EXCLUSIVE: Rep. Delia Ramirez is bringing a bill to eliminate DHS a day after the raid on Rep. Ilhan Omar’s home.

Nothing is more of a validator of Jon Ossoff’s rhetoric than the Applebees salad bar fantasist David Brooks reaching for the fainting couch

David Brooks thinks it's more of a disgrace to call out a bigot than to be one

statler and waldorf but it’s al-sayed and ossoff heckling republicans

There’s this strange belief that saying the enemy’s name lends them strength, but the implicit underpinning of that idea is that saying their name requires you to adopt subtly apologetic, fearful, hedged criticisms. If you say their name while slugging them in the face, you simply look unafraid.

Holy. Shit. This guy should be the 2028 nominee. Full stop.

Ossoff: "If John Lewis were marching today from Selma to Montgomery, Mike Collins would be grabbing a billy club"

Eric Deters: "Kimberly Guilfoyle is a grifter. Kimberly Guilfoyle I have no doubt has done this to more than me. She's doing it right now in Greece. I know Corey Lewandowski did this stuff. I know Kristi Noem did this stuff."

Whats the plan if they call fraud and don’t certify midterms? Are we scaling walls as tourists do?

Every person who's able should be speaking to and about ICE and other Nazi scum with profanity. Fuck Nazis and their gestpo squads.

Paramore’s Hayley Williams unleashes profanity-filled response after DHS tells her to ‘thank’ ICE

Trump: "With the war, it's just artificial. It's a little bit high. It's a small price to pay ... let them take out Los Angeles, let them take out San Diego. This is a very small price to pay."

This is exactly the same as "We shouldn't do impeachment because it will fail." You impeach. And then you do it again. And then you do it again. And you make the far right authoritarian party block it in the Senate, again and again.

So you make him and the gop kill it. Pass good stuff that people want and make it explicit that the only thing standing between us and paradise is the gop

If ashli babbitt's family can get $5 million after she literally broke into the Capitol to overturn an election, Renee Good's family should get at least triple that for ICE agents murdering her in the damn street.

🚨BREAKING: The Trump administration illegally changed a form used by overseas voters to register and request mail ballots just weeks before the midterms, Democrats argue in a new lawsuit filed Thursday. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Trump admin quietly changed overseas voter form at 11th hour to disenfranchise Democrats, lawsuit says

The change is part of a Republican plan to make it more difficult to vote or outright disenfranchise a bloc of voters viewed as more inclined to vote Democratic, the DNC lawsuit argues.

One of the all-time amazing albums. This recording influenced my musical imagination like no other. Incredible harmonic choices I sometimes still become aware of for the first time.

Sen. Eric Schmitt expressed no remorse for falsely accusing Jack Smith of lying to Congress about attending a basketball game as a guise to investigate Trump. “He has lied before to Congress,” the Missouri Republican said.

I know you guys get it, but the clearest sign that the Prestige Press is totally in his pocket -- something that even your apolitical or MAGA pals would get -- is that he ALLOWS himself to be shown dozing in his meetings and they NEVER MENTION IT

Trump appears to be completely passed out asleep during his 2pm Oval Office announcement

What people are starved for is leaders who will stand up to the lawless authoritarianism & unprecedented corruption & demand both accountability & institutional reform so it never happens again 🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️

Yikes, @newsweek.com really showing their whole ass here

The president is just such a stupid asshole. I know we try to ascribe motives to this guy but he’s at the end of the day, when the story is written, just a dumdum idiot with a tiny brain that don’t work so good.

In actual democracies, a National Voter Registration Day is completely unnecessary, since access to suffrage is easy, often automatic, & not the subject of endless pitched legal & political battles about its restriction.

Charlotte Clymer@charlotteclymer.bsky.social · 4w ago

Folks! Today is National Voter Registration Day. You do not have to decorate. Or wear a costume. Or send cards. (All are welcome, though.) All you need to do is check your voter registration: midterms.voteamerica.org/vote/verify/ If you're not registered, do it: midterms.voteamerica.org/vote/

RFK Jr accuses Democrats of "turning our government into the biggest child trafficking operation in world history"

Democrats should promise if they take the House they'll never invited him to do another speech in the chamber. The State of the Union can be sent in on paper like the old days.

Trump told 9/11 families that he was rescued from the rubble of the World Trade Center -- an obvious and shocking lie. Here's how the New York Times reports it. This is like reporting George Wallace's "segregation forever" speech as "Governor speaks at inauguration. Some remarks controversial."

Fox News complains that underage teenage girls aren’t getting pregnant enough: “The problem is teens and young adults. From ages 15-19, the fertility rate is down 70% in the last 2 decades, which means we are telling people who are young not to have babies.”
