Speechless

AG Bondi, here’s that correction you requested.

It's been two weeks since Adelita Grijalva was elected and Mike Johnson has still refused to seat her, unlike in past cases where he swore in new members within 24 hours.

There cannot be one set of rules for Rs and another for Ds.

Also, release the damn Epstein files already.

Kennedy Fires N.I.H. Scientist Who Filed Whistle-Blower Complaint

RFK Jr. fired Dr. Jeanne Marrazzo, the former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (the institute led by Anthony Fauci for 38 years), after she filed a whistleblower complaint alleging that the Trump regime had undermined vaccine research and defied court orders.

This is out of hand. These agents are there to cause trouble and violence, not to keep people safe. These are the scenes that play out in war torn, destitute countries - not America.

I forget-- who controls the White House, Senate, and House?

Did anyone else see this today and wonder wtf happened?

A day in the Portland war zone

The Portland War Zone isn't for everyone but at least the chaos is locally sourced.

All these headlines saying “Bondi Goes on the Attack.” Really? She wasn’t in the octagon, she’s a public servant who was at an oversight hearing. Her job was to answer questions. She refused to do her job. Stop glamorizing and whitewashing this moronic, performative bullshit.

Speaker Mike Johnson’s press conference was cut off the air by MSNBC, after he once again lied about Obamacare subsidies. Host Ana set the record straight: “Just to make sure we don’t offer misleading information ... There is no access for undocumented immigrants to get Obamacare....”

THE ENEMY? "IT SHOULD BE CLEAR FROM RECENT EVENTS THAT AMERICA'S ENEMY IS NOT THE COMMUNISTS OVER THERE, BUT THOSE DERANGED RIGHT-WING LUNATICS RIGHT HERE."- FRANK ZAPPA, 1989

Frank Zappa said this in 1989.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

Is the shooter in custody? They took the victim into custody but the shooter has to face consequences.

This has nothing to do with crime. This is an attempt to crush political dissent.

Never before, in our entire 250 year history, has the military or immigration agents been used like this. It's dystopian, illegal, and it should stop.

Y’all! The woman in Chicago who was shot by ICE after allegedly ramming agents with her car didn’t do it.
Body-cam footage shows the opposite. The ICE agent rammed her then jumped out, and started shooting. Video posted on social media forced them to release their footage.

ICE wants to build a 24/7 social media surveillance team ICE plans to hire contractors to scan platforms to target people for deportation.

Earlier this year, ICE had floated plans for a system that could automatically scan social media for “negative sentiment” toward the agency and flag users thought to show a “proclivity for violence.”

I was talking about normal circumstances. Agree it’s all hands on deck to fight the coup. We also need to keep resistance going on all levels. Keep poking holes wherever we can. Even if we don’t think it’ll go anywhere. Let them know we see them. Keep calling attention to illegal activities.

Ms. Martinez’ lawyer says body cam footage shows the agent turned into HER car and yelled “do something bitch” before firing shots.

If they can deny us cake and toilets on a whim, we can certainly deny them coffee and a toilet.

Peeps are calling for this to be officially entered into the lexicon, and I’m down with that. I could use a break.

One Major Issue Causing Delays At U.S. Airports As Shutdown Persists Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said that at times, air traffic staffing has been cut by 50% in some areas since the shutdown started last week.

Gee, Sean Duffy, maybe you could get your party off its ass, quit playing games and actually negotiate your way out of the mess you’ve created.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

There’s a pattern though. He has a bunch of public appearances and then disappears for a few days. No stamina.

The CNN anchor did not explain how he verified that it was the president — not any of his aides — who authored the written responses to his questions. He also did not explain whether he’d made any effort to speak with the president by phone, something that has become commonplace for reporters covering the second Trump administration because Trump has maintained use of his personal mobile phone since returning to the presidency and frequently uses it to contact reporters directly. The president’s purported text message exchange with Tapper was also unusual because Trump is not known to be a frequent user of his phone’s text message capacity. He also famously eschews email and other written forms of communication and during his first term he openly complained when attorneys working for his administration took notes during meetings. Trump’s unconventional use of text-based communications to purportedly respond to Tapper comes as questions continue to swirl about the state of his health

Jake Tapper did a whole interview with Trump by text message? Which means he can't actually confirm it was him. And now everyone's asking even more than before very reasonable questions about the wannabe dictator's health.

Sen. Kennedy with another set of probing questions about Epstein 👇

KENNEDY: Have you interviewed Secretary Lutnick?

BONDI: No senator

K: Do you plan to?

B: If he wants to talk to the FBI--

K: Don't you think you ought to talk to him after this interview? Maybe we ought to get Lutnick in here
