I Dissent

Picture of Tony Gonzales and female staffer he was having affair with. She committed suicide by dousing herself in gasoline and caught fire and died.

This is Tony Gonzales!
The staffer he was having an affair with committed suicide.

“​​I’ve asked God to forgive me, which he has,” the San Antonio Republican told a radio host the day after he was forced into a primary runoff.

Why criminals love Christianity!

I believe in a big tent Democratic Party but the tent is not big enough for Nick Fuentes. Fuck that piece of shit.

Really seems like someone should be charged with a crime here

I love this so much

I once sang at a wedding at a nudist camp out in the Arizona desert ... and kept my dress on.

Not gonna share the video of Republican US Senator Tim Sheehy breaking a protesting Marine's hand, but you can find it on @charlotteclymer.bsky.social's timeline.

I'll just say that in a functional country, Sheehy would be expelled by the Senate.

Democratic Senators should publicly push for that.

[TW: graphic fracture, sound of breaking bone]

Sen Tim Sheehy (R-Montana) badly breaking the arm of a Marine veteran protesting the war Iran.

It is so damning of US news media that so many outlets refuse to just straight up say that Senator Tim Sheehy assaulted an activist.

He did not "help" Capitol police. They did not need his help. He wanted to assault the guy and did. He should resign.

Proud to call her an incredible friend for 23 years and counting. What a boss.

We identified 12 shootings by federal agents that led to the deaths or injuries of citizens & immigrants since Sept.

Nearly every time, the Trump admin blamed the injured and dead. Experts say this apparent lack of accountability demands that local authorities step up to investigate federal agents.

Americans are dead. Prices are skyrocketing. The Middle East is on fire. Civil war is brewing in Iran.

And for what? A war that will leave the same hardliners in charge? A war that can't actually destroy their nuclear program?

This is incompetence. Plain and simple.

I miss Dr. Jill Biden. So much!

And now here we are.. Trump starts a war without congressional approval or approval from the majority of Americans, but now we have to pay the full bill for whatever he decides he wants to do because it would be unpatriotic not to let Trump do whatever he wants with our money.

Kelly: "You could pick a random group of people off the street tonight here in DC and they could probably do a better job than our government is doing right now. They don't have a goal, there's no strategic plan. And what this is likely to lead to is, again, a long war with a lot of dead Americans."

AOC: It’s beyond just the American service members who have tragically died in this, and our hearts do go out in prayer to their families, but also the over 100 Iranian schoolgirls who have been killed in these attacks, and the countless people who are affected, possibly displaced as well.

Idaho is latest red state to reject DOJ voter roll grab The refusal places Idaho alongside a growing number of red states pushing back against the department’s campaign.

Idaho — a deeply Republican state — has become the latest to refuse the Trump Justice Department’s demand for unredacted statewide voter rolls. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

NEWS: @robertgarcia.bsky.social announces that Pam Bondi has been subpoenaed by the Oversight Committee to testify regarding the Epstein files.

The White House steals everyone's music because they feel entitled to it. They're not. There's been more musicians demanding they stop, than not.
Let them play Lee Greenwood and Keith Urban on a loop. Our people don't write music to be used at a pedophile's rally.

I expect deceit, corruption and cowardice from the R’s. The biggest disappointment in Trump’s second term is the weakness and apathy of the D’s. I didn’t see it coming. It’s a gut punch every time.

NEW: While Trump turns his back on funding LA’s recovery, the state is stepping up.

@governor.ca.gov Gavin Newsom is making up to $100,000 in mortgage relief available to eligible LA fire survivors.

The US Agency for Global Media, which is run by Kari Lake, has just failed an audit. The organization's finances are too chaotic even to assess.

I always enjoy sharing time with our labor brothers and sisters. We are building something big here in Missouri and November can't come soon enough.

One weird dynamic of this Oversight hearing where Tim Walz and Keith Ellison are testifying together is that some people are warm to them bc they're former colleagues. But a number (like Pete Sessions) treats Walz, a white Christian, pretty differently than they treat Ellison, a Black Muslim.

In addition to today’s Senate vote, the House will likely vote tomorrow on a War Powers Resolution.

We need to make it clear that if our Members of Congress don’t act to halt Trump’s illegal war with Iran, they will own the fallout. Make sure your elected officials hear from you.

Again, this is not a problem that can be solved either with new laws or more court orders. There is only one solution, & everyone knows this, & it would be better if we could focus on the two dozen people in America who can actually make it happen:

There are over 3,800 children locked up in ICE concentration camps (calling it what they are).
Here are children who passed while in ICE custody. May they rest in peace.
Kristi Noem must be held accountable before this number grows exponentially.

#KillerNoem

SWALWELL: Has anyone been fired?

NOEM: There could be


SWAWELL: I'm not asking about 'could be'

NOEM: I hope Miguel Lopez got the $2,600

SWALWELL: Do you think that makes up for not being with his family? It was a nonviolent crime

NOEM: Now that he's been deported he will never get the chance to come back

S: The president is also a convicted felon if you want to talk about criminal records
