Omg. Democratic House Rep. Gerry Connolly passed away from esophageal cancer just weeks after he announced he was stepping down from as the top Dem. on the House Oversight Committee and wasn’t seeking reelection in 2026. He was 75. My heart goes out to his family and friends.

The same people who say Adriana Smith should stay hooked up to machines so a fetus can gestate inside her dead body for 7 months because “it’s a sacrifice a mother would make” can’t fathom a mother crossing the border with her children in hopes of providing a better life for them.

These men behind bars are not in prison after being charged with crimes. They are "enemy combatants" being detained in a concentration camp. As such, Kristi Noem's crass photo-op using them as props violates the Geneva Convention's prohibition of ‘exposure to public curiosity’ of those captured.

The most obvious lesson to draw from the leaked Signal chat is that these people really are morons. It's not a public act, it's not a schtick, there's not some secret back room where they drop the facade. They are genuinely stupid, incompetent people.

In case you’ve forgotten how we used to treat this sort of thing… There would be bipartisan calls for investigations Impeachment would be a foregone conclusion Several people would’ve resigned or been fired by end of day Back when responsible adults were in charge, not this insane clown posse

If you beat a Capitol police officer with their own shield in an effort to overturn a free & fair election, you go free, but if you vandalize an electric car, you get 20 years in an infamously brutal El Salvadoran prison.

The DOGE staff has no experience at all in government. They have ignored institutional expertise and have practiced ideological incompetence to a predictable disastrous result. They have invaded American’s privacy and likely added proprietary software to government databases.

"Trump owns this, Elon owns this, and all of those spineless GOP Senators who greenlit Sean Duffy own this... We can barely go a day without a plane crashing. Maybe next time these Republicans should disconnect their lips from Trump’s ass and focus on the people they’re supposed to be representing."
