Not Much Fun

HUGE: Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche — Trump's former personal lawyer who was also responsible for Ghislaine Maxwell's transfer to a cushy club fed — has intervened to block the DEA from providing details of a mysterious Epstein investigation to my Finance Committee team.

A DOGE staffer assigned to the National Endowment for the Humanities to flag grants for "DEI" tries to explain what "DEI" is. This deposition is part of a lawsuit by the @acls1919.bsky.social, @historians.org and @modernlanguage.bsky.social.

WELCH: Mr. Yoho is also the husband of your former spokesperson, Tricia McLaughlin? NOEM: Yes WELCH: So your former assistant and her husband are the ones that got the DHS no bid contract for $143m. Any dispute about that? NOEM: No.

LINDSEY GRAHAM: Our goal is to make sure Iran cannot become again the largest state sponsor of terrorism. WELKER: Does the the president have a plan to guarantee that happens? GRAHAM: No. It's not his job.

Even by cult standards, this is just bonkers.

Oh look Tage Thompson just doubled down on his career ender and pretended it had something to do with his "religion" www.usmagazine.com/sports/news/...

A White House staffer is running an anonymous pro-MAGA X account with nearly 300,000 followers. The account, JohnnyMAGA, has never disclosed formal ties, blurring the lines of official WH messaging and organic digital support. www.wired.com/story/a-whit...

It will be tough for America’s global reputation to recover after this absolutely shameful vote.

In which two Canadian sportstalk radio guys teach one dumb ass American hockey writer why the actions of the US Hockey Team in the wake of winning their gold medal were wrong. Honestly, great work by Halford & Brough. www.sportsnet.ca/650/halford-...

The NHL has a troubling affinity for guys who cover up for pedophiles. They even brought Joel Quenneville back. These players really seem to love Patel and Trump — adding to the disgrace, many are from Minnesota. The NHL is certainly not getting any money from me, after over 40 years of being a fan.

Here’s a screen recording of the video where Kash Patel has Trump on the phone with the U.S. men’s hockey team and Trump invites them all to the SOTU, adding that he’ll have to invite the women’s team as well (to laughter from the men) or else he’ll be impeached

Not sure why this video is so hard to find on Bluesky, it’s all over X. Absolutely shameful. bsky.app/profile/katt...

I will continue to post more images as I get them. #TheAlliedForces

Here's shortly video of his detention, full video coming.

Jon Stewart on Israel’s "Urgent" Iran Strike, Minnesota Murders & MAGA’s Blame Game youtu.be/3Q08a7BI9XI

The GOP-led Senate Finance Committee released its proposal for President Donald Trump’s agenda bill that calls for enacting sweeping cuts to Medicaid and preventing a multi-trillion dollar tax hike on Americans.

Sen. Tina Smith pulled Sen. Mike Lee aside in the Senate shortly after she landed in Washington, D.C. “I wanted him to hear directly from me about how painful that was and how wrong that was,” Smith said in an interview.

But on Elon’s Twitter, all that is true and amplified with the world’s biggest microphone. I’m sure your gardening club or Calgary Flames fan group or whatever is super important though.

WE HAVE QUESTIONS… This is a kidnapping. No uniform, no badge, civilian car. Who are they? ICE? Sanctioned bounty hunters? Either way, they’re grabbing people without warrants. How often is this happening, and why aren’t more people talking about it? Congress?

Democratic senators need to stop pretending that GOP senators are their “good friends across the aisle” and realize many of them are just lying sociopaths who are actively fanning the flames of violence against them.

If anyone wants to politely tell Mike Lee’s staff the real political identity of this shooter, his DC office number is 202-224-5444.

I know there's a lot going on, but the Secretary of Homeland Security declaring that federal troops are in California and Los Angeles to "liberate" the state and city from its duly-elected leaders really is a fourteen-alarm fire.

Las Vegas police immediately arrest two livestreamers when one of them insults an officer after an anti-ICE protest ("honor your oath, bitch"). "You need to learn there's rules: don't run your mouth at me."

