Via Will: "When a cargo ship took out a #Baltimore bridge, it also demolished the lies poisoning our #immigration debate

The 6 migrant men who died weren't drug dealers or sex traffickers but hero dads filling potholes to give their kids a better life.

This column meant more to me than anything I've written for a while. Here's an excerpt. Please take a moment to read the whole thing."

Heyo, here's an #Otter

From focus on the 'soft voice' of extremist #MikeJohnson to soft-selling #Trump's dictatorial plans to calling killing civilians 'a crater,' something's very wrong with the #media today

It's called cowardice

From Gaza City to Capitol Hill, a cowed media is chronicling the death of democracy in a passive voice

Congressman Tom Emmer

* voted against a J6 commission
* supported Texas v Pennsylvania challenging election results
* supported Trump’s Muslim ban
* voted to repeal the ACA
* opposes same sex marriage
* wants to eliminate contraception availability
* voted with Trump over 90% of the time

Maga through-and-through

So what’s Trump do when Tom’s the GOP nominee for speaker?

Attack him on truth social and try to tank his chances

That’s your boy, GOP. Leopards, meet face.

Michael Cohen just entered the courtroom. Trump didn't look at him as he walked to the witness stand.

Trump has his arms crossed as he watches Michael Cohen testify.

@SwiftOnSecurity "Add all that up, and by the end of the U.S. tour, you’ve got a $5.7 billion boost to the country’s economy. That’s enough to give $440 to each person in Swift’s home state of Pennsylvania. Or almost enough to send every American a $20 bill."

Via Liz Cheney on the hellsite:

#JimJordan was involved in Trump's conspiracy to steal the election and seize power; he urged that Pence refuse to count lawful electoral votes. If Rs nominate Jordan to be Speaker, they will be abandoning the Constitution. They’ll lose the House majority and they’ll deserve to.

In 2017, Donald Trump divulged classified intelligence including intel on Israel to Sergei Lavrov and Sergey Kislyak during a meeting at The White House

Russia has ties to Iran and Hamas

Zero chance this was an isolated event

Why is Donald Trump still free?

Yes, RNC Chair ToneDeaf McWTF Ronna McDaniel said in a clip on the hellsite that the Hamas attack on #Israel is a great opportunity for Republican candidates.

Via @emptywheel:

Ronna McDaniel would like to remind you that the head of the GOP gave away Israeli intelligence to his buddies the Russians.

So by "stand with Israel," she means, sold them out.

@GottaLaff delicious!

Children, children, do we have to turn this Congress around?

Sorry I can't post the vid, but via Ron Filipkowski:

Chip Roy goes after #Gaetz: “You want to come at me and call me a RINO you can kiss my ass! You go around talking your big game and thumping your chest on Twitter. Come in my office and have a debate mother —-!”

God they're such idiots.

Kimberly Guilfoyle: "John Gotti never even had four indictments at once"

I remember the 2000 Election. There were enough votes for Ralph Nader to hand the election to George W. Bush.

I remember the 2016 Election. There were enough votes for Jill Stein to hand the election to Donald Trump.

In 2024 the Green Party is running Cornell West. Let’s not repeat this history, friends

Your vote is not a marriage. You’re not choosing a life partner. It’s a chess move for what’s best for the country and the world.

Two law professors active in the Federalist Society wrote that the original meaning of the 14th Amendment makes Donald Trump ineligible to hold government office. LOL. Federalist Society trying to stuff 30 years of anti-democratic diarrhea and soft-serve shit back into the tube. #EndTheFederalistSociety #14thAmendment #Trump #FederalistHezbollah #GOP #EvilGOP
