‘We Need to Do McCarthyism to the Tenth Power’ Conservative influencers are pushing for a return to the dark days of 1950s inquisitions.

A small, influential group of right-wingers say their role model, Joseph McCarthy, didn't go far enough, @alibreland.bsky.social reports:

“Sen. Markwayne Mullin of Oklahoma, President Donald Trump’s next pick for Homeland Security secretary, consistently uses his social media platforms to share anti-abortion and anti-trans content. ”

Russia is providing Iran intelligence to target U.S. forces. Not surprising. What IS surprising? Our response: easing oil sanctions on Russia.

This is how liars lie (and how I call it out).

“NBA coaches Steve Kerr and Doc Rivers joined a dozen other current and former coaches and athletic officials to condemn political interference with college campuses in a joint statement issued Thursday.” 👏👏 🏫📚🧑‍🔬

“With the face of a Muppet & the physique of a Furby, the [flightless] Kākāpō is an all-around preposterous creature. It’s nocturnal, lime green…[,] produce[s] a strong, fruity musk, can weigh as much as a house cat & can potentially live for 90 years or more.” ❣️

Hochul on Tariffs: I was in the room when he found out he lost. He got the piece of paper, looked down at it, and said, “You know, the Supreme Court just ruled. Looks like they ruled against us.”

He took a couple of questions on other topics, but then he stormed out of the room.

No More Benefit Of The Doubt Last Sunday, we discussed a number of cases pending in front of federal district judges in Minneapolis.

Some judicial opinions have to be read in full, like the one I parse for you to night, from Judge Tunheim in Minneapolis.

NEW: Federal judges have spent months ordering ICE to give detainees a chance for release in bond hearings.

Now, they're worried that the bond hearings themselves — conducted by Executive Branch immigration judges — are a farce.

Coffee, straight out of my nose.

Our dictator killed the Iranian dictator so the Iranians could have free elections.

The Iranian dictator and Jeffrey Epstein were best buddies.

Our dictator never heard of Jeffrey Epstein.

There have been some very bad developments today.

CPAC Head Says Iranian Schoolgirls Are Better Dead Than “in a Burqa” Leading Republicans don’t seem to care about the bombing of a girls’ school in Iran.

Conservative MAGA ideologue Matt Schlapp has attempted to justify the killing of more than 100 young girls at an elementary school in southern Iran, by claiming they were saved from religious extremism.

My statement on Secretary Noem's firing:

Trump gets angry at Fox News' Peter Doocy for asking about Russia helping Iran to kill Americans during his roundtable on college sports.

Trump: "What a stupid question that is to be asking at this time. We're talking about something else."

Priorities for the US Commander in Chief.

Measles is 'worse than expected' in Utah, officials say Measles patients in Utah are developing severe complications, health officials say, including potentially life-threatening anemia and liver inflammation.

For RFK Jr and his “measles isn’t serious” disciples:

Noem is gone, sort of, but there are lessons to be learned from her tenure, how she was fired, and why it didn’t happen earlier, why the Senate confirmed her in the first place, that we can”t afford to ignore joycevance.substack.com/p/fired-but-...

Like clockwork.

Instead of spending $50 billion to bankroll Trump’s criminal war on Iran, we could:

-Extend ACA subsidies for one year
-Restore SNAP benefits for 2.4 million people
-And ensure Medicaid coverage for nearly 2 million people

It’s not about what we can afford. It’s about priorities.
