sticks dodging every kind of enforcement imaginable won't have Noam Chomsky and Steve Bannon in the fucking green room

Yes, we learn that people interacted with Epstein, but we also learned that they socialized with the other people who interacted with Epstein, and boy is that a motley ideological crew with influence and power!

What the online leftist fails to grasp is that, no, the entire game is not already lost and what the online liberal fails to grasp is that it does not matter whether or not the next President is a literal fascist, but that it is someone who can successfully halt and reverse this process.

If you truly believed that getting rid of the illegals would bring about a shangri-la of social and economic benefits you wouldn't start the project in liberal cities in blue states with resistant governments, you'd start in red states with friendly governments and make an example for others

Also John Tyson, Trump donor, would have invited ICE to clear out all his chicken plant workers to start, to make way for the glorious innovative power of an all-American workforce.

Yes, Josh Barro, McMegan and others, we actually all understand very well that the Epstein files has roped in most if not all of the Manhattan elite, and this is the fundamental problem for those of us outside of that clique

I do think it's meaningfully different because the threat isn't as concentrated, but as a Central Texan: regular-ass fuckos have been big organizing here ESPECIALLY after both of these state-sanctioned murders so that we know how to track/report the secret police. Ramped up, not down.
