Omg yes. I always just assumed she was paid by them. But once I found out she was in their camp a few years ago I was no longer in her corner. I mean, she could be in the cult for all I know, but either way I no longer really care what she has to say.

#AZ A toddler who can't speak was ordered to prepare legal documents in immigration court or be removed from the country. No attorney was there to help. This is happening to children across the system since federal legal aid contracts were allowed to lapse on July 31. Absurd? FIRE THE GOP! #Pinks

I heard Elon gave Paxton a hummer in the back of a Tesla on the Congress street bridge while Paxton put a finger in Elon's butt....whil both we dressed as Nazi SS officers..... Allegedly......
Bill Corbett@billcorbett.bsky.social · 3d agoVery good opportunity to link Musk, who people universally LOATHE, to the almost comically corrupt Paxton. Bundle these shitheads together as the enemies of working people and don’t let up.

Mary David Teater@dteater.bsky.social · 5d agoI cannot wait for Trump‘s deposition. So much corruption the deposition will take days. The deposition of Todd, Blanche, days. This administration is the most corrupt administration in American history. The rage that most Americans are living with is unbearable. I want Justice.
I'm sure DeSantis will pardon him if he's "donated" enough.
Sanho Tree@sanho.bsky.social · 3d agoThis is the most Republican story you will read all day. A Republican who represents Trump’s home district was arrested for molesting his OWN GRANDSON and could face the death penalty under a state law he sponsored. There has to be a German word for this.
‘U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth "hid" how Iran had destroyed much of the main resupply base for the U.S. military in the Middle East, according to MS Now, as concerns grow about the conditions faced by sailors on board USS Abraham Lincoln.’

No governor in Texas history has driven more teachers away from the classroom than Greg Abbott. That's a fact.
This admin will not stop shooting themselves in the dick because they're so mad they weren't able to shoot someone else. This case was already thrown out due to a finding of vindictive prosecution, and their response is to be more vindictive.

Johnson: If we lose the midterms, these Democrats will turn every committee of Congress into an investigative body, and they'll go after the president's family, the cabinet, his donors, friends, half of you in this room will be targeted. I run the protection program. We’ll take care of you.

Ballou on Epstein Files Hearing: There were just long periods of silence in the courtroom as the DOJ struggled to articulate why it couldn’t follow the law here. I had never really been in a hearing like that, where one side was just silent on their own arguments…
I love it when a longstanding sense, based on mountains and mountains of hard evidence, that a given person is an utter PoS ends strong with a powerful if fleeting confirmation that sometimes our instincts about who has any integrity whatsoever and who does not turn out to be dead on

Trump, clearly feeling low on attention today, is outside the White House ranting and raving like a lunatic about his various vanity projects around the White House

Robert Reich@rbreich.bsky.social · 4d agoWe are projected to spend $268 BILLION on deportations — costing the average American taxpayer about $2,358 (according to @epi.org). But somehow we “can’t afford” to make sure hungry children can eat or ensure everyone, no matter their income, can access healthcare. Priorities.
People who don’t know the difference between ‘entomology’ and ‘etymology’ bug us in ways we cannot put into words.
To all the people whining about any commentary on Natalie Harp: We’re paying her $150,000 salary. Trump isn’t. Perfectly legitimate to ask what job serving the public she’s doing.
Abbott created the Texas data center gold rush w/massive tax breaks. Now, during an election, he suddenly wants to act concerned. Gina Hinojosa calls bullshit: “Greg Abbott is messaging different… Everybody knows that come November 4th, the day after the election, he’ll sing a new song.”
