I love this so much

They are torturing and killing people in our concentration camps, and I wish more people were actively bothered by that

Not gonna share the video of Republican US Senator Tim Sheehy breaking a protesting Marine's hand, but you can find it on @charlotteclymer.bsky.social's timeline.

I'll just say that in a functional country, Sheehy would be expelled by the Senate.

Democratic Senators should publicly push for that.

Watch Rep Joe Neguse (D-CO) take apart Kristi Noem (R-SD) with surgical precision over her corrupt and fraudulent $200 million no bid ad campaign for DHS. This man never ceases to amaze me with how good he is at this. Great job congressman!!🎯🎯🎯

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

Having suffered the pain of a tooth infection I can unequivocally say that this man died in absolute agony. The type of nerve pain that will have you screaming and wondering quite rightly if you’ve gone insane

This man was tortured through neglect, and everyone involved is an irredeemable monster

Ms Kamlager-Dove is my Rep and she just asked Kristi if she was boning some dude on the plane bed with her husband in the audience and never have I been more proud of my vote. South LA don't fuck around

Some results from last night:

-A pro-ICE NC Dem lawmaker lost her primary by nearly 50 points
-Dems flipped a GOP-held state House seat in Arkansas
-Dem turnout eclipsed GOP turnout in four newly-gerrymandered TX House seats

Trump's midterm reckoning has begun.

Cruel and inhumane prison conditions — or as Kristi Noem calls it: a great photo op

Here's the @balint.house.gov exchange I wrote up earlier. Thanks to @atrupar.com for clipping it.

NEGUSE: “Where is Safe America Media headquartered?”

NOEM: “I don’t know.” 🤷🏼‍♀️

@neguse.house.gov grills @KristiNoem on an INSANELY CORRUPT $143 MILLION CONTRACT going to a shady new company tied to her allies with no previous experience… as she blocks investigations.🤔

There is so much corruption, the public hates corruption. Make sure the public knows about the corruption.

Former Middle East adviser at the US Department of Defense, Jasmine El-Gamal, has it exactly right.

A U.S. citizen. A Hmong elder. No criminal record. Agents rammed his door, dragged him outside in freezing weather — even though the person they were looking for had been in jail for years. Secretary Noem still won’t say it was wrong.

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.

@votevets.org omg 😳

Trump demolished more than one wing of the WH.

He added $12.5T to US debt in one term; this is large scale demolition of our entire economy with multi-pronged approach.

Meanwhile, we're not being governed. We're being looted.

Even an enemy could not have done it better.

Their silence speaks louder than any anthem: Iranian women will not bow to tyranny. As the regime crumbles under Israeli and American strikes, these athletes join millions of Iranians declaring they are done living under oppression. This is courage. This is resistance.

Just a random reminder that over 50 members of Congress collectively own millions of dollars in defense contractor stocks.

They stand to personally profit from wars that enrich these contractors.

Make no mistake, this is legalized corruption.

Watch how they vote this week.

Like I need people to let go of the idea that limits exist for these people. They're already claiming Walz is too German to be a real American. White men from Minnesota are in danger so why would you think that any group is safe?

The Pentagon confirmed there was NO sign that Iran was going to attack the U.S.

No imminent threat.
No authorization from Congress.
No reason our service members should be dead.
And no exit plan or strategy.

This war on Iran is a reckless and deadly mistake by this regime.

This is actually a pretty good summary of where we’re at, and how we got here.

How did our freedoms end up in Iran?

The American people deserved to get a clear explanation of why servicemembers lives are at risk and why their gas prices are about to skyrocket. Instead, they got this.

Pete Hegseth just said: "We didn't start this war."

The Trump Administration is blatantly lying to the American people about the war.

"Aside from the internment camps used to incarcerate Japanese Americans in the 1940s, such facilities have no precedent in American history..."

US Conference of Catholic Bishops statement on Trump's new mass prison camps.

Full statement at the link:

At least 63 children were killed when joint US/Israel strikes hit a girl’s school in Iran

92 others are injured, while still more are trapped beneath the ruins

Trump has evolved from a dictator to a monster

1/ Let me get this straight.

We had a nuclear deal with Iran - Trump tore it up.
The U.S. “totally obliterated” Iranian nuclear sites last year.
Now we’re launching “major combat operations” to stop Iran’s nuclear program… again? 🤔. #DV1 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy

🎯🎯

A United States senator from the president's own party, one who serves on the Select Committee on Intelligence and the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations, has no idea what's going on as America goes to war with Iran.
