Blackwell to DHS official Tricia McLaughlin: "You suggest I am the one here who is focused on skin color, when the president has let in Afrikaners specifically, and I'm asking, how many of those who are actually facing genocide from Sudan and the Congo are being let in under some expedited path?"

Perfect tweet 🏆

Funny how the paperwork only matters when it’s a woman or minority voter.

Check out how the anchors of CBS Evening News ended their broadcast tonight:

The sheer inhumanity of this

Embarrassing that this sycophantic ass-clown is representing us on the world stage. We have become a joke to the world in 3 months.

The stupid... it b-u-r-n-s...!!! 🔥 🔥 🔥

Warren: "Congress has a chance right now to put a stop to this, but the Republicans in Congress have to be willing to stand up to Donald Trump and say, 'No, you don't get to break the American economy.'"

Mark Kelly: "This is not surprising. Here's a guy who told Americans to inject bleach into their bodies, who sent a mob to Capitol Hill. And now I think it's fair to say he stands out as singlehandedly destroying more wealth with his bad decisions than anybody else who has ever lived on this planet"

The worst news of the week. "The U.S. Senate confirmed Harmeet Dhillon, a veteran lawyer with a history of attacking voting rights, to lead the U.S. Department of Justice’s Civil Rights Division." www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Fox removed the stock market ticker from their broadcasts.

I will pay a journalist $100 if they manage to get an answer from Trump on whether there's a danger in his levying further tariffs on Wakanda if they don't begin fairly trading vibranium with the US.

This.

Yes exactly.

TBT to @chrislhayes.bsky.social on Sept. 18, 2024: “Donald Trump doesn’t understand his own economic plan. A plan that even Republican economists say is a sales tax on Americans. A plan that already devastated American agriculture the first time around.”

Koh: I think if this is a president who really wanted to empower workers, he wouldn't have just stripped 700,000 people of their collective bargaining rights..

“The truth is that a tattoo identifying Tren de Aragua does not exist,” she told me. “Tren de Aragua does not use any tattoos as a form of gang identification; no Venezuelan gang does.”

It’s really fascinating what happens when you remove diversity—white male incompetency is placed on full display and with no one to blame for their actions —so they just lie.

Actually, quite flattering.

Mother Jones reporter Noah Lanard spoke with families of those detained in a Salvadorian prison. In one case, the Trump administration accused their loved one of having a gang tattoo. The family says it’s a tattoo for autism awareness.

“The systems include a vast database called Enterprise Human Resources Integration, which contains dates of birth, Social Security numbers, appraisals, home addresses, pay grades & length of service of gov’t workers…We have no visibility into what they are doing with the computer and data systems”

Ahem!

they are stealing data from the american people and depriving us of the transparency that we are entitled to by law. none of this is legal and not a single federal employee has any reason to comply.

The DUI hire weighs in.

As the president delivered remarks blaming the D.C. plane crash on his political opponents and diversity programs, across the Potomac in Arlington, young figure skaters were choking back tears as they laid flowered at a makeshift memorial to three of the dead.

I missed this entirely: The FAA Administrator criticized Space X’s safety record and threatened fines. Musk demanded he resign. He did. On January 20th. www.thedailybeast.com/faa-chief-mi...
