Oh SHIT!!!

Jared Moskowitz ends a speech laying out Noem's corruption with Corey (just after she basically could not deny fucking him) by saying, "I got you the Coast Guard blanket you lost."

β€œAt the end of the day, she didn’t sound any better than some of these ultra-conservative people who were demeaning Black and Brown folk on a regular basis,” said Rev. Rodney Sadler, a Bible scholar and longtime community activist in Charlotte. β€œIt felt like a betrayal of the utmost.”

Cunningham’s comments proved so problematic for Sadler that he said he realized that she was β€œno longer worthy of being our representative” and he had to run against her. β€œIt drove me to a point of saying, β€˜She needs to go, and she needs to go now,’” the 58-year-old pastor, who works at Charlotte’s Union Presbyterian Seminary, told Bolts.

this guy challenged a sitting Democratic lawmaker in yesterday's primary, angered by her pro-ICE vote, and he ousted her 70% to 22%.

As stupid as the subpoenas to the Clintons (especially Hillary) were, it laid the groundwork for this.

FWIW, on Xitter I'm seeing right wing propagandists applauding Kamlager-Dove for asking Noem about fucking Lewandowski.

Right wingers have had it with her too--and for the reason that Moskowitz and others mentioned, bc she killed one of Trump's most popular issues.

Incidentally, I somehow first learned of this on Xitter from him--he's trying to get in front of it.

Probably end up breaking something else by doing so.

And to make things crazier, once that happens, consumers are going to figure out they're being taxed to pay for the tax they were illegally taxed.

CNN's front page, which focuses on "Middle East evacuation flights ramp up as Iran conflict widens." 

In the bottom right, there are two stories, one about Collins' conflict with Leavitt, another about the six IDs of those killed. I've marked it with a pink rectangle.

After Whiskey Pete threw a tantrum yesterday and then Karoline Leavitt attacked Kaitlan Collins because the media reported on the people Trump got killed in Kuwait, note that MOST outlets are not prominently covering IDs of fifth and sixth KIA, as Reuters did.

[WARNING: This is a bit graphic.]

A Marine Corps veteran protesting Trump’s War on Iran had his arm broken by Capitol Police and GOP Senator Tim Sheehy. It appears to be a compound fracture.

RASKIN: Is it lawful for federal agents to shoot and kill a person for engaging in peaceful protest?

NOEM: No

RASKIN: Is it lawful for agents to shoot someone just for driving away from them?

NOEM: No

Dear @oversightdemocrats.bsky.social ::

Now that you’ve subpoenaed Bondi, keep in mind that it’s kind of pointless to ask her questions. Make your point, force republicans to use their time to let her respond with her nonsense, and interrupt her liberally.

JUST IN: A federal judge has barred Gov DeSantis from designating CAIR as a terrorist organization and punish those who associate with the group.

Trump’s furious reaction to Sanchez not allowing πŸ‡ͺπŸ‡Έbases to be used to stage the war on Iran exposes an uncomfortable truth for Merz.

Europe would have leverage over Trump if they threatened to deny him use of their territory to wage global war.

After watching Senator Tim Sheehy assault a marine on the floor of Congress today, I was reminded that I already did several videos on his shady, shady past.

How Montana chose this man who has zero political experience over a deeply experienced incumbent is the embodiment of FAFO.

What does history tell us about where Trump’s war in Iran could be headed?

Does bombing a country weaken authoritarian regimes or harden them?

Perhaps unsurprising for Miami, but I still find it notable that the three students quoted with most sexist, bigoted and antisemitic texts are named Bejerano, Gonzalez, and Valdes.

As someone said recently, America is such a melting pot that these days even our white supremacists are multicultural.

BOTH Democratic U.S. Senate candidates should be furious about how this is being handled in Texas.

It benefits one candidate today. But the same chaos that helped them in the primary can absolutely burn them the general.
