Kash Patel has "summarily dismissed" a trainee for displaying a pride flag. "Summarily" means without attention to formalities. And there are formalities for firing a federal employee. So the twit Kash is admitting that the firing was done in a pique of bigotry, not in accordance with the law.

BREAKING: A federal judge finds that there is evidence Kilmar Abrego was VINDICTIVELY PROSECUTED. The judge GRANTS Abrego's motion for discovery and a hearing, and the government must now PROVE it did not vindictively prosecute Mr. Abrego. 1/

People like to claim that autistics are bad at communicating and like, my dude, the problem does not lie with us, it lies with the web of manipulation and lies and passive aggression and ulterior agendas that you weave around yourselves instead of just doing what we do, which is saying what we mean.

Jeffries: In that Oval Office meeting, which lasted over an hour, the amount of time spent talking about health insurance for undocumented immigrants was less than 10 seconds. You know why? Because they know it’s a lie. They didn’t even bother to bring it up—because the cameras weren’t rolling.

Sure, sure....

KIMMEL: “That sonofabitch… I never imagined we’d have a president like this, and I hope we never have another president like this again… celebrating hundreds of Americans losing their jobs - he took pleasure in that. The opposite of what a leader is supposed to be.”

CUOMO: I'm not used to seeing naked propaganda on a government website. Are you worried about violating the Hatch Act? TURNER: We're not worried at all. This is about letting the American people know what's going on. C: It's not true. That's why I'm bringing it up. That's why it's propaganda.

These guys look like the “before” picture in a testosterone commercial.

Angus: American farmers who bought into Trump, thinking tariffs would help them—their markets are gone. Canada’s not making noise about it; we’re just moving in. Canadian corn is now being sold in Ireland, Spain, and the UK. Those used to be guaranteed American markets. Not anymore.

Raskin: "It's not lost on anyone that shutting the government down allows them not swear in our new colleague, Ms Grijalva from Arizona, who would be the 218th signature to discharge the Epstein files and to put a vote on that on the House floor."

Enjoy some truth about the #TrumpShutdown @markwarner.bsky.social

Happy momma

Everything this administration is doing to its own citizens on American soil is exactly why the Second Amendment exists, to protect us when the government turns on its people.

Donald Trump is president. He completely usurped the power of Congress — and his MAGA lackeys are more than happy to go along with whatever he wants. If the government ends up shutting down, there's only one person to blame.

Phang: So, as we can see you have a DHS official—you clearly hear him say on that body cam footage, “I am arresting the mayor. Even though he stepped out, I’m going to put him in cuffs.” Who told him to do it? He says: the Deputy Attorney General… And who’s that? Todd Blanche.

I called Speaker Mike Johnson's office saying he needs to immediately swear in Representative-elect Adelita Grijalva (D-Ariz.). The aide hung up on me! WOW!

I'd be curious to know who much it cost the American taxpayers to flying generals in from all over the world so Pete Hegseth and Donald Trump would have a captive audience to witness their weird and dangerous witlessness live.

This is the right way to respond to Trump’s AI fake video post

Is there such a thing as a good cop anymore?

Another way of looking at it

I did it. I added some Keystone Cops music to this:

Wish they would look into this, too.

Tea Pain just got back from buying groceries at Walmart. That’s the first time I’ve ever seen anybody offering home equity loans to buy ground beef.

Hegseth is summoning hundreds of the most senior US generals and admirals so he can give them a lecture on the “warrior ethos” this week.

80-year-old American citizen car wash owner Rafi Shouhed injured when ICE tackled him to the ground twice, held in detention, denied needed medical care, sues ICE for $50 million. Arms injured, ribs broken, has heart condition #DefundICE #Voices4Victory #ProudBlue m.youtube.com/watch?v=j2gQ...

“Show us your warrant!” “Ma’am, you’ve been watching too many movies. We’ll show you the warrant after we’re done.” 🤔 *busts in the door with babies crying*

🤣🤣

Amid an ongoing wave of conspiracy theories and bogus claims about Jan 6, I’ll note this from our reporting: Rioters made all kinds of claims and defenses in court … and jurors convicted 100% of the defendants who went to trial 100%

Indie director Barbara Marques has been kidnapped by ICE. She is legally married to a U.S. citizen & was at a green card mtg when she was abducted and prevented from seeing her lawyer. Her husband Tucker May does not know where she is. Please spread the word so he can find her /1

Oh, dear. 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣👇

Just sending our sisters Justices Sotomayor, Kagan and Jackson some good energy. What a terrible job to have right now. Imagine getting the dream job at the pinnacle of your profession and your peers are 6 christofascist bozos that are committed to bringing the whole institution down.

The rules have changed. Mike Johnson wants to wait until the official results come in October 14th to swear in Grijalva.

The largest group in ICE detention is now immigrants with no criminal record, with more than 16,500 currently being held. Don’t fall for Trump’s lies about going after the “worst of the worst.” This was never about legal immigration. It was always about cruelty.

Just a reminder: democrats can’t shut down the government. Republicans hold the majority.

Personally, I don't want farmers to get a single penny of my taxes for a bailout. I voted to protect your farm and you voted to destroy it. It is not my job to save you from your own stupidity. Pull yourself up by your bootstraps.
