To grab the limelight, Nancy Mace has targeted Sarah McBride, the nation’s first elected trans House member. The vitriol from Mace has been contemptible.

This is in sharp contrast with McBride, who has acted commendably and with grace. And ironically, McBride now has high national visibility.

Canada's top military commander Jennie Carignan calls out the GOP for questioning women in combat: After 39 years as a combat arms officer and risking my life in many operations, I can’t believe that in 2024, we still have to justify women's contribution to defense and service in their country...

... One thing that nobody has paid much attention to, but they should, is the fact that Trump and the people close to him have called for Capitol Police Officer Michael Byrd to be prosecuted for murder in the shooting death of Ashli Babbitt on J6. Trump could very easily have his DOJ open up an investigation and charge Byrd, and I would not be shocked if that happens.

Good thing Trump’s new HHS Secretary RFK Jr is an advocate for raw milk. That pasteurization stuff that saved hundreds of thousands of kids from bovine tuberculosis and other diseases is all deep state nonsense. πŸ™„

When I was a child, I learned that the Constitution didn’t apply to people like us. I said the Pledge of Allegiance from inside a barbed wire camp, the words β€œwith liberty and justice for all” wholly meaningless.

But I did not give up on America. I’ve spent my life fighting for its ideals.

I feel like not enough people know that Elon Musk first became wealthy by being so awful at running a company that his own management team mutinied when he went on his honeymoon; his own board of directors then fired him; and his replacement then turned the company into PayPal.

A lot of MAGApotamians seem to forget that the President is the President until the next President is sworn in, not until you've decided you don't want him to do stuff anymore

Post by John Nichols:

Harris is now winning a higher percentage of the popular vote than Trump in 2016 or 2020.

Trump 2016: 46.1%

Trump 2020: 46.8%

Harris 2024: 48.4%

Trump didn’t win a β€œlandslide” in 2024. In fact, his victory margin is one of the smallest in US history.

This is a very important point. Please let everyone know.

Dear Magaidiot, small in the pants, incel, chucklefuck trolls,

Yes. I will block you on here.
I put up with enough of your rage jerking on the Nazi rapist hellscape.
I’m not doing it on here too.
Bluesky ain’t for you anyway.
Folks here talk fancy & we don’t fuck sheep.

Now… shoo.

As we saw over the past two years, Republican leadership is inept and ineffective.

When they inevitably fail to legislate again, House Democrats will once again be asked to step up to the plate and ensure that the American people are not harmed by Republicans’ incompetence.

MAGAS Lost the Election, Too. They Just Don't Know it Yet. There is joy in MAGAville right now.

Soon and very soon, MAGAs are going to feel the crushing weight of objective reality come smashing down upon their red hats, as the truth that cannot be covered over by Fox News fictions or GOP spin doctors becomes terrifyingly clear: they have lost, too.

a dark room with a ladder leading up to the top of it Alt: A scene from The Expanse. A close quarters space battle between the Rocinante and the stealth ship at Thoth station. Cut to an interior shot of the Roci that shows high-speed PDC rounds penetrating the hull and passing through the crew compartment, leaving trails of sparks.

Favorite TV show: #TheExpanse, hands down

Sad commentary on society that someone who’s shown only grace and class has been the target of a relentless smear campaign by small, petty people desperate for attention and clicks at any cost.
