Alina Habba has created something called a "Special Prosecutions Division" to charge Donald Trump's political enemies. (This press release tells a third or fourth mutually inconsistent story about what happened at Delaney Hall.) www.justice.gov/usao-nj/pr/c...

Double.

...

This is actually perfect. The emptiness makes it look as ridiculous and wasteful as it is.

Today’s best meme

I’ve seen a few variations of this making the rounds. I like this one best. I don’t know who the original artist is but thank you to them.

WATCH: “Holy f*ck — They literally just shot her point blank… I live here…” @lapdhq shoot a woman trying to get to her apartment at point blank range with a rubber bullet. Alexandria’s page (the woman who helps her): www.tiktok.com/@labyrinthlo...

This was the plan all along. It's In the book. P 2025 📖 Let us stand up and change the ending.✊🏼💙🪧

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving. There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later. They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

IDK if I should say “he’s a petty, spiteful lil bitch, w the intelligence of a oozing canker sore, who’d fck a tunafish sandwich for attention” because I’m afraid secret service will show up at my door… annnnd send

MADDOW: “What is this country going to allow him to do? This is an attempted authoritarian overthrow of the 🇺🇸 Constitution and Government… imposition of a dictatorial regime. The strength of the movement against him is what will determine our fate as a country.”

When they think no one is looking. *Cops damaging their own cars?

The bird dance for the ages

💙You are the PROBLEM!🤬💙

This is such good news! Now let's see how the government responds. Or fails to.

PLEASE SHARE!! Remember too, that Mark Harris is a PASTOR and also was involved in the ballot harvesting scandal in NC 9 where his own SON testified against him. Their constituents will lose HEALTH CARE. Shameful! #ncpol

Alleged germophobe Donald Trump doesn't give his employees soap to wash their hands.

Okay. This is funny. I don't know who did this but it's great!

The woman who shouted "people will die" at Joni Ernst, India May, is a nurse and a librarian who first got involved in politics by going to a town hall about bills aiming to defund libraries. Now she's running for state house. eu.desmoinesregister.com/story/news/p...

Meet Rep Brandon Gill R-TX, the son-in-law of "pardoned" criminal Dinesh DeSouza. Corruption is a Repugnant pre-requisite. Where did he come up with $850,000? He's been in Congress FOUR MONTHS! [Linked article with details follows]

I mean, how else can they set this guy up to run for Senate and then run the entire NRSC?

Thank goodness someone’s saying what should be obvious. No way in hell is Musk gone.

I plan to write this up--but given the resistance to ICE in San Diego and Kennett, MO, it would be really great if people focused on the $150B in Trump's Big Awful Bill funding FAR MORE of this heavy-handedness. Effectively the bill takes $$ from poor kids and puts it into more more goon squads.

For Handmaid’s Tale fans.

More than a century after the Tulsa Race Massacre of 1921, one of the most horrific episodes of racial violence in U.S. history, the city’s mayor announced a $105 million reparations package on Sunday. It is the first large-scale plan committing funds to address the impact of the atrocity.

Notes from an old broad.. #forfactssake

The Dept. of Justice has filed its first voter suppression lawsuit aimed at disenfranchising voters. This is a critical juncture for democracy. Paige and I discuss the implications and how it echoes claims made by failed state Supreme Court candidate Jefferson Griffin. youtu.be/8XEW-Ga428M

No kings, masters, overlords or any of that bullshit. Time to take the country back.

The hypocrisy is real‼️

This is undoubtedly one of the most vomit inducing words ever spoken in Congress. By someone desperate for the title of 🍊 phatphuk's chief psychophanticunt. You win, Mikey. For now. But you've got lots of competition from other incels who are equally Repugnant. You won't be laughing in 2026.

Dear world, I’m sorry my country is full of idiots.

TOP of the class VS Just have a LITTLE CLASS........

Boyle: We just verified with the congressional budget office and of 13.7 million Americans who will lose their health care because of their bill, exactly zero are undocumented immigrants

Don't miss the scariest committee hearing of the year.

Fact checking alone isn't enough when these people speak Fact-twist-checking is the new gold standard. Sheesh.

So why did Cory Booker vote yes to confirm Charles Kushner to be US AMBASSADOR to France??? @booker.senate.gov EXPLAIN PLEASE.

Crockett: That’s why they hired everybody from Fox because all they’re trying to do is put on a show.. I want us to refocus our attention on the American people and stop demonizing every person that ends up in ICE custody… *Applause* Van Drew: *bangs gavel*

someday we are all going to feel bad that it was the stupid that killed us all . . .

Baldwin to RFK Jr: "Is funding for Alzheimer's research centers DEI? Because you're holding up $65m for 14 of those centers in 9 states, including UW Madison. Is funding for cancer centers DEI? Because you're holding up $47m in cancer center support grants at 9 cancer centers in 8 states."

HASSAN: What is habeas corpus? NOEM: Habeas corpus is a constitutional right that the president has to be able to remove people from this country HASSAN: That's incorrect

Just a few weeks ago people were pitching Cory Booker as a front runner for the 2028 Dem presidential nomination. Tonight he was the only Senate Dem to vote to confirm Jared Kushner’s convict dad as ambassador to France. Sheesh.
