Senile Satan: “The fake news, they searched the arena. There are thousands of people outside, they searched the arena for a seat.” I wonder why the “thousands of people” didn’t come inside. There were plenty of empty seats.

It’s a feature, not a bug. MAGA is the “big tent” party. Racists, pedophiles, Nazis, KKK, white nationalists, corrupt business tycoons, swindlers… all welcome.

Currently, this imported beef… horse? Meat story needs more attention, and someone should probably get a genome sequence on it. The destruction of public lands. China and Taiwan (and South Korea…) The destruction of public lands. This week has been stupid.

Dozens of gas-burning power plants are being built across the country, solely to power data centers. These plants could emit as much planet-warming pollution as half of all passenger vehicles in the entire country in a single YEAR. We need a data center moratorium — now.

Texans, vote for Gina Hinojosa! She hangs out with Willie, she doesn't want to kill pregnant women and force feed Christian sharia law down your throats. It's time to push Greg right on out of the governor's mansion in Austin.

I think impeachment is likely, but I’m skeptical on conviction/removal. It really all depends on how well we do in the midterms, but it would have to be a spectacular blowout to get us anywhere near conviction numbers. Let’s make that the goal.

Trump ripped up the walkway between the West Wing and the mansion to replace it with polished African granite carved in Italy. "Paid for by me," he claimed. Except that's not true. Taxpayers paid $689,232, per documents obtained by @michaelscherer.bsky.social www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

The editorial cartoonist's pen is one of the sharpest tools in journalism, whittling issues down to basics for satire or rage. I'm proud to say that my long-ago colleague, Milt Priggee, is unafraid to shock with a tough point of view.

ICE IS DETAINING HUMAN BEINGS IN INHUMANE CONDITIONS. REPORTS OF PEOPLE BEING SHOT, STRIPPED AND NEGLECTED ARE OUTRAGEOUS. IMMIGRANT RIGHTS ARE HUMAN RIGHTS, AND WE DEMAND ACCOUNTABILITY. NO ONE SHOULD BE TREATED LIKE THIS. STAND UP, SPEAK OUT AND DEFEND DIGNITY. ICE AND RIGHTS.

How the fuck is the president and Secretary of State at a UFC fight in Miami while war negotiations affecting the world economy are falling apart. And I know that MFer isn’t going to try to play golf tomorrow too.

They need 7 Democratic Senators or to kill the filibuster. I think it's low but not impossible. We'd need a fund to help people obtain passports who don't have the means to pay for it if they get it across the line.

Reminder: DHS nominee Markwayne Mullin is one of the most active stock-traders in the Senate — and violated the STOCK Act against insider trading as recently as last August. He currently holds stock in L3Harris, which has millions in contracts with ICE and FEMA. The grift continues.

The United States is contemplating threatening to kill people with HIV in another country as leverage to get that country's minerals. We have become a sick nation, just as depraved and disgusting as its leader.

When I first started out as a journalist I thought it paid to have a background in US history when covering America. Then I thought it would probably be better to be a constitutional lawyer with expertise in jurisprudence. Now I think it would be useful to be a psychiatrist.

Himes: I have a theory on how this ends… You’re going to see oil go across $100… Projections for economic growth are going to go down. And at some point in 3-5 weeks, the president is going to say this is really not tenable. And he’s going to declare victory and walk away.
