I’ve avoided a lot of the Platner discourse because it’s a toxic tarpit, but I think the notion that the lesson here is primarily about either one political faction or something essential about “unvetted” newcomers, sits in some considerable tension with the entire Eric Swalwell experience.

Trump has literally gone insane. He's tearing down the White House portico and he's building permanent fencing around the White House, and he's gone crazy and he thinks he's about to be killed youtube.com/watch?v=ku84...

The Senate returns from recess Monday, nearly a month after McConnell was hospitalized on June 14.

If America is such a great and powerful country, how is it that no-one can get rid of the idiot in the WH who is embarassing himself and the country, every day that he is there?

Heads up Seattle! Keep your eyes open, and wear your whistles.

Universal Healthcare isn't far left Prosecuting rapists isn't far left Criticizing politicians and policies isn't far left Demanding laws for equality & civil rights isn't far left None of it is far enough If someone considers any of these ideas to be far left then they're definitely far right

KY Gov Andy Barr needs to call a Special Election to replace Mitch McConnell, and let McConnell prove he's not on life support or dead.

BREAKING: A reporter asked Mike Johnson at a press conference today, “Should we bother asking you any questions about Trump reigniting his illegal Iran War without any Constitutionally mandatory Congressional deliberation and authorization... or have you not heard about it yet?"

It’s “rules for thee, but not for me” when it comes to Texas AG Ken Paxton. He used an address where he hasn’t lived since 2024 while voting in six elections in the past two years! I break down the allegations of how Paxton may have committed a second-degree felony. youtu.be/-5hieL8HRG4?...

The release of the full Epstein files would solve about 98% of society’s cross-national problems. This is why I don’t believe hackers exist anymore because if they could, they would.

He fell asleep in a meeting with Turkish President Erdogan, referred to Iran as the "Islamic Republic of Japan", TikTok as "Tic Tac", President Zelensky as "President Putin" & once again demanded the U.S. be given control of Greenland. He's much less dangerous while sleeping than when he's awake. 💤

Why are our elected officials on both sides letting this maniac destroy our White House????? WHY

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has announced that Mexico is taking legal action against the United States in regards to the cold blooded murder of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo by an ICE killer in Texas. They’ll pursue justice for the mistreatment of Mexican nationals. Good. 💙👊

Mamdani got into office and instantly: • Froze rent for 2 million New Yorkers • Cut subway fares in half for low-income riders • Fully funded NYC parks • Added $680M for public schools • Launched free child care for 2-year-olds If establishment politicians actually wanted to help you, they could.

MacFarlane: Welcome back to the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, which has retained its very swampy, green-like color. It’s still fenced off. It’s still inaccessible. It’s still not in its best shape. It is reflecting again, but it’s almost like it’s quarantined in its green-like state.

Trump lies about Mitch McConnell youtube.com/shorts/bFO1H...

SHOCK NYT REPORT: DHS now admits the man ICE killed in Houston wasn't even their target. Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, a 35-year U.S. resident, was just driving to work when agents — with no body cameras — shot him dead searching for two other men who weren't even in the van. Gift link in reply.

The House’s Epstein investigation will hit the one-year mark later this month, and the saga isn’t ending anytime soon. 🔗 politi.co/4h3mC0z

ICE claims that Araujo drove into one of their SUVs with his van and then tried to run over an agent. There were no marks on the van and KHOU11's Jeremy Rogalski found surveillance footage showing ICE chasing Araujo and cutting him off. Renee Good all over again.

Mitch McConnell hasn’t been seen or heard from in 25 days in the hospital. Yet he still has a job, still getting paid, and getting unlimited world class healthcare. The man who voted against a living wage, against universal healthcare, and against guaranteed paid leave, is now getting all three.

Yeah, we know. We’ve been saying that for 18 months.
