Hegseth: “We untie the hands of our warfighters to intimidate, demoralize, hunt and kill the enemies of our country,” Trump: “Now with the death of Iran, the greatest enemy America has is the Radical Left, Highly Incompetent, Democrat (sic) Party!”

Did James Talarico tell his grandmother that he thought he might be gay? Oh, no! That was JD Vance! Has James Talarico been in a 15 year mentor-protégé relationship with gay billionaire Peter Thiel? Oh, no! That was JD Vance! Did James Talarico pose in drag? Oh, no! That was JD Vance!

No, Antifa didn't attack the Capitol No, the election wasn't stolen No, the insurrectionists weren't tourists No, we're not going to forget & forgive No, it's not time to move on No, we're not going to let Trump get away with trying to overthrow the gov't. #ProudBlue #Pinks #SheShed

AP: Renee Good's family is suing the federal government, ICE officer Jonathan Ross, and senior Trump officials, nine months after she was shot and killed in Minneapolis. I wish the family the best of luck in getting justice for Renee. #ProudBlue #Pinks #SheShed

That cocky, misplaced look of smug success on Senator Eric Schmitt’s face—moments before everything came crashing down around him because he’s so carelessly incompetent.

The punishment for the disgusting Cornell rapists was to simply write an essay about their heinous crime whilst women can be thrown in jail for using abortion healthcare services. That’s the fucked up timeline we’re living in.

Fuck this guy. He is not a thing we should get behind.

Newsom has vetoed a bill that would have prohibited future governors from handing over abortion providers, helpers, and patients to red states for criminal prosecution. The bill also barred extraditions involving transgender care.

Texas: a billboard outside the Dilley detention center, where at least 60 kids have been held 100+ days against a 20-day court limit. D.C.: a wall of posters. Florida: the sky. They can drive past it. They can't say no one told them.

Ivanka, Eric, Tiffany, and Don Jr: Please come an collect your father. He is insane and a danger to both himself and the planet. I'm kidding! I know you don't care about him—or anything other than money—that much.

The Hill: Rep. Thomas Massie read off over a dozen names of what he said were “Epstein co-conspirators” on the House floor. Massie's "The Epstein Files Transparency Act II" gives state AG’s access to Epstein files required to prosecute perpetrators under state law.

This is fucked up. Democracy is over until we reclaim it.

16/ Every one of these campaigns needed one thing to work: nobody checking. The checking is the whole ballgame. Ask who funds the group, ask why the comments are identical, ask why nobody using their own name would say it like that. Keep asking. That’s the only defense there is.

FOX NEWS: If you're a young person and you're disenchanted, you can't afford a home, you're having trouble with healthcare & you feel failed by the economy, what is the Republican alternative? MIKE JOHNSON: Well, the answer is not to turn everything over to the government, because that never works

I don’t care what side of the aisle you’re on - if your position is that the president of the United States and his family should be immune from IRS scrutiny, you’re unqualified to be the Attorney General. It’s an indictment on our entire system that 50 GOP Senators don’t agree.

ME: "Saudi Arabians were behind 9/11" THEM: "We must do something!" ME: "Saudi Arabian royalty just had a journalist working in America murdered and hacked to pieces with a bone saw." THEM: "We must do something!" ME: "What are you going to do?" THEM: "Give them nukes?"

CNN: Trump has promoted companies on his truth social account just days after he bought stock in those companies. (Didn't Martha Stewart go to jail for using information she had that hadn't been made public yet to buy and sell stocks? This seems worse than that to me.)

Ossoff has been so Oss-on

The Bulwark@thebulwark.com

Ossoff: “You refuse to answer a simple matter of the fact about the 2020 election.” Clayton: “I’ve given you my answer.” Ossoff: “What is your answer?” Clayton: *doesn’t answer* Ossoff: “Isn’t it humiliating to be unable to answer this question?”

the food safety stuff is another reminder that a large, huge, gigantic part of being a republican is going “lmao why are we spending money to prevent horrifying disasters from happening if they never happen 🤪”

MARCO RUBIO: “Let me explain this in simple English: Iran is run by lunatics, religious fanatic lunatics.’ IRAN: “Let me explain this in simple English: The United States is run by lunatics, religious fanatic lunatics.”

Good lord, I hope the Democratic leadership listens.

In case some of the “talking heads” are missing it, this is the magnetic north of the Dem party: 1) get money out of politics 2) get America out of forever wars 3) stop using our money and political power to abet genocide 4) Medicare for all 5) tax the rich and corporations 6) regulate AI

Musk's gutting of USAID killed hundreds of thousands, possibly millions. He has used his net worth to stoke hatred against people he dislikes and to fuel white supremacy. So no, I don't think he is uplifting humanity.