Kristi Noem, Dr. Phil, and ICE went to this woman’s home in Huntington Park, CA at 6am to make a spectacle and you want me to be satisfied with @governor.ca.gov flowery words? Watch. It’s disgusting. Noem belongs in prison.

Florida sheriff warns protesters ahead of nationwide rallies: ‘We will kill you dead’

Here's another angle from Fox News reporter Bill Melugin of Sen. Alex Padilla getting roughed up by law enforcement after he tries to question Kristi Noem at her presser: “I’m Senator Alex Padilla. I have questions for the secretary. Because the fact of the matter is, a half dozen... Hands off!”

This is outrageous. Trump is preparing to send Ukrainians and other European allies to Guantanamo 🤬 Call Congress please!! www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

What this woman says is incredibly important. The eyes of the world are upon us. Our fight is to save America from the tyranny of a fascist authoritarian dictator-wannabe. The constitution and democracy is under assault by a sitting president. The enemy of the people is Trump. 🇺🇸

Absolutely bonkers — Joni Ernst doubles down on her “we are all gonna die” defense of Medicaid cuts while walking through a cemetery

ICE wrestled Alabama worker to the ground & detain him for hours—he is a U.S. citizen. Young man was begging & shouting, "I am a U.S. citizen"—but that didn't stop ICE agents from dragging him off to a detention center.

“I will not yield to disrespectful men.” - Rep. @aoc.bsky.social

Chris Murphy: "Let's be clear what this trip is all about. This is President Trump's corruption tour of the Middle East. He is going to the gulf to collect tribute. What's happening here is an extraordinary level of corruption. We shouldn't pretend this is business as usual."

"I do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."

Son of immigrants, Marco Rubio, calls human beings "despicable" and wants to dump them in other countries like trash. Since he loves authoritarian cruelty so much, he should deport himself to Cuba’s dictatorship and stop violating the rule of law. If despicable has a face in this story—It’s him.

Yesterday, a top Trump Administration official made an apparent threat to arrest me. Here’s my message to Wisconsinites. I encourage you to take a few minutes to watch. ⬇️

Trump is a dipshit simpleton. He doesn’t understand that tens of thousands of troops were killed and wounded between May and August of 1944, so May 8th as Victory Day for WWII makes no sense from as a starting point. Fuck off, Trump!

OMG I'M SCREAMING 😂😂

Q: "What would have happened to you if you had shared battle plans like this when you were a pilot?" Rep. Mikie Sherrill: "Like everyone else except Pete Hegseth, evidently, I would've been court-marshaled and drummed out of the military. This is absolutely ridiculous."

Protest in St Paul, Minnesota today. Good to see so many people who are demanding the end of Trump’s administration.

“Well, well, well, what do we have here?” U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi said as she held up the weapon with a rubber glove theonion.com/doj-pla...

MUST WATCH: U.S. Congressman Tom Burchett just proposed sending American citizens to El Salvador’s infamous prisons — where inmates are starved, tortured, and stripped naked for days. That’s a public declaration of state violence against citizens.

When Andrew Tate was charged with rape and human trafficking, Trump intervened to fly him back to the US. When a working-class father of a disabled 5-year-old child was wrongfully deported and charged with NO crime, Trump refuses to lift a finger.

Nevada Republican Governor Joe Lombardo at a private dinner: "And those stupid protests that occur in the state capital and is paid by the Democratic Party. That momentum and those crowds sizes isn’t because they're pissed...It’s because they're getting paid. So don’t lose sight of that."

Huge crowd in St Paul, Minnesota protesting Trump/Musk and the rest of the wannabe dictatorship.

A fired HHS worker asks a senator about layoffs that are hurting services for “people with disabilities” and asks what he’ll do to help them. Once the senator is safely behind his staff in the elevator, he ignores the suffering & replies that the worker is a “clown” who “deserved” to be fired.
