Awkward is my natural state. To the left of Bernie. I can make a great pie crust, and do simple math in my head. Have fun, be safe.

Sen. Murphy: “They say that he didn’t identify who he was. Watch the video, he clearly states, ‘I am Senator Alex Padilla.’ They’re going to spin this, but I’m begging my Republican colleagues, don’t let them do it.”

What happened to Senator Padilla is absolutely DISGUSTING. Point blank, period. This shit is out of control. Another elected official disrespected while doing their job. (1/2)

If you silence free speech and trample the Constitution, you’re the lawless one. “Just obeying orders” is not a defense.

The state of California needs to arrest the DHS "security" forces for assault and every Democrat in the U.S. Senate needs to sign onto a campaign to impeach Kristi Noem. Right fucking now.

Not a doctor. Not a scientist. No. A longtime heroin addict and current steroid enthusiast who perjured himself in confirmation hearings in order to pursue a twisted agenda that will kill more Americans than Osama Bin Laden.

📍OUTRIGHT LIE—Robert F. Kennedy Jr. promised Sen Cassidy: "If confirmed, [RFK Jr] will maintain the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices without changes." ⚠️Yet, RFK Jr fired all CDC ACIP scientists today. www.cassidy.senate.gov/newsroom/pre...

The $1.6 billion facility is now in limbo.

We need to stand up for @terrymoranabc.bsky.social

Kristi Noem told us they couldn’t bring Kilmar Abrego Garcia back. Looks like they lied again.

How could this be? Sales of the @jaketapper.bsky.social Biden book, grossly exaggerated? 🤦🏼‍♂️Per Lachlan Cartwright at Breaker

My same thoughts. Rooting for him to beat cancer. Gosh, the People had 4 years of normalcy but not everyone appreciated it.

NEW: A group of minority voters in Tarrant County, Texas file a lawsuit accusing local GOP officials of racial gerrymandering, a day after they approved a new map to shrink the voting power of Black and brown residents. From: @jenrice.bsky.social‬

Digital Equity Program, for NY for $5.3 million, was canceled by the Trump administration. This program aimed to make broadband more accessible and affordable, particularly for rural communities, low-income households, and those facing other digital barriers. Elise DID NOT DELIVER on this.

Imagine that

The Boulder terror suspect’s visa expired in March under Trump. Why did Trump let him stay?

Jake Tapper can go suck eggs.

“Facts are stubborn things; and whatever may be our wishes, our inclinations, or the dictates of our passion, they cannot alter the state of facts and evidence.” —John Adams, Second President of the United States

Here’s the thing, if they are picking up folks working in the country illegally, I’m going to need to see some white guys also being arrested for employing people working illegally in the country. Otherwise, it’s just racism.

Good one from Andy Borowitz.

Hey @nytimes.com and @washingtonpost.com post How about “Trump Posts Unhinged Rant on Memorial Day, Attacking Biden, Judges, Immigrants and Democrats-Further Demonstrating His Cognitive Decline” Or do you just intend to sane wash us all the way into tyranny

Re-upping: If *anyone* *anywhere* in US journalism is planning a story this coming week on "Joe Biden's fitness," .. . ... Look at yourself in the mirror and focus on what is happening right now. Our problems, NOW, do not involve Joe Biden.

Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.

Listen, Biden wasn’t my first pick, but Black voters in SC saw what I couldn’t see and I followed their lead. He beat Trump. I listen to and watch Black voters, but especially Black women who are seemingly prescient. Oh, and Jake Tapper can f’ck off.

NEW: Israeli forces are killing Red Cross workers. In their homes. Posting this here because it’s unlikely you’ll see this in the news. Killed yesterday (May 24), their names were Ibrahim Eid and Ahmad Abu Hilal.

As a philosophy major who adored symbolic logic courses, this may be my favorite cartoon ever.

OTD in 1948 Witold Pilecki was executed by Stalin's secret police after a show trial. He *voluntarily* entered Auschwitz during WW2 to prove its existence. USSR was "anti-fascist"

Paul Weiss has become a symbol for the disgrace of capitulation to Trump. The once proud firm has been ridiculed by Trump, criticized by judges, and has started losing partners. Now the right-wing is looking to cash the check it wrote to pay off Trump. It may complain, but it will cave.
