I escaped from the Dirty Bird and made a soft landing here. It's been soul-cleansing to get away from the hate speech, and it's lovely to see old friends here, too.

Lieu: "I want the White House to send Kevin Hassett to every single TV channel and to every single swing House district where he can tell the voters of America that hurting consumers is 'the last of our concerns.'"

Burger King ran multiple 'nostalgia' ads during the Oscars, which probably cost a couple million bucks. In-N-Out just got the best ad ever—an Oscar-winning Michael B. Jordan eating and posing at its restaurant—for free.

This is dope.

Any negotiations with #Russia are doomed at least until global oil prices fall, and this situation could drag on for a long time. The war in the Middle East has effectively removed one of Putin’s main incentives to make a deal.

A new poll shows that 3 in 5 Australians (62%) support access to abortion, a further 25% support access to abortion only in limited circumstances, and 8% do not. Most Australians across all voting intentions support access to abortion, with the highest support amongst Green Party voters.

Masuma Khan has lived in Altadena for nearly 30 years. Last year, despite having no criminal history, she was detained by ICE and denied the medication she needed to breathe. Her family contacted my office, and we successfully advocated for her release.

"The troops"--and I used to be one--know quite well the money is not going to go where it is really needed to support them, so people like Tapper can fuck right off.

"That vote will be cast as voting against the troops" by Trump, his sycophants and their propaganda outlets, Jake, not by the rest of us on Earth 1.

He's straight up threatening him. CNN isn't our friends, Democrats These people want nothing more than to see the Democratic party utterly destroyed and ripped from history. Tapper is an evil and nefarious force in media and American life

TAPPER: You know that if you vote against an additional $50 billion of funding for operations in Iran, that vote will be cast as you voting against the troops. CHRIS MURPHY: Come on. The American people do not want this war. If you support the troops, you should be voting against this war.

Remember in 2020, when then President Trump stated that Putin putting bounties on American soldiers was a hoax? I’m convinced that the kompromat Putin has on Trump, is career ending!

Chris Murphy: "I think it's likely the United States that carried out this attack on this school. I think it's unforgivable under any circumstances, but the fact this was one of our first targeting decisions speaks to the incompetence of our leadership at the Dept of Defense."

The incompetence is almost unfathomable.....cut taxes for the rich over decades. Then gut government services while enabling unlimited corruption and grift for a bunch of Epstein parasitic oligarchs....

The White House refuses to call its war in Iran a war, instead labeling it “major combat operations” — a maneuver to keep Congress out of the picture. And believe it or not, Congress is going along with it. Setting aside the absurdity of the question of if killing a head of state is an act of war,

We need to pass a House rule or law that requires them to work a certain number of days to get paid. Since Mike Johnson took over these people hardly ever work. When they finally come back after weeks off they work 2 days and he sends them home for 2 more weeks. It’s ridiculous.

Boebert: Have you reviewed any Epstein files that were released that you believe reference or relate to those specific 2016 claims regarding the Podesta emails Comet ping pong pizza used as code possibly. Clinton: Pizzagate was totally made up. I can't believe you're even referencing it

I am concerned to see the escalation of conflict in the Middle East, and that the UK has allowed the US to use its bases for strikes on Iran. No matter how the Prime Minister tries to redefine offensive as defensive, this is a mistake.

ValKatz reposted

I hate to say it, but the worst violence from Iran is yet to come. The regime has a long history of targeting the softest possible targets, particularly civilian sites. We are about to see some truly ugly events across the Middle East and beyond. Brace yourselves, but don't give up on humanity.

He was rambling on about the war he got us into and veered off into curtain talk, then seamlessly continued on to discuss the men that have lost their lives. He did that so easily because he doesn’t care about the dead. His ability to pick curtains is just as important and must be mentioned.
