“Guys, they want us to go home.” 🔥 🇫🇷 French short film about what would happen to society if all the immigrants listened to angry old racist white men and left (aka the Republican agenda)
Jared Kushner is not "on the other side of the aisle." He's not an elected official. He's not an administration official. He's the president's son-in-law and a private citizen. You do not, in fact, have to take meetings with relatives of the president. Some might even say you should *not* do that
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 2d agoJeffries defends his meeting with Kushner: "I'm of the view that if we're going to be committed to actually solving problems on behalf of the American people ... they're are gonna be times that you have to speak with people on the other side of the aisle. Even people you strongly disagree with."
"What are they hiding?" is always a stupid line, but it's rich coming from the guy who got caught taking a $50,000 bribe in a Cava bag.
The Bulwark@thebulwark.com · 2d agoHeinrich: Is ICE going to be raiding polling places? Homan: "I have not seen any operational plans…They don't want ICE near polling places, don't want voters ID, don't want observers. What are they hiding? There is no plan for enforcement action at polling places."
Here’s a thought. Russia leaves Ukraine, then Ukraine stops hitting the diesel fuel. 😒🖕🏻
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 2d agoTrump: "Zelenskyy has to do one thing -- he has to stop knocking out diesel fuel in Russia. He's causing a shortage of diesel fuel. This isn't done by the Middle East, this is done by what's happening with Russia and Ukraine."
Yes!!! To all of this. 📚 gifted article 🎁 Enjoy!!!

My demographic, Generation Jones (1954-1965), was told to “go outside and play and come home when the street lights came on” or “be back in time for dinner” 🤷🏻♀️ How about your age group?

📚What are you reading? I love this series. 1890s Victorian England private enquiry agents. Historical fiction I was hooked at book 1, sentence 1: ASSISTANT to prominent enquiry agent. Typing and shorthand required. Some danger involved in performance of duties. Salary commensurate with ability
The last speaker at the 9/11 remembrance ceremony lost his father to the attacks.
Remembering 9/11 and never forgetting what good friends and neighbo(u)rs you are. Thank you, Canada 🇨🇦
To every reporter who stands there as Trump shouts down one of your (almost always female) colleagues with insults and bullying behavior without standing up for them -- you know the rest of us can see and hear you, right?
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 4d agoQ: On the checks, we have $40t in debt. If your economic policies are working, why do you need an incentive for people to turn out to vote? T: I'm doing it as a reward for having to put up w/Biden Q: You also offered tariff refunds-- TRUMP: Not you Q: And that didn't happen T: You're the worst
"The mainstream media, is, unsurprisingly, not covering itself in glory as it struggles to avoid saying that either the president’s brain has completely left the station or that he’s a mendacious liar who knows no bounds, or both."
The muted response to Trump 9/11 fantasy is a media failure
It’s not “disputed.” He’s delusional.

This is the interview Trump’s FCC doesn’t want you to see. We’re not just going up against the most corrupt politician in Texas. We’re going up against this entire corrupt system.
On this eve of 9/11, a reminder that some of the heroes of that tragedy had four legs.
Excuse my language but Fuck you Todd. And all the people who attacked law enforcement and were pardoned for doing so. 🖕🏽
Democrats should be at the microphone right now noting that this is a Hatch Act violation that they'll be pursuing in January. I don't care that the nation's become numb to this shit. It's still illegal and if Democrats should run against it and then act to crush it.
D Lavoie@djlavoie.bsky.social · 5d agoThe Attorney General of the United States is speaking at an explicitly partisan political rally tonight and I would never have even known if I wasn't a loser who looked up the speaking schedule myself. The Loretta Lynch tarmac meeting is so quaint.
Hoping all of these are on the to-do list for @oversightdemocrats.bsky.social in the coming years
Mark Jacob@markjacob.bsky.social · 5d agoLet's remember: / AG Todd Blanche still won't fully release the Epstein files, in violation of federal law. / Howard Lutnick is still Commerce secretary, despite blatantly lying about his Epstein ties. / Border czar Tom Homan still won't say what happened to the $50K he took in an FBI bribery sting.
Tuned in to get the local news … Yes, you read that right.
