Goldman: Both of the issues Marjorie Taylor Greene raised—were widely publicized and thoroughly debated in committee and on the House floor. If you’re publicly admitting that you didn’t know what you were voting on and now regret it—you’re not competent or qualified to serve in Congress.

What happened to states’ rights, Kristi?

LAWSKY: I see a lot of folks hoping Abrego Garcia will sue Bondi for defamation. I don’t think he can sue her for defamation, but if she drops the charges, I think maybe he can sue for false arrest. Do I have that right? Thanks!

We are at the tear gas stage.

This — Soviet Union kind of fear — is happening in a small town just northeast of Scranton, PA. "It's Honesdale, so like, I don't really think they were hurting anybody, but you know, if you're not safe in Honesdale, that means that they can get you anywhere," said Bryant Oldham of Honesdale.

By the way a military parade when we’re not celebrating a war victory is something a dude who never served would do.

This means, of course, that the Nazi shrew simply must be MS13 and should be immediately seized, stripped najed, and sent to the El Salvado gulag. Right? www.rawstory.com/stephen-kati...

It's the Washington Monument in the background that really takes this to next-level dystopian

Welcome to America, where protesting illegal kidnappings without due process is an insurrection, but attacking the nation’s Capitol is not.

So, to be clear, Musk has now admitted he funded a man he believes to be a pedophile to be president. And Trump has now admitted that he gave access to high level government secrets to a man he believes to be a big time drug addict. This should be *the* story on the Sunday shows tomorrow.

Remember, $100 million in taxpayer money to feed children, veterans, and the elderly is "waste." $100 million in taxpayer money for a Stalinist parade to Glorious Leader is NOT waste. $100 million in taxpayer money for a white trash ballroom addition to the White House is NOT waste.

SERIOUSLY. We said that all of this ugly murder hardware would eventually be used against our own people.

Thanks to @jimlokay.com for having me on last night to discuss the trumped up charges brought against Abrego Garcia.

So, yeah, we're all aghast at the bitch fight but the potential and nearly immediate consequences are not fucking funny. Two Beta males having a microdick spat are endangering the entire national space program. www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...

Great point

Simone Biles comes for Riley Gaines

US: “Does @MarshaBlackburn’s (Secret Police bill) give away that naming ICE agents isn’t actually illegal?” NASHVILLE Mayor @freddieoconnell.bsky.social : “I haven’t even looked at the bill.” It would lock people up for 5 years for naming a masked ICE agent. What are they so ashamed of?

Elon is calling Chicken Donald a pedo again today, MAGA men are defending Chicken Donald by admitting to raping teenagers in college, and DOGE staffers are getting fired amidst the fallout. Have a great weekend!

VETERAN: “This is why they can’t wear masks. Because people like this exist… if you want to snatch people off the streets, do it in uniform, and show your damn face.” (@MarshaBlackburn’s Secret Police bill criminalizes transparency and threatens 5 years for naming an ICE agent)

"Trump has Musk by the balls. Trump knows it. And now Musk knows it." Musk has picked a disastrous fight with an authoritarian, not a normal president. As @billkristolbulwark.bsky.social points out here, Musk is lucky he won't be murdered or imprisoned, like the uppity oligarchs of Putin's Russia.

A poll-driven view of politics [and as a Data Person I often fall in that trap] can blind you to the basic human (*and* strategic) fact that the assertion of strength can *increase* strength. The 2nd paragraph is IMHO the perfect tone for organizational messaging today. via @aaronsojourner.org

See the difference? 👀

I said healthcare is a human right and now Elon Musk is posting about “suicidal empathy” at 3 am:

NEW: Conservatives on SCOTUS give DOGE the go-ahead. A one-two punch: DOGE gets access to your data, but the public is restricted from getting information about DOGE. Today, at Law Dork:

We've been warning that this was coming.

We’re now seeing paramilitary ICE raids in LA — with full on military garb, military tanks, flash bang grenades & the arrest of a major labor leader. This is a core manifestation of fascism — using federal forces to put down dissent. If we don’t stop this now, this is the future everywhere.

An amazing woman. I had the privilege of engineering a number of charity events where she was a speaker. She was the real deal. Respect for the whole crew. RIP

Feed cleanser.

Unfortunately, what we have become has been 8 years in the making. What Trump’s Gestapo/SS are doing now, is what (granted, on a smaller scale) Bill Barr’s secret police was doing 5 years ago during Floyd protests when organizers and leaders were being snatched and detained by people in black…

ICYMI — ICE DIRECTOR: “These are real people with real families you’re hurting.” He says this not about immigrants… but about ICE agents. A record-setting lack of self-awareness.

Pete Hesgeth — who wants to rename the Navy ship that honors Medgar Evers, a WWII veteran who landed on Omaha Beach — is using that same beach for a photo op in which he promises we will “never forget” the veterans there. What an unbelievable asshole.

But not before a big public show of arresting him and trying him in the court of Fox News upon his return

Share this far and wide. It will only get worse.

Pretty cool how Ted Cruz thinks both Trump and Musk can be "absolutely right." The groveling is next level.

Something else in common…the descendants are still told they don’t belong. We should be united ✊🏿✊🏾✊🏽✊🏼

Question of the Day...

It's even worse, BLS was deploying a virtual data access portal which would have expanded researcher access to BLS data. Instead, nearly all access is gone, including for research in progress.

"Veterans know the layoffs aren’t about saving money. They’re about weakening the institution and ultimately privatizing and gutting VA disability funding, as spelled out in Project 2025." share.google/pz6mLWSzZIYC...

The degree to which these two are humiliating not just themselves but the country is astounding.
