“The only way it can’t happen here is through the action it takes to hold people accountable nonstop to where it can never happen here. The only way that it cannot happen here is if there’s an understanding that it could happen here.”
- Josh Johnson
The people who spent years defending and even lionizing Kyle Rittenhouse and Ashli Babbitt now want us to believe that an unarmed mother in her car and a disarmed nurse were domestic terrorists who deserved to be murdered by law enforcement.
Note to the entire world: Stop trying to manage Trump. Stop trying to work with him. He betrays everyone. Always. He is irrational. Erratic. The only way to stop his damage is to stop him, contain him, isolate him, reject him, stand up to him. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Homan: "We gotta stop the hateful rhetoric. Saying this officer is a murderer is dangerous. It's just ridiculous. It's gonna infuriate people more which means there's gonna be more incidents like this."

All this talk of a ballroom to service the super wealthy while the rest of us continue to pay more for healthcare and basic essentials makes me think of this powerful political cartoon from 1906, the artist is William Balfour Ker.
The man who just fired the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics because their numbers supposedly weren’t accurate just claimed that he lowered drug prices in America by 1500%.
Remember when we had a Constitution that said only Congress can declare war, because the Founders thought maybe it should be a considered decision reached in common by people of diverse views rather than just letting one person say oh hell, why not? Those were better days.
The head of Social Security had to Google what his job was, the acting head of FEMA didn’t know hurricane season exists, and the person in charge of preventing domestic terrorism is a 22-year-old former grocery stockboy and mower of lawns. Gotta love Trump’s #meritocracy.
Missouri is suing Starbucks for hiring too many female & nonwhite employees and discriminating against white men.
It clearly has not occurred to him that white men buy coffee en route to their higher-paying jobs that are less available to others, who thus must work at places like Starbucks.
Help spot the pattern…
❌Banned clubs at West Point: Black, Asian, Hispanic, women, and Native American heritage clubs
✅Not banned at West Point Military Academy: German, French, and Polish clubs
Can’t quite put my finger on it…
The FBI’s core values, including integrity, compassion, fairness, and allegiance to the Constitution - and oh, yeah, diversity, are being painted over at the FBI Academy. Source: NYT.
For a photo op & a bragging media post, Trump minions at the USACoE have thrown away millions of gals of #water farmers were relying on for later this year. This water will not be captured, will not be useful for cities or farms or firefighting. It is now lost.

“We will execute drug dealers” and “I have just pardoned the man who made the largest illegal drugs market in world history” seem to be slightly contradictory.
Here’s the difference between Democrats and Republicans
“Though not a single Republican legislator voted for the [Inflation Reduction Act], an outsized portion of its historic $1 trillion in climate and energy provisions has benefited red congressional districts and states that voted for Trump”
WELKER: Can you commit that California disaster relief won't have strings attached?
MIKE JOHNSON: No, I won't commit to that ... when state and local officials make foolish policy decisions that make the disaster exponentially worse, we need to factor that in.
I’m not convinced that sentencing Trump to probation was “unworkable”. He has secured gainful employment for the next four years and whose whereabouts are better monitored than the President of the United States? #TrumpIsAFelon
Ontario Premier Doug Ford has responded to Trump’s “make Canada a state” idiocy by offering that Canada should buy AK & MN. As a MN native living in AK for 20+ years, I say HECK YEAH LET’S DO THIS, eh!
The Israel-Hezbollah cease fire was announced several hours ago - but because it’s a significant foreign policy achievement on the part of the Biden Administration, Fox News is ignoring it entirely. #FauxNews
