To be clear, vile asshole Vivek Ramaswamey is such a despicable piece of shit who knew he was losing that he thought making a campaign ad to exploit and shame a once 12 year old rape survivor would help him. I guess he forgot that only works for the white supremacists, not their self-hating tokens.

Trump confirmed his place as “the trashiest president ever” in his response to the death of Rober Muller. Trump pushishment should be living in a rusted trailer held up by cinder blocks, with a herd of feral cats and hounds barking all night. He ha a 1/4 acre in a FL for it.

How can there be so much curling. It has been going on for days! Do they have groups for everyone—nationality, age, groups. Do these people take potty breaks? Add classes for creative costumes. I think they should add toddler football, dog agility trials and soccer mom fights. JMO

ICE will be handling election security. Never again wonder why Russia was willing to spend billions getting Trump into office.

ON XAI IN MEMPHIS: “There’s a horrible, sulfurous smell in the air… residents don’t want to open their windows… BOXTOWN is 90% Black… Musk did everything behind closed doors… environmental racism… not many jobs, no direct investment in BOXTOWN…”

Stop accepting the cynical notion that “nothing can be done” about guns, or anything else for that matter. Every time you give up hope, the emperor has already won.

Measles outbreaks are spreading across the U.S., and the country is now at risk of losing its disease-elimination status. Infectious disease experts say this is directly tied to Trump appointing Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to lead HHS. Are we great yet?

Donald Trump said he’ll “be involved in” deciding if Netflix can buy Warner Bros. Is that an open invite for CEOs to curry favor with Trump in exchange for merger approvals? It should be an independent decision by the Department of Justice based on the law and facts.

Q: Should Netflix be allowed to buy Warner Brothers? TRUMP: That's a question. They have a very big market share. I'll be involved in that decision

Himes: "I think it's really important this video by made public ... it's important people see what it looks like when the full force of the US military is turned on two guys who are clinging to a piece of wood and about to go under just so they have a visceral feel for what it is we're doing"

Mark Kelly: "They are not silencing me. I'm still speaking out. I still am going to do my job every single day regardless of whether this president wants to kill me, hang me, execute me, or shut me up. I'm not gonna shut up."

I had another random fainting episode last Wednesday that sent me to the ER. This has been going on randomly for several years, but never correctly diagnosed. Now I know it is a automatic response to my severe back pain. I wish drs. saw people as individuals rather than research subjects.

HOPE WALZ: “What world are we f*cking living in? I draw the line at Gus. You people are f*cking disgraceful.” She says MAGA loyalists are now driving by their home and yelling “R*tard!” at her family and her special needs brother after Trump called GovTimWalz the R word.

If Bill Clinton's implicated, I'll simply have to burn my Bill Clinton shrine with all my Bill Clinton baseball caps and my Bill Clinton Bibles and my Bill Clinton t-shirts and my Bill Clinton playing cards and my Bill Clinton gold-plated coins and my Bill Clinton flags and my Bill Clinton shoes.

Any Democrat who "trusts" notoriously deceitful Republicans to keep their word on an ACA vote deal is too naive/stupid to be in office. Let's fix that next time they are up for election. #PrimaryTheIdiots

Go, @nickjudin.bsky.social! A standard at the @mississippifreepress.org is to question officialdom. No vapid stenography. Think. Ask.

"We did want to get the story out quickly," reporter @nickjudin.bsky.social told me. But something was off. "Why would a study have a grab bag of random viruses in a handful of primates? What study necessitates infecting primates and shipping them around the country? "It just didn’t add up."

Reporter: That was an ad run by a provincial government in Canada.  Trump: I don’t care Reporter: Why are you mad at the federal government? Trump: Because whether it's provincial or Canada itself, they all knew exactly what the ad was. The prime minister knew, everybody knew.

1. Reagan’s speech is real 2. It’s public domain 3. Americans pay the cost of the added 10% tariffs, not Canadians 4. Trump keeps lying because he thinks you’re all too stupid to fact check 5. The average family will pay an extra $4900 this year because his tariffs

Want to see how far right the Republican Party has gone? Watch George H. W. Bush and Ronald Reagan answer a question about illegal immigration during a 1980 debate. They wouldn’t even be allowed in today’s Republican Party.

Every day, it seems like we tick a little bit closer to midnight. Would be great if the GOP Congress would quit sleepwalking through this.

If a temporary resident of the White House can totally demolish the East Wing to build a gaudy ballroom, without any authority, approval, or regulation, he can tear down the rest of the White House to build a Walmart. That this destruction is allowed underscores how off the rails our country is now.
