Waking up to: Netanyahu's party on 27 seats BUT his bloc only on 55, 6 shy of what he needs for a coalition, and the parties opposing him on 65, 15 to Joint List and Ra'am. Bibi is spinning this as a win, of course, and gunning for a "national, right-wing govt" www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...

First, they are not windmills. They were wind turbines. Nothing is getting milled. But he's too stupid to know that. Second, his obsession is because he sued Scotland over wind turbines in the sea outside his golf course. And he lost. Third, plenty of countries harnessing wind power are solvent.

Darline Graham sits on the Judiciary and Appropriations Committees even though she was never elected to the U.S. Senate. These committees have enormous influence over federal spending, judicial confirmations, and the direction of our justice system. She has no business being on them.

FLASHBACK — Republican Paul Weyrich (co-founder of the Heritage Foundation & ALEC): “I don’t want everybody to vote… our leverage in elections goes up as the voting populace goes down.” They’ve been saying it out loud for years. Please vote. 🗳️ 🇺🇸

As a former teacher, I never scrubbed in for a gender reassignment surgery, but I did instruct the kids on how to get the window screens off in case of an active shooter…

Any town that agrees to host a Trump convention or rally that doesn't ask this notorious deadbeat for money in advance is ridiculously incompetent. Trump has stiffed MANY cities. It's a lesson he learned when he didn't pay his subcontractors during construction of buildings.

Weird propaganda ad during the World Series calling liberals the *new* racists. If true, aren’t the republicans implying that they’re the OG racists? Like “Yep, we’ve been the racists for the past 400 years. NOW it’s the liberals!”

Thank you to the Pretti family for their courage. Minnesotans have not forgotten.

Minnesota Star Tribune@startribune.com

Alex Pretti's father delivered a message to U.S. Attorney for Minnesota Dan Rosen and Attorney General Todd Blanche: “Look in your heart and do what is right, share the evidence now so prosecutors can follow the facts and hold these men accountable. Do your job and stop shielding Alex’s killers.”

NEW: The DOGE operative who gutted USAID -- firing thousands of employees and canceling lifesaving programs -- never actually signed the paperwork that's legally required for him to be employed by the agency.

wired.comA 28-Year-Old DOGE Operative Gutted USAID. HR Had No Record of Him Working ThereDespite the agency's human resources department saying he hadn’t even been onboarded, Jeremy Lewin oversaw the destruction of USAID. It’s not clear he had the legal authority to do so.

Corrupt cowardly pendejo Marco Rubio helped dictator-wannabe criminal Flavio Bolsonaro and his family flee from Brazil to the US after losing the election and says he will issue them visas. The MAGA regime won’t grant asylum to people fleeing war zones, but they’ll protect a terrorist. Got it.

The US government poured all its resources into fabricating evidence that day laborer Kilmar Abrego Garcia was a criminal (all because he embarrassed the despot) even as it now rolls out the red carpet for an actual criminal who happens to be an ally of Trump

“As I reported hours ago, Flávio Bolsonaro has arrived safely in United States. The mastermind behind this operation is U.S. Secretary of State @SecRubio . From the United States, free and safe, Flávio will lead the opposition against Lula.” - Simon Levy … WTF???? 1/

Wow! I was not expecting that.

Alaska authorities strongly oppose the Trump DOJ’s attempted “interference” in the election. This is significant because there were concerns the state—which sought to DQ the second Sullivan—would take the same side. But it didn’t. Quite the contrary. buff.ly/EJHtDpX

Love ya, Kamala Harris, but hard disagree. Impeach in the House. Don’t care if the Senate doesn’t convict. If I swore an oath to uphold the Constitution, I’d feel duty-bound to impeach in the House. To at least try. And to be as much of a thorn in the side to this administration as I could be.

Kamala Harris: I think that going in the direction of impeachment is not a good idea. I was in the Senate for the last go-round, and the votes aren’t there. I think after the election, we all have to just also agree that our attitude has to be to get stuff done…

It’s just so appalling and enraging how casual and commonplace this has become. I’m out of words.

just heartbreaking stuff Alex Pretti's mother calls out ICE and the Trump administration for killing her son and smearing his name, and calls for justice to be done.

Good grief.

Trump: "So I'm studying him. And I made the mistake of saying that I started off by studying his ass. I just wantasink. And then I looked at his feet & they were massive. I made the mistake of studying his anatomy. Maybe I should do that with Ken Paxton, but I'm not sure your body is gonna qualify."

Things have changed, public sentiment has changed. The people want, nay, the people demand justice.
