HOLY SHIT - Tapper plays Johnson footage of GOP candidate Brandon Herrera describing moms as "cum trophies," mentions he called Nazi machine guns "the original ghetto blasters," & asks Johnson how he can support him. Mike says "he has run a very effective campaign ... that was his persona online"

Stevens is ten or so points down because she has responded to anger at regular Democrats by becoming more like a regular Democrat. These bastards don’t know how deep it runs. Regular Democrats aren’t even regular Democrats anymore.

Ken Paxton’s own party impeached him. His own staff reported him to the FBI. Now his own defense attorney is endorsing our campaign. Those closest to Ken Paxton know he's unfit for office.

More of this! More giant inflatable IUDs! Maybe some car dealership wavy guys that look like Nexplanon implants? Or skywriting a diagram of a tubal ligation? Birth control is FUN!

Swalwell: "I want to knock out this argument we even need ICE doing what they're doing in the first place. If they are so easily moved from our streets, where they are terrorizing people, to passing out bottles of water in the airport, did we really need them terrorizing people in the first place?"

Metro Surge continues to wreak absolute havoc in Minnesota schools. Teachers are in the completely untenable position of having divide all their classes into two - one in-person, one remote. Unlike COVID, there’s no extra support for remote teaching. In some schools it’s created crisis situations

Remember: There is nothing natural or inevitable about extreme inequality; it’s the result of an economic system that values wealth and power over human dignity and justice. It doesn't have to be this way.

Shame on Senator Tuberville: Keep New York City out of your bigoted mouth. This Jewish New Yorker is proud that we elected our first Muslim mayor. (2/2)

I can't even find the words to express how repugnant and despicable this post is. People who spew such Islamophobic bile don't belong in the United States Congress. The job of elected officials is to combat hate, not fan its flames. (1/2)

Iran has officially pulled out of the World Cup, stating that conditions in the US are not safe for players or fans. More countries must follow suit. The US will only respond to public pressure and financial retaliation. Boycott the World Cup. Boycott the Olympics. Boycott America.

Trump about to announce he's creating The Supremest Court, which you can join as an associate justice by buying $11 million of his shitcoin and agreeing to adopt Eric.

Trump on the Supreme Court's tariffs ruling: "Is a Rehearing or Readjudication of this case possible???"

A United States senator from the president's own party, one who serves on the Select Committee on Intelligence and the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations, has no idea what's going on as America goes to war with Iran.

the party that wants to require ID to vote abruptly invalidating a thousand people’s IDs overnight seems like a pretty giant flashing red light

When the going gets tough, the imitation tough attack a marginalized ethnic group with next to no ability to defend themselves. A reminder: almost all crime in America is committed by our fellow Americans; often by our neighbors and folks we know.

damn, Trump's surgeon general nominee Casey Means is a transparent bullshitter even by the standards of the regime. Watch how she's tries to blame Chris Murphy's staffers for the fact he has her dead to rights on being dishonest and corrupt.

Reminder: Means did not complete her residency, is not board-certified, and does not have an active medical license. She is incompetent already and not even in the job. WHY would anyone vote to confirm a person UNABLE to agree with herself, let alone science or facts (like no medical license)??

MARKEY: Do you think Trump's EO promoting glyphosate, which you've said likely causes cancer, will put families' health at risk? MEANS: These issues around ag & health are extremely complex. My understanding is this has to do with natl security MARKEY: I'm just trying to help you agree w/ yourself

Reminder: Means did not complete her residency, is not board-certified, and does not have an active medical license. She is loose with facts (at a minimum) and verifiably LIED to committee members repeatedly (past income sources, medical opinions published BY HER). She is untrustworthy and unfit!

Dr Oz, with Vance standing behind him, announces that "we're going to for the first time take a massive action to defer funds to a state," then details they are defending $259m of funding for Medicaid programs in Minnesota that take care of pregnant women, seniors, and people with disabilities

The media should cover this as murder because it is.

JD Vance: "We're announcing today that we have decided to temporarily halt certain amounts of Medicaid funding that is going to the state of Minnesota in order to ensure that the state of Minnesota takes its obligations seriously to be good stewards of the American people's tax money."

It's felt for months now that the fed govt is doing everything it can, including acts of violence, to make the Twin Cities unlivable. Vance's announcement shows that effort continues even if Trump's thugs aren't killing people in the street rn. I just don't see how this can go on for 3 more years.

I live in Minnesota and I want the federal government to stop trying to kill us. And hurt us. I want them to stop attacking us. It sucks. We’re just trying to live our lives and take care of each other and we don’t deserve all this. I kid around sometimes here but I’m not kidding now.

Relevant to this soft-glam fascist's comments today, there's a bill in Florida to ban prescribing birth control to minors—or even giving teens information about it—without parental consent. It's called HB 173 The attacks on contraception are, and have been, in motion

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

MURRAY: You called birth control pills 'a disrespect of life.' You also claimed it has 'horrifying health risks.' But there decades of evidence showing it's safe and effective. Should women trust the FDA or you? CASEY MEANS: Are you aware of what the side effects of what hormonal contraception are?

The ICE surge in Minnesota cost $280M to detain 4k people. Of those- only 30 were accused of violent crimes. $9 million per capture of the "worst of the worst". Renee Good and Alex Pretti were unavailable for comment….
