Last month the NYT said AOC "struggled" to give an answer on Taiwan and quoted her with "uhs" and "ums" to make her look stupid Yesterday talking about Hormuz Trump claimed he's heard from "numerous countries" and said "uh" four times. The NYT deleted the "uhs" and paraphrased him to look smarter:

It’s crazy that he is negotiating on behalf of the U.S. at all. He has no government appointment and no one elected him and he has no business being in those meetings even without the grift

While Jared Kushner is negotiating on behalf of the United States with governments in the Middle East, he is also soliciting investments in his private business ventures from the same governments www.nytimes.com/2026/03/13/b...

To be clear to historians: Despite what contemporary government propagandists insist, absolutely no one in America sincerely believes that Iran is a threat to us. Pretty much everyone knows this is a stupid and pointless war, but we are essentially hostages in a police state.

Trump shows up over a million times in the unredacted Epstein files. And that's the half they released. Imagine what's in the half they didn't release. That means that the DOJ redacted Trump's name about 950K times in the 3M documents they released. www.axios.com/2026/02/10/t...

No. We don’t need to “modify ICE training.” We need to close DHS. Dismantle it. It’s an outdated expensive bureaucracy that’s been usurped by violent white supremacists. Shut it down.

Um, you're not allowed to go door-to-door hoping to randomly find someone violating the law. You need a warrant. That's is basic Constitutional shit.

JD Vance: "It was a legitimate law enforcement operation. We were going door to door to try to find criminal illegal aliens and deport them from the United States ... say a prayer for that agent ... he deserves a debt of gratitude."

If "centrists" want to run on "kitchen table" issues that mean something locally, here's $170,000,000,000 to play with!

🗽LOLGOP🗽@lolgop.bsky.social

Democrats should absolutely demand that the $170 billion given to DHS, ICE, and Border Patrol to build a kidnapping machine that preys on Americans should be clawed back and spent on whatever their state or district actually needs.

This is a disgusting display. Republicans are nearly universally without honor, decency, or courage.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Sen. Lankford blatantly lies about what the video of Renee Good's killing shows: "A classic law enforcement moment -- they have to fire their weapon and then when you see her car crash, law enforcement is running to her to provide aid. They're never looking to be able to take a life of individuals."

One of the core purposes of right-wing media is to rewrite your memory and reprogram your moral response to an event you saw with your own eyes. George Floyd died of a heart attack. Jan 6 was a peaceful picnic. This process has already begun

No one should ever have the power to autonomously cancel hundreds of millions of dollars for scientific research based on some lies they saw on YouTube.

Republicans, before you vote to close 1 of 4 nursing homes, can you update us on where those people will go? Maybe call a few seniors in your state and go over plans for where they go next? Or call the son whose dad has dementia and tell him how he can be a full-time caregiver?

Elizabeth Warren@warren.senate.gov

BREAKING: 1 in 4 nursing homes say they will be forced to close if Republicans pass Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill. No grandma should be kicked out of her nursing home so that Mark Zuckerberg can buy another Hawaiian island.

A HUGE scandal. Someone told Emil Bove he should defy the courts. Who could that possibly have been? Who told him he should drop charges against Eric Adams for a quid pro quo? There must be a full investigation to find out who.

Deborah Pearlstein@debpearlstein.bsky.social

“Bove stated that D.O.J. would need to consider telling the courts ‘fuck you’ and ignore any such order.” This story is just a blockbuster in every way - exposing Bove & others to both contempt and a suite of bar ethics charges. Hope to add more as time permits, but the whistleblower a hero.

Trump announces at Fort Bragg that he is going to restore the names of other military bases that are named after Confederate generals, getting a big cheer from the troops for Robert E. Lee.
