I hope a dog is her attending physician.

These 18 Democrats just voted for the Senate's corrupt crypto industry bill that greenlights Trump's corruption: Alsobrooks Booker Cortez Masto Fetterman Gallego Gillibrand Hassan Heinrich Hickenlooper Kim Lujan Ossoff Padilla Rosen Schiff Slotkin Warner Warnock

The Minnesota shooter apparently used data broker websites to find the home addresses of the people he shot and murdered. Congress has had years to do something about data brokers and they've sided with the tech lobby over and over again. Their inaction is deadly.

Big middle finger from Gov. Gianforte, Montana Chambers of Commerce, and State Fund and other workers’ comp providers to police and fire with PTSD in vetoing SB394. If only they knew the true mental status of some of the guys responding to OUR crises. #mtpol

Our success in getting clear of this current nightmare hinges on being able to understand that Trump isn't the cause of all our problems, but rather a very visible symptom of them. If this all evaporates the second he's gone like it did when Biden won 2020, we'll be right back here in a decade.

One important difference being that the Republicans know how to harness the energy of their ultra-ideological flank, while the Democrats spend incredible amounts of energy and money trying to neutralize theirs.

Lol… Color me shocked. Exactly what I’ve said here and elsewhere about the MCPA (who pretty much direct #mtleg child welfare work) for years. #mtpol helenair.com/news/local/c...

I enjoy how Americans will post an image of a man bravely standing in front of a tank at Tiananmen every year to commemorate the wickedness of violence against protestors and then see a protester get trampled by a cop on horseback on CNN in LA and say “well what did he do wrong to deserve that?”

Posting this 1967 Birmingham News editorial cartoon for all the people who don't realize that this is how MLK was viewed by a big chunk of white America.

Efficiency is when you make the troops homeless *before* they're veterans

In 2010, Israeli forces attacked a Gaza aid flotilla, killing 10 people. In the aftermath, the Obama administration blocked UN efforts for an investigation, Biden defended the attack, and Chuck Schumer condemned the United Nations and defended Israel.

So maybe don’t primary every single one of them

I think we saw 5 different specialists before we could get my daughter’s PCP and insurance to sign off on reducing her severe tongue tie and doing ear tubes & an adenoidectomy. Her speech improved almost immediately (w/ SLP), she stopped being sick constantly, stopped snoring and drooling, etc.

"I wouldn't be Ms. Rachel if I didn't deeply care about all kids." www.wbur.org/hereandnow/2...

After air dropping into the state and shitting all over the lives of at-risk Montanans, it appears that Paula Stannard has ditched DPHHS to resume her old post at HHS. Good riddance. #mtpol

Put her in a cell with Anthony Blinken and break the key off in the lock

Ms Rachel gets stronger every day

Ms. Rachel: Be so ashamed that our religions tell us to give to the poor, feed the hungry and open our arms to all children & you pretend that they mean for only some people & children. They don't. We all know it's not true. Don't lie anymore.

Ms.Rachel is showing more humanity than our politicians

There are millions of people on the verge of losing their Medicaid coverage, and for many of them, dying themselves, who just saw that reality get a little easier because three Democrats with cancer decided to run for re-election and died in office. Impossible for me to have sympathy in this moment.

The NYT has reporting out on how Project 2025 has a specific framework to use false accusations of antisemitism to shut down speech. It comes 5 days after they mused whether Ms. Rachel was antisemitic, and straight up asked her if she was paid by Hamas.

This is so far over the line it’s disorienting.

Nuremberg style trials for all involved, including complicit Americans

For the June issue of @thenation.com, I wrote about the Harper’s letter 5 years later, and how under a quarter of its signatories have spoken out about Mahmoud Khalil and other campus activists imprisoned for speech.

Nearly 40 #mtleg Dems recently voted for a resolution providing cover for these massacres. A few even gave floor speeches full of mistruths on the subject.

People in Gaza are posting final messages.

to recap: democrats are cosponsoring legislation to harm at-risk people; taking meetings with a hate group; abandoning kidnapped people in el salvador; excommunicating anyone who thinks the party should do better; & ken martin’s best idea is to spend donations to fly a banner & troll the president?

Senator Alsobrooks: You’ve been unable to address specific questions about your agency. Can you name which office the Safe to Sleep program operates out of? RFK Jr.: Guesses wrong 5 times Alsobrooks: It is the Eunice Kennedy Shriver NICHD.

ICE supposedly haranguing people near Home Depot in Helena, MT #mtpol

If you indignantly respond to comments more or less quoting McCutcheon, you should probably hang it up in terms of being in the informing others business.

Israel carried out its plan to erase Gaza over the course of 18 months. Now that the plan has clearly fallen into place, the Netanyahu government is openly discussing ethnic cleansing. And still, Israel enjoys complete international impunity. mondoweiss.net/2025/05/exte...

“The money the Post Office spent came from us already. It is used to provide an insanely valuable service to us. And we could say that about any number of other things that provide massive value that we already paid for: libraries, schools, parks, fire departments, roads.”
