If they weren’t in danger before, they are now. Nobody but themselves to blame for that.

this is cold-blooded murder by masked government thugs in broad daylight while surrounded by civilians recording them

From the video, there’s already probable cause to arrest and charge. There’s little/no reason to wait. If it was anybody else who pulled the trigger, they’d already be in custody.

This is called murder and the shooter should be in jail rn. Will police do their job this time?

It’s a very complicated world, and there’s a lot of grey rather than black or white, so it’s comforting to know with certainty that if Tricia McLaughlin says something you can know, with confidence, it’s false.

The White House revision of the 5th anniversary of January 6 is less about remembering 2021 than it is about conjuring 1984. www.whitehouse.gov/j6/

Says the man responsible for the one-time largest Medicare fraud in history. Anybody who would scam the country for close to TWO BILLION DOLLARS doesn’t come to the debate as an objective observer, a dispassionate advocate in the public interest. These absolute pieces of shit need to gtfo my gov.

Everyone should watch Senator Mark Kelly's brutal video response to the corrupt Trump/Hegseth effort to punish him. As @leahlitman.bsky.social says on the pod: "They are saying it is illegal to encourage people to follow the law." Leah explains this all brilliantly: newrepublic.com/article/2049...

Update: "Only 50 staffers" "Just bad journalism" Patricia, you lied. You knew you were lying. AlrGov called you on your lying.

These people have all lost their gd minds and have forgotten their place. It’s long past time we reminded them.

New in PN: Corporation for Public Broadcasting's patriotic goodbye "We’re in thrall to a con man who denigrates the very idea of truth and uses media only to distract and divide. And so the CPB board members broke their plowshares lest they be beaten into swords by a deranged demagogue."

🍆🥔 Day 99 Wtf am I even watching

WTAF

I think we know why

Now he’s got an entire webpage dedicated to rewriting Jan 6. I just cannot. www . whitehouse . gov / j6 /(without the spaces - I’m not giving a backlink to that page)

one takeaway from the grok noncon porn thing is that much of the media just isn't interested in an issue they can't pretend has two sides or that doesn't give them an opportunity to shit on the left. Also it would be uncomfortable to justify remaining on twitter after acknowledging it

Kelly: This letter or anything that Hegseth says or does to me is in no way going to affect the way I do my job. His option is he can continue with this kind of bullshit or he can go take a hike. That's his options.

I am pleased to announce that I have commandeered my neighbor's home. This home will be sold at its Market Price, and that money will be controlled by me, to ensure it is used to benefit my neighbor and me! Thank you for your attention to this matter!

That’s it. SHUT. IT. THE. FUCK. DOWN.

JFC, you did it to yourselves you gd poors! /s This is why we can’t have nice things.

there are 100s of national/international reports featuring details, video from rioters etc. the videos themselves are all over the web. there are multiple highly-detailed reconstructions of the days events that use video, photo, GPS data, sworn legal testimony, etc. the GOP thinks we're total idiots

Ya know, ‘Democrats are still willing to hold officials of their own party accountable whereas Republicans are so craven and power hungry they wouldn’t dare’ isn’t the flex ol’ BJ thinks it is.

🚨BREAKING: More than two weeks past its statutory deadline, the DOJ has released less than 1% of its Epstein documents and it will continue to be in violation of the law for the foreseeable future. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

This is the type of marketplace I crave

There we go. That there’s a headline.

It’s okay to dream and plan and work hard for success. E.g., if you’d like to fly in spite of gravity, build a plane and harness physics in your favor. But an addict feels aggrieved by reality and believes/insists their power shouldn’t be bound by anything/anyone. His CoS says alcoholic personality.

The insistence of Fox hosts in pushing the "Maduro sending fentanyl" lie is remarkable. When the DOJ doesn't argue that in the trial, will they just pretend it did?

If you’re asking yourself WTF is a tariff shelf, you’re missing the point which is that his lies are keeping your head spinning while he’s screwing our country six ways from Sunday

This is why we invaded another country and kidnapped their president (and all the other things 🍆🥔 doesn’t want us to judge him for rn). When the weight of his bullshit seems to hit a tipping point, he adds more to the pile to force us to recalculate and burn time just to reach the same conclusion.

They don’t have a plan or even a message. This isn’t a strategy. It’s distraction + smash-and-grab. The worst possible basis for foreign policy/intervention. For 🍆🥔, it’s 100% wag the dog. For those around him, it’s mostly opportunism and partly ideological full release, w/o regard to consequences.

Some people in the Trump administration may benefit from a clear visualization of what "Nothing" means.

Finally a reporter pointing out the lawlessness. “The Post-Katrina Emergency Management Reform Act, the DHS secretary is prohibited from taking actions that “substantially or significantly reduce the authorities, responsibilities,or functions” of FEMA. wapo.st/3Z3WrN3

“It’s not just unprecedented — it directly contradicts the law,” said a FEMA official

COOPER: Do you believe the Trump administration is still lying? CHRIS MURPHY: Donald Trump lies every single day, so of course you can't take anything he says as the truth

Chris Murphy: "At some level he's winning tonight because clearly part of his intent here was to distract the American people -- you and I -- from what's happening here at home. You have 20 million families who are getting massive increases in their healthcare premiums. People will die."

The president against remote work has been at his house in Florida for 3 weeks.

I didn’t rename it the Department of War, they (pretend) did. If you lead with the Department of War, it’s war.

when will they start jailing us for holing up blank pieces of paper?

It was a law enforcement operation so Senate Judiciary Committee members were ... excluded from the briefing:

Eyes wide open, folks. They're revealing the supervillain plot.

Nicolás Maduro Charged With Felony Oil Possession

#IStandWithMarkKelly too!

Okay, but the President said it’s war. He used that specific word. War.

When do Rs hit bottom? These are the type of addicts who OD rather than changing. We’re going to have to do this the hard way. We’re going to need help. Go community now.

One problem with letting him be 🍆🥔 of the United States is we surrender our agency to resist him trying to be 🍆🥔 of any other country he likes. Since when do we elect the emperor of the world? I never read that in the Constitution or anywhere else.

BBC journalists have been banned from describing the kidnapped Venezuelan leader as having been kidnapped. The BBC News Editor has sent this to BBC journalists.

Tim Walz: "I don't want to mince words here. Donald Trump and his allies in Washington and in St Paul and online want to make our state a colder, meaner place. They won't to poison our people against each other by attacking our neighbors."

If Venezuela did it to us, would it be war?
