Congress passed a law to place a plaque in the Capitol honoring the officers who protected the transfer of power, Members of Congress and VP Pence on Jan 6. The plaque is complete and long overdue for display. But Speaker Johnson is leaving it in a dark closet.

Here’s what we learned.. the world no longer buys Ts as a FTQ

That's not how the Constitution works. And this notion the the opposition is "disloyal" is poisonous.

stating the obvious but its so fundamentally insulting to women/survivors everywhere for Andrew Cuomo to have the nerve to run at all let alone be a frontrunner. It would be less insulting &demeaning to just spit in our faces. Every supporter/endorser of his is a gross misogynist

This fucking clown thinks he's in 3rd grade calling "no backsies."

.@JDVance served with Padilla in the Senate. He said “Jose” on purpose. Why? Bcuz the cruelty is the point. The bigotry is the point. The utter indifference is the point. The being an absolute asshole is the point. It all sells with JD’s base. And JD knows that. So JD will dutifully be an ass.

See ... he's trying to equate dissent with terrorism. Explicitly.

I wish I had @ivanthek.bsky.social The more you know graphic right now

As Mayor, I’ve promised to build 500,000 new homes in NYC. 50,000 of those homes will be built in thriving new neighborhoods—on just four of the city’s 12 municipal golf courses.

Do the right thing: rank me #1, Zohran #2, and DON'T RANK ANDREW CUOMO.

ICE agents in tactical gear chase down and tackle a U.S. citizen in L.A. After realizing he’s American, they just slink away. Their only explanation: “Why were you running?” Probably because two masked men with guns were trying to snatch him.

‘earned’ is doing a lot of work here

Scott Jennings.. ignorance on display

Concerning…

I wonder what they would do if I, a peaceful citizen without any criminal or disruptive intent, simply offered them my opinion about how inappropriate it is that they are wearing masks. I suspect it would end with me being wrestled to the ground and handcuffed.

Trump’s deployment of the National Guard to LA is an authoritarian show of force. The Guard is not a tool for the president to intimidate U.S. citizens and quash protests against MAGA immigration policies. Ways the Guard can be lawfully deployed:

Tucker Carlson: “If I were Putin, I would offer free first class trips to Moscow so they could see that Moscow was so much nicer than any place in Great Britain. It's like not even close…It's just weird that they're mad at Putin. Why aren't they mad at Keir Starmer?” Russian asset

It's incredible how irrelevant Congress has allowed itself to become.

Hey @weisenthal.bsky.social .. we need you on here… good Econ is apolitical.. also do you like Deer Tick? I think they’re good

Fox News is now outraged that people want police to identify themselves.

He was detained outside church. “He was in chains at his feet,” Alondra Sotelo-Garcia told a local news outlet about seeing her father arrested. “Shoelaces were taken off, his belt was off, he didn’t have his ring, he didn’t have his watch. Everything was taken from him.”

Former President Barack Obama issued a warning about the future of American democracy, while speaking at an event in Connecticut. Obama cautioned that the country is “dangerously close” to normalizing behavior “consistent with autocracies.”

Thanks Crypto!

Absolutely correct

Japan won’t fixate on the looming date that could see so-called reciprocal tariffs rise in its ongoing trade negotiations with the US, Tokyo’s top negotiator said, signaling the Asian nation stands ready for the possibility that the talks will drag on.

It is easy to see the amount of time and effort that went into this - the writing, production quality, all of it - and know that this isn't some clickbait listicle spat out from ChatGPT. This is clearly a labor of love project, and it shows in everything you'll hear/see/read.

Just some creepy armed Mad Max guys trying to gain entry to Dodgers Stadium. ICE says it wasn’t them. DHS says they were Border Patrol. But honestly who the hell knows? They’ve given permission for any psycho to put on a ski mask, point a gun, grab people & throw them into an unmarked vehicle.

We’re historically unpopular what should we do? Oh let’s roll up try to start arresting employees and fans of the most popular sports franchise in LA
