After the FBI denied "children were zip-tied or hit with rubber bullets" in a raid in Wilder, Idaho, the FBI said no "young" children were. The updated statement came after KIVI-TV sent FBI photo reportedly showing 14-year-old U.S. citizen in zip ties.

i will never understand how 77 million Americans thought empowering this was a good idea. our country was so lucky to survive his first term and he's much worse now.

So, someone shared this with me. There are a series of pseudonymous essays from 2023 in the Claremont Institute that they think were authored by Russ Vought. Any ideas how to verify this? americanmind.org/author/lance...

He lost the 2020 election. He knew it. He lied about it. And now he’s demanding your money because knowingly lying didn’t make him President.

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/

Don’t let Republicans rig another election‼️ Prop 50 is about fairness and power; giving California voters the final say on congressional maps, not politicians. Your vote isn’t just a choice this time, it’s a defense. Stand up and use it. #YesOnProp50

If Dems let this race slip through their fingers it is going to be such a damning indictment of the national party and of a climate movement that can't organize its way out of a goddamn wet paper bag. 😡

My fellow Americans, I make you this solemn promise:

A senate candidate whose nipples you never have to see at all

"I’ve come to the Senate floor tonight to ring the alarm bells. We’re in the most perilous moment, the biggest threat to our republic since the civil war. [Trump] is shredding our constitution” - Sen Merkley, & he's still going 👏👏Thanks Senator, for bringing more unavoidable light to this nightmare

Remarkable overlap between Russia's favorite propagandists and Whiskey Pete's. 🤔

This is bullshit, but as we know, that doesn't matter. It's an easy story to tell & an easy one to believe. What is the counter-story? Are climate people telling it? Are Dems? Where are they on this? Can they actually get ahead of the curve for once in their f'ing lives?

Remember how I said electricity prices are the sleeper political issue of the next few years, especially in crucial state elections? Here's RW media telling NJ voters that renewables are the cause of those high prices:

If we survive him, we will tear his ballroom down and rebuild the east wing and the Rose Garden.

NEW EPISODE: Donald Trump is laying the groundwork to undermine the 2026 elections — filling his administration with election deniers, weaponizing the Justice Department, and attacking the rule of law. Trump’s allies are preparing to control every part of the election process.

/3 I mean, people disagreeing with you from the Left can be frivolous, fatuous, or feral, but being disagreed with from the Left is not the worst thing that can happen in American politics and why the fuck does it absolutely break so many people.

/2 It’s just hilarious how this situation has caused these brahs to just completely melt down and erupt with every resentment and grievance they’ve ever accumulated in their careers of saying banal things for clicks and money

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

America's Sleeping Giant roared when police attacked civil rights marchers. And after tens of thousands of young Americans were killed in Vietnam. And when Nixon tried to cover up Watergate. Today it roars once more — at the tyrant in the Oval Office.

France put their criminal former president in prison, we still can too.

Trump demanding $230 million from the DOJ, that he controls, is a shakedown of the American taxpayers so that Trump can line his own pockets. “There’s a government shutdown happening right now across the street, and on the other end of Pennsylvania Avenue, they’re tearing down the East Wing.”

Ah yes, the cop tense. “The agent’s weapon discharged.” I have never seem any news outlet describe it this way when a civilian shoots someone.

In what would be one of the most corrupt acts of any President, Trump asks the DOJ for $230 million from the lawsuits he was fighting when he became President. This is the only job he has ever had that’s been profitable, at our expense. #ProudBlue#Voices4Victory #OneV1 apple.news/AgDiAbDCsQUm...

SNAP CUTS PLEASE LISTEN TRUMP'S SHUTDOWN

You’ll notice that the media couldn’t stop attacking President Biden over his age as he was trying clean up the country but they’re perfectly fine with the orange convicted felon bulldozing the White House for his own amusement and gratification. They deliberately failed democracy.

So glad we’re wasting more of our tax money on unwinnable lawsuits. My likely opponent, Gracey Van Der Mark, is part of this gaggle of culture war freaks!
