This is what happens when higher ed is controlled by people who think all education is vocational training.

Pam Bondi thinks an overheated stock market excuses decades of child rape by the wealthy.

Tulsi Gabbard defends her presence at FBI search of Georgia elections hub Gabbard, who is prohibited from participating in domestic law enforcement as director of national intelligence, said she facilitated a call between FBI agents and President Trump.

So maybe Trump is going to have another opportunity to mismanage a lethal crisis and try to treat it like a PR problem. Good times...

Remind me what Tillis did when the Senate had the chance to put a permanent end to Trump's nonsense five years ago?

The GOP senators are all cowards.

Great song

Saint Paul Public Schools, one of the biggest school districts in the state, is closed for the next two days because teachers need time to build hybrid learning because unaccountable masked, armed federal government goons have made it too difficult for nonwhite children to leave their homes.

Thank you for sharing.

The best of the best at DHS, I tell ya...

Whether it’s Donald Trump tanking the economy, shredding the Constitution, and executing civilians or Joe Biden having a raspy voice at a debate, both men have defiled all that is sacred about about our nation.

I think a lot about the Bundys and what they got away with at Bunkerville in 2014. But there's an asymmetry at work because the Obama administration was looking to maintain rule of law, not create an "emergency" that could be used to justify more authoritarianism.

This ignorant, hateful pig threatens to deploy the military to Minneapolis

He IS the crime wave

Matt Walsh on Minneapolis: "The whole city must be taught a lesson. How much do we have to deal with from these people? They must be punished."

I guess Matt Walsh took a break from obsessing about kids' genitals today.

We have Justin Amash and Bill Kristol saying ABOLISH ICE before most Democrats.

What does that say about the Democratic establishment?

Primary season is on right now, folks.

We all deserve better.

I know it’s not going stop the lying but the shooter who killed Good wasn’t “saving” anyone by firing at the car, he was just making it more likely more people would be hurt.

Idaho Senator Jim Risch says we are not at war with Venezuela Sen. Jim Risch spoke with Idaho News 6 about the U.S. removal of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, control of the nation’s oil, and rising tensions over drug trafficking and sanctioned ships.

Weak sauce here from Sen. Risch. Says he hasn't heard of a plan to take Greenland, as if that's dispositive. If he were a leader, he would be out making sure EVERYONE knows what a bad idea it would be.

Thoughts, @achillesid.bsky.social? #idpol

We Will All Pay For The Sins Of Trump YouTube video by Mr Global

I find it amusing beyond belief that Trump is supposed to be a genius businessman, but still hasn't figured out that oil is a globally traded commodity with a cartel setting the prices.

America has a bit of a couch-fucker problem.

Right-wing Influencers descend on day cares across the U.S. after Minnesota fraud claims Clips of people knocking on the doors of day care centers purportedly run by Somali immigrants are being viewed millions of times online. Critics call it harassment.

Remember when the rightwing fringe was trying to protect kids from creeps with cameras? www.nbcnews.com/tech/interne...

The Dog That Didn't Bark in the Maduro Op Cuban intelligence runs Venezuela's security apparatus. Where was it when the U.S. snatched the Venezuelan strongman?

Reasonable to ask whether Americans just got played by Cubans and Venezuelans who will now stay in power in Caracas and who understood that after 24 or so hours of gringo euphoria this will be a disaster for the US.

You and me both

I can think of some folks who need to internalize this.

As others have said, most of "conservative" outrage is down to not knowing how stuff works, nor why.

MAGA is a symptom, Trump named and exploited it. If we can't isolate and address the causes, we're going to keep doing this dance until the authoritarians win for the long term.
