We are going to be seeing much more โ€œunAmericanโ€ stuff as America winds down her 249 year run, under Republican rule.

Don't be fooled: The Laken Riley Act is "Show Me Your Papers" 2.0, supercharged & nationwide. It's a blueprint for turning America into a police state where anyone can be detained on suspicion alone. This isn't just unconstitutionalโ€”it's un-American.

@gavinnewsom.bsky.social on Mike Johnson considering conditioning disaster aid: "Never in California did we question whether or not we, as taxpayers in the largest state in the Union, should support the people of Louisiana at a time of emergency and need. Weโ€™d never condition it."

As DHS secretary Kristi Noem will be responsible for FEMA

After a record breaking flood, As governor, she left her own constituents, high and dry w/out National Guard assistance, but she did send the national guard to the Texas Mexico border 1200 miles away at taxpayers expenseโ€”5 times!

Itโ€™s amazing to me that politicians donโ€™t commit to post first on @bsky.app and to engage with constituents here

THIS is more powerful than CNN , MSNBC, The Post will ever be.

You can broadcast for 9 mins on a declining medium, or engage here and start a real discussion.

Which is more powerful?

Pete Hegseth and the Pornhubโ€“Purity Culture Coalition What explains todayโ€™s political alliance of worldly bros and high-minded theobros? Start with the presumptive SecDefโ€™s views on women and sex.

"While the Mike Johnsons of the world are forming anti-porn accountability pacts with their teenage sons, the misogynistic view of women held by their porn-addled brethren is mirrored in their religious culture."

Pam Bondi Puts Loyalty to Trump First The disturbing priorities revealed in the attorney general nomineeโ€™s answersโ€”and non-answers.

If standing next to Rudy Giuliani at the Four Seasons Total Landscaping conference wasn't disqualifying for Pam Bondi, refusing to straightforwardly say at her hearing that Joe Biden was legitimately elected sure is.

Can someone explain why TikTok is a bigger national security concern than a social media platform run by a South African technofeudal oligarch actively interfering in our elections and sabotaging our national interests here and abroad?

Smith is not making the claim a jury would have convicted. He is restating the standard prosecutors must meet before they can indict, that he believed there was sufficient evidence to obtain & sustain a conviction. The decision is left up to the jury. Justice is done when they have that opportunity.

And don't bring Jesus into your mess, Hegseth. Jesus ain't got nothing to do with it.

Hegseth is trying to be a smooth-talker today during his confirmation hearingโ€ฆ

But heโ€™s sexist, against diversity in our armed forces, and is unqualified to serve as Secretary of Defense.

Thatโ€™s the substance over style that the Senate must focus on.
