I love Kamala, but this is some classic Dem bullshit.

Prof. Anthea Butler@antheabutler.bsky.social

What Kamala Harris proposes in not impeaching Trump is this the same reason why letting Jefferson Davis and the rest of the Confederate soldiers and leaders off the hook was a bad idea.. We've been paying for it ever since😡

God bless Cassidy Hutchinson. And the grand jury system. And the rule of law.

Grand jury declines to indict Patriot as Trump’s DOJ attempted to seek vengeance against her for doing the right thing. 🇺🇸 www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Reminding everyone that I’ve been advocating for criminalizing lying by public officials and candidates for public office on material matters pertaining to the public interest for the last five years. We’re about to be reminded why it is critical to our democracy’s survival.

Can we all just acknowledge at this point that the Brexit and MAGA movements were astoundingly effective political campaigns by uber wealthy people with zero moral/ethical bearing who convinced the general public they were victims and then seized control to fuck the general public?

“Emergency responders were heard in dispatch audio reporting that they were performing CPR on an unconscious individual suffering cardiac arrest at the senator’s Washington address last month on the morning he was hospitalized.”

I’m not saying that Republicans posted a doctored photo to make everyone think McConnell is alive, but how do you square his alleged claims not to have suffered a heart attack with this passage from the Times?

Hilarious that people were asking for a day off from school for kids to attend the ticker tape parade. It’s a time-honored tradition in New York that you cut school for these things. Kids these days. SMH.

Feeling overwhelmed with all of this. LISTEN. Another Louisiana resident (Marshawn is the only name we have) testifies against the state’s racial gerrymander, speaking truth to power up and down the hearing room and predicts how this story will end. Speak your truth, fight and believe.

I got an email from Amtrak 30 minutes ago telling me my train is delayed indefinitely. When I tried to switch to an earlier regional train with seats available, it said I couldn’t make the change at that time. But wouldn’t you know it I could book the Acela for $200 more. Thanks a lot, @amtrak.com.

I love seeing Post headlines juxtaposed against Mamdani’s sky high ratings and the fact he has absolutely crushed it on the ground in his first month. Did Bill Ackman move to Tempe yet?

Omg. WTF is Happening?@lalahaenzy.bsky.social

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again. #Pinks #ProudBlue

More and more Americans are voicing their outrage at the tactics being deployed by federal agents in Minnesota. But it’s important to understand the broader implications of what this administration is doing, and the threat it poses to the basic freedoms of every American.

It's reassuring to drop into Twitter, see some MAGA ass clown write some dumb shit about how Pretti was attacking federal agents, and then watch the community bum rush him. People are starting to realize that the emperor has no clothes, no matter how hard he insists otherwise.

The really scary thing about the core of this administration is that they all know that the moment it ends, their careers in public life are finished, and many of them are likely going to prison. There is no coming back from this shame. So they're all doubling down.

It's almost like they don't have a choice. The irony, of course, is that they DO have a choice, and if they made the right choice right now, they might just save themselves from the fate of being cast out into the wilderness, as they so richly deserve.

Rubio is such a preposterous clown. It's hard to believe he was ever a legitimate candidate for President. What changed? Oh yeah, he got on his knees for Trump. How does he face his family? This is a man who knows that as soon as this administration is done, he's done.

DUCKWORTH: The administration has acknowledged that the vast majority of the men it rounded up and deported to torture under this law had no criminal record RUBIO: We didn't torture anybody. Who did we torture?

😂 We have a winner.

Greg Bovino sadly filling one steamer trunk after another with elaborate fashy overcoats, the teargas canisters he always has bouncing around on him like labubus, and dozens of "chest-belts." They will be shipped ahead of him as he prepares to return to his home, which is a men's size 10 boot.

There's something deeply ironic about Bluesky being such a hotbed of WWE fans. I mean, if you think about it, WWE (or WWF, as it was known in my day) was basically a tutorial for King Douche in the White House. Performance is all that matters. Substance is for suckers.

i have long believed that every Trump supporter is either stupid or evil, and no pair perfectly illustrates that dichotomy as well as Stephen and Katie Miller
