It is bizarre the way people with guns, bulletproof vests, riot shields, tanks, and other military gear act like rocks are an equal threat. It’s madness! If you are scared of rocks and think the punishment for having them thrown at you should be death, you shouldn’t be in law enforcement!

If there's enough money for a birthday parade and to send unwanted and unwarranted troops to the streets of LA…There's money for Medicaid and SNAP.

Another good thread

My kid told me at noon today that the Pentagon Pizza Report was spiking.

By the way, what's happening with the Russia/Ukraine war I was assured was ongoing only because Joe Biden was a bloodthristy warmonger obstructing the negotiations Vladimir Putin was definitely willing to pursue in good faith?

Remember this?

"to avoid paying income taxes on money he made while moonlighting as a basketball referee for six years" How much money could he have possibly made that he was THIS dedicated to evading taxation on it. He's not reffing NBA games ffs.

Secretary @KristiNoem accusing Padilla of “political theater” is delicious

KNOCK. IT. THE. FUCK. OFF. If you cannot be bothered to do even a MODICUM of research and you have ZERO bullshit detector, log the fuck off til you grow the fuck up. www.snopes.com/fact-check/l...

I hope Trump lets Bibi deal with his own mess.

Ok maybe don’t have a crisis meeting in a vulnerable location when you are being bombed.

It was not a perfect phone call.

Also can confirm. This was Aaron at dinner tonight.

Good thing we had real estate investor Steve Witkoff negotiating deals with Russia and Iran.

Also cannot be emphasized enough: Barack Obama successfully negotiated the shutdown of Iran's nuclear program. It exists today because Trump deliberately tore up that agreement. The deaths happening right now can be laid at his door.

Remember when T***p was campaigning and said there were no wars during his first term?

starting to think some of these trump appointees are not completely up for the tasks at hand it is just this feeling i am getting

Again: do they just let anyone in? No one checks IDs at the door? I can't even get into a doctor's appointment without showing ID, don't f'ing tell me any rando can walk into a DHS press conference. That's bullshit.

Army Col. Anne McClain is currently on the I-S-S, not the M-O-O-N.

So there's at least one half-qualified lawyer left in the DOJ, I guess.

A group of us have arrived on the Senate floor to challenge our colleagues - on both sides of the aside - to rise to this moment and jointly condemn what has happened to Sen. Padilla. Yes we still need to collect the full facts, but this appears to be a defining moment for the country.

GOOD. TROUBLE.

*ahem*

"Well, I gotta know what I'm chewing on" is gonna live in my head for awhile, ngl.

Explain all the things that Congressional Democrats can do which will materially alter Trump's course.

The whole "they thought he was a threat" thing is bullshit. Even if somehow NO ONE knew who he was (unlikely,) what kind of press conference are you running with "administration officials" that you're just letting anyone in? There's no way they're doing that. You can't just stroll up to Noem.

You’ve been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who is coming to save you? Hmmmm.

Because I like to fill my TL with things that Dems are doing that BlueSky users claim don't exist, here's a presser (again led by Jimmy Gomez, who has been everywhere in the last week).

If Chuck Schumer can speak out against Senator Padilla's arrest, so can you. Chuck's right: This is un-American, un-democratic, and totalitarian. Call your Representative and Senators, especially if you live in a red place, this can't just be a Democratic fight.

"barging into" he has every right to be there.

"lunged toward" oh fuck offfffffff

Senator Alex Padilla is one of the most decent people I know. This is outrageous, dictatorial, and shameful. Trump and his shock troops are out of control. This must end now.
