Q: “Senator Sullivan, why did you refuse to meet with Epstein survivors and then vote to confirm Blanche?” Dan Sullivan: “I’ve done more for domestic violence supporters than anybody.” Dan Sullivan voted to block release of the Epstein files and protect pedophiles.

I spoke with Mitch McConnell today for about 20 min. He apologized for not convicting Trump for January 6th and said that Lindsey Graham is a sissy who is too scared to bring Russian sanctions forward despite promising it for a year. It was a pleasant conversation

“The Last Republican” — now free to watch on YouTube. “A compelling portrait of political courage in an era when courage is in short supply.” “It’s less a political documentary than a study of the personal cost of telling the truth in modern politics.” youtu.be/HmL_2PKL9o4?...

Two weeks ago this guy announced he was providing legal help to the agent who shot Renee Good. That's how quickly the winds are shifting.

pretty wild statement re: Republican Chris Madel drop from race for MN governor: "Saying he cannot support the national GOP's 'stated retribution on citizens of our state, nor can I count myself a member of a party that would do so."

5 years removed from when he helped barricade the House Chamber fearing for his life…he ONLY escaped because our actions (the officers). We risked our lives protecting him. He has no integrity, moral conviction or honor.

VAN SUSTEREN: The church -- that's a particularly troubling issue because you got a pastor, I purposely didn't name it, he's reportedly associated with ICE NOEM: Thank you for not naming him. People don't realize that when you keep naming someone over and over, you increase the threats against them

This is the best speech, just from a pure rhetoric perspective - its sophistication and persuasiveness - that I've seen a politician deliver in a good long while. Really recommend watching or reading the whole thing.

Any DoJ attorney who participates in this investigation should suffer professional and social shunning that makes it effectively impossible to continue to work as an attorney.

I am convinced the conservative majority of the Supreme Court knows that Trump is awful. I think they believe that the modern administrative state shields the country from many of the actions of terrible leaders. I believe they think we fucked around by electing him, and we need to find out.

It’s important to flood social media and news channels with news about how ICE lies, so that potential jurors see it.

There is a real possibility that Charlie Kirk’s death will serve as a pretext for authoritarian purges. And our political culture does not have much experience with that. Mainstream reporters and politicians are not in the habit of recognizing or naming it.

No one knows exactly what was on the Venezuelan boat that was struck by the US military, but the fact that the strike was okayed by the president’s son suggests that there was no cocaine aboard.

One wonders if any NYTimes, Washington Post, CNN, MSNBC or other mainstream journalists watch the Tucker Fucking Carlson dismantling of Ted Cruz and appropriately hang their heads in shame.

As long as they’re hiding their faces, badges and names we should stop calling them “federal agents.” Call them masked goons or unidentified thugs or whatever, unless and until they provide proper ID.

Here's a longer video of Brad Lander's detention just now inside 26 Federal Plaza as he tried to walk a man out of immigration court, by masked federal agents.

I once had lunch with WWE Superstar Ken Kennedy, and not knowing who he was asked him what he did for work. His agent was also at this lunch, and when Mr. Kennedy shot him an incredulous look after my question, his agent quietly said "Not your demographic."

BREAKING: California Governor Gavin Newsom delivers a 'major address' in response to the Trump admin.'s actions in L.A. "Authoritarian regimes begin by targeting people who are least able to defend themselves, but they do not stop there," Newsom said.

pewgetsound reposted

Reporter: There’s a pretty good chance Trump might be watching Newsom: I hope so, he might learn something— rescind this order— it’s illegal. You’re creating the conditions you claim you’re solving and you’re not

not sure there's a more embarrassing profession than ICE agent. Oh, you dress like a soldier to abduct sous chefs and throw flashbangs at protesters? Get a real job you loser
