Dem Rep Grijalva, 77, missed the budget vote this week, and 88% of this years votes. Hundreds of votes missed the last two years during his ongoing battle with cancer. His constituents deserve better. #DCCC

MTP host: do you agree that we are close to a constitutional crisis? Booker: the crisis is the impact these cuts have had on the public. Fuck you, Booker. @booker.senate.gov

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

Don’t ask “why are they doing this”. Don’t say “they can’t do that.” The why doesn’t matter. They can do that until somebody stops them.

Credit where credit is due: Hegseth renaming Ft Liberty (nee Bragg) to Ft Bragg, but in honor of a decorated WWII vet, is a good compromise.

So you’re telling me the people who watched the Super Bowl for 40 million worth of “Musk exposing corruption” are shocked, SHOCKED that they weren’t necessarily the target demo for the halftime show? Idiocy in non-quantifiable amounts.

When they ask me, years from now, to name just one good thing Trump did, I’ll be able to say “he got rid of the penny”. I’m off the hook.

I have to admit I never understood the conservative penchant for taking delight in others misery. But this morning, watching the meltdowns over the halftime show, combined with the gleeful expectations for the Musk ads - I’m kinda getting it. I could get used to this.

I come from the right. It’s the cruelty. For the right, the cruelty is the point. The cruelty sells.

Trump can’t have Canada as the 51st state. He can have it, however, as the 48th state after California, Oregon, and Washington secede.

You want western states to secede? Implement tariffs that impact them disproportionately and then withhold federal funding even though they are net contributors. Top that off with federal laws inherently at odds with the Constitution and you have a flammable situation.

I’m wondering what size earthquake would be required to equal the destruction caused by the fires. 9? 10? We were all worried about the wrong thing.

The video of the la fire chief saying “you shouldn’t have been caught in the fire in the first place” is going to be a landmark anti-dei moment exhibit. As a dei advocate, it is getting harder to defend and impossible for statements like that. #DEI
