Obama: Every day you wake up to things you just didn’t think were possible. Each day we’re told by those in high office to fear each other. Everywhere we see greed and bigotry being celebrated, and bullying and mockery masquerading as strength.

Almost there…
I’m trying to figure out if his years as a progressive were a scam, if the stroke really cooked his brain, or if the AIPAC money bought him out.
South Dakota's "Meth. We're on it" campaign
I'll always remember Kristi Noem for the "Meth. We're on it." campaign.
Democrats find a cause that unites them.
Trump says this is now the most competent, qualified person in America to be in charge of Homeland Security. bsky.app/profile/atru...
The reason we have “stupid rules of engagement” is to make sure we don’t bomb elementary schools.
NOEM: I would disagree with the judge
CROCKETT: I'm sure you would, but can you tell me whether or not you have a law degree?
NOEM: A what?
CROCKETT: A law degree
NOEM: No I do no-
CROCKETT: Okay
It is so damning of US news media that so many outlets refuse to just straight up say that Senator Tim Sheehy assaulted an activist.
He did not "help" Capitol police. They did not need his help. He wanted to assault the guy and did. He should resign.
Kristi Noem’s goon squad must be shitting their pants.
"It is fraud" -- Neguse nails Kristi Noem for lying during her testimony yesterday when she told the Senate that DHS's $220m ad campaign starring her "went out to a competitive bid" (it did not), and tells her "I think there's gonna be accountability" (1/2)
Another ally gone!
The white house's response:
Ehhhhh
Back when I played, I switched main to a female character and got a huge wakeup call to how girls were treated. From people dropping group “Ugh. Girls can’t tank,” to getting hit on constantly when they saw I could…
For a game and world I absolutely loved… I don’t miss it, bc of the other players.
Congrats! All my best for a great convention, safe travels, and no con crud!
Just a thought, maybe SecDef shouldn’t jerk himself off on live television at the thought of casualties in war.
War isn’t something to be giddy about. Were the most powerful nation on the planet. We’re supposed to be the quiet professionals, not carnival barking morons.
Most of them are part of the administration.
The Trump admin very well prepared for this moment as always.

Trump: "Spain said we can't use their bases. We could use their bases if we want. We could just fly in and use it. Nobody is gonna tell us not to use it"
Not receiving consent and moving forward anyway is a consistent theme in his life — as E. Jean Carroll can attest
No Democrat should vote for a single penny of a military appropriation for the Iran War until they first get to vote on a Declaration of War.
WELCH: Mr. Yoho is also the husband of your former spokesperson, Tricia McLaughlin?
NOEM: Yes
WELCH: So your former assistant and her husband are the ones that got the DHS no bid contract for $143m. Any dispute about that?
NOEM: No.
So, in launching a huge bombing campaign on Iran they apparently didn't plan for:
- Who takes over;
- Interceptor shortages from sustained drone retaliation;
- How to defend US bases in the region;
- Threats to ships in the Strait of Hormuz; and
- How to evacuate Americans with airspace closed.
Our nation is again at war, not because we had to but because the president recklessly chose to.
Now we must recognize who pays the price: not the president and his wealthy allies, but service members and ordinary Americans.
Go @hillaryclinton.bsky.social. Absolutely 💯 percent correct.
Religious loonies in charge of the US military “urged us to tell our troops that this was ‘all part of God’s divine plan’ and he specifically referenced numerous citations out of the Book of Revelation referring to Armageddon and the imminent return of Jesus Christ.”
… Yikes.
Haha! They’re throwing Vance under the bus.
Marco Rubio: "No presidential administration has ever accepted the War Powers Act as constitutional"
One of the greatest, Bruce Campbell, announcing he has cancer. Our hearts are with you Bruce, Hail to the King.
"Advocacy groups" is the giveaway here.
We have former NYT staff detailing the deep transphobic bent at an editorial level. We have dozens of examples of articles with scientifically unsound sourcing. We have court cases citing said articles as grounds for stripping rights.
But yeah. Demented.
But when his country called for Trump to serve, his daddy’s tenant faked a bone spurs diagnosis so someone else could go in his place.
For everyone else, “that’s the way it is.” bsky.app/profile/meid...
Can you come take him back to CT?
