"The scene... turned violent AFTER federal immigration authorities used flash-bang grenades and pepper spray on people protesting…" Seems to be a convenient fact many of my Republican colleagues are leaving out in their statements of support for "law and order."

Sure, everyone under the sun is going to run in 2028—I get it. We can walk and chew gum, but our NUMBER ONE PRIORITY must be taking back the House and Senate so we can IMPEACH and REMOVE that POS with the $400 million flying bribe —in 2026!

this is not true either legally or in a colloquial sense, but an NYT reporter says it like he's telling you the weather.

This is still part of the Constitution, FYI: "[N]o Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust... shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State."

Today in Newark, NJ, ICE demonstrated that it was unfamiliar with the statute explicitly governing ICE and authorized unnoticed inspections by congress members and their staffers.

Weird. Rome has an American Pope and America has a Russian President.

Scanlon: The Gulf of Mexico was so named over 500 years ago. If we want to update that name to reflect our current culture, maybe we should call it the Sea of Emoluments—you know, the place where we can board the Ship of Fools and navigate from a State of Ignorance to the Confederacy of Dunces…

A well-oiled machine 🫠

Walz: If you say you love freedom but you don't believe freedom is for everybody, then the thing you love is not freedom, it is privilege.

No one ever said they were creative.

Now that the influential bigot who did a Hitler salute publicly claimed that organic protests against his malfeasance are secretly controlled by a list of foreign Jews, some of whom aren’t even alive today, are we allowed to call him a Nazi, or is there something even Nazier we have to wait for?

Patricia Bauman died a year ago. ActBlue is a payment processor. Almost anyone who’s given to a D candidate in the last 20 years could be mischaracterized as a “ActBlue funder.” Listing five Jews, two of whom are long dead, as “ActBlue funders” secretly behind the Tesla protests is antisemitism.

you’re fired. wait you’re rehired. email us a list of things you’ve done today wait forget it you’re fired again. come back your job was important. you’re fired. or hired. come in to the office. wait the office has no computers go home. we are the department of government efficiency.

Trump has traded world leadership and long-term alliances with rich and reliable partners for a laughably submissive relationship with poor and hostile Russia. This was unexpected… and revolutionary.

Hi — quick question: How is this legal? www.wired.com/story/people...

It’s obscene to me people say Andrew Tate is offering young men a sense of masculinity they can’t find elsewhere when Nick Offerman exists. Tate offers them an excuse for the behaviour not an explanation for the situation. Oooh the big bad women (who we also think are weak) did this too us. Grow up

Sometimes it feels like I’m going crazy, because there is something that is right in front of our faces, has been for years, and nobody of consequence ever says it: Donald Trump works for Vladimir Putin. How much more proof does anyone need? And what is anybody going to do about it?

If I wrote this, you all would say I was taking the bit too far, wouldn't you?

How it started/How it's going

Seems like everyone has kinda memory-holed this one. thehill.com/homenews/new...

am i losing my mind or is the president openly bribing a mayor with dropped charges right in front of us? and now we're just gonna watch the mayor pay it off and no ones going to do anything? is that whats happening?

“You can’t negotiate and end to the war without Ukraine, ya jagoff.”

We could just be reading great books, watching good movies, and eating fruit. Instead we have to survive/fight miserable power hoarders. What a waste of limited time.

This breaks my heart. Who is going to tell them? www.smaccoalition.com/fake-rescue-...
