Why bother calling your Senator and telling them to vote NO on Todd Blanche for Attorney General even though Trump will keep him in the job regardless? Because history should record the NO vote.
You’ll want it on the record that we rejected him. That’s why.
To my Republican colleagues who know better but remain silent in the face of mounting violence and corruption, I ask this sincerely: why did you come to Congress? Was it to defend the Constitution, the rule of law, and the people you represent, or to look the other way when it becomes inconvenient?
He didn't shoot her in the head at point blank range because he felt like he was in danger. He shot her in the head at point blank range because he was furious that she wasn't afraid of him. He shot her in the head at point blank range because he felt emasculated.
Rep. @AOC: I understand that Vance believes shooting a young mother of three in the face three times is an acceptable America that he wants to live in, and I do not. That is a fundamental difference between Vance and I. I do not believe that the American people should be assassinated in the street.
With atmospheric rivers, intense rainfall, and strong winds ahead, I’m declaring a state of emergency in Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, San Diego, and Shasta counties to activate emergency authorities and preposition resources to keep our communities safe.
What does it say about this country that that the kind of open, rank bigotry Trump administration officials regularly express towards black immigrants apparently has no social cost because of the number of Americans who quietly agree or don't care.
“Few cults survive the passing of their leaders, and MAGA will not outlive the departure of Donald Trump from the White House or from this earth, whichever comes first.”
Over the last 3 months, Home Depot’s and Spotify’s stocks have plummeted by 20%. This is what we, the people, will do to any company that sides with Trump’s fascist regime.

Right wing troll who pretends to live in places he does not is upset with Twitter for revealing his actual location. How's he supposed to con people if it does that? So not fair!!!
Parents, if you have time to read anything today (and the capacity to feel rage), then these new allegations against two of the largest social media companies, and their apparent disregard of you and your kids’ relationships and mental health, should be it.
Donald Trump could have just kept his mouth shut about Jamal Khashoggi.
But to smear a dead journalist, while sitting with the person accused of orchestrating his murder is just vile.
Every time this administration hits rock bottom, a trap door seems to open.
Cretin behavior.
Tonight I’m raising a glass to the women standing up to the most ruthless and violent institutions and people on the planet, in the halls of Congress and the White House, in skrums and online. This isn’t easy, and thousands of people with more safety and comfort aren’t doing it at all.
"This could take down Democrats, too."
I know. And I frankly wouldn't give even an itty bitty damn if it implicated every Democratic man in Congress, every Democratic hopeful for 2028 and every Democrat who has even thought about running for office.
Down with the sex predators, wherever they are.
As we reflect on the legacy of the strongest Speaker in American history, we are watching the weakest in real time.
A few words on the cowardice and supplication of Mike Johnson.
Don't forget that Zohran Mamdani spent his entire campaign standing proudly beside the trans community. He went to trans rights rallies just to show support. He proudly waved trans rights flags without hesitation. He refused to back down in support of trans rights. That makes me happy.
Congratulations to all the Democratic candidates who won tonight. It’s a reminder that when we come together around strong, forward-looking leaders who care about the issues that matter, we can win. We’ve still got plenty of work to do, but the future looks a little bit brighter.
Once again, @mcsweeneys.net does not miss.

"In 2004, you saw some college guy using me and thought, 'What a lazy cheater.'
Now you’d think, 'At least he’s not asking Gemini.'
In a few years, you’ll say, 'Wow, look, a human being who can read.'"
Wasn't expecting this, but watching the felon king tear down the White House East Wing gave me the same vibes as when I watched the MAGAts storming the capital on January 6th.
America desecrated.
Well done, Kendra! This is what courage looks like! I protested safely with tens of thousands in San Diego, and never had to worry about being threatened/harmed. This image inspires me as much (if not more) than the ones from major cities. I hope someone else is brave enough to join her next time.
Hero’s of the day - In a small town of Beckley, WV, Kendra Sullivan staged a one-woman No Kings protest. She was confronted, had the police called on her, but stood her ground. She was physically threatened. Police came more than once and protected her right to protest. This is how we do it.
Take note of all these people turning out for protests in small towns in red states.
Remember them the next time you’re inclined to write an area off because “they voted for this.”
I’ve seen just one counter-protester at No Kings San Diego. He’s got a Trump 2024 flag and this guy has been following him around for probably an hour playing Benny Hill and circus music.
HAPPENING NOW: A MASSIVE crowd of protesters flood the streets of San Diego for a “No Kings Day” rally showing their love for America and standing up against the corrupt fascist Trump administration. look how huge it is
Mike Johnson: "If you're a young, pregnant American citizen women who shows up in an ER and you get treated and they pay the hospital less for treating you than some illegal rabble rouser who came in from some South American country to do us harm, that is wrong."
FYI. If the Govt shuts down, everyone stays in town including the president but you’re just bored with nothing to do because it’s all messaging and negotiations.
GREAT TIME TO RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES
Hegseth: "A few months ago I was at the White House when President Trump announced his liberation day for America's trade policy. It was a landmark day. Well, today is another liberation day. The liberation of America's warriors ... you kill people and break things for a living."
