Phang: If you were scrolling on social media and saw a dog locked up in the middle of the Everglades—in the sun, in the heat, in the humidity—the outrage would be wild, wouldn’t it? But then—we’re okay with human beings being treated like that?

Schrier to RFK Jr: You gave Cassidy the answer he needed to hear in order to get his confirmation vote, then as soon as you were secretary you turned around & fired all 17 members. You lied. I also want to be clear that I will lay all responsibility for every vaccine-preventable death at your feet.

“They’ll get over it” – Mitch McConnell when millions lose their health care and hospitals could shut down. Absolutely heartless. Public sentiment matters. Keep being loud and fighting back. We’re in this together.

This is from The Atlantic. This is exactly how Democrats should message Trump‘s bill. 👇🏻

Just two days after one of our large-scale kitchens resumed operations, the WCK mobile bakery is back up and running. Our #ChefsForGaza team is scaling to prepare 30,000 loaves of bread daily.

WCK resumed cooking in Gaza after our first aid delivery in 12 weeks. With new ingredients on hand, we’re preparing warm, carb-rich meals like pasta and hearty potato stews. The WCK team cooked nearly 10,000 meals on day one of resumed operations. #ChefsForGaza (1/2)

Just watched Deadline White House interview with the Marine son of the gardener viciously beaten by ICE. He said that his father has not been allowed to wash his face, has not been fed & is given scant water once daily. I cringed with every question about what he thought of the situation, or trump,

Touché.

Trump makes a homophobic attack on Anderson Cooper, calling him "Allison Cooper"

I was going to break my rule and watch Deadline White House for the first time in months and months because of current events. But I think I will go ballistic when, once again, all that's happening is a big batch of nothing from the Democratic Party. "He needs to explain to us"? Thanks, Hakeem.

Wow! Slow down, Adam. You don't want to get *too* crazy in the Democratic response to things.

A lot of us DID vote! And send postcards, and rally, etc. Are we seeing ANYTHING other than posts and interviews where they state the obvious but take no action? No. What good does it do to elect them when they don't DO A FECKING THING ONCE THEY GET THERE?

May I suggest that they hire Merrick Garland as head of the DNC? He'd fit right in.

Pope: “Alarming news continues to emerge from the Middle East, especially from Iran. Every member of the international community has a moral responsibility to stop the tragedy before it becomes an irreparable chasm. War does not solve problems, it amplifies them. May diplomacy silence the weapons!”

Thanks for stating the obvious for us, Hakeem. Since I have no doubt that you've done all you are going to do, don't slam the door on the way out. And thanks for not taking any action of any kind other than press interviews and posts. I hate being surprised.

I have *never* wished anyone to actually go to hell, but greg abbott is pushing my limits. And Paxton. And Patrick. And the whole MAGA machine in state congress.

I'll be really excited if I am ever convinced that the Democratic Party isn't just grandstanding for us in the cheap seats. Like, by going past rhetoric and into action...

If she had been given a cabinet position, she'd be cheering him on right now.

It's always about money. Says we can't "mortgage the future" and should strip healthcare from our most vulnerable. Hey, Ron? How about NOT SPENDING 45 MILLION ON TRUMP'S NEXT BIRTHDAY PARADE? How about not overcharging Secret Service agents' hotel bills to watch him golf?

Not if Merrick Garland is involved.

I'm sorry: you trust *anything* that comes out of Noem's little kingdom? We can't trust a word they say. If they are issuing warnings, it is at least 100 times worse than they are telling us. If they told the truth, it might upset the POS in the White House.

They choose who gets to "interview" them pretty carefully. No journalist likely to ask a real question will be knowingly allowed with 100 miles of these cowards.

Don't you worry, Fetterman! "Floating it" means wasting days and days doing nothing of substance. By that time, there will be other, worse atrocities, so they will move on to "floating" ideas about those. And that's how it works. Not too bad for $170,000+ a year & side grifts.

Golly. Such a brave, brave post. You've done enough now, Senator, posting like that. So glad you were elected.

Stephen Miller. At whose behest is the real question.

And what is Congress going to do about that? My guess: consult with the lightening quick Merrick Garland, wait another few months, talk some more, and vote to do nothing. Just going off their actions thus far.

I believe that a huge majority of those who voted him in are the type who never turn on a news program, don't listen if they do and when absolutely necessary, only watch Fox News, so they never hear the truth.

We NEED to get married some place cool enough that the plastic in her face doesn't start to melt though. It's only 80 there right now.

I'd give anything if one of the "reporters" would ask him how much $$$$$ he was given to veto. Not that I believe it should have been. I've just been here long enough to know that it's all about money with abbott et al.

Who is catering? Jim Beam?

We’ll see if this becomes the definitive answer soon enough. But at this point it’s an increasingly fair wager ….

Science fiction has always given us both hope and dire warnings about what could be.

I see the Washington Post is platforming an op-ed by Krisi Noem, because apparently they're still pissed they missed their opportunity to publish Goebbels in the original German.

Oh, look! Somebody finally handed Joni her talking points. Wanna bet they all ape this?

Name ONE, Todd.
