@purematthew.bsky.social Pretending you don't know what's in the news about the subjects you claim to care about is called pulling a Mike Johnson. Google exists. www.advocate.com/politics/gra...

War is peace

The last good president. He also didn’t demolish the White House nor democracy.

An Idaho mother was brutally beaten and zip-tied by ICE in front of her three U.S. citizen children.

ICE now abducting Black men off the streets of New York. Yes, they are abducting American citizens.

Sen. Kevin Cramer on Mike Johnson: "It may be getting to be time for him to bring the House back into session, if for no other reason to start doing other legislation and perhaps to swear in the House member from Arizona that they're so uptight about."

Who could have seen this coming

New in PN: Lindsey Halligan's humiliation continues apace "After discovering — too late! — that you have to tell reporters beforehand if you want conversations to be off the record, Halligan now finds herself attempting to prosecute 2 high profile cases on the 'rocket docket.' It’s not going well."

Europe, be aware. USA's move to fascism is going to hurt. Seriously hurt. Never comply. Never abide. We know what fascism does: It hates people. End of story. It hates people, their only power.

Fetterman describes Trump trying to steal $230 million from taxpayers as "small ball, and I think we have much bigger problems than worrying about those things."

But now he has immunity (which he didn’t before), has installed civilian leadership at the Pentagon and DOJ who will refuse him nothing, and is in the process of purging senior military and DOJ careerists who might stand up to them.

He did everything he possibly could to overturn the election & stay in power - threatening his VP, Govs & Secs of States, organizing a mob to storm the Capitol. He knew if he ordered a military coup they would’ve refused & he would’ve been tried for treason. That’s why he left.

Well, well, well...

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 79th day out of the last 91. The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown. It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

I think it would cost a lot of money for a future President to tear down this ballroom and restore the East Wing to something that resembled its historic building. But this country has spent a lot more money on a lot dumber things in the past and I'm fine with my tax dollars doing this.

34 people killed in 50 days. Their guilt or innocence unknown, for an alleged crime that doesn't carry a death sentence. That's a lot of death. adamisacson.com/boat-strikes/

"The people united will never be defeated" New York

lol, great, so we're now subsidizing Argentine ranchers at the expense of American ranchers. Seems politically sustainable, no questions from me. *US SEEKS TO QUADRUPLE BEEF PURCHASES FROM ARGENTINA: POLITICO

If the National Guard is really in D.C. to protect federal property, they should probably have been at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. two days ago

Make your general strike prep while you can! ✊🏼

Adelita Grijalva: "There is so much that cannot be done until I'm sworn in. So every moment that passes that I'm not able to provide constituent services or be a voice for Arizona, I cannot bring the issues forward that they send me here to do."

Enough is enough. Adelita Grijalva was elected on September 23. The people of Arizona have a right to be represented in Congress.   During today’s pro forma session, when the House is called to order I will seek unanimous consent to insist upon the swearing-in of Adelita Grijalva.

The "Islamists" in the Democratic Party are not the people who are building Qatar an Air Force facility in... Idaho.

Nancy Mace:  "The left and Democrats, they don't love America. They don't love our values here in America, they don't. They don't like people who are Christian. they don't like people who are spiritual. I would argue they also don't like Jews, by the way"

It was cold and rainy and gross this morning and we still packed the house and got 30ish people knocking doors afterward! Thank you to everyone who came out!! And if *you* wanna get involved, make sure to join our volunteer Discord server: discord.gg/katforillinois

Real time data coming out of the world’s climate measurement systems should be stopping us in our tracks. The latest estimate shows that, this week, the Earth is 1.9°C warmer than before we began burning fossil fuels. #climatecrisis #ClimateEmergency #auspol www.lyrebirddreaming.com/post/we-re-t...

Ah! Good morning, reality. And welcome. We’ve been expecting you…

The phone number for the U.S. Capitol switchboard is (202) 224-3121. #epstein

Absolutely 💯 agree with Jasmine Crockett........

😍 Boston, you are beautiful. #NoKings

While people continue to struggle to get FEMA aid approved after their lives were destroyed by natural disasters.

We always get these huge Trump announcements with much media hype and fanfare with lots of big promises and assurances, effusively praising himself looking for awards & prizes, while experts say the details are scarce or nonexistent. Then a short time later we get the reality.

She alleged in the past that it was former Israeli PM Ehud Barak but we can’t know that for sure because Trump, Bondi, Patel and Johnson are hiding this person’s identity from the public by blocking release of the Epstein files. Whoever it is. For some reason.

Steve Scalise: "They call him a king where ironically they're also advocating for the death of that democratically elected president." #wut

No Kings Day message to Trump: Other than your coterie of ass-kissers, nobody likes you.

No Kings in Los Angeles: Patriotic Angelenos showed up, y'all — BIG TIME. 🙌💪👏✊️🇺🇸👇

Oh it’s not appropriate for your program to air the president wearing a crown and shitting on American citizens? You’ll talk about it in euphemisms? Maybe call it the “crown video” and ignore the shitting part? Because that’s appropriate? Tell me, was it appropriate for the president to do it?

Cancel SPOTIFY. They are running ICE ads. F them. www.snopes.com/fact-check/s...

as far as just messaging goes that video is probably the most embarrassing thing any president has done on the world stage in my life and the fact that the sunday shows wont even describe it? total abdication of their responsibility

KARL: “Why haven’t you sworn in Adelita Grijalva?” SPEAKER JOHNSON: “I’m following the Pelosi precedent with Letlow.” KARL: “But that was the date Letlow requested.” SPEAKER JOHNSON: 🤷🏼 #EpsteinFilesCoverUp

We've started getting accustomed to these outrages. Which only paves the road for more Constitutional abuses. Don't normalize #Fascism

The only way we are going to beat fascism is enough people break out of the hologrammatic silicon prison that has been constructed around them out of algorithms and hypermedia
