The Maine ICE shooter’s ex-wife has come forward and said that he asked her to lie for him. She also said that he has mental health issues and was abusive. And NOTHING about this information surprises me. www.pressherald.com/2026/07/16/i...

Some notes now that I’ve seen the transcript of the hearing, thanks to @lizdye.bsky.social . First: the government dismissed the felony count in an effort to convince the judge not to make them produce full transcripts, knowing they showed serious misconduct.

COLBERT: How dumb do you think it is for people to say that I should run for president? OBAMA: Well, you know, the bar has changed. I think you would perform significantly better than some folks we've seen. COLBERT: Is that an endorsement? OBAMA: It was not

Notice how a book can make you gay, a vaccine can make you autistic, a mask can make you sicker, and a poster of the Ten Commandments can make you moral, but guns don’t kill people.

Democrats should seriously consider a national ad campaign with clips of Republicans refusing to do their jobs, demanding they repay their congressional salaries.

During the Soviet era, at times of govt instability, the state broadcaster would typically preempt scheduled broadcasts by airing performances of Swan Lake

Justin Baragona@justinbaragona.bsky.social

And, tonight, the network's flagship news program -- 60 Minutes -- ran a clip show of old celeb interviews to "celebrate the movies" rather than put together an episode focused on what's going on in Minnesota.

Trump doesn't seem to see that some people are still immune to his threats. Jack White criticized Trump's Oval Office decor. The White House then called White a "washed-up, has-been loser... masquerading as a real artist." And White, undeterred, posted an absolutely blistering takedown in response.

So they found a 125,000 yr old Neanderthal fat rendering plant & I have thoughts. Knowing that they loved saturated fat SO MUCH that they industrialized to get as much of it as humanly possible? Makes me feel seen, heard, supported, etc www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Trump officials' showings at hearings today were disasters, but it doesn't make headlines bc the media's default assumption is that Rs are clownish rascals. But if Dems didn't know what was happening at their agencies or what habeas corpus is, it'd be front page news. This is a key media asymmetry.

Let’s be honest: the policies they’re pushing? LITERALLY straight out of Project 2025. The same plan they claimed they had nothing to do with.  Now they’re writing them into law—gutting public lands, rejecting science, and handing out kickbacks to their corporate buddies.   We’re fighting back!

I can’t anyone take anyone seriously who says they weren’t given enough of a reason to vote against Trump. Nothing else they say matters because that’s the biggest giveaway they’re an idiot who is not worth my time or energy.

"People needed a reason to vote against Trump" I mean Kamala told you all of this would happen, which seems to have been a good reason. The fact you didn't believe her isn't her problem.

NGL it’s exhausting to hear “why are they doing this?!?” over and over. THEY BELIEVE DISEASE IS GOOD. They believe they have money because they’re the clever smart special boys and that will protect them from the nasty people beneath them.

Sunday, April 13, 2025 Today missed being Easter by 22 minutes. Gregorian Calendar’s definition: First Sunday after the first Full Moon after the March Equinox. If the Full Moon had occurred 22 minutes earlier, landing yesterday (GMT), then today would have been that first Sunday.

Now that musk is saying he’s doing the DOGE stuff “because the globalists have plotted a Great Replacement in which they use government handouts to buy votes from illegal immigrants and urban blacks” maybe we don’t have to act like this is about deficits or cost cutting anymore

He’s been co-POTUS for 4 weeks. Not even a month. And they’re already calling for the likely future leader of the Democratic Party—a nonwhite woman—to be put in a cage. Twitter has many tweets like the one below. Everyone needs to understand: America is on very limited time now. Fascism is here.

1/6 The GOP didn’t win in 2024 by getting more votes. They won by disqualifying more votes. Millions of Democratic ballots were purged, tossed, or blocked before they were even counted. The numbers are staggering. Let’s on the real threat. 🧵 #Voices4Victory #DemVoice1 #USDemocracy #ProudBlue

ICE went to the home of a 61-year-old man with poor health and after his family informed ICE agents that they needed a warrant signed by a judge, dozens of ICE agents instead showed up in an armored vehicle with a battering ram and flash grenades and took him by force.
