Hearings like this are a reminder that if you work for Donald Trump, you are a person of low character and have no integrity. There are no exceptions.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 9h ago😮 Trump's nominees are the most pathetic men in the world 😮 During a hearing, Blumenthal made Trump nominees squirm by asking them who won the 2020 election -- a question they refuse to answer -- but then Schiff upped the ante by asking them *who won the 2016 election.* Here's a supercut:
Jon Husted looked this mother in the eye, and promised he wouldn't vote to cut her daughter's health care. One week later, that's exactly what he did.
The Heritage Foundation asserts that women never needed sports in the first place. To prove that Title IX has become a tool of “feminist social engineering.” To demonstrate that women don’t need sports and that “clubs, intramurals, and exercise classes” is enough. open.substack.com/pub/jesspipe...

And they'll take away women's sports...

This is brilliant advice! (I am pretty sure this is John C. Reilly too.)

El-Sayed, Lawrence and McKinney all won progressive campaigns in Michigan last night by talking about climate and clean energy like it was a kitchen-table issue — because skyrocketing energy bills and endless wildfire smoke matter to people.
"Segregation now, segregation forever" seems to be the MAGA way.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 10h agoDURBIN: You wrote an article in which you claimed 'Black inmates are most like to become sexual aggressors.' Why should people of color believe you've changed? CRONAN: I co-authored the article. I haven't re-read it in a long time. DURBIN: Do you believe it? CRONAN: I'm not in a position to opine
The only way to use the toilet safely and without fear is to bring one with you wherever you go. Buy a portable AMERICAN bathroom now.
Such blatant racism is appalling from anyone, but especially the Vice President.

Another instance of Trump and his cronies creating a horrible environment that will do nothing to boost morale for everyone except rapists and bad actors.

Greg Sargent@gregsargent.bsky.social · 14h agoIt's funny that Jeanine Pirro brought a box of evidence to WH to persuade Trump. He wants her to consciously *throw out* exculpatory facts and *knowingly* prosecute innocent people. So facts can't persuade him by definition. Me and @barbmcquade.bsky.social on this: newrepublic.com/article/2139...
Let's all sit with the fact that the president wants to jail some random person who is self-evidently innocent. It's not surprising, but it's amazing that much of the media is almost completely disinterested in this fact.

There is no "division over the Democratic party". In fact, there is no "Democratic Party". There is the flipside of the Republican fascists, the status-quo party who are completely ineffective in all things simultaneously, and the DSA, which actually DOES things for the citizenry. Cry more.
I wish the public at large would be more outraged as President Bone Spurs wages his war against our Troops by his racist xenophobic actions that weaken unity and morale.
Kyle Griffin@kylegriffin1.bsky.social · 13h agoWASHINGTON (AP) — Trump administration has detained more than 50 spouses, parents of US troops in immigration crackdown, AP review finds.
One more interesting point: this spring I sat down with Sharyn Alfonsi of 60 Minutes for an extensive interview about my Epstein investigation. Subsequently, CBS pulled the segment and fired the reporter. The MAGA buyout of media has unquestionably aided the Trump administration’s cover up here.
Senator Ron Wyden@wyden.senate.gov · 2d agoBombshell new report out from my investigators this morning spanning our four year investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s financial records. This report shows exactly how Wall Street protected Epstein and enabled his sex trafficking for decades. Mega thread following with some key points:
Trump: "We control the strait totally" (Trump is currently trying to negotiate to open the strait because Iran controls it)
Run that on a loop in the TikTok feeds.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 22h agoTrump: "I think we should be given an A+ on the economy"
ok how many GOP members of congress are secretly dying/dead? this is getting out of hand
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · yesterday😳 Rep. Pete Stauber indicates there's something gravely wrong with Tom Emmer's health: "You have no idea what Congressman Emmer is dealing with right now. If you did, you would've never made that comment. He's fighting for his damn life today!"
Our thoroughly corrupt electoral system.
You could have voted no on Blanche. Idiot.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · yesterdayCornyn: "There's nothing we could do to rein in the president"
What a pile of crap. The GOP is a bunch of weak racists.

This will get a fraction of the attention that Zohran Mamdani got for calling Netanyahu a war criminal.
Kyle Clark@kylec.bsky.social · yesterdayDepicting Jewish people with horns is a centuries-old, dehumanizing, antisemitic trope. Democratic Gov nominee Phil Weiser is outspoken about his mother’s birth in a Nazi concentration camp, his family members killed in the Holocaust, and the threat posed by antisemitism today.
