The leader of the Republican Party has spoken.

So, this is not worth being fired over (OBVIOUSLY) but making that point a graphic on a slide or whatever, and not a side comment in the discussion, makes it seem like this could have been a landmind that you could have stepped around.

UPDATE: if we reach $350 he gets to color bomb the Principal. I don’t know what this means but for those of you with authority issues, here’s your chance.

Nothing? Damn, Bluesky. I was told there was Star Wars discourse.

this should be obvious but the reason Trump is working desperately against Epstein transparency is because he's guilty

Hoooooooooly shit

Unpopular Star Wars opinion. There is this YT video from like 6 years ago of a CGI upgrade to the OG Kenobi-Vader duel. I think Disney should canonize some animated off-screen elements from A New Hope with Prequel style fighting. With the Kenobi show and Luke in The Mandalorian, you kinda have to.

The House Republicans continue to protect a pedophile sex trafficking ring and all their friends who were involved. Not surprising, but hilarious on a day when the GOP is insisting that a partial release of emails was meant to smear the innocent President. Why keep hiding the files then?

This is why Grijalva is being sworn in. Johnson needed to ensure the Pedophile Protection Caucus remained the stronger block.

My kid attends a school that specializes in part in helping #autistic kids like Benjamin. But as you can imagine schools are having a hard time raising money this year. There’s a whole bunch of followers here so if ya wanna throw in $5, it would do some good. ultraschoolevents.com/pledge/pledg...

Look I am a secularist that has a complicated relationship with any sort of supernatural religious belief but I would lay down my life to give people the right to believe what they want and serve this country including my pagan brothers, sisters, etc.; Norse or otherwise. Screw this cosplay DefSec.

Mike Johnson had a press conference to prepare for.

I am happy the al-Assad regime is gone. I can even be fine with Syria's future being charted by a former member of al-Qaeda. Not my call. But the President making jokes with a man linked to murdered Americans while his minions slander an American mayor-elect a jihadist is peak MAGA hypocrisy.

So glad Democrats didn't break bread with the Speaker of Pedophiles ahead of this... Oh wait, nevermind.

Moon landing denier, ChatGPT student, reality star, and so-far failed lawyer Kim Kardashian believed psychics who told her she'd succeed. This really is America 2025 in a nutshell.

I mean, its five years after I wrote the damn thing but seeing the proofs for an academic book review I wrote was kind of dope. I got whole catagories of things I need to get together but that was cool.

Again, the chief executive of our country mocking saying "The Constitution says this...that" should be an impeachable misdemeanor. He is mocking the basic of our republic. It should not be this hard.

This franchise has gone in a wierd direction after 23 years.

Some of our notes from yesterday’s discussion in my grad seminar on Barbara Ransby’s biography of Ella Baker and Jacquelyn Down Hall’s article on the “long civil rights movement.”

It took me a bit to catch up on story but imagine if William Randolph Hearst published a full page add that went "Mr. Hearst reads good. We promise." This is what the publicly documented richest man on the planet is doing right now

Ro Khanna is running for President.

Rescind their committee assignments, replace them immediately, and start a conversation within the party machine for supporting a primary challenger. None of those seven should be releected and a Democrat should attempt to unseat Angus King.

Temu Twitter was better when there was an invitation involved.

"I couldn't vote for someone..." isn't a moral high ground when the DOGE cuts under Trump have already killed hundreds of thousands. You didn't vote against a genocide. You allowed the Horseman of Famine to take over the global superpower.

In an adult binary choice, the one not talking about his son-in-law turning Palestine into resorts and condominiums.

Look I say "randos" because I grew up in online gamer culture on consoles in the 2000s, the House Minority leader should use actual words.

If only this could have been avoided by people actually voting for the person who was for good things and against bad things...

Air traffic controllers aren't being paid and this admin has openly mused about not paying federal workers backpay iirc. The threat to docking pay is literally hollow and pointless then. Donald Trump is thrashing underwater and Democrats threw him a life preserver.

"I am going to dock your pay!: They are already not being paid, you dotard!

"Independent voter". I am not sure jumping in the most bandwagon antisemitic approach to this involves much free thinking.

We could be celebrating another definitive victory for American civil rights today. One won by the same political party that won victories earlier this week. Instead we are inspecting the complications of the back wounds inflicted by seven Democrats and one Independent in defense of Donald Trump.

The true leader of the free world, Zelenskyy.

Tim Kaine, on the 9th anniversary of the biggest failure of the Democratic Party, decided he wanted to remind people what his brand was.

King isn't a Democrat but imagine watching the opposition sweep an off year election only to immediately surrender.

Every Democrat should face a primary across the board. They should defend and earn their offices - every time. If the party is literally this broken that it can't stop seven of its members and a caucusing independent from breaking a fundamental party position, it needs to be flushed out entirely.

Seven Democrats bail out the Trump GOP as the water rises. Brought to you by the same political masterminds that lost the 2024 election to a rapist insurrectionist.

Schumer can be removed from his Dem leadership role this week - 23 Dems (and/or independents) just have to vote to depose him And they should, given this is his fault.

In case you want to know why I left the Democratic Party when I moved from New York to Florida, this is why.

"I, then say your name..." Jesus Christ.

This, for those playing at home, historically led to bad times for the aggressor country.

The president is desperate to make sure Americans go hungry. Seems like a pretty big news story? Especially as he's throwing massive parties for himself and building a giant golden ballroom? If the media or Democrats are looking for a "kitchen table" issue, this seems like a *pretty* good fit

A bold strategy...

It's always a good D&D game when you need to end a session so they can resolve the fact that the former friendly NPC turned boss monster was polymorphed into a turtle next week. My players are wonderful.

It could be worse. We could be Argentinians.

Welcome to the United States of America!
