Lee and Moreno had assumed (or simply fabricated) that the guy that murdered the representative was a Marxist or leftist; of course we know now he was a right wing Christian nationalist anti-choice anti-gay fanatic, just like them.

Less than two weeks ago, the richest man in the world claimed the president of the United States was directly involved with Jeffrey Epstein and that seems like five years and 15 scandals ago. This is all quite unsustainable.

Our inability to say - explicitly - that the right wing strategy of vilifying whomever they deem other, stoking status threat and glorifying guns led to the murder of an extraordinary public servant and effective leader simply aids the right's aims.

I’m aware my name was on one of the many documents recovered from the vehicle of the suspect in Minnesota. I thank law enforcement for their swift notification and subsequent response. My prayers are with all those impacted by these horrific acts.

Hey there Scott Walker. I noticed you deleted this after learning that in fact the shooter was from the right. I don’t think it matters either way, violence is violence, so I’m waiting for you to tweet the same thing with corrected facts? Cuz you’re uh, to use your words, “being silent.”

Finally, an NBA team has adopted my indomitable NBA2K defensive strategy (use a lil guy to try to steal the inbounds pass every time then run back real fast when it doesn't work).

1. So many of you have DM’d me over the past few days to check in on my family in Iran. Ninety-five percent of my family lives in Iran, so it means so much that people have taken the time to check in.

I rarely go to Twitter and when I do I make sure to keep it quick. Part of the reason is that the place is an open sewer and I don’t miss the stench at all. But another part is that I invariably see someone I know who’s still posting there and just lose a lot of respect for them.

Cuomo doesn’t just get to rehabilitate himself from sexual harassment because he’s rich and powerful. He gets to because he’s a man. It’s the same situation for everyday, ordinary men, while women from all walks of life are not just denied justice but punished for asking for it

I did an event in DC & there was a party for donors etc after. Was talking to 2 ppl & I said "Things are so bad." They said "No this is how it is. Things swing one way, then another. It's normal." That's when I realized why Dems are toothless. They have no idea what this is. Frogs boiling in water.

[email protected] on Mike Lee: "Either he's so mentally ill and deranged that he's convinced himself that this person is a Marxist, and that Tim Walz is responsible....Or he knows it's a lie....either one of those options makes him totally unacceptable as a person in public trust."

A huge amount of catastrophic policy right now is being driven by the fact that Stephen Miller grew up in Santa Monica and was furious when a life change pushed him into a school district where he had to share a classroom with Hispanic kids he despised. This is his revenge tour.

97% of extremist-related murders in the U.S. in 2024 were linked to right-wing extremists. It’s not a political movement anymore - it’s a hobby for failed men with too much testosterone and not enough brain cells.

At any time during the kerfuffle with @padilla.senate.gov, DHS secretary Kristi Noem could have called off the goons She didn't because she's a performative cosplaying thug who lives for theater and feared the questions coming from CA's senior senator Alex Padilla

Rather than apologizing and trying to resolve a problem she helped create, Kristi Noem is now lying about what happened and making it worse. This is unacceptable behavior from a Cabinet official. Noem clearly does not have the credibility or integrity to continue serving.

Schiff: "One thing that got lost in the horrendous treatment of Alex Padilla today was what Kristi Noem said at that press conference in saying it was necessary to have these troops there to 'liberate the city from the socialists' ... the fact they would use the military that was is unconscionable."
