“What Senator Alex Padilla did today was political theater.” --Kristi Noem, the Head of Costuming, Hair, and Makeup at Political Theater

As the videotapes clearly show, Noem is lying. Padilla is clearly identifying himself as a senator before he he is thrown to the ground and handcuffed. www.mediaite.com/media/news/p...

Kristi Noem must resign. She has deported a four year old with cancer, detained a U.S. marshal, and arrested two members of Congress. She’s lost the confidence of the American people. ICE must stop terrorizing our communities.

I ran an experiment, simultaneously posting articles on Bluesky and X, and then testing to see how many people actually clicked and read them. The numbers on Bluesky are higher, both because the X algorithm downranks journalism, and because Bluesky attracts readers, not just shitposters.

Pete Hesgeth — who wants to rename the Navy ship that honors Medgar Evers, a WWII veteran who landed on Omaha Beach — is using that same beach for a photo op in which he promises we will “never forget” the veterans there. What an unbelievable asshole.

Masks Off, Hoods On: Republicans Are Revealing Their Worst Selves The modern GOP doesn't need dog whistles anymore. Their racism, hate, & cruelty are out in the open & reveal the greed and white supremacy that have defined the party, and country, for ages. thelefthook.substack.com/p/masks-off-...

The Trump memo launching an investigation into the Biden White House’s use of the autopen allegedly to conceal his mental state is something else. Why is the White House Counsel in charge of this investigation? That is one indicator that something is awry. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

We should NOT cut food assistance in America so that Trump can pad the pockets of billionaires and giant corporations. If Republicans won’t listen to common sense and common decency—then we are going to get a megaphone and shout it from the rooftops: HANDS OFF SNAP.

I am not loving Jake Tapper. Perhaps he can write another book? Oh right, not brave enough! Biden was low hanging fruit. There are those of us who understand how successful his presidency was. When asked, Tapper can’t even admit that. Jerk.

The Rules Committee meets at 1 AM on Tuesday night/ Wednesday morning to ram through this disastrous bill. Why? Because they don't want you to see them ripping healthcare from millions of Americans. You do not hold a hearing for a bill at 1 AM unless you're completely ashamed of it.

Speaker Mike Johnson on the US credit downgrade: "Moody's is not incorrect, but that emphasizes the very need for the legislation we're talking about -- historic spending cuts." (Part of Moody's concern is in fact the reconciliation bill, which is projected to add trillions to US debt)
