Trump Suddenly ‘Forgets’ Who Ghislaine Maxwell Is

This is exactly what the right wants— our silence.

They want us afraid and to stop speaking up, to check out, to shut up about politics. We can’t give them that. Not now. Not ever.

Talking about kitchen table issues is not going to do shit.

Don’t give an inch

Shaheen, a retiring Dem Rs are looking to flip on shutdown, says of OMB threats on back pay: “It would be a lot easier to resolve the situation if Russ Vought would stop talking.”

I'm on the record saying that Russ Vought will do things during the shutdown that will make his illegal rescissions visible in the way they otherwise weren't. And boy howdy, threatening to ignore the law on backpay is a great example. [corrected]

A day in the Portland war zone

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

Because They Gave Their Souls
Willingly To The Chumpster.......

Bondi: That would be on VP Vance's playlist

“Our members have a right, protected by the First Amendment, to do their jobs and report the news. They should not be targeted, injured or arrested for doing their jobs.”

a way to understand Bari Weiss’ ascendance is that capital absolutely does not want to “turn down the temperature” on culture war, au contraire they understand culture war to be their most successful media project and want more more more.

Time for their ship to sink💥🤬

Man she’s in his head
