Moreno: "Rogers is in a race w/ somebody that is an affront to me as an American. El-Sayed can be nowhere near DC. Do you think he understands that concept that our rights come from God Almighty? That Jesus came here for our salvation? He should be nowhere near DC & Rogers is going to kick his ass."

I’m so sick of being told that trans rights don’t poll well. Anyone who tells you that will turn on any minority group if they find it politically convenient to do so. They’d vote to bring back Jim Crow if they thought it’d get a dem in office.

Something trump will never ever have is the historical gravitas of an Obama speech. It just doesn’t compare and it never will.

My understanding is Mike won’t have a say in the matter either way if republicans lose the house. The new incoming members seat the speaker and that won’t be him lol

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 23h ago

RAJU: So if Trump says 'Don't seat Democrats,' you'll resist him? MIKE JOHNSON: I'll do my job as Speaker. The president has vowed of course that he wants to follow the law as well.

1/ Last month, I obtained details of a plan by Trump's EPA to weaken restrictions on methane pollution from oil and gas wells. Last night the EPA largely confirmed what I had seen. Here’s what it means for the climate — and who stands to benefit:

Jezebel’s new owner is reportedly deleting old blogs that aren’t “brand safe,” which means that this very timely investigation I did into a sketchy reality TV producer pushing a rape lawsuit against Trump is seemingly just gone. When I click the link it just goes to their homepage

A national march on the mall in DC that’s just about trump’s tacky design choices.

So funny because Lula an extremely known quality who oversaw the biggest period of growth in Brazil’s economy but in the news “ the economy” is actually a stand in for the neoliberal policy preferences of the global wealthy elites.

Trump is BIG MAD about Obama saying the White House now looks like Saddam opened a Cheesecake Factory: "He's not a smart guy. He's not smart at all ... for you to say it's a Cheesecake Factory, that just shows why you were a lousy president"
