You fight like a dairy farmer!

Everyone needs to be talking about this.

We don't just expect you to vote no. We expect you to whip and enforce the rest of your caucus to vote no as well.

ALL of them.

Corporate Media Buries Story of US and Israel Killing 168 in Girls School Attack No front-page stories in NYT, WSJ, WaPo. No mention on NBC and CBS Sunday Shows. No stand alone segments on Evening News shows. A death count on par with the OKC bombing is relegated to the back page.

I wrote about how the US and Israel carried out an attack on an Iranian girls school on par with the OKC bombing and US media relegated it to a back page story. No stand alone evening news segments, no front page stories, it made A11 in the NYT then everyone moved on.

A Reductress post features a photo of Kristi Noem with the headline, “Kristi Noem Put Down for Being Too Hard to Train”

Trump ousts Noem as frustrations build among White House officials, GOP lawmakers | CNN Politics President Donald Trump said Thursday on social media he was pushing Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem out of her position and would name Oklahoma Sen. Markwayne Mullin to replace her.

Secondary outcome is this takes slack-jawed fascist yokel Markwayne Mullins off the HELP Committee, where he will no longer be able to fawn over quacks like Casey Means, who take advantage of his marked & long-established stupidity.

Let’s be clear: Donald Trump can’t just “appoint” Markwayne Mullin.

Under our Constitution, he has to be confirmed by the Senate.

HER ASS IS FIRED

(TFG nominates Markwayne Mullin to replace her, which means special election in Nov if confirmed)

Cue the end credits music for Veep.

Everyone go pet a dog in honor of this.

Close to 650 federal agents remain in Minnesota weeks after border czar announced end of operation There are still more than quadruple the 150 agents Tom Homan said there would be in the state by the end of last week.

They’re still lying to us.

Star Wars' New Prequel Story Gets 30-Minute Behind the Scenes Look [Exclusive] Penguin Random House has shared a new sit-down interview between the author and narrators of the new Star Wars Outlaws prequel, Low Red Moon.

About two months ago, I got to sit down virtually with Jay Rincon (ND-5) and Eric Johnson (Jaylen) to discuss all things Star Wars Outlaws: Low Red Moon for all sorts of behind-the-scenes goodness and now it's up over at Collider! collider.com/star-wars-ou...

Star Trek is a very serious sci-fi show about exploring space and the human condition.

Also Star Trek: "Hey, remember that Neelix exists and is a main character."

That brief shining moment when Legends of Tomorrow proudly went as weird, goofy, and gay as possible on network TV.

There have been pockets of purple/red reps moving on some votes because of public pressure, so keep calling. Also, you can be like @mostlybree.kitrocha.com and call your shitty rep out of spite.

We have a Steamdeck! I'll check this out, thank you!

This is why @runforsomething.net exists. Like, literally the specific reason. There's still time to get into some 2026 or plan for 2027!

We knew the AAV would be high but it's still 😬

Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders of Arkansas suffered a string of defeats in Tuesday’s state primaries, when two longtime Republican state senators who had blocked her plan to build the state’s biggest prison scored resounding wins against her handpicked challengers and the State Senate majority leader was swept from power by another prison skeptic.

Sarah Huckabee Sanders very very bad primary night

So y'all, please don't play around in November and think voting will be business as usual. Vote early if you can. Vote early if you can. (Yes, I'm saying it twice.) Check your voting location days before. Bring water and snacks and an umbrella and something to read.

The novella Once, Future by @katwithsword.bsky.social is lovely and brilliant. It's in the collection A CATHEDRAL OF MYTH AND BONE.

Objection: What Happened in Dallas County Was Not a Glitch What happened in Dallas County tonight should scare the hell out of you.

What just happened in Dallas County is one of the most blatant voter suppression operations I've ever seen—and it happened in a *primary*.

In March. Imagine November.

I broke it down here:

There's been a lot of debate within the Democratic establishment about what rhetoric to use via ICE.

Well, an incumbent doesn't lose by 48 percentage points very often—and her vote on collaborating with ICE was the defining issue here.
