Was talking with work friends about movies and Tom Holland. One coworker asks, isn't' that one of the immigration officials. Clicks he is talking Homan and I mention he got caught in a sting with bag of cash and nothing came of it. First any of them had heard about it. Political Malpractice.

Whitehouse: "The last Q I'm left with is what's left of this committee? What's left when we don't demand straight answers? How many times has this DOJ been asked what became of the $50k the FBI reported it handed to Homan? ... our Republican colleagues see no evil, hear no evil, and speak no evil"

Jimmy Carter was never fully accepted by the national party elites even from the time he won the primaries in the 70s. That said he saw these issues around Israel and Palestine very clearly and we would be in a much better spot had he been listened to.

I Remember, Hope you do….

looking for a simple poop scooper for the backyard to replace the nice metal one that finally broke. Someone has evil on their minds with the option on the right....

However horrible you think the Tate brothers are, I promise, it's worse than that. It's insane that Dems aren't making a bigger deal of the GOP embracing these grotesque monsters.

The Tate Brothers' Should Be The Trumps' Second Epstein Scandal

The truth is much worse than most people realize, and they knew a lot of it.

Lot of energy for our ticket this year.

Soon

Sums it up well.

Yall. Jasmine Clark is gonna be a hell of a congresswoman!

Sitting here at the Ga Dem convention realizing we have 4 retired military officers running for Congress this year. Is that something the Republicans can even touch?

Georgia State Democratic Convention today. Charlie Bailey starting off ‘giving the business’. #gapol

Good morning Savannah. 7 AM. 90% humidity.

There is humid and there is Savannah in August humid. Yall I am moist. All over. And not in a good way.

We have to think one of the media they trained this thing on is terminator, right?

New from me + @raphae.li: In the process of investigating the Hugging Face hack, OpenAI found evidence that some its other AI agents broke out of their sandboxes, per sources. The company is now widening its probe to include those newly found incidents. www.reuters.com/business/ope...

6 years ago yesterday, ardent Trump supporter Herman Cain died of COVID, which he likely caught at one of Trump’s many superspreader events— a campaign rally in Tulsa—where thousands packed together unmasked during the height of the pandemic. RIP Herman Cain, or as Trump might call him, Herman who?

Here’s another for the database @404media.co www.facebook.com/share/p/1EkX...

🧵 NEW: A spokesperson for Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, where Franklin Graham is president and CEO, messaged me today about two married pastors in the U.S. on religious visas who were arrested by ICE last week in Texas as they were trying to fly to a Billy Graham marriage conference.

It’s fun how Waze gives you a choice of routes when you start and then says fuck you and routes you the way it wants anyway.

Remember when we were all up in arms because the Russians held an American basketball player in prison and thought how barbaric it was to do. Now here we are. What are we doing.

Ameaka Fatima Nkempu, a Johns Hopkins University researcher in public health, was detained by ICE while boarding a domestic flight. She says she is Cameroonian in a Medium article that she authored. As of Thursday morning, the ICE Online Detainee Locator did not list where she was being held.

Some of us are old enough to remember the absolute shit fit Republicans had over solyndra and the government funding solar panel research. Here we are now years later with China eating our lunch on solar efficency and the Republicans are now 'picking winners and losers'.

@whitehouse-47.bsky.social The United States of America is NOT supposed to engage in this. A RECKONING WILL HAPPEN IN NOVEMBER.

Decent primer on the Bottoms mayoral administration. www.ajc.com/politics/202...

5 defining tests from Keisha Lance Bottoms’ years as Atlanta mayor

Bottoms, the Democratic nominee for governor, spent four years as mayor of Georgia's capital city. Republican nominee Rick Jackson wants voters to remember how it went.

We really should have gone to greater lengths to be loudly disgusted by anyone who acted like getting a shot or wearing a mask to prevent the spread of a pandemic virus was worse than being conscripted into the First World War

Every not and then there is a little surge among people to think Rand Paul is one of the good ones. No. He isn't. He might be as loony as RFK. A waste of time and space to badger an 85 yr old man that did an incredible job considering both the circumstances of the illness and the admin at the time.

Jamie Dupree@jamiedupree.bsky.social · last wk.

Instead of a hearing where he fights (yet again) with Sen. Rand Paul R-KY, Dr. Anthony Fauci took the Fifth at a review of the COVID-19 outbreak

I dunno but it should probably be a bigger deal that the White House announced it wants to slap a 100% tariff on drug imports at the same time it is eliminating Medicare drug subsidies. And we’re talking about critical life-saving drugs like insulin, blood thinners, antibiotics, and heart meds.

minnesota state rep jess hanson rides elon musk for filth for trying to defend his pervy app: "when the richest man in the world hangs out with the epstein class... we cannot act surprised when he's trying to protect the number one tool used to make child sexual abuse material"

Oliver Willis@owillis.bsky.social · last wk.

minnesota state senator directly taking on musk and his big pockets PRECISELY HOW DEMOCRATS SHOULD BE DOING IT

Am I missing something about why it’s better for the country to have a Senator from KY (who will undoubtedly be maga friendly) vs some undead entity sitting in a rehab unable to be a 51st vote on something.

The only responsible attitude for liberals and progressives to align on is that all right-wing grievances, claims and believes are not only false, but malicious lies. Nothing passes the mouth of an American conservative in public life that is not meant to harm and destroy the lives of millions.

Police arrested a teacher for clapping during a city council meeting last week. They went to the meeting of Emporia, Kansas City Commission to speak out against a proposed hyperscale data center that would sit on 1,000 acres of rural land. @mjgault.bsky.social reports www.404media.co/person-oppos...

Hey I know inflation is out of control and a lot of folks can’t afford basic necessities, but at least we’re tackling waste fraud and abuse by buying… *checks notes* 250 Escalades for the government.

Another buy a pardon deal... disgusting!
