“What is the draw anymore if the mission is rooted in who the president is and your job can be taken without warning or process?” the Labor attorney asked. “Who in their right mind will ever take a gamble on a government job again?”

MTG: “I’m on my way to the Situation Room to help out President Trump.”

"I wanted him to know how much pain that caused me and the other people in my state, and I think around the country, who think that this was a brutal attack." - @smith.senate.gov Good on her for confronting Mike Lee in the Sen. but Schumer/Sen. Dems should moving to censure Lee on the Sen floor.

Not sure if anything will come of this, but it is good to shame Republicans.

I forgot about this

I never, ever want to hear another god damn word about state’s rights…

Something to think about: "A constitutional amendment that would move all but two federal law enforcement organizations from the executive branch to the control of the federal judiciary."

“Tasted a little tear gas— tasted like fascism”

The ritual worked

Wow

I wrote America's farewell letter to Elon Musk: "There’s a human emotion called 'shame,' and it’s something you might want to Google when you’re not busy working on an ugly electric truck that won’t sell or a rocket that will almost inevitably explode." www.usatoday.com/story/opinio...

To be fair, nothing has ever made me want to make a s’more out of leprechaun peeps, rainbow-dyed chocolate, and giant cheez-its more than making an anti-vaxxer despair

I cannot emphasize this enough; people were live-tweeting imaginary gun battles between North Carolina sheriffs and FEMA stormtroopers, and the richest man in the world was one of them. People can now live in their own imaginary worlds if they want to, and they're choosing to, at scale.

An Australian and a military wife are detained, strip searched and deported. One packed too much. The other not enough. The reasons are absolutely absurd and sounds made up. It just keeps getting worse. The US is set to lose approximately 12.5 billion in tourism alone. Don’t visit America!

9.5 BILLION meals for hungry kids, families & seniors. GONE. All to pay for more yachts for billionaires. It’s fucking sick. The Republican Party is demented. #StopTheBillionaireBailout!!

My rep - couldn't be more proud of her

The pope picks Zelenskyy as the first head of state to receive a private audience.

NPR published a story 5 days ago about three high ranking Trump officials with clear ties to Hitler-admiring antisemites and it barely made a ripple. These are the kind of stories that used to end political careers. Now the subjects of the stories just hold up a middle finger and keep plowing ahead.

Past life

I  know your goal is to try to make life as hard as possible for immigrants.

Posted this earlier, but it is one of the most horrific things yet of Trump era

Pope Cheetos VIII

GOD MADE PLANTS EATERS OF LIGHT

And you thought the left was censorious. How about actual censoring?

Just sayin'

The difference between a $500,000 house and a $600,000 house is $20,000 up front and $700 a month for the 30 year life of the mortgage.

Plain English, well said.

Walz: If you say you love freedom but you don't believe freedom is for everybody, then the thing you love is not freedom, it is privilege.

Al gore is pissed off and I’m here for it

Just one week after its recommendation, the Coeur d'Alene City Attorney's Office has filed charges against six men involved in the forced removal of a woman at a Kootenai County town hall in February. www.kivitv.com/news/six-men...

That’s the correct answer.

Sending innocent people to die in torture camps is barbaric. But it's also smart politics. by Chris Cillizza and Gavin Newsom

Hmm, couldn't they do both?

>reading the David Brooks Op Ed about mass strikes and seeing him quote the communist manifesto at the end

Honestly I'm glad they picked Harvard to try out this novel "we're mad" legal theory of revoking tax-exempt status, given its infinite resources, deep network of powerful alumni, and law school attended by 142 sitting federal judges. Good luck! 🫡

I gauge the relative horror of each passing day with a scientific measurement I call the WASF meter--which is a count of how many times each day I catch myself quietly muttering "We Are So Fucked." The WASF levels today are pretty high.
