Annnnd the old lickspittle is back.

This is quite an amazing thing for a sitting US senator to say.

Everyone should read Trump’s long word salad quoted in full by @hcrichardson.bsky.social when he was asked why the government has not been able to help get Americans out of the war zone. Joe Biden was forced out of the presidency for less.

So far the war in Iran has cost an estimated $5.5 billion. That's roughly $1 billion per day. $41,666,667 per hour. $11,574 per second. People do not want this. They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.

Well would you look at that

Seems like the media should at least express some curiosity about this. open.substack.com/pub/jonathan...

This is the energy I was looking for in this hearing. This might be the greatest clip of a Senate hearing in history. bsky.app/profile/acyn...

Will any Republicans actually running for reelection see that Thom Tillis is showing them how to reclaim their sorry party today? It would be pretty to think so.

wow -- Tillis goes ballistic on Noem, telling her "what we've seen is a disaster under your leadership"

Well when you put it THAT way.

The regime’s war on free and functioning human minds is its most under-appreciated atrocity.

Maybe Rupert was on one of the Signal chats 👊💥 🇺🇸

There’s no such thing as congress that’s just a story they tell reporters

im starting to think the woke mind virus wasnt actually the biggest threat to civilization

He's willing to k*ll your children to avoid legal accountability for his pedophilia and political reckoning in a fair election.

Then what happened?

Here is my opening statement to the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee today.

Spoiler: they’re not looking into it

'IT ENDS TODAY': A federal judge in NJ says the Trump admin has continued to violate court orders in immigration cases and says he's prepared to haul in DOJ and DHS officials under oath. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Even a Trump State Department appointee like Matthew Bartlett is finally admitting the GOP's Clinton deposition is "theater of the absurd," because nothing says serious pursuit of justice for Epstein's victims like dragging Hillary in for questions you 1/2

Remember the quickly-dropped $10B lawsuit over the Epstein birthday drawing? Hard to believe NYT would publish this unless it believes fear of discovery similarly protects it, no?

Republicans on the cable shows this morning -- Suddenly talking again about need to "take" Greenland -- Hyping importance of "strangling" Cuban government -- Encouraging Trump to "topple" Iranian regime The Trump movement is totally out of control. This will not end well.

Yet another cold-blooded murder. Lying speeches be damned. This the actual State of the Union.

"We are dealing now with an allegation that the president of the US raped and sexually assaulted a child and is now using his DOJ to try to cover that up." If you want to understand latest Epstein revelations, @leahlitman.bsky.social explains them clearly on our pod: newrepublic.com/article/2070...

A reminder that white nationalism isn't just abhorrent, it's stupid.

The White House is obsessed with hiding the President's involvement in a child sex ring. It's what they spend most of their time on.

The Fox News chyron reads "Latest Dem hoax" at the same time that Brendan Carr confirms that yes, the FCC would've "enforced the law" and gone after CBS had Colbert aired his interview with Talarico on TV

Brendan Carr, head of the FCC, wrote the chapter on it in Project 2025. It’s hard to know what’s worse: The administration’s efforts to intimidate journalists or CBS’s willingness to cave in. Read here to understand the issues: open.substack.com/pub/joycevan... open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

The Constitution is currently being interpreted by the Epstein Class at SCOTUS.

I spent my childhood inside of American concentration camps. I know one when I see one. And that is what ICE is building.

What would normally be presidency-ending scandals not even a blip on the radar Daily

CBS is regime state TV, straight up. Sad

Bullshit.

Every time I think my lame-duck senator might do some good as he rides into the sunset, there’s a comment like this. You want to safeguard his *legacy*? Sir, can you not see that even *he* does not give a damn about his legacy?

This is nicely done.

When this headline popped into my news feed, I thought, just for a second, it might be real. This is where we are now.

Sort of gives away the lie that they're arresting hardened criminals who are drags on society when they're setting up traps to lure in Good Samaritans

When the U.S. House passed the SAVE Act last year, historians told us it was Congress’ worst attack on voting rights ever. Well, this week the House approved an even worse one. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

This is what ICE does every day. Hunt little kids who are here legally. They get sent to a place called the “baby jail” in Texas. Very little of it ends up on video like this. But it’s routine. And disgusting.

So good
