“and I’ll try to answer them as honestly as I can” You can be honest or dishonest. Dishonest, misleading, gaslighting, omission, half-truth, deceptive… those options are still on the table, if he “can’t” answer honestly.

How in the fuck do we live in a world where women still let others frame the abortion debate as being about whether a foetus is a person, when the real debate is about whether a woman is a fucking person? #NewsCorpse

You're talking shit for the hell of it Addicted to betrayal, but you're relevant You're terrified to look down 'Cause if you dare, you'll see the glare Of everyone you burned just to get there It's coming back around And I keep my side of the street clean You wouldn't know what I mean -Taylor Swift

Please read this story

This is who Republicans just made FBI Director. Kash Patel calls for “offensive operations” to jail Americans who they consider “the enemy.” “We will go out and find the conspirators... Yes, we are going to come after the people in the media”

Censorship? What censorship? /s

😡

Great. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Denise Chung—a 24-year DOJ veteran—just resigned rather than, what in her view, fabricate probable cause at the Deputy AG’s direction. This isn’t just a canary in the coal mine. It’s the coal mine coming. The Constitution demands probable cause. She refused to cross that line.

“We salute and admire the courage many of you have already exhibited and that will guide all of you as you continue to serve the interests of justice. You’ve responded to ethical challenges of a type no public servant should ever be forced to confront..."

Not just in the US

We have been careful to avoid using the word coup, but it’s time to call it what it is—this is a coup. Trump signed an executive order granting only the attorney general or the president the authority to interpret laws executed by the executive branch.

BREAKING: NY Gov. Hochul just issued a new statement that the resignation of NYC Mayor Eric Adams’ top aides “raises serious questions about the future of this mayoral administration.” and that she’ll convene a meeting tomorrow to discuss the mayor’s future. She isn't ruling out removing Mr. Adams.

JUST IN: Another medical horror story in an affidavit from a USAID employee stationed overseas. Says his pregnant wife was not medevac-ed for emergency health care because of directives from DC. Took intervention of a U.S. senator to reverse — but was too late. s3.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

. Trump and his team despise the rule of law both at home and abroad. Those who swear an oath to Trumpism above an oath to the constitution do so at their own peril. When you have cut down all the laws that protect you and the devil turns on you. Where will you hide? .

@sanders.senate.gov: "You're looking at enormous power & wealth in the hands of a small number of people who could care less about working class people... They suffer from the addiction of greed. You got $50 billion? Ain't enough. We got to cut SS so I can get a tax break and maybe get $55 billion."

A cold civil war ... never thought I'd be writing that, but here we are.

In Australia, one man was so defeated by “the system” that he blew up his own house in a townhouse complex. Badly damaged multiple homes nearby. The body corp was increasing fees sky high, & his mortgage had quadrupled in less than a year, & if he sold, he’d be in debt hundreds of thousands. 1/
