We're not supposed to be this angry every waking minute. We're not supposed to live a life in stasis, waiting for the next Truly Fucked Up Thing to occur. These "Current Times" are not normal, they are engineered by the sycophants & henchpepople of psychotic dictators. Do not accept any of it.

so the two notable programming moves bari weiss has made at CBS are... airing an interview nobody watched and not airing a 60 Minutes segment that everybody watched. it's like she's satirizing herself

“Why isn’t there a White History Month?” Because every month is White History Month. History is written by the victors — and colonizers. Much of the American history and literature we learned for generations erased the contributions of marginalized groups. open.substack.com/pub/jesspipe...

Khanna on the House holding Pam Bondi in contempt: "It's coming from Republicans too. If it was just me out there or Robert Garcia, it would be seen as 'this is just a Democratic thing.' This is gonna be Thomas Massie leading it. There are a few Republicans who are on board with it."

BREAKING: WATCH the full 60 Minutes CECOT segment here. This was sent to me anonymously. It appears to be the segment CBS' Bari Weiss killed. www.muellershewrote.com/p/watch-the-...

Missouri is already projected to lose $500 million this year by cutting the capital gains tax. We are set to another lose 2/3rds of our state revenue by cutting the income tax. I honestly don’t know what will become of the state, but I think it’s going to be very bad. Republicans can’t govern.

This has always been a Bluesky-first campaign. But as of today, we will no longer be using Twitter. At all. And I'm calling on other candidates to follow suit.

The only reason people are still pushing for an Epstein list is because they don’t believe women in the first place. There’s literally no reason for any of this shit.

INSTITUTIONAL FAILURE This could’ve been avoided 30 years ago. Maria Farmer’s 1996 FBI complaint has been unearthed in the Epstein files. It was the first time he was reported to the authorities. And they buried it. “If the FBI had listened to me in 1996, there would’ve been no more victims.”

Missouri lost the Chiefs and that just shows you that a Republican governor will screw you every way to Super Bowl Sunday. In case you don’t know, Kansas has a Democratic governor.

What a mess! Wyoming has some of the least competitive ACA markets in the country. In places like Teton County, there has often been only one ACA insurer (Blue Cross Blue Shield of Wyoming). That lack of competition drives prices way up. This is ridiculous.

really cannot be emphasized enough that bari weiss has literally never done journalism. i don’t mean that in the pejorative sense. i mean that in the “has never performed the job she was hired to do” sense

The white supremacy isn’t a dog whistle. It’s a bullhorn.

WOW. They're not going to air their special on CECOT. I'd like to know who made this decision, and whether the federal government had a hand in it.

Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

🧑‍🌾 SPOTTED in Jackson County, Wisconsin…

I can’t wait for the day we start ripping out all that golden shit out of the White House and tearing his name off of every taxpayer funded building in the country.

Everything’s fine…

‼️‼️

Maria Shriver, niece of JFK: He was a man interested in the arts, culture, education, language, history... It is beyond comprehension that the president has sought to rename this great memorial. C’mon my fellow Americans! Wake up! This is not dignified. This is not funny... It’s downright weird.

It’s good to see local superintendents and media saying the thing I have been saying for years. The Missouri GOP supermajority has schemed to defund public schools and send the money to private religious schools. This will close the rural schools in my state.

Ambetter just raised my health insurance premium 26.5% without even knowing if the ACA subsidies would be voted through.

A president cannot defend a nation if he is not held accountable to its laws.

Rand Paul: "We've never in our past decided just to shoot smugglers who are unarmed without even proof they're smuggling anything. So I think this is a horrendous thing that should stop. I think it's illegal & immoral... the kids in the military - I'm not for sending them down there to die for oil"

😕

New FBI Deputy Director just dropped. He’s the former Missouri AG. This guy used Missouri taxpayer money to sue Starbucks for harming white men, China for not sending masks during Covid even though he said Covid was a hoax, and who fought to execute a man who was found innocent of any crime.

It’s wild that the folks who cling to American exceptionalism are the ones who elected Donald Trump…

Trump sounds like a maniac at some sort of demented open mic

I only managed to listen to 45 seconds of whatever we are calling that performance last night. It was like watching a mashup of all of the Saturday Night Live skits patted and formed into a dim-witted humanoid with butthole lips spewing Nazi talking points.

Accurate

This could have been an email.

I still can't believe they're trying to make a war happen out of thin air. Not just their abrogation of Congress's role in formally declaring a war -- that's been a slippery slope for decades -- but their total unwillingness even to go through the motions of drumming up public support.

This has the votes to pass with bipartisan support, but Johnson is going to adjourn the House again to delay it as long as possible just like he did with Epstein.

Remove Mike Johnson from the Speaker position.

218 members signed the discharge petition to force a vote to extend ACA tax credits. If Speaker Johnson refuses to bring forth the vote, he’s telling the American people loud and clear that rising health care costs are acceptable to him.

BREAKING MS NOW: FBI deputy director Dan Bongino has quietly told confidants he plans to formally leave his job early in the new year and will not be returning to headquarters to work this month, according to eight people briefed on his account. www.ms.now/news/bongino...

Huge news… Discharge petition for extension of ACA tax credits for 3 years now has 218 votes. Speaker Johnson-bring this to the floor as soon as possible

BREAKING: House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries’ discharge petition has reached 218 signatures, clearing the threshold needed to force a vote on a clean, three-year extension of Obamacare premium subsidies.

No blood for oil

there is really no difference between the current administration and having the country run by david duke

My weekly email to my Congressman.

BREAKING: The House of Representatives just passed a bill that would subject immigrant children to invasive bodily searches and keep them in detention instead of releasing them to their families. The Senate must vote no on this horrific bill.

Next November, there will be no confusion about who raised healthcare premiums. None.

Apparently the WH Chief of Staff has been the victim of having her own words printed in a story.

AOC: I want to remind you where the real crime is. It's in the oligarchs taking $170 billion of our money from health care and food assistance and public programs and taking that and funneling it into a secret police program.

Gotta say it's mindblowing to me that the Brown shooter is still at large and they don't even seem to have identified who they're looking for.

My god…

Beginning to think the president might be, y’know, deranged.
